Summary

The heat transfer coefficient on the blend R408A has the highest rate among the blends under investigation. The condensation data also showed that R502 and R407B have similar heat transfer rates when plotted against the refrigerant mass flow rate. It can also be observed that, as the mass flux increases, the heat transfer coefficient also increases. Correlations were proposed to predict average heat transfer characteristics of alternatives to R502 (R507, R404A, R407B and R408A). In addition, proposed correlations were found to fairly accurately predict the two-phase flow heat transfer condensation data.
