Residential Split Heat Pump Using Low GWP Refrigerants.

Number: No 230

Author(s) : SHEN B., ALLY M.

Summary

Conventional refrigerants, e.g. R-410A have high global warming potentials (GWP) > 1800. They are being phased out to protect the environment. The candidates to replace R-410A include R-32, R-452B, R-454B and R-466A for heat pump applications. These candidates are intended for drop-in replacement, i.e. having minimum modifications on existing systems. The paper investigates the low GWP refrigerants drop-in application via system simulations using a well-regarded, hardware-based heat pump model. A baseline heat pump having all fin-and-tube heat exchangers and a two-speed compressor was used. Cross-comparisons were made under rated conditions of ambient temperatures, compressor speeds, indoor air flow rates, respectively for cooling and heating operations. The seasonal performance indices, i.e. SEER and HSPF are presented.
