ShareResults of soft-optimized system tests in ARI's R22 Alternative Refrigerants Evaluation Program (AREP).
Author(s) : GODWIN D. S.
Summary
The phaseout of R22 will require manufacturers of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment to find suitable alternatives for this widely-used refrigerant. The R22 AREP was established by the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) to assist manufacturers in obtaining peformance data on a multitude of R22 and R502 alternatives. Results from these "soft-optimized" system tests are summarized and evaluated for two compositions each of two different refrigerant blends. Various techniques were employed to "soft-optimize" systems, with varying efficacy. No single alternative appears as a universal replacement for R22. The AREP tests represent only a first step in manufacturers' efforts to bring next-generation equipment to the marketplace.
