Theoretical study of R32 in an oil flooded compression cycle with a scroll machine.

Type of article: Article, IJR article
Summary
R32 is regarded as a potential alternative for R410A, but it has a low slope of isentropic line, high superheat inside a compressor and thus a high discharge temperature. These disadvantages limit its wider adoption. In order to improve the performance of R32 air conditioner, oil flooded compression with regenerator has been suggested. A single stage oil flooded compressor model is developed to obtain a more accurate system-level improvement. In the compressor model, the heat transfer losses between shell and ambient, suction gas and motor, and high-pressure and low-pressure cylinders are considered. By means of parametric studies, it was found that the novel cycle resulted to be beneficial to increase the compressor internal superheating, to decrease the compressor heat losses and to improve its overall isentropic efficiency while cooling capacity or heating capacity is degraded. COPh improvement can reach up to 16.4% for an evaporating and condensing temperatures of -25 °C and 45 °C, respectively. The discharge temperature resulted to be lower than 110 °C. In addition, a thorough comparison between R32 and R410A with both novel and baseline systems has been carried out. The results indicate that the novel cycle has potential benefits for applications in R32 air conditioners.
