Résumé

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the effects of a decreasing refrigerant charge on the performance and operating conditions of an R513A water-to-water heat pump equipped with a large liquid receiver, an electronic expansion valve, and a vapor accumulator at the compressor inlet. The mass of the refrigerant inside the machine is progressively extracted to simulate refrigerant leakages occurring during the normal operation or in case of failures. The results show that the subcooling is the parameter mostly affected by a refrigerant charge variation since it rapidly collapses to 0 K with the charge reduction. Furthermore, it is possible to identify three different zones in which almost all the properties analyzed (COP, heating capacity, operating pressures and expansion valve opening) exhibit peculiar trends with the charge decrease: subcooling sensitivity zone, constant parameters zone, and compressor failure risk zone. The extension of these zones is determined by the size of the liquid receiver which is installed in the system and, for the heat pump under consideration, is between 100% and 95% of the initial charge for the first zone, between 95% and 40% for the second zone, and below 40% for the third zone.
