Résumé

Due to efforts aimed at decarbonizing industries, the use of refrigerants with low global warming potential (GWP) is highly recommended in the air-conditioning and refrigeration sectors. Despite possessing low-GWP values of less than 150, hydrofluoroolefins (HFO) exhibit relatively lower heat transfer performance compared to conventional hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) under certain operating conditions. In contrast to HFCs, there is a high demand for enhanced surfaces to meet the needs of heat transfer systems utilizing low GWP refrigerants. Accordingly, this study analyzes the pool boiling performance of low-GWP refrigerants in microchannel geometries. The experiments were carried out at various heat flux levels on both smooth and enhanced surfaces. The pool boiling behavior of low-GWP refrigerant R1234yf was compared to that of R-134a refrigerant in terms of heat transfer coefficient and wall superheat. The results indicate that the heat transfer coefficients of the enhanced surface are significantly higher than those of the smooth surface. Furthermore, the microchannel geometry demonstrated a lower wall superheat compared to the smooth surface. Additionally, a visualization study was performed using a high-speed camera to understand the pool boiling mechanism of low-GWP refrigerants on both smooth and enhanced surfaces.
