Mélanges de frigorigènes non-inflammables à faible PRP pour remplacer le HFC-134a. 

Lower-GWP non-flammable refrigerant blends to replace HFC-134a.

Résumé

Non-flammable, lower global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants are needed to replace HFC-134a (GWP=1300) in military equipment. We previously used thermodynamic cycle simulations to screen 100 000+ refrigerant blends and identified 23 candidate replacements. In the present study we narrowed the candidates to three “best” blends and measured their “drop-in” performance in a military environmental control unit (ECU) tested in environmental chambers. Through simulations, the laboratory-measured performance was extrapolated to that of ECUs equipped with a compressor modified for each blend to provide the same system capacity while maintaining the isentropic efficiency of the original HFC-134a compressor. R-513A (GWP=573) and Tern-1 [R-134a/1234yf/1234ze(E) (49.2/33.9/16.9 %mass), GWP=640] are good replacement blends for HFC-134a, offering a similar capacity and COP at GWP reductions of 66 % and 51 %, respectively. These fluids do not present significant application difficulties. For a greater reduction of GWP, R-515B (GWP=344) can be considered but it requires further development.
