Abstract | Ten refrigerants including CFC-12, HFC-134a, and eight refrigerant blends were tested in an instrumented automotive air-conditioning system designed for CFC-12. The refrigerants were compared at three test conditions for refrigeration capacity, coefficient of performance, compressor discharge pressure, compressor discharge temperature, and evaporator outlet pressure. The results were obtained by testing all the refrigerants in the same system under the same conditions, and the results provide an indication of the comparative performance of the refrigerants. |
