Abstract
The paper gives results of a thermodynamic evaluation that investigates the performance of 15 new chemicals as refrigerants, the impact of the new chemicals on compressor size and operating characteristics, and the efficiency of the refrigerants in vapor compression cycles. Their efficiency in the basic vapor compression cycle is low, but improves substantially in a cycle with internal heat exchange. Several alternatives are identified as promising replacements. As a step in evaluating the potential performance of the 15 compounds, the evaluation using limited property data was performed on the chemicals for use as refrigerants in supermarket, chiller, refrigerator/freezer, heat pump, and air conditioning applications. The 15 chemicals included 10 fluorinated propanes, 3 fluorinated butanes, and 2 fluorinated ethers which are potential chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon replacements.
