Abstract |
The paper presents the capacity and energy consumption of refrigerant replacements for HFC-134a and/or CFC-12 as determined by experimental testing and analysis. Refrigerator/freezer (R/F) tests were run according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturer's testing conditions in an environmental test chamber. The charge was optimized for each refrigerant, and the results were compared to those for HFC-134a and CFC-12. The numerical model and experiment results were compared to verify the model. The paper investigates HFC-245cb/HFC-134 and HFC-134. Computer modeling predicts that these azeotropes will perform similarly to HFC-134a, which has a higher global warming potential than any of the mixtures except HFC-245cb/HFC-134. |
