A Comparative Study of Centrifugal Chiller Performances After CFC Refrigerant Conversion
Keyword(s):
Theoretical analysis indicated that, a typical centrifugal chiller could lose over 8% to 10% of its cooling capacity after converting from R-11 into using R-123 refrigerant. In this study, an attempt to recover some of this capacity loss by slightly decreasing its operating speed was analyzed. A full-scale experiment was performed to change the gear train of a 300 RT centrifugal chillier, which validated that 3%∼6% capacity recovery could be expected. This is a break-through to promote the chiller conversion for wide engineering applications and is discussed in detail in this paper.
