In this work, R1234yf is tested in an air-conditioning system as a proposed alternative to R134a. The system is tested at 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50[Formula: see text]Hz evaporator fan frequency to cool the air entering into the evaporator section at a fixed temperature of 35∘C. The system is charged with 600, 700, 800, 1000 and 1200[Formula: see text]g of each refrigerant. The charge mass of 800 grams gives the best performance for both refrigerants. Also, R1234yf has higher COP, exergetic efficiency, second law efficiency, and lower compressor power consumption. Both refrigerants operate at a moderate range of compressor discharge temperature of 85∘C.

When the ordinary heat pump air conditioning system of a pure electric vehicle runs at ultra-low temperature, the discharge temperature of compressor will be too high and the heating capacity of the system will decay seriously, it will lead to inactivity of the heating system. In order to solve this problem, a modification is put forward, and an experiment is also designed. The experimental results show that in the same conditions, this new heating system increases more than 20% of the heating capacity; when the outside environment temperature is negative 20 degrees, the discharge temperature of compressor is below 60 degrees.

The energy and exergy of low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants were investigated experimentally and theoretically. Refrigerants with a modest GWP100 of  ≤ 150 can be sufficient for bringing down emissions which were concerned for the automotive air-conditioning system. Three types of low-GWP refrigerants, R152a, R1234yf, and R1234ze(E), were examined with particular reference to the current high-GWP of R134a. The effect of different evaporating and condensing temperatures in addition to compressor speed was considered. The purpose was to bring a clear view of the performance characteristics of possible environment friendly alternatives of R134a. The analysis was carried out with compressor power, cooling capacity, coefficient of performance, exergy destruction, and exergy efficiency. It was noted that the total exergy destruction of R1234yf was reduced by 15% compared to that of R134a. The refrigerant R1234ze(E) has the highest energetic and exergetic performance compared with the other investigated refrigerants.

When water chillers are arranged in series-series counterflow (SSCF), the compressor lift of each chiller is decreased in comparison with that of water chillers in parallel. This means that the compressor power of SSCF chillers is lower than that of parallel chillers. In this paper, models of the main components in an air conditioning system were developed and verified to predict the behaviors of the whole system with respect to SSCF chillers. The results showed that performance was maximized with three SSCF chillers when the system was operated with normal set points. The performance was further improved to 26% and decreased with the number of SSCF chillers when the system was operated with optimal set points. The SSCF chiller system also demonstrated higher exergy efficiency regardless of the number of SSCF chillers. The irreversibility of components in SSCF chillers was rather low. However, the irreversibility of the cooling tower and cooling coil was slightly higher and lower, respectively, than those in the parallel chiller system.

This work has as object of study the energy of a river ship air conditioning system performance, using fiberglass, polyurethane or rockwool as insulation. Thermoeconomics Indicators based on second law of thermodynamics which take into account the quality of the energy and the cost of the exergy were used for research. It was observed that: (i) by increasing the thickness of the insulation the irreversibilities decreased, (ii) increases in the destroyed exergy increased generation of cooling load costs and (iii) costs per unit of exergy of heat load and area for the generation of cooling load and for investment in exergetic insulation, were minors for polyurethane.
