The coefficient of performance (COP), the volumetric refrigeration capacity and the pressure ratio of refrigeration cycle were studied in a refrigeration-type compressed-air dryer using environmentally friendly refrigerants R410A and R407C and compared with those using R22. Study indicates that under the working condition of a refrigeration-type compressed-air dryer, COP using R410A is 3% higher than that using R407C, the volumetric refrigeration capacity using R410A is 50 percentage points higher than that using R407C and the pressure ratio of R410A is 10% less than that of R407C. COP using R410A equals 96% of that using R22 and the volumetric refrigerating capacity equals 147% of that using R22. COP using R407C is equal to 93% of that using R22 and the volumetric refrigerating capacity is equal to 97% of that using R22. R410A is a more appropriate alternative to R22 than R407C in a refrigeration-type compressed-air dryer.

The coefficient of performance (COP), the volumetric refrigeration capacity and the pressure ratio of the refrigeration cycle were calculated for a refrigeration-type compressed-air dryer using natural environmentally friendly refrigerants R717, R290 and R610a and compared with those using R22. Study shows that in the working condition of a refrigeration-type compressed-air dryer the COP and volumetric refrigeration capacity using R717 are 5% and 11% higher than those using R22 respectively and COP using R290 is equal to 98% of COP using R22 and the volumetric refrigeration capacity is equal to 85% of that using R22. Although COP using R600a is 2% higher than that using R22, the volumetric refrigeration capacity is much lower than that using other refrigerants above mentioned. R717 and R290 are recommended as appropriate substitute refrigerants for R22 in a refrigeration-type compressed-air dryer.

R22 that has been used predominantly in air conditioning and in medium and low-temperature applications contains ozone depleting chlorine atoms and hence will be phased out eventually. This paper presents the experimental performance study of a split-air-conditioner using ozone friendly alternative refrigerants. The existing split-air-conditioner originally designed for R22 as the working fluid was retrofitted with R410A and R417A respectively, and the performance of the system was evaluated and compared with its performance when R22 was used. Experimental results showed that with R417A, the system had 1.9% higher refrigeration capacity and 14.2% lower with R410A when compared to that of R22. The average discharge pressure of the compressor obtained with R417A and R410A were 3.8% lower and 10.3% higher, respectively, than with R22. The lowest compressor power consumption and pressure ratio were obtained with the R417A retrofitted system. The average coefficient of performance (COP) obtained using R417A is 2.9% higher, while that of R410A is 8.4% lower than that of R22. Generally, with R417A the system consistently had the best performance in comparison to both R22 and R410A, indicating that R417A would be a better choice for retrofitting existing split-air-conditioners originally designed to use R22 as working fluid.

Abstract Substituting Hydrofluorocarbons with natural refrigerants in domestic refrigerators will significantly reduce the direct contributions of fluorinated gases to global warming which will be of great environmental benefit. In this study, the performances of dimethyl-ether (RE170) and its azeotropic mixtures (R510A and R511A) in a refrigeration system were assessed theoretically and compare with that of conventional refrigerant. The study revealed that the three investigated alternative refrigerants exhibited significantly good heat transfer characteristics, low pressure ratio, high latent heat in the liquid phase which resulted in their high thermal conductivity and Volumetric Cooling Capacity (VCC). The thermal conductivity of the refrigerants reduces while the evaporating temperature rises and the value obtained for RE170 was the highest among the four refrigerants studied. The Coefficient of Performance (COP) for RE170, R510A and R511A were higher than that of R134a by 6.20, 10.06 and 3.02 % respectively while their power consumptions per ton of refrigeration were lower than that of R134a by 6.99, 11.04 and 1.47 % respectively. In conclusion, dimethyl-ether and its azeotropic mixtures performed better than R134a in that they have higher thermal conductivity, refrigerating effect, VCC, COP, lower power consumption per ton of refrigeration and hence, they can be considered as suitable replacements for R134a in domestic refrigerator.

In this study, the performance of a window-type air-conditioning unit with an alternative, ozone-friendly refrigerant was enhanced by incorporating a nozzle instead of a capillary tube as an expansion device. An experimental evaluation was adopted on a 1.5 RT window-type air-conditioning unit with a controlled environmental zone. According to operating conditions, an ANSYS-Fluent program was used to predict an appropriate nozzle size for a lower pressure ratio. The refrigeration cycle model was simulated using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES).27 The results showed that using a nozzle of 30[Formula: see text]mm length and inner and outer diameters of 9 and 2[Formula: see text]mm, respectively instead of the capillary tube with R404A reduces compressor power consumption by 7.7% and increases the coefficient of performance (COP) by 7.4%.

Ideal Bose Gas

A Brayton refrigeration cycle using an ideal Bose gas as the working substance is simply referred to as a quantum Brayton refrigeration cycle, which consists of two constant-pressure and two adiabatic processes. The influence of quantum degeneracy on the performance of the cycle is investigated, based on the correction equation of state of an ideal Bose gas. The general expressions of the coefficient of performance, refrigeration load and work input of the cycle are calculated. The lowest temperature of the working substance and the minimum pressure ratio of the two constant-pressure processes for a quantum Brayton refrigeration cycle are determined. The variations of the relative refrigeration load with the temperature of the cooled space and the pressure of the low constant-pressure process are discussed for three special cases. Some curves related to the important performance parameters are given. The results obtained here are compared with those of a classical Brayton refrigeration cycle using an ideal gas as the working substance. Some significant conclusions are obtained.

In this study, two experiments were performed, one with the conventional compression refrigeration cycle (CRC) and the other with an ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC). The CRC system for automotive air conditioning was designed, fabricated and experiments were conducted. The system was then retrofitted with an ejector as the expansion device and experiments were repeated for the ERC system. Calculations of the entrainment ratio, compressor compression ratio and coefficient of performance (COP) were made for each cycle. The calculations showed that ERC has some advantages over the CRC. In this study, an average improvement of 5% in COP has been obtained for the ERC compared with the CRC.

Refrigerant R-22 is a substance that destroys the ozone layer, so that in the field of air conditioning it has begun to be replaced, among others with refrigerants R-32 and R-410a, and also R-290. Through this research, we want to know how much Coefficient of Performance (COP) and Refrigeration Capacity (Qe) can be produced for the four types of refrigerants. The study was carried out theoretically for the working conditions of the vapor compression cycle with an evaporation temperature (Tevap) of 0, -5, and -10oC, a further heated refrigerant temperature (ΔTSH) of 5 oC, a condensation temperature (Tkond) of 45 oC and a low-cold refrigerant temperature. (ΔTSC) 10 oC and compression power of 1 PK . The results of the study show that the Coefficient of Performance (COP) in the use of R-22 and R-290 is higher than the use of R-32 and R-410a, which are 4,920 respectively; 4,891; 4.690 and 4.409 when working at an evaporation temperature of 0 oC; 4.260; 4,234; 4.060 and 3.812 when working at an evaporation temperature of -5 oC; and amounted to 3,730; 3,685; 3,550 and 3,324 if working at an evaporation temperature of -10 oC. Based on the size of the COP, if this installation works with a compression power of 1 PK, then the cooling capacity of the R-22 and R-290 is higher than the R-32 and R-410a, which are 3,617 respectively. kW; 3,597 kW; 3,449 kW and 3,243 kW. If working at an evaporation temperature of 0 oC; 3.133 kW; 3.114 kW; 2,986 kW and 2,804 kW if working at an evaporation temperature of -5 oC; and 2,741 kW; 2,710 kW; 2,611 kW and 2,445 kW if working at an evaporation temperature of -10oC.
