Energy and Exergy Analysis of Vapor Compression Refrigeration System with Low-GWP Refrigerants

In this paper, a first- and second-law analysis of vapor compression refrigeration is presented to estimate propose the replacement R134 with working fluids having less global warming potential (GWP) exergy destruction irreversibilities. Six different refrigerants were studied, namely, R717, R1234yf, R290, R134a, R600a, R152a. A thermodynamic model was designed on Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, performance parameters calculated. The deployed all six refrigerants, while used output cooling capacity, coefficient performance, discharge temperature, total destruction, relative rates components, efficiency, efficiency defect each component. estimated at speeds compressor (1000, 2000, 3000 rpm) fixed condenser evaporator temperatures 50 °C 5 °C, respectively. isentropic same as volumetric it taken 75%, 65%, 55% 1000 rpm, 2000 comparison by importing results in MATLAB. It found that had highest compared other components. R152 refrigerant zero ozone depletion (ODP) GWP value 140 Moreover, easy use R152a good characteristics. suitable for can be few modifications.
