AN EVALUATION OF TWO REFRIGERANT MIXTURES IN A BREADBOARD AIR CONDITIONER William Mulroy Michael Kauffeld Mark McLinden David Didion National Bureau of Standards Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 An experimental, water-to-water, breadboard heat pump, tha t is one which could easily be reconfigured, was constructed fo r comparison of pure R22 to the refrigerant mixtures R22/R11 4 ahd R13/Rl2. Three evaporator configurations were extensively studied. In all cases the best mixture outperformed R22. The best efficiency with R22/Rl14 was 32% higher and with R13/Rl2 was 16% high er than the best e~ficiency measured with R22. other obseryations were, first, that mixtures can take advantage of heat exch~nger efficiency that, ih a gliding temperature application; a pure refrige rant is incapable of utilizing. Secondly, that heat exchange betw een the condensed and evaporating refrigerant is beneficial to som e mixed refrigerants .. Finally, mixtures exhibit nonlinearity of e nthalpy versus temperature in the two phase region which has signi ficant impact on both heat exchanger and cycle design. EVALUAT~ON DE DEUX MELANGES DE FRIGORIGENES DANS UN CONDITlONNEUR D'AIR EXPERIMENTAL RESUME Une pompe a chaleur eau-eau, exper~mentale, c'e st-a-d~re une pompe dont on peut facilement modifier la configuratio n, a ete cbnstruite en vue de la comparaison du R22 pur aux melange s de R22-Ril4 et Rl3-Rl2. Tro~s configurations d'evaporateur ont ete etudiees de fa~on poussee. Dans tous les cas, le meilleur mel ange avait une meilleute performance que le R22, le meilleur rendemen t du melange de R22-Rll4 etait superieur de 32 % et celui du melange de Rl3-Rl2 superieur de 16 % au meilleur rendement mesure du R22. On a observe de plus, d'abord que les melanges pouvaient tirer un ben~f ice du rendement de l'echangeur de chaleur pur que, dans une appl ication de temperature glissante, un frigorigene pur est incapable d' utiliser ; ensuite que l'echange de chaleur entre l.e frigorigenes con dense et le frigorigene en evaporat~on etait favorable a certains mela nges de frigorigenes. Enfin que les melanges presentent une non-li nearite de l'enthalpie en fonction de la temperature dans la region d iphasique, ce qui a un impact net sur la conception de l'echangeur de chaleur et du cycle.

Seasonal Applicability of Refrigerant Release Technology in Room Air Conditioner

The refrigerant release technology relieves even eliminates the over-compression loss of scroll compressor by bypassing the refrigerant in the compression chamber to the suction pipe under small system pressure ratio conditions. Because the room air conditioner works in mild conditions at most of the time, its seasonal energy performance is expected to be effectively improved by the refrigerant...

Leakage of Mildly Flammable Refrigerants into a Room

The use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) has been widely restricted. They have been replaced with hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in order to protect the ozone layer. However, the leakage of refrigerant into the air from active or end-of-life air conditioners is a serious environmental issue owing to the high global warming potential (GWP) of HFCs. Therefore, replaci...
