Abstract:

The system design of window air conditioner does not evolve in one day. Due to the continous efforts are taken by the refrigeration and air conditionging professionals, successful and economic models of window air conditioners are currently used. This paper states about the development of window air conditioner with phase change material and water as refrigerants. Developed air conditioner was tested for its thermal performance achievement. Outcomes specify that thermal comfort acheivement was in satisfactory levels. Predicted mean vote and percentage of people dissatisfied values were calculated and the results were in the range of neutral to a slight cooling, according to Americal Society of Heating and Refrigeration and Air conditioning standard 55.

Assessment of Environmentally Friendly Refrigerants for Window Air Conditioners

This paper presents technical assessment of environmentally friendly refrigerants as alternatives to R410A for window air conditioners. The alternative refrigerants that are studied for its replacement include R32, R600a, R290, R1234yf, R1234ze and a mixture of R32 (90% molar concentration) and R125 (10% molar concentration). Baseline experiments were performed on a window unit charged with R41...

Evaluation of a Refrigerant R410A as Substitute for R22 in Window Air-conditioner

CFCs have been phased out, except for essential users, and HCFCs are to be eliminated by 2020, because of their ozone depletion potential. This generates a need for the investigation of zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) refrigerants or refrigerant blends. R410A is among newer brand of refrigerant blends, with zero ODP. The biggest difference to R22 is the pressure levels generated which are ...

Kicking the Air Conditioner Habit

Air conditioning has become an expected feature in new California homes, even those in cooler coastal locations. Because many Californians run their air conditioners for just a few days out of the year, air conditioners use only 10%–12% of the energy in homes, yet they are responsible for about 43% of the residential peak load. This load from hell has been the bane of California utilities, and ...

New Lube 0il for Stationary Air Conditioner

Replacing R-22 by HFC refrigerants in stationary air conditioners is forcing oil producers to develop a new lubricant which has good miscibility with HFC, lubricity and electric resistivity. Mitsui has selected a carbonate compound for a new lubricant candidate with HFC and developed it forcusing on its thermal stability, which is one of the most important factors to get good lubricity. By supp...
