In this paper the irreversibilities and second law efficiency of an automobile air-conditioner with R22/R124/R152a refrigerant blend have been carried out. The engine is 1,300 c.c. capacity and operated at different compressor speeds between 13–55 rps. The irreversibility at each component of the air-conditioner increases with higher compressor speed. Significant irreversibilities have been found at the condenser and the compressor. In the case of the cycle second law efficiency, the unit with 30% mass fraction of R22 shows better performance than those with 20 and 40% mass fraction.

The refrigerant mixtures provide an important direction in selecting new environment-friendly alternative to match the desirable properties with the existing halogenated refrigerants or future use in the new devices, in which, HFCs refrigerants with zero ODP combined with HCs refrigerants with zero ODP and lower GWP are of important value in the fields of application. In the present work, research on HFC125/HC290 (25/75 by mass) binary refrigerant mixture used in heat pumps was carried out, and parameters, factors affecting the performance were investigated, and compared with that of HCFC22 under the same operating conditions. It has been found that the new mixture can improve the actual COP by 2 to 13% and hence it can reduce the energy consumption by 20 to 31.5%. The overall performance has proved that the new refrigerant mixture could be a promising substitute for HCFC22.

Experimental results from single-phase refrigerant mixture flow in smooth and micro-coil enhanced meso-channels are presented. R-407C — a mixture of R-32 (23%)/R-125 (25%)/R-134a (52%) — is used as the working fluid and different micro-coils are used in conjunction with two meso-channels (2.78mm and 3.97 mm) to obtain distinct roughness parameters. The flow was varied over a range of Reynolds numbers and experiments were conducted over a heat flux range of 2 to 11 kW/m2. The heat transfer coefficient was found to be dependent on both the heat flux as well as mass flux levels. Results show that heat transfer characteristics are comparable to R-113, and that micro-coil inserts enhanced the heat transfer performance compared to the performance in smooth meso-channels.
