The purpose of this research is to know the improvement of car air conditioner system performance using an ejector. The study was conducted on a car engine with power 100 PS (74 kW) @ 5000 rpm. The test procedure is carried out under two conditions: the normal refrigeration cycle mode and the refrigeration cycle mode with the ejector. The working fluid used in the refrigeration cycle is R-134a. Performance data was measured on engine revolutions ranging from 1500 - 3000 rpm. Finally, the results showed that ejector usage on AC system generates an increase in the refrigeration effect and coefficient of performance (COP) of 25% and 22%, respectively. This has implications to better cooling capacity and compressor work that is lighter.

The reduction in chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) production and the scheduled phase-out of these ozone-depleting refrigerants require the development and determination of environmentally safe refrigerants for use in heat pumps, water chillers, air conditioners, and refrigerators. This paper presents a performance evaluation of a generic heat pump with two azeotropic refrigerant mixtures of HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) with R-290 (propane) and R-600a (isobutane); R-290/134a (45/55 by mass percentage) and R-134a/600a (80/20 by mass percentage). The performance characteristics of the azeotropes were compared with pure CFC-12, HFC-134a, HCFC-22, and R-290 at the high temperature cooling and heating conditions including those using liquid-line/suction-line heat exchange. The coefficient of performance of R-290/134a is lower than that of HCFC-22 and R-290, and R-134a/600a shows higher coefficient of performance than CFC-12 and HFC-134a. The capacity for R-290/134a is higher than that for HCFC-22 and R-290, and R-134a/600a exhibits higher system capacity than CFC-12 and HFC-134a. Experimental results show that the discharge temperatures of the studied azeotropic mixtures are lower than those of the pure refrigerants, CFC-12 and HCFC-22.

The rising need for thermal comfort has resulted in a rapid increase in refrigeration systems’ usage and, subsequently, the need for electricity for air-conditioning systems. The ejector system can be driven by a free or affordable low-temperature heat source such as waste heat as the primary source of energy instead of electricity. Heat-driven ejector refrigeration systems become a promising solution for reducing energy consumption to conventional compressor-based refrigeration technologies. An air-conditioning system that uses the ejector achieves better performance in terms of energy-saving. This paper presents a study on the combined driven refrigeration cycle based on ejectors to maximize cycle performance. The experimental setup is designed to determine the coefficient of performance (COP) with ejector nozzle sizes 1.8, 3.6, and 5.4[Formula: see text]mm, respectively. In this system, the R-134a refrigerant is considered as a working fluid. The results depict that the efficiency is higher than that of the conventional refrigeration method due to comparing the performance of the conventional refrigeration cycle and the combined driven refrigeration cycle. The modified cycle efficiency is better than the vapor compression cycle below 0∘C, which implies sustainability at low temperatures by using low-grade thermal energy. For the improvement of mechanical efficiency, proposed cycle can be easily used.

AbstractChlorofluorocarbons and hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are replaced by hydroflourocarbons (HFCs) which is not harmful to the ozone layer. However, few of HFCs have a relatively high global warming potential (GWP) and are subject to further examination due to growing concerns about global climate change. The goal now is to find the next generation of environmentally sustainable work fluids with an insignificant direct environmental impact in terms of ozone depletion and global warming potential. This document introduces the mixture of low-GWP refrigerants like R440A, R430A, R1234ze (E)/152a (50:50 by mass), R290/600a (40/60), R290/600(60/40), R290/600(50/50), ARM 42,ARM 42a and AC5 are used to replace R-134a in a domestic refrigeration system without doing any modifications to the system. The performance of the refrigerator was observed in terms of volumetric cooling capacity, blower discharge temperature, and coefficient of performance, refrigeration effect and energy consumption of a blower.

In this study, the ideal adsorption cycle behavior of eight activated carbon and refrigerant pairs is evaluated. The selected pairs are KOH6-PR/ethanol, WPT-AC/ethanol, Maxsorb-III/methanol, Maxsorb-III/CO2, Maxsorb-III/n-butane, Maxsorb-III/R-134a, SAC-2/R32 and Maxsorb-III/R507a. The following cooling performance parameters are evaluated for all pairs: specific cooling energy (SCE), concentration difference (ΔW) and coefficient of performance (COP) of ideal adsorption cooling and refrigeration cycles. The evaporator temperatures for the applications of adsorption cooling and refrigeration are selected as 7 and −5 °C, respectively. It is found that the Maxsorb-III/methanol pair has shown the highest specific cooling energy and coefficient of performance in a wide range of desorption temperatures; i.e., for the adsorption cooling cycle it has SCE and COP of 639.83 kJ/kg and 0.803, respectively, with desorption temperatures of 80 °C. The KOH6-PR/ethanol and the WPT-AC/ethanol pairs also give good performances comparable to that of the Maxsorb-III/methanol pair. However, the SAC-2/R32 pair possesses a higher concentration difference than the Maxsorb-III/methanol, KOH6-PR/ethanol and WPT-AC/ethanol pairs but shows a lower performance. This is due to the lower isosteric heat of adsorption of SAC-2/R32 compared to these pairs. It is found that Maxsorb-III/methanol, KOH6-PR/ethanol and WPT-AC/ethanol are the most promising pairs for application in designing adsorption cooling and refrigeration systems.

The use of synthesized refrigerants has several environmental concerns. The most widely used substances like hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) have either high global warming potential (GWP), high ozone depletion potential (ODP) or long atmospheric life time. With the growing demand of healthier atmosphere, the study of other alternative substances is very important. This paper presents theoretical thermodynamic performance analysis of hydrocarbon based domestic vapour compression refrigeration system. Propane (R-290), isobutane (R-600a) and butane (R-600) were used. Then, the results were compared with the performance of currently most commonly used tetrafluoroethane (R-134a). These hydrocarbons have zero ODP and very negligible GWP. Different parameters, like coefficient of performance (COP), refrigeration effect, compressor work input and compressor discharge temperature were investigated. Evaporator and condenser temperatures, subcooling, superheating and compressor isentropic efficiency were the variables used for this study. MATLAB software has been used in the mathematical analysis. COP values were found comparable to that of R134a. All the hydrocarbons investigated gave beyond 150% refrigeration effect compared to R-134a for the same mass flow rate. But this was at the expense of higher compressor work input. This research also revealed that the compressor discharge temperature is much lower for R-600a and R-600. Generally, these hydrocarbons showed that they are a good alternative to R134a based on the thermodynamic point of view.

Vapour compression cycles are commonly used in household refrigerators and also in many commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. R-134a is a working fluid widespread in this kind of systems. A chlorine free refrigerant such as R-134a has a disadvantage in the sense of its relatively high Global Warming Potential (GWP), although the specific Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) is null. International concern over the relatively high global warming potential of R-134a, and other refrigerants belonging to the same family, will lead in the near future to the stop of their production and use. For this reason, the interest in finding of an environmental more benign substitute for this refrigerant is growing. In the meantime, the alternatives for R-134a should be as thermodynamically attractive as this chemical. In this study it is theoretically assessed the opportunity of using R-600a (isobutane) in the future environment friendly vapour compression refrigeration systems. Choosing of isobutane is explained by the fact that it is a naturally occurring refrigerant. During the thermodynamic analysis, R-134a and R-600a are evaluated for a range of evaporating temperatures starting with 25°C and finishing with 0°C. There are considered three levels of the condensing temperature: 30°C, 40°C, 50°C. For these two refrigerants are compared results regarding saturated vapour pressure, Coefficient of Performance, volumetric cooling capacity, compressor discharge temperature, refrigerant mass flow rate. Also, in the scope of future improvement of systems adopting R-600a as a refrigerant, it is performed an exergy analysis, which is able to reveal the hierarchy of inefficiencies in the system. The results obtained indicate that adopting of R-600a instead of R-134a in vapour compression refrigeration systems is a decision motivated not only by environment reasons, but also by thermodynamic arguments. Values for the Coefficient of Performance when using R-600a are slightly lower than when in use is R-134a, but isobutane offers better environmental requirements like zero Ozone Depletion Potential and very low Global Warming Potential. Exergy analysis developed for R-600a as a working fluid revealed that the most inefficient is the compressor. Better exergy efficiency can be obtained for higher values of the evaporating temperature.
