The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of low global warming potential refrigerants on the optimum intermediate pressure (POPT,int) and performance (COP) values of a refrigeration system with flash intercooling. For realize, the optimum operating parameters of system were determined in low temperature applications through a theoretical analysis according to the different refrigerants (R290, R404A, R407C, R507A, and R22). The theoretical modelling of system is done by optimizing the intermediate pressure at given evaporation (TE) and condensation (TC) temperatures for selected refrigerants. After optimization, the maximized values of COP and Second law efficiency are computed from the predicted values of POPT,int . The linear regression method is then used to derive three correlations of POPT,int , maximum values of COP and Second law efficiency according to TE and TC. Hence, the POPT,int values maximizing the system performance are found from various TE and TC values for each refrigerant. Due to calculations, increasing TE and TC cause the increase in POPT,int in low temperature applications. The R507A system has the highest POPT,int values and R22 system has the lowest POPT?int values. Although R22 system has slightly more efficient than R290 system, it is being phased out world?wide because of the risk of ozone depletion potential and global warming potential considerations. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the R22 replacement options. The R290 was discovered to have better performance than the R404A, R407C and R507A systems in terms of COPmax (1.81), global warming potential (11), and ozone depletion potential (0) when TE and TC are -35?C and 40?C.

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.

Study on environment friendly mixed refrigerant to replace R134a in vapour compression refrigeration (VCR) System. The mixed refrigerants investigated are propane (R290), butane (R600), isobutene (R600a) and R134a. Even though the ozone depletion potentials of R134a relative to CFC-11 are very low; the global warming potentials are extremely high and also expensive. For this reason, the production and use of R134a will be terminated in the near future. Hydrocarbons are free from ozone depletion potential and have negligible global warming potential. The results showed that, mixed refrigerant with charge of 80 g satisfy the required freezer air temperature when R134a with a charge of 110 g is used as refrigerant. The actual COP of refrigerator using mixed refrigerant was almost nearer that of the system using R134a as refrigerant. The coefficient of performance of the vapour compression refrigeration system using mixed refrigerant MR-3 [R134a/R290/ R600a/ R600 (20/35/40/5)] is having very close value with R134a and the Global warming potential of MR-3 is negligible when compared with R134a. Hence the mixed refrigerant MR-3 is chosen as an environmental friendly alternate refrigerant to R134a. The exergy analysis of the vapour compression refrigeration system using R134a and all the above mixtures are investigated. The effect of evaporator temperature on exergy efficiency and exergy destruction ratio of the system are experimentally studied. The exergy defect in the compressor, condenser, expansion device and evaporator are also obtained. Key words: R134a, Mixed refrigerant, Chlorofluorocarbons, Propane, Butane, Isobutene, REFPROP, COP, ODP, GWP, Exergy, VCR System.

Difluoromethane (HFC32) is the perfect replacement of R410A due to its zero ozone depletion Potential and lower Global warming potential (GWP as 675) that is much less than R410A (2088) and Zero Ozone Depletion Potential. R32 refrigerant can achieve higher heat transfer coefficients with less quantity of refrigerant charge when compared to R410A. Fin and Tube heat exchangers (FTHE) are widely used in the refrigeration, air conditioning industries and in many other applications to exchange or transfer the heat from refrigerant or working fluid and to the sink. The aim of this paper is to calculate the Heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop and heat load of refrigerants in Air-cooled Fin and Tube heat exchanger. Here FTHE is used as a condenser in one TR residential air conditioning application and their comparison using R32 and R410A refrigerants. To study the behaviour of two refrigerants in liquid phase, two phase (liquid and vapor phase) and vapor phases inside the condenser. Here the airflow to the condenser is counter flow. Materials used were Aluminium for fins and copper for tubes to achieve greater heat transfer coefficient. Here fin and tube material combination is very important because of their material properties. Optimizing the design of FTHE, i.e. selecting the micro finned tubes to generate turbulence in refrigerant flow, which results in enhancement of heat transfer coefficient. Slit type fin is selected for fins. The micro finned copper tubes with smaller inner diameter can save the material cost. Coil Designer a simulation software used for the design and analysis of FTHE
