Performance and heat transfer characteristics of refrigeration system using R-502 alternatives

R-502의 대체냉매를 사용한 냉동시스템의 성능 및 열전달 특성

In order to replace CFC-502 which has been widely used in transportation and low temperature refrigeration system, performance tests using HFC-407A, HFC-404A and HFC-507 have been carried out. Measurements were conducted at two different condensing temperatures of $43.3^{\circ}C$and $54.5^{\circ}C$ for each refrigerant. System performance characteristics and heat transfer characteristics of each refrigerant were obtained at several compressor speeds and evaporating temperatures ranging from$-25^{\circ}C$ to $-10^{\circ}C$ Test results show that the use of tested alternative refrigerants without changing system components offers the potential performance improvement of a refrigeration system.
