This study presents heat pump system characteristics using hydrocarbon refrigerants as alternative refrigerant for R-22 with respect to the variation of indoor load. Pure R-22 and R-290. R-600a, R-1270 were considered as working fluids The experimental apparatus was constructed to investigate the performance of heat pump using the air as a heat source. The performance were calculated based on compression shaft work. refrigeration capacity. pressure ratio, discharge temperature and COP. The experimental results show that the COP and refrigeration capacity of hydrocarbon refrigerants were higher than that of R-22. Through the above. hydrocarbon refrigerants are good alternatives in the heat pump system for R-22.
