R-410a and R-407c witch have the best potential among the substances being considered as R-22 alternatives were tested as "drop in" refrigerants against a set R-22 baseline tests for comparison. The performance evaluations were carried out in a psychrometric calorimeter test facility using the residential split-type air conditioner under the ARI rating conditions. Other than the use of different lubricant and a hand-operated expansion valve, one of the commercial systems was selected for the experiment. Performance characteristics were measured; compressor power, capacity, VCR, mass flow rate and COP. The tests showed that R-407c can be directly applied to the existing refrigeration system because of its similar vapor pressure and other thermopysical properties with those of R-22. However, it required change to the volume flow rate of compressor in order to achieve the similar performance with R-22 because of its relatively small VCR and capacity. Meanwhile, R-410a has too high a vapor pressure to be applied to the existing system and this feature results in relatively low COP of the system compared to that of R-22. But this could be improved by changing compressor design considering R-410a's relatively high VCR and capacity compared to those of R-22.

Thermodynamic properties of R-32 are calculated and its refrigeration performance is evaluated for the purpose the feasibility study of replacing R-22 with R-32. (1) Refrigeration effect of R-32 is superior to that of R-22 because heat of evaporation of R 32 is about 50% higher than that of R-22. However, COP of R-32 system is 10-30% lower than that of R-22 system. It is mainly attributed to the vapor pressore of R-32 being about 62% higher than R-22. (2) Since the pressure ratio and the specific heat ratio of R-32 system is higher than those of R -22, compressor discharging temperature rises as high as to $130-150^{\circ}C$. It may cause mechanical failure of compressor due to the breakdown of lubricant. Compressor should be improved to lower the temperature if R-32 is to replace R-22. (3) Averaged two-phase heat transfer coefficient of R-32 is about 10-20% higher than that of R-22. It may assume better heat exchanger effectiveness but not guarantee the better COP of R-32 system than R-22. (4) The high vapor pressure is the first reason to drop R-32 out of the line of R-22 alternative refrigerant. So, refrigerant mixtures based on R-32 are recommended to adjust the vapor pressure first and keep superior volumetric capacity of R-32.

본 논문은 가정용 냉방기에 널리 사용되고 있는 HCFC22를 대체할 수 있는 혼합냉매의 개발 및 이들의 성능 연구에 관한 것이다. 현재까지 HCFC22를 대체할 수 있는 순수냉매가 없으므로, 혼합냉매 개발에 본 연구의 초점이 맞추어졌고, 이를 위해 가정용 냉방기를 모사 하는 컴퓨터 프로그램이 개발되었다. 연구에서 개발된 혼합냉매를 구성하는 순수냉매들은 다음과 같다: R32, R124, R125, R134, R134a, R143a, R152a. 컴퓨터 모사 결과들은 다음의 혼합냉매들에 대해서 발표되었다: R32/R134a, R32/R152a, R32/R134, R32/R124, R143a/R134a, R143a/R152a, R143a/R124, R125/R134a, R125/R152a, R125/R124, R32/R152a/R134a, R32/R152a/R134, R32/R152a/R124. 가장 좋은 에너지 효율을 보인 것은 삼원 혼합냉매인 R32/R152a/R124로서, HCFC22에 비해 이것의 성적 계수는 13.7% 높고 냉동 능력은 23% 낮은 것으로 판명되었다. 한편 이원 혼합냉매 중 가장 성능이 좋은 것은 R32/R124로서 이것의 성적 계수는 HCFC22에 비해 13.4% 높고 냉동 체적 용량은 9.6% 낮은 것으로 판명되었다.
