  • In this study, 2 pure hydrocarbon refrigerants of R1270 (Propylene) and R290 (Propane) and 3 binary mixtures composed of R1270, R29O and R152a were tested in a refrigerating bench tester with a scroll compressor in an attempt to substitute R502 used in most of the low temperature applications. The test bench provided 3\sim3.5$ kW capacity and water and water/glycol mixture were employed as the secondary heat transfer fluids. All tests were conducted under the same external conditions resulting in the average saturation temperatures of -28 and $45^{\circ}C$ in the evaporator and condenser, respectively. Test results showed that all refrigerants tested had $9.6\sim18.7\%$ higher capacity and $17.1\sim27.3\%$ higher COP than R502. The compressor discharge temperature of R1270 was similar to that of R502 while those of all other refrigerants were $23.7\sim27.9\%$ lower than that of R502. For all alternative refrigerants, the amount of charge was reduced up to $60\%$ as compared to R502. Overall, these alternative refrigerants offer better system performance and reliability than R502 and can be used as long term substitutes for R502 due to their excellent environmental properties.

  • R502 has been extensively used as a working fluid in transport refrigerating vehicles and low temperature refrigerating machines but is to be phased out by the end of 1995 due to ozone layer depletion problem. In this study, both theoretical cycle analysis and experiments were carried out to examine the best substitutes for R502. Theoretical results indicate that the alternatives available in the market today may replace R502 without significant changes in the system without suction line heat exchanger(SLHX). When the system contains a SLHX, however, COPs of the alternatives increase up to approximately 15~20% than those without the SLHX. But simultaneously, the discharge temperatures of the compressor also increrease significantly with the SLHX. Actual test results obtained from the experiment with a transport vehicle's refrigerator indicate the similar trend as those of the theoretical results. Especially, HFCs and their mixtures show lower discharge temperature than those of R502, which is one of the desirable features. Further research is needed to study the effect of the SLHX on the performance of the real machine as well as on the oil return for reliability of the system.

  • This paper is concerned about the performance of alternative refrigerants of R-502 which has been widely used in transport and low temperature refrigeration. A breadboard heat pump was constructed with counterflow heat exchangers and tested with R-502 and transitional alternatives of R-402A and R-402B and long-term alternatives of R-404A and R-507 to compare the performance of each refrigerant. Measurements were conducted at two different condensing temperatures of $43.3^{\circ}C$ and $52.0^{\circ}C$ and the evaporating temperature was varied over a range from $-25^{\circ}C$ to $-5^{\circ}C$. The evaporator superheat and condenser subcooling were maintained constant at about $5^{\circ}C$ for all tests. Test results showed that all alternative fluids tested in this research work can be used as 'drop-in' fluids to replace R-502 without any major problem. It is also found that in the long run HFC alternatives are to be used due to their favorable environmental characteristics and better performance.

  • The experimental study and theoretical analysis are made in order to investigate a new refrigeration system, R-22 and R-502 or R-13 cascade compressor with panel type cooler, for tuna long liner. The experimental apparatus consists with the cascade unit, 1.5 HP R-502 compressor in the first stage and 1 HP R-22 compressor in the second stage, and 3 $m^2$ cold storage room with a direct expansion panel type cooler. The main result are as follows: 1. The energy saving and C.O.P. of the R-22 and R-502 or R-22 and R-13 cascade are improved much higher than two stage compressor. 2. For the point of simplicity of design, installation, and running cost, the panel type cooler is much better than traditional hair pin coil type cooler. 3. From the experimental data and analysis, the R-22 and R-502, or R-22 and R-13 cascade compressor with panel type cooler is recommended for a new refrigeration equipment of the tuna long liner.

  • This paper is about the performance of alternative refrigerants for low temperature and transport refrigeration chillers. A breadboard refrigeration chiller was constructed with counterflow heat exchangers. R502, its transitional alternatives of R402A and R402B, and long-term alternatives of R404A and R507 were tested in an attempt to compare the performance of each refrigerant against R502. Measurements were conducted at two condensing temperatures of 43.3$^{\circ}C$ and 52.$0^{\circ}C$ and the evaporating temperature was varied over a range from -$25^{\circ}C$ to -5$^{\circ}C$. The evaporator superheat and condenser subcooling were maintained constant at about 5$^{\circ}C$ for all tests. Test results showed that all alternative fluids tested in this work can be used as 'drop-in fluids' to replace R502 without any major problem. It is also found that in the long run HFC alternatives are to be used due to their favorable environmental characteristics and better performance.

  • 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.

  • With the phaseout of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, refrigeration and heat pump systems must be redesigned to match and improve system performance with alternative refrigerants. A generalized flow model for predicting mass flow rate through short tube orifices is derived from a power law form of dimensionless parameters generated by Pi-theorem. The database for developing the correlation includes extensive experimental data for R12, R22, R134a, R407C, R410A, and R502 from the open literature. The correlation yields an average deviation of $0.3\%$ and a standard deviation of $6.1\%$ based on the present database. In addition, rating charts for predicting refrigerant flow rate through short tube orifices are generated for R12, R22, R134a, R407C, R410A, and R502.

  • This paper presents the results of thermodynamic cycle analysis and performance tests of alternative mixtures in low temperature applications. Two near-azeotropic binary mixtures R-152a/R-1270 (35:65 by wt.%) and R-290/E170 (35:65 by wt.%) are considered in this study. They have zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and much lower GWP (Global Warming Potential) than R-404A which is an alternative of R-502. Refrigeration cycle characteristics such as cooling capacity, coefficient of performance, suction and discharge pressures and temperatures are compared to those for the baseline refrigerants (R-502 and R-404A) cycles. The performance tests are conducted at the evaporation and condensation temperatures of $5^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$, subcooling and superheating temperatures of $5^{\circ}C$, respectively. Performance comparisons between baseline and alternative refrigerants are conducted on the same cooling capacity. The system performance of newly proposed refrigerant mixtures show promising results.
