Ozone Depletion Effect• Protective ozone layer damaged by chlorine and bromine gases
Environmental Drivers Affecting Industry
• Protective ozone layer damaged by chlorine and bromine gases• Montreal protocol in September 16, 1987
– Bans CFCs– HCFC R22 elimination
Climate Change Effect• “Greenhouse Gases” contribute to global warming is theory• Kyoto protocol (1997) aims to curb all greenhouse gases• Most refrigerants in use today are classified as greenhouse gases

• Measure of estimated contribution to global warming
• Relative scale, compares gas tosame mass of carbon dioxide
Global Warming Potential (GWP)
same mass of carbon dioxide(whose GWP by convention is 1)
• GWP is calculated over a specifictime interval, typically 100 years
• Intergovernmental panel on climatechange (IPCC), a UN body, issuesreports that, among other things,update the GWP values forvarious global warming gases

A2L Rules Development: Key Points
– Proposal On Table To Increase Factor To 2.0X
• UL’s WG#1 Working On Updating UL 1995 And Actively Engaged With WG9 To Harmonize Standards
– Accept Increasing Max Charge Levels To 2.0X A2 Levels; Suggest A Value Of 3.0X For Discussion; Increase Max Surface Temperature To 700°C; Modify Standard To Include Ducted Systems
– US Delegation To Present Above Changes In March Meeting Of WG9 In Brussels
– Closet Install Of AC Systems (Near Water Heater) Will Need Additional Venting & Mitigation Steps; All Other Applications OK
– Passed Deadlines For 2015 IMC And UMC Adoption; Next Cycle Is 2018

Five Basic Steps In Performance Evaluation:
1 Compare Saturation Pressure Temperature (P T) Data
Performance Evaluation Steps
Search for Low GWP Refrigerants
1. Compare Saturation Pressure – Temperature (P‐T) Data
2. Perform Simple Thermodynamic Analysis
3. Perform Analysis (Performance/LCCP) Including System Effects
1. Pressure Drop
2. Heat Transfer
3. Discharge Temperature Effects (Additional Cooling)
4. High Condensing, Low Condensing Temperaturesg g, g p
5. Annual & Peak Power Consumption
4. Perform “Drop‐In” System Tests/LCCP Analysis
5. Perform “Optimized” System Tests/LCCP Analysis
Step 3, system evaluation, is key to proper refrigerant selection

• Cavallini et al Propose A “Penalty Factor” (PF) For Analytical Consideration Of System Effects
• PF = Pressure Drop Impact + Heat Transfer Impact
Pressure Drop and Heat Transfer EffectsOn Refrigerant Performance in a System
• Lower PF Is Better For System Performance
• PF Leads To “Two Temperature Penalty” (TTP) Term For Refrigerant Side
• TTP = Pr Drop Temperature Effect + Heat Transfer Temperature Effect
Condenser Example, TTP For:R32 = 1.37K; R410A = 1.83K; R134a = 3.19K

(Precondition for Calculation) Note: HX= Heat Exchanger*1 Taking low pressure loss into consideration, narrower heat exchanger was used to reduce charge volume.*2 To improve efficiency, HX size was increased : Indoor HX x 1,1 + Path x 2, Outdoor HX x 1.2, and connecting pipe increased
from 3/8=> 5/8*3 To meet IEC requirements, charge volume was reduced: Indoor HX x 0.8, Outdoor HX x 0.5, narrower piping was used.*4 To Improve efficiency: Outdoor unit HX was increased x 1.1
A big difference exists in the peak power under cooling condition. HFO and CO2 will cause peak power supply problems in large cities.
In terms of SEER, CO2 is the worst, and the rest of candidates are equivalent to R410A.

SolsticeTM 1234ze Chiller Installed in UK Supermarket
Waitrose installed a package chiller using HFO 1234ze in a South London Store.Chiller manufactured by Geoclima using Frascold compressors.
Initial comparisons to a same-size store in Canterbury running identical systems but running with R-290 (propane) as the refrigerant show a 20% reduction in energy consumption for the HFO machine.

• Many new lower GWP refrigerant candidates becoming available for air conditioning,heat pump and refrigeration applications
• Minimizing system’s life cycle impact on environment should be the goal innarrowing choice
Summary
– Reducing leaks & charge is of benefit today and in the future as refrigerant costs increase
– End of life refrigerant management is very important
– In selecting future refrigerants, system efficiency impacts energy and cost of operation; environment impact should be kept flat at a minimum
• Important for industry to stay engaged in:
– “Low GWP AREP”, the AHRI sponsored study that will help guide the selection process
– International & national working groups’ (eg., UL) development of A2L refrigerant use rules impacting new & existing equipment
– Government regulations that will affect systems architecture, refrigerant choice and life cycle cost
– Awareness of developments in china and rest of the world
