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

(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.

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
