This paper presents an experimental study of R152a and R32, environment-friendly
refrigerants with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and low global warming potential …

Amidst tightening requirements for eliminating CFC's, HCFC's, halons, and HFC's from use
in air conditioning and heat pumps, the search began for replacements that are …

This article evaluates the compressor performance using five eco-friendly refrigerants in
comparison to R12. Experimental apparatus of a complete refrigeration system with …

A study was conducted to assess refrigeration technologies which are alternatives to vapor-
compression for use in five application categories: domestic air conditioning, commercial air …

Experiments are conducted on a heat pump operating with HFC227, CFC114 and HFC134a
at different condensing and evaporating temperatures. The heating capacity and COP of the …

A number of partially fluorinated alkanes and ethers were identified from earlier technical
publications and from a joint Electric Power Research Institute/Environmental Protection …

This paper presents the validation of a design model for vapour compression refrigeration
systems developed by Akintunde (2004a). This model was used to design a vapour …

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are now widely used in refrigeration and air-conditioning
systems. These systems lose refrigerants through leaks and during servicing. This paper …

With the February, 1992 announcement by President Bush to move the deadline for
outlawing CFC (chloro-fluoro-carbon) refrigerants from the year 2000 to the year 1996, the …

Criteria are described for selection of ozone-safe, high-performance working fluids for low-
and high-temperature applications of heat pumps. Comparisons are made in terms of …
