Presently out of the total energy consumption, a large share of energy is being used by
refrigeration and air conditioning equipments. The present study is based on literature …

This paper presents a detailed exergy analysis of an actual vapour compression
refrigeration (VCR) cycle. A computational model has been developed for computing …

This paper deals with an exergy analysis of the impact of direct replacement (retrofit) of R12
with the zeotropic mixture R413A on the performance of a domestic vapour-compression …

An experimental study on the replacement of R12 in domestic refrigerators by new
hydrocarbon/hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant mixtures has been carried out. Parameters and …

Conversion of CFC12 systems to eco-friendly ones will be a major thrust area for
refrigeration sector in the near future. As and when an existing CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) …

The environmental concerns with the impact of refrigerant emissions lead to the importance
in identifying a long-term alternative to meet all requirements in respect of system …

Ternary near-azeotropic mixture of HFC-161 as an alternative refrigerant to R502 is firstly
presented in this paper. The physical characteristics of this new refrigerant are similar to …

Hydrofluorocarbons are now well established as refrigerants because of their zero ozone
depletion potential. Since they have a high global warming potential, other alternatives as …

In order to decrease global pollution due to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the usage of HFC‐
and HC‐based refrigerants and their mixtures are considered instead of CFCs (R12, R22 …

The aim of this study is to make a contribution towards the efforts of reducing the use of
CFCs by finding a drop-in replacement for pure refrigerants used in domestic and industrial …
