This paper presents thermodynamic cycle analysis of mobile air conditioning system using HFO1234yf as alternative replacement for HFC-134a. Under a wide range of working conditions (Varying Condensing temperature, Evaporating temperature, Sub cooling and sub heating with Internal heat exchanger (IHX) and without internal heat exchanger) on simple vapor compression system, we compare the energy performance of both refrigerants -R134a and HFO1234yf.Result shows that without using an Internal heat exchanger, At lower condensing temperature (35 o C), Mass flow rate increases about 27-32%, refrigerating effect decreases 22-25%, co mpressor work increases 4-6% and COP decreases about 3-5%.While at higher condensing temperature (55 o C), mass flow rate increases about 35-42%, refrigerating capacity decreases 27-30%, and compressor work increases 8-13% and COP decreases 7-10%.Using an internal heat exchanger (IHX), these differences in the energy performance are significantly reduced.At lower condensing temperature (35 o C), mass flow rate decreases about 18-22%, refrigerating capacity decreases 15-18%, compressor work increases 1-3% and COP decreases about 2-3% and At higher condensing temperature (55 o C), mass flow rate decreases 23-28%, refrigerating capacity decreases 18-22%, compressor work increases 5-8% and COP decreases about 4-7%.The energy performance parameters of HFO1234yf are close to those obtained with HFC-134a at Low condensing temperature and making use of an IHX. Even though the values of performance parameters for HFO1234yf are smaller than that of HFC-134a, but difference is small so it can be a good alternative to HFC-134a because of its environmental friendly properties with introducing IHX.
This paper presents the energetic and exergetic evaluation of double-stage/double-effect metal hydried heat pumps (MHHP) emloying three different alloys. The operating temperatures and pressures are chosen so that the MHHP operates in the double-effect mode, i.e delievers both heating and referigeration effects. Results are obtained for seven different cases in terms of coefficient of performance for cooling (COP), coefficient of performance for heating (COA) and exergy loss or entropy generation. The COP and COA for a realistic case is equal to 0.65 and 0.92 and exergy loss is equal to 44%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
