EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF VCR CYCLE BY USING VARYING REFRIGERANT AND CHARGING CONDITION

Abstract

This work aims for development of one of the eco-friendly vapour compression refrigeration system. The present vapour compression refrigeration system. Uses R-134a refrigerant, which has many adverse effects, which is minimized by use of other alternative refrigerant. This work consists of using eco-friendly hydrocarbon gas mixture as refrigerant, which does not deplete ozone layer and it can be used in the commonly used system without any significant change in the system. In this analysis, the performance of vapour compression refrigeration system is assessed experimentally with two different refrigerants. Various parameters are measured, like compressor discharge temperature and pressure. The results obtained are compared and the optimum performance in terms of higher refrigeration effect, Charging condition of refrigerant and COP are studied.
