Abstract |
|
According to MONTREAL protocol the use of the refrigerant like CFCs and HFCs are phased out and due to recent KYOTO protocol the newly developed HFCs like R134a gradually phased out before 2040 due to its 1300 Global Warming Potential. These review papers describe the selection criteria and explore the most promising replacement for R134a in domestic refrigerator mainly based on Zero ODP and Lower GWP value refrigerant fluids. Here we have consider the refrigerant fluids like HCs (R290 Propane, R600 Butane, R600a iso butane) and their blends, HFCs (R152a, R32 and its blends) and some natural refrigerants (Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide) between these refrigerants we compare the different properties like thermo physical properties, safety features of above refrigerants fluids. This review paper is limited to the basic properties of the above refrigerants as a replacement of the domestic refrigerant R134a . |
