Abstract |
The objective of the research paper is to test the performance of the vapour compression system using liquid heat exchanger. The main purpose of our project is to increase the coefficient of performance (COP) of the system with reduction in global warming potential (GWP) and with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and minimum energy consumption using liquid heat exchanger. In our project we are using blend of two refrigerant i.e R600a and R290 in various proportion and the another refrigerant used is HFO-1234yf, with the help of liquid heat exchanger and in both the cases of refrigerant we calculated that the COP of the system had increased and global warming potential and energy consumption were reduced with zero ozone depletion potential as compared to the current used refrigerant R134a and existing vapour compression refrigeration system. As liquid heat exchanger involves cooling and heating process the load on compressor is reduced and more cooling effect with minimum energy consumption and less harm to environment. As compared to the current refrigerant R134a which global warming potential(GWP) i.e. 4 with zero ozone depletion potential(ODP). So by using HFO-1234yf and another blend of R134a and R290 we had increased the COP and reduced the GWP of the system and thus we have successfully fabricated and tested the vapour compression system using liquid heat exchanger. |
