Abstract
In this study, two different hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HFC) / Hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) binary blends (R134a/R1234yf (75/25) and R134a/R1234yf (25/75)) are studied experimentally. Energetic, exergetic and LCCP (life cycle climate performance) evaluations of the heat pump for HFC/HFO binary blends were carried out. In the literature, no studies are available on the use of HFC/HFO in heat pumps or cooling systems at these blend ratios. This study differs from previous studies on HFC/HFO binary mixtures. Therefore, it will contribute to the literature on binary HFC/HFO blends with lower global warming potential (GWP). HFC/HFO binary blends for different temperature of evaporator (-10 °C, -5 °C, 0 °C) and fixed temperature of condenser (35 °C) were studied. The performance of R134a/R1234yf (75/25) refrigerant blend is superior to R134a/R1234yf (25/75) refrigerant blend based on the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics. Although the GWP of R134a/R1234yf (75/25) is higher than that of R134a/R1234yf (25/75), R134a/R1234yf (75/25) has a relatively smaller total LCCP than R134a/R1234yf (25/75). Low GWP is not the only criterion for selecting a refrigerant. Energy and exergy are also important. Because an important part of the overall system emissions of the heat pump is seen to be caused by the consumption of energy.
