Bayesian optimization (BO) is a sample-efficient and gradient-free approach using a probabilistic surrogate model and optimal search over a feasible parameter space. Despite the benefits of BO in reducing computational costs, challenges remain in dealing with a high-dimensional calibration task resulting from a large set of parameters that have significant impacts on system behavior and need to be calibrated simultaneously.

R513A is recognized as a viable substitute for R134a, providing a lower global warming potential (GWP) while preserving similar thermodynamic properties. However, refrigerant leakage is one of the common faults in heat pump equipment. For industrial heat pumps, refrigerant leakage can make the system less stable and affect normal industrial production, while long-term leakage can also affect the carbon emissions of the industry. When substituting refrigerants, it is crucial to consider not only their distinct properties under typical operating conditions but also the stability and environmental impact of the alternative refrigerant in cases of leakage. This paper focuses on experimentally evaluating the impact of using R513A to replace R134a on the performance of refrigeration systems under the condition of rapid refrigerant leakage. Then the life cycle climate performance evaluation (LCCP) theory is used to assist experimental results in evaluating the carbon footprints of R513A and R134a systems at different annual leakage rates. The results show that R513A has better stability than R134a when responding to rapid refrigerant leakage. This paper determines the changes in annual electricity consumption and indirect emissions under several annual leakage rates and finds that the impact of leakage on indirect emissions is also not negligible.

Their applicability to new refrigerants, especially in expanded micro-fin tubes, is uncertain.

Coefficient adjustments are made to accurately represent the AMR pressure drop, considering particle nonuniformity and structural components, such as layer mesh dividers. This facilitates the pressure drop modeling and provides a means to check the AMR integrity on a routine basis, without requiring AMR disassembly. The thermal performance, evaluated in terms of the regenerator effectiveness, shows a satisfactory cooling potential for practical applications but emphasizes the need for flow control to prevent effectiveness imbalance between hot and cold flows, crucial for optimal operation. The cooling capacity and maximum temperature span are also evaluated, demonstrating that higher mass flow rates yield higher cooling capacities with lower temperature spans, while lower rates achieve higher spans. Varying the blow fraction shows that regenerators at 50% blow fraction achieve 10% higher cooling capacities than at 37.5%.
