Abstract

This paper discusses the different operating conditions of three refrigerants i.e. R22, R410A and R32. For analysis 1 Ton of window air conditioner has been chosen. Basically the operating cycle is a simple vapour compression refrigeration cycle with hermitically sealed compressor. The HFC groups of refrigerants do not have any Ozone Depletion Potential and refrigerants like R32 has the advantage of lower Global Warming Potential (GWP:675) with compare to R22 (GWP:1700) and R410A(GWP:2100) refrigerants. As per the indication of Montreal and Kyoto protocol, the world community has decided to phase down the HCFC group refrigerants. The refrigeration and air conditioning industry required to evaluate new alternative refrigerants to HCFC-22 also known as R22. The performance parameters like, pressure ratio, condensing temperature, discharge temperature of the compressor, power consumption and COP of the system were analyzed and compared.
