Abstract

The capillary tube is an important control device used in small vapor compression refrigeration systems such as window air-conditioners, household refrigerators and freezers. This paper develops a non-dimensional correlation based on the test results of the adiabatic capillary tube for the mass flow rate through the tube using a hydrocarbon refrigerant mixture of 89.3% propane and 10.7% butane (HCM). The Taguchi method, a statistical experimental design approach, was employed. This approach explores the economic benefit that lies in studies of this nature, where only a small number of experiments are required and yet valid results are obtained. Considering the effects of the capillary tube geometry and the inlet condition of the tube, dimensionless parameters were chosen. The new correlation was also based on the Buckingham Pi theorem. This correlation predicts 86.67% of the present experimental data within a relative deviation of -10% to +10%. The predictions by this correlation were also compared with results in published literature.

Abstract

Solar radiation enters the building through the glass by both radiation and conduction. The heat passing through the glass is one of the largest cooling loads. Therefore, modifying the glass type, will potentially reduce the cooling load significantly. This numerical study uses Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD) method to calculate the change in cooling load in a five-story hospital. The Glass material was changed from clear glass to coated glass. Based on the calculation of cooling load per hour, from 07.00 to 19.00, it is obtained that the peak load occurs at 17.00, both when using clear glass clear and coated glass. The replacement of clear glass with coated glass results in a 70.0% decrease in radiation cooling load, from 104.59 kW to 31.38 kW. In addition, replacing this type of glass will reduce the total cooling load by 17.0%, from 418.80 kW to 347.57 kW. The decrease in total cooling load will lead to a decrease in the operational cost of the air conditioning system. If it is assumed that the AC system operates at 75% peak load for 16 hours per day, then replacing the glass will reduce electricity costs by approximately Rp. 43.6 million/month.

Abstract

Although R134a has a very high global warming (GWP) effect, it is still used as a refrigerant in chest freezers. As an alternative to R134a is R290 which has a very low GWP value, which is only 3. Therefore, it is expected that there will be no more chest freezers using R134a and replaced with R290, soon. Thermodynamic studies need to be conducted to see the advantages and disadvantages of the two refrigerants based on experimental data. In this study, a chest freezer which was originally manufactured for R134a with a charging mass of 150 g was used as a test object. Experimental data of the chest freezer using R290 was taken after testing with R134a was completed. Experimentally, the cabin temperatures of the chest freezer using R134a and R290 are -20.5oC and -35.7oC, respectively, and the input power are 264 W and 176 W, respectively. Total irreversibility on the four main components of the chest freezer using R134a is greater than using R290, namely 184.4 W and 107.0 W, respectively. This means that the use of R290 as a working fluid in the chest freezer is more efficient. There are at least three advantages of replacing R134a with R290, namely reducing greenhouse gas emissions because R290's GWP is much smaller than R134a, lower cabin temperature, and decreasing the input power of the chest freezer.

Abstract

The refrigeration sector significantly contributes to global warming due to the high Global Warming Potential (GWP) of commonly used refrigerants. This study experimentally investigates the feasibility of using R290 as a low-GWP substitute for R404A in freezer applications. Although R290 and R404A have similar normal boiling points, their GWP values differ significantly (3 for R290 vs. 3922 for R404A), making R290 a more environmentally friendly alternative. Experiments were conducted on a freezer originally designed for R404A with a 1/3 HP compressor and a refrigerant charge of 170 g. After baseline testing with R404A, the system was retrofitted with R290, using an optimized charge of 62.9 g. The system's performance was analyzed over 120 minutes, with energy and exergy evaluations conducted at 60 minutes, when the cabin temperature stabilized. Results from energy analysis indicate that replacing R404A with R290 led to a 6.1% increase in cooling capacity, a 6.0% reduction in power consumption, and a 12.4% improvement in COP. Exergy analysis showed that total irreversibility decreased from 318.1 W (R404A) to 289.8 W (R290), with compressor irreversibility being the dominant factor (50.8% for R404A vs. 51.3% for R290). The findings confirm that R290 enhances system performance by reducing irreversibility and energy consumption. These results highlight R290 as an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to R404A, providing both operational cost savings and reduced environmental impact. However, to achieve optimal performance, compressor lubricant replacement is recommended when transitioning to R290.
