Abstract

Air conditioners (AC) are among the most widely used appliances in tropical countries such as Indonesia. However, high energy consumption and the use of refrigerants with high Global Warming Potential (GWP) pose major challenges to energy and environmental sustainability. This study aims to analyze and compare the thermodynamic performance of two types of refrigerants, namely R-32 and Breezon MC32 (R-1270), in a vapor-compression refrigeration system. Performance tests were conducted under varying ambient temperatures (28 °C, 31 °C, and 34 °C) and evaporator loads (19 °C, 22 °C, 25 °C, 28 °C). The main parameters analyzed include power consumption, compression work, mass flow rate, compressor power, heat rejection, refrigeration effect, cooling capacity, and Coefficient of Performance (COP). The results show that Breezon MC32 with a 90% charge mass achieves a higher COP and lower power consumption compared to R-32 with a 100% charge, particularly under high ambient temperature conditions. This demonstrates the potential of Breezon MC32 as a more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient alternative refrigerant. Keywords: cooling capacity, power consumption, COP, R-32, Breezon

Abstract

Magnesium AZ31B is a promising biodegradable implant material due to its mechanical properties comparable to natural bone and its ability to degrade in physiological environments, potentially eliminating the need for secondary surgery. However, its rapid degradation can cause a significant loss of mechanical integrity, limiting its use in load-bearing applications. This study investigates the evolution of mechanical properties and surface characteristics of AZ31B during in-vitro immersion in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). Tensile tests were conducted on triplicate specimens after immersion for 3, 6, and 9 days, while surface morphology and corrosion products were analyzed using SEM–EDX. In addition, pH variation and mass loss were monitored to evaluate corrosion behavior. The results show a progressive decrease in tensile strength from 279.77 ± 5.30 MPa (0 days) to 167.64 ± 2.31 MPa after 9 days of immersion, representing an overall reduction of approximately 40%. This degradation was accompanied by increased surface corrosion, mass loss, and solution alkalization. These findings provide quantitative insight into the relationship between corrosion progression and mechanical degradation of AZ31B, highlighting its time-dependent performance limitations and the need for surface modification strategies in biodegradable implant applications.
