Flow visualization of R1234ze(E) in a 0.643 mm microchannel tube
Abstract This paper presents the discussion of regimes of two-phase flow of R1234ze(E) in a 24-port microchannel tube with average hydraulic diameter of 0.643 mm, obtained by visualization. The experiment is conducted in the same facility in the previous work for R32 (Li and Hrnjak, 2019). The conditions cover mass flux from 50 to 225 kg m−2 s−1. The

Experimental analysis of R-450A and R-513A as replacements of R-134a and R-507A in a medium temperature commercial refrigeration system [PDF]
This work presents the experimental evaluation of R-513A (GWP = 573) and R-450A (GWP = 547) as R-134a (GWP = 1301) drop-in replacements and as R-507A (GWP = 3987) retrofits in a commercial direct expansion refrigeration system for medium temperature ...

An enhanced tube which is optimized for pool boiling was examined with the refrigerants R134a, R1234ze(E), and propane. The measured heat transfer coefficient is compared to literature‐based correlations and also the transferability. For a better prediction of the shell‐side heat transfer coefficient a new correlation is proposed.

Performance of Heat Pump Air Conditioning with R1234ze (HFO) as a Refrigerant
The study shows that refrigerants R1234ze (E) and R1234ze (Z), known for their low global warming potential, are likely to become primary choices in heat pump air conditioning for residential and commercial use. The research evaluates the thermodynamic properties of R1234ze (Z) using experimental, thermodynamic, and numerical analyses.

Pool boiling of R515A, R1234ze(E), and R1233zd(E) on a reentrant cavity surface
Abstract This paper quantifies the pool boiling performance of R515A, R1234ze(E), and R1233zd(E) on a flattened, horizontal Turbo-ESP surface for air-conditioning. The measured boiling curve for R515A had roughly a 14 % larger heat flux than that of R1234ze(E) for heat fluxes greater than 45 kWm−2. For heat fluxes between 14 kWm−2 and 85 kWm−2, R515A

Experimental study of an R1234ze(E)/R134a mixture (R450A) as R134a replacement [PDF]
This work presents an experimental analysis of a non-flammable R1234ze(E)/R134a mixture (R450A) as R134a drop-in replacement. While R134a has a high GWP value (1430), the R450A GWP is only 547. The experimental tests are carried out in a vapour compression plant equipped with a variable-speed compressor.
