Performance Investigation of Eco‐Friendly Refrigerant Mixtures as an Alternative to R134a in Vapour‐Compression Refrigeration System

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing impacts of climate change and energy scarcity demand environmentally sustainable refrigeration solutions. This study investigates eco‐friendly refrigerants (R152a, R290 and R600a) and their optimized ternary mixture as alternatives to R134a. Four blend compositions were analysed using experimental testing and REFPROP 10.0 modelling

Exploratory Study on Carbon Dioxide Blends With Low‐GWP Working Fluids for Medium and High‐Temperature Heat Pumps Under Step Pressure

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates binary zeotropic mixtures of R744 (CO₂) blended with eco‐friendly refrigerants for medium‐high temperature heat pumps, comparing them with conventional R744/R134a systems. All mixtures meet 60–80 K temperature lift requirements under low‐temperature conditions. A genetic algorithm optimized system parameters using fixed

Flow visualization of R1234ze(E) in a 0.643 mm microchannel tube

open access: yesInternational Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2019
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

Energy and Exergy Efficiency Analysis of an Ejector‐Expansion Refrigeration Cycle Using the Working Fluid R134a and Its Potential Substitutes

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 2389-2400, May 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes an ejector‐expansion refrigeration cycle (EERC) with two evaporating temperatures to recover partial expansion work and greatly reduces the throttling loss of the other expansion valve connected to the evaporator compared with the conventional bievaporator refrigeration cycle (CBEC).

Effect of Condenser Fouling on Performance of Vapor Compression Refrigeration System

open access: yesJournal of Thermodynamics, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Effect of condenser fouling is evaluated on the performance of a vapour compression system with refrigerants HFO1234yf and HFO1234ze as an alternative to HFC134a. The condenser coolant temperature has been varied between 35 and 40°C to evaluate the effect of fouling at different condenser temperatures.
