Abstract:

To identify long term replacement for the existing refrigerant, system performance should not be compromised, refrigerant and lubrication interaction should be as required, it should be environment friendly, energy efficient etc. So there is need to find out a refrigerant which is environment friendly, such as hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems and which can be used long term substitute for existing refrigerants. The most important caveat for developing new refrigerants is its low ozone depleting potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP). Though HC refrigerants are highly flammable, they have several preferable features such as zero ozone depletion potential(ODP), very low global warming(GWP), non-toxicity and higher performance than other refrigerant types but also high miscibility with mineral oil and good accordance with the existing refrigerating systems. They are used in many applications with safety of the leakage from the system also with these refrigerants it was found that, there was no need to change in the design of the refrigeration system. So we can look forward to HC refrigerants as best substitute refrigerant.
