Exergy analysis of refrigeration systems using an alternative refrigerant (hfo-1234yf) to R-134a

Dynamic simulation and exergy analysis of an Organic Rankine Cycle integrated with vapor compression refrigeration system

“…Compressor, evaporator, expansion valve, and condenser are in decreasing sequence of exergy destruction rate. In comparison to R-134a, Ozgur et al [18] employed R1234yf as an alternative refrigerant in the refrigeration system, and the results reveal a lower exergy destruction value. However, one of the main issues of R1234yf is its safety.…”

Vapor–Liquid Equilibria for the Binary and Ternary Systems of Difluoromethane (R32), 1,1-Difluoroethane (R152a), and 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf)

“…2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf, CH 2 CFCF 3 , ozone depletion potential (ODP) = 0, GWP 100 years = 4), with similar thermodynamic properties to R134a, − has been widely regarded as one of the most suitable commercial alternative refrigerants. Owing to its good performance, there are many researchers who focus their interests on it.…”

Exergy analysis of R1234yf and R1234ze as R134a replacements in a two evaporator vapour compression refrigeration system

“…They performed an exergy analysis and optimized the system by using R1234yf as refrigerant and using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES). A detailed examination of R1234yf by Ozgur et al (2012) showed that R1234yf is a good alternative to R134a according to energy and exergy analysis results. Similarly, other researchers draw our attention to the usage of R1234yf and R1234ze as R134a replacement in VCRS (Jarall, 2012;Esbri et al 2013;Lai, 2014;Molés et al, 2014;Babiloni et al, 2014, Jankovic et al, 2015, Zhao et al, 2015.…”
