Binary or ternary blends of hydroflourocarbons (HFCs) and hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are recently emerging as possible substitutes for the high GWP (Global Warming Potential) fluids currently employed in refrigeration and air-conditioning industry. In the present paper, heat transfer coefficients of a ternary mixture of R1234yf, R32 and CO2, ASHRAE designation R455A, 75.5/21.5/3.0 by mass composition, have been measured during condensation inside a minichannel having a 0.96 mm internal diameter and in a conventional tube with 8.0 mm diameter. Tests have been performed at 40°C mean saturation temperature. The present experimental database is used to assess available predicting correlations for condensation of mixtures, providing information on the applicability of available models.

Abstract: | Binary or ternary blends of hydroflourocarbons (HFCs) and hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are recently emerging as possible substitutes for the high GWP (Global Warming Potential) fluids currently employed in refrigeration and air-conditioning industry. In the present paper, heat transfer coefficients of a ternary mixture of R1234yf, R32 and CO2, ASHRAE designation R455A, 75.5/21.5/3.0 by mass composition, have been measured during condensation inside a minichannel having a 0.96 mm internal diameter and in a conventional tube with 8.0 mm diameter.
