They absorb heat fromone area, such as an
2、 air-conditioned space, and reject it into another,such as outdoors, usually through evaporation and condensation,respectively. These phase changes occur both in absorption andmechanical vapor compression systems, but not in systems operatingon a gas cycle using a fluid such as air. (See Chapter 2 f
3、or more infor-mation on refrigeration cycles.) The design of the refrigeration equip-ment depends strongly on the selected refrigerants properties. Tables1 and 2 list standard refrigerant designations, some properties, andsafety classifications from ASHRAE Standard 34.Refrigerant selection involves
4、compromises between conflictingdesirable thermophysical properties. A refrigerant must satisfy manyrequirements, some of which do not directly relate to its ability totransfer heat. Chemical stability under conditions of use is an essentialcharacteristic. Safety codes may require a nonflammable refr
5、igerantof low toxicity for some applications. Environmental consequences ofrefrigerant leaks must also be considered. Cost, availability, effi-ciency, compatibility with compressor lubricants and equipmentmaterials, and local and national regulations are other concerns.Latent heat of vaporization is
6、 another important property. On amolar basis, fluids with similar boiling points have almost the samelatent heat. Because compressor displacement is defined on a volu-metric basis, refrigerants with similar boiling points produce similarrefrigeration effect with a given compressor. On a mass basis,
7、latentheat varies widely among fluids. Efficiency of a theoretical vaporcompression cycle is maximized by fluids with low vapor heatcapacity. This property is associated with fluids having a simplemolecular structure and low molecular mass.Transport properties (e.g., thermal conductivity and viscosi
8、ty)affect performance of heat exchangers and piping. High thermalconductivity and low viscosity are desirable.No single fluid satisfies all the attributes desired of a refrigerant;consequently, various refrigerants are used.

REFRIGERANT PROPERTIESGlobal Environmental PropertiesChlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons(HCFCs) can affect both stratospheric ozone and climate change,whereas hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) can affect climate change.Minimizing all refrige
10、rant releases from systems is important notonly because of environmental impacts, but also because chargelosses lead to insufficient system charge levels, which in turn resultin suboptimal operation and lowered efficiency.Stratospheric Ozone Depletion. The stratospheric ozone layerfilters out the UV
11、-B portion of the suns ultraviolet (UV) radiation.Overexposure to this radiation increases the risk of skin cancer,cataracts, and impaired immune systems. It also can damage sensi-tive crops, reduce crop yields, and stress marine phytoplankton (andthus human food supplies from the oceans). In additi
12、on, exposure toUV radiation degrades plastics and wood.Stratospheric ozone depletion has been linked to the presence ofchlorine and bromine in the stratosphere. Chemicals with long atmo-spheric lifetimes can migrate to the stratosphere, where the mole-cules break down from interaction with ultraviol
13、et light or throughchemical reaction. Chemicals such as CFCs and HCFCs releasechlorine, which reacts with stratospheric ozone.Ozone-depleting substances, including CFCs and HCFCs, are tobe phased out of production under the Montreal Protocol (UNEP2009). In the United States, production and importati
14、on of CFCswere banned completely in 1996. HCFCs are being phased down,with complete phaseout set for 2030. In 2010, to meet the MontrealProtocol phasedown schedule, U.S. regulations banned productionand importation of HCFC-142b and HCFC-22 for use in new equip-ment. Reclaimed CFC and HCFC refrigeran
15、ts that meet the require-ments of AHRI Standard 700 can continue to be used for servicingexisting systems. A complete list of U.S. regulations for CFC andHCFC refrigerants, including phaseout schedules, may be found atwww.epa.gov/ozone-layer-protection. A summary of the phaseoutschedules for CFCs an
16、d HCFCs for both developed and developingcountries may be found at www.unep.org/ozonaction/topics/hcfc.asp.Global Climate Change. The average global temperature isdetermined by the balance of energy from the sun heating the earthand its atmosphere and of energy radiated from the earth and theatmosph
17、ere to space. Greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as CO2andwater vapor, as well as small particles trap heat at and near the sur-face, maintaining the average temperature of the Earths surfaceabout 34 K warmer than would be the case if these gases and parti-cles were not present (the greenhouse effect).Gl
18、obal warming (also called global climate change) is a concernbecause of an increase in the greenhouse effect from increasing con-centrations of GHGs attributed to human activities. The major GHGof concern is CO2released to the atmosphere when fossil fuels (coal,oil, and natural gas) are burned for e
19、nergy. Methane (CH4), nitrousoxide (N2O), CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, hydrofluoroethers (HFEs), hy-drofluoro-olefins (HFOs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), nitrogen trifluo-ride (NF3), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) are also GHGs.In 1988, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)and the World Meteorological O

According tothe IPC

Concentration of methane has increased by over 150%, andof nitrous oxide by about 20%. IPCC (2014) deems
