18 18 Commercial Refrigeration

19 Centralized DX System Condenser Machine room Compressors Features Pros Cons Current Future - Compressor rack in machine room far from cases - Long connecting lines -Convenient installation in most buildings in common practice -Very familar to store owners and contractors - Larger refrigerant charge - Higher leak rates R22 R404A R407A R407F N40 19

20 Distributed DX System Condenser Condenser Condenser Features Pros Cons Current Future - Condenser in rooftop and compressor at store level closer to cases - Short connecting lines - Lower refrigerant charge (about 1/2 of centralized systems) - Lower leak rates since condensing units are factory assembled - potentially more efficient than centralized better match of suction groups, shorter lines - Not always feasible in some buidings R404A R407F R407A N40 20

21 Secondary Loop System Machine room Evap Condenser Compressors Heat transfer fluid CO2 or glycol Features Pros Cons Current Future - Secondary fluid (CO2 or glycol) distributed to the cases - Short connecting lines on the refrigerant side - Lower refrigerant charge (about 1/4 of centralized systems) - Very low leak rates - Refrigerant confined in machine room may allow mildly flammable options with very low GWP - Compressor can operate at lower pressures leading to higher energy consumption, also adds pumping power R404A R407F N40 L40 21

22 CO2 Cascade Systems with Secondary Loop CO2 Refrigerant Heat exchanger HFC refrigerant Condenser Machine room Evap Heat transfer fluid (CO2 or glycol) Features Pros Cons Current Future - Secondary fluid (glycol) for medium temp cases - DX CO2 for the low temp cases -Short connecting lines on the refrigerant side - Very low refrigerant charge - Very low leak rates - Refrigerant confined in machine room may allow mildly flammable options with very low GWP - Higher efficiency - Higher initial cost R404A R407F R134a N40 L40 N13 R1234ze 22

23 Lab Evaluations Low Temp -26 C Box 35 C Ambient Performance: N40 and R407F match capacity of R404A with 6% higher efficiency. Both have comparable performance to R22 and have 4% higher efficiency than R407A TXV Adjustment: R404A valve: N40 seems better, needed less adjustment than R407F and R407A R22 valve: N40 and R407F did not require adjustment Discharge Temperature R407F required liquid injection. Not required for N40. At AHRI calorimeter conditions (18 C RGT), R407F is 17 C above liquid injection temp while N40 and R407A are only 5 Key take away N40 allows compressor manufacturer to cover a wider envelope than R407F. Particularly important for retrofit of R404A stores not equipped with liquid injection 23

24 Lab Evaluations Medium Temp 2 C Box 35 C Ambient Performance: N40 and R407F about 3-5% higher efficiency than R404A, 4-6% better than R407A. Both about 3-5% lower efficiency than R22 (expected). TXV Adjustment: R404A valve: Both N40 and R407F required to close about 2 turns. R407A about 3 turns. R22 valve: N40 and R407F did not require adjustment. R407A may require slight adjustment. 24

25 L-40 Relative to R404A Laboratory Evaluations L40 (GWP=283, Mild Flammable) 110% Capacity Efficiency Mass Flow 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% Low Temperature Medium Temperature Designed to be used where mild flammability can be managed: As a chiller of a secondary fluid like CO2 Small to mid size refrigeration systems where new standards (IEC, ISO) will allow enough charge of a 2L Small Self-Contained Refrigeration Systems It Provides over 90% GWP reduction relative to R404A and better efficiency 25

26 Field Trials Centralized DX System With Cases And Food Simulators. Air- Cooled Condensers LT rack equipped with Scroll compressors: ZF25, ZF34, ZFD41 (Digital) MT rack equipped with scroll compressors: ZB95, ZBD76 (Digital) 26

27 Environmental impact of different technologies Assumptions Area of ft 2 (4181 m2) Load distribution of 36% LT and 64% MT Charge of 3200lb (1455 kg) of R404A 15% annual leak rate (DX Systems) The use of N-40 (and even R407F) allows considerable reduction of environmental impact when retrofitting existing systems (~50%). Among current DX technologies, distributed systems using N-40 produce environmental impact similar to more sophisticated technologies (cascade and pumped CO2). 27

28 Summary & Conclusions HFO s and HFO blends should be considered as part of the solution to transition away from High GWP refrigerants. There is no single refrigerant solution, application and selection criteria/market will determine final application of available solutions. Energy efficiency will always be a major factor in determining equipment/refrigerant design choice. System and refrigerant comparisons should be done scientifically using proper experimental protocols. True environmental performance should be considered when making refrigerant/system choices. 28

31 Degree of Superheat Pressure-Temperature Chart R22 AZ-20 (410A) 404A Performax LT (407F) Temp. Pressure Bubble Dew Bubble Dew Bubble Dew Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure ( F) [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] The refrigerant is in superheated vapor state at the end of the evaporator. To determine superheat, use nearest saturated state (dew point) in your P-T chart Procedure: Use gauges to determine the pressure at the coil outlet, and a thermometer to get the actual temperature at the same point. Get the Dew temperature from the Dew column Superheat = Actual Temperature Dew Temperature Example: Find the superheat on a system which uses Performax LT (407F) when the pressure at the evaporator outlet reads 24 psig and your surface thermometer reads 10 F psig yields ~ 0 F (using dew point) Degree of Superheat = 10 F (0 F) = 10 F 31

32 Degree of Subcooling Pressure-Temperature Chart R22 AZ-20 (410A) 404A Performax LT (407F) Temp. Pressure Bubble Dew Bubble Dew Bubble Dew Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure ( F) [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] The refrigerant will be in liquid state at the end of the condenser. To determine subcooling, use the nearest saturated state (Bubble point) in your P-T chart Procedure: Use gauges to determine the pressure at the coil outlet, and a thermometer to get the actual temperature at the same point. Use the Bubble column to get the bubble temperature Subcooling = Actual Temperature Bubble Temperature Example: Find the amount of subcooling on a system using Performax LT when the liquid line temperature reads 80 F and the liquid line pressure is 215 psig. 215 psig yields ~ 90 F (using Bubble point) Degree of Subcooling = 90 F - 80 F = 10 F

33 Average condenser coil temperature Pressure-Temperature Chart R22 AZ-20 (410A) 404A Performax LT (407F) Temp. Pressure Bubble Dew Bubble Dew Bubble Dew Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure ( F) [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] The operating coil temperature for single component refrigerants is the corresponding temperature found in the P-T chart. For blends, however, proceed as follows: Using gauges, determine the pressure at the outlet of your condenser. Inlet pressure may also be used. Find the corresponding Bubble temperature using the Bubble column. Likewise, find the Dew temperature using the dew column. Average Coil Temp. = (Bubble Temp + Dew Temp)/2 Example: Find the average condensing temperature of a system using R407F when the gauge pressure at the condenser outlet reads 215 psig. Find ~215psig in Bubble column: 90 F Find ~215psig in Dew column: 98 F The average coil temp = (90+98)/2 = 94 F 33

34 Average evaporator coil temperature Pressure-Temperature Chart R22 AZ-20 (410A) 404A Performax LT (407F) Temp. Pressure Bubble Dew Bubble Dew Bubble Dew Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure ( F) [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] [psig] Similarly to the condenser coil: Using gauges, determine the pressure at the outlet of your evaporator Find the corresponding Bubble temperature using the Bubble column. Likewise, find the Dew temperature using the dew column. Evaporating Temp. = (Bubble Temp + Dew Temp)/2 Example: Find the average evaporator temperature of a system using R407F as the refrigerant when the gauge pressure at the evaporator outlet reads 10 psig. Find ~10psig in Bubble column: -30 F Find ~10psig in Dew column: -20 F The average coil temp = (-30+(-20))/2 = -25 F A more accurate estimate would account for inlet quality. So instead of average, multiply bubble by 0.35, dew by 0.65 and sum: Find ~10psig in Bubble column: -30 F Find ~10psig in Dew column: -20 F The average coil temp = 0.35*(-30) *(-20)= F 34

35 Temperature TD avg TD dew Condenser Sizing Condenser sizing is typically carried out using TD based on dew point temperature. For a blend, however, design TD should be based on the average coil temperature. (bubble and dew points) Simulation Design Tool Results: TD dew TD avg Condenser Area [ F] [ F] [%] Baseline R404A % R407F drop-in % R407F matching TD dew % Same size condenser! A R407F condenser sized to match the TD-dew of R404A may result in a 20% larger HX R40 4A Outdoo r air Larger condenser! Distance along condenser Experimental Results with R407F retrofit in a R404A 3-Ton walk-in freezer (0 F Box, 95 F Outdoor) TD dew TD avg Capacity [ F] [ F] [%] Baseline R404A % R407F retrofit % Actual data show no need to oversize condenser, since TD-avg is actually lower for R407F While sizing a condenser for a blend, design TD should be based on the average coil temperature (average of bubble and dew points) and not solely on dew point. 35
