dc.description.abstractIn this study, commonly used hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-based refrigerants R404A and R410A, as well as hydrofluoroolefin (HFO)-based environmentally friendly next-generation refrigerant R1234yf with a low global warming potential (GWP), were analyzed in terms of energy, exergy, and life cycle climate performance (LCCP) in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. All three refrigerants were examined at four different evaporation temperatures (-30°C, -15°C, -5°C, 0°C) with a constant condenser temperature of 50°C using a simulation program. For different evaporation temperatures, the performance of the refrigerants was evaluated using the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and performance coefficients, exergy efficiency, and exergy destruction were calculated. Additionally, the amount of kgCO?e equivalent was calculated using the LCCP method. In the study, it was found that the compressor energy consumption of R410A and R1234yf refrigerants was similar and approximately 7% lower than that of the R404A refrigerant. The highest coefficient of performance (COP) value was determined for R1234yf. It was observed that R1234yf refrigerant had the highest exergy efficiency starting from -15°C. The kgCO?e equivalent emission values calculated using the LCCP method revealed that R404A had the highest CO? emissions, while R1234yf had the lowest. Furthermore, based on the simulation study and theoretical calculations, it was determined that R410A and R1234yf refrigerants could be considered as alternative choices to R404A refrigerants in systems where two refrigerants are used.en_US
