Benefits of Energy Efficient and Low-Global Warming Potential Refrigerant Cooling Equipment

Technical Report Shah, Nihar ; Wei, Max ; Letschert, Virginie ; ...

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are the fastest growing type of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, increasing at an annual rate of 10-15% [1]. HFCs are primarily used as refrigerants in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment and have a global warming potential (GWP) many thousands of times greater than CO₂. Their rapid growth has led to a global agreement to aggressively phase down their production by amending the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer [2]. We quantify the GHG benefits implementing aggressive but economic energy efficiency measures (about 30% more efficient than current technology) in air-conditioning (AC) and large commercial refrigerationmore »« less

Performance Assessment of High-Efficiency Refrigerated Display Cases With Low Global Warming Potential Refrigerants

Conference Bulk, Alexander ; Faramarzi, Ramin ; Shoukas, Greg ; ...

As California policy makers enforce new regulations such as SB 1383 to achieve state greenhouse gas reduction goals, it will be critical to understand the energy efficiency implications of low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants in commercial refrigeration applications. The goal of this research project, funded by Commonwealth Edison, was to assess the energy performance of two high-efficiency medium-temperature, self-contained, reach-in display cases that utilized natural refrigerant propane (R-290, GWP = 3), and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) drop-in hydrofluoroolefin R-513A (GWP = 573). Performance of these display cases was compared to a baseline fixture using HFC (R-134A, GWP = 1301) under equalmore »« less

Refrigeration Playbook: Natural Refrigerants; Selecting and Designing Energy-Efficient Commercial Refrigeration Systems That Use Low Global Warming Potential Refrigerants

Technical Report Nelson, Caleb ; Reis, Chuck ; Nelson, Eric ; ...

This report provides guidance for selecting and designing energy efficient commercial refrigeration systems using low global warming potential refrigerants. Refrigeration systems are generally the largest energy end use in a supermarket type building, often accounting for more than half of a building's energy consumption.

Comparative Performance of Low Global Warming Potential (GWP) Refrigerants as Replacement for R-410A in a Regular 2-Speed Heat Pump for Sustainable Cooling

Journal Article Shen, Bo ; Ally, Moonis R. - Sustainability (Basel)

Heat pumps are currently being developed to reduce the energy footprint for residential and commercial building space conditioning and water heating loads in cold climates. To mitigate the nocuous impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment, and to create a carbon-neutral building stock, alternate lower-GWP refrigerants must also replace the predominant use of R-410A, without re-engineering the mechanical hardware. In this paper, we analyze the performance of lower-GWP alternative refrigerants (R-32, R-452B, R-454B, and R-466A) relative to the conventional R-410A and draw conclusions on the relative performances to meet cooling loads. The simulations are accomplished using the heat pumpmore »« less

Assessment of commercially available energy-efficient room air conditioners including models with low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants

Technical Report Shah, N. K. ; Park, W. Y. ; Gerke, B.

Improving the energy efficiency of room air conditioners (RACs) while transitioning to low global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants will be a critical step toward reducing the energy, peak load, and emissions impacts of RACs while keeping costs low. Previous research quantified the benefits of leapfrogging to high efficiency in tandem with the transition to low-GWP refrigerants for RACs (Shah et al., 2015) and identified opportunities for initial action to coordinate energy efficiency with refrigerant transition in economies constituting about 65% of the global RAC market (Shah et al., 2017). This report describes further research performed to identify the best-performing (i.e., most efficientmore »« less
