| Summary: | In order to provide light on the relative efficiency of and suitability for different refrigeration technology applications, this study examines the performance of refrigeration cycles using refrigerants 404a and 410a. As part of the research technique, refrigeration systems are tested experimentally under controlled settings. Key performance indicators are then thoroughly analyzed and compared. Test rigs with compressors, condensers, expansion valves, and evaporators—common parts of the refrigeration cycle are used for experimental research. The test rig is outfitted with instruments that can measure critical parameters at various places in the system, such as pressure, temperature, and power consumption. In order to assess the thermodynamic performance of refrigeration cycles utilizing refrigerants 404a and 410a, the study looks at a number of variables, including energy consumption, cooling capacity, and coefficient of performance (COP). The impact of operating parameters on cycle performance, such as system pressure, refrigerant flow rate, and temperatures of the evaporator and condenser, is evaluated by analyzing experimental data. The experimental investigations' results are presented and thoroughly explained, emphasizing the observed trends, correlations, and distinctions between refrigerants 410a and 404a. Analyzing performance metrics comparative provide important information about the relative efficacy and efficiency of each refrigerant in refrigeration applications. The research findings' ramifications are examined in relation to real-world refrigeration technology applications, taking system design, component selection, and refrigerant selection into account. Based on the factors that have been found to influence system reliability and efficiency, recommendations are given for improving the performance of the refrigeration cycle. All things considered, this study advances knowledge of the performance of the refrigeration cycle utilizing refrigerants 404a and 410a, providing insightful information to researchers, engineers, and system designers. The results of this study hold significance for improving the effectiveness and durability of refrigeration systems across multiple sectors, such as cold storage, food processing, and HVAC. The understanding and applications of refrigeration technology are further advanced by identifying future research directions. |
