New alternatives for R22
The R22 alternatives R32/125/152a and R290 and their mixtures have been analyzed and evaluated in a room air conditioner. The cooling capacities, energy efficiencies, compressor discharge temperatures, and pressures of alternatives have been compared with R22. R32/125/152a mixtures were found to be the most effective coolants.
