Abstract
Refrigeration system holds an important role in many commercial and household applications The optimal utilization of energy saving technologies in commercial and household refrigeration systems is a key issue for the rational use of energy resources. The scope of this study is an experimantal analysis of the small-scale refrigeration system efficiency using HFC, hydrocarbons and their mixtures as the most promising working substances in terms of environmental indicators. For analysis purposes were selected refrigerants R32, R152a and R134a in combination with hydrocarbons R600a and R290. Based on analysis results, it was concluded that the targeted modification of ozone-safe refrigerants based on synthetic refrigerants with natural hydrocarbon components is an effective means of creating a new class of alternative azeotropic working fluids in refrigeration technology.
