Developing CO2 Emission Parameters to Measure the Environmental Impact on Cooling Applications
2015
Söğüt, M. Z.
This study examines parametric approaches to the calculation of refrigerant-based CO ₂ emissions in different cooling areas. Both the exergy analyses of refrigerants, used in domestic, commercial, transportation and industrial applications, and the environmental performances regarding exergetic irreversibility are investigated separately. Then, CO ₂ emissions caused by systems are examined via two different parameters, I°) Environmental Impact Factor and ıı°) Integrated Impact Factor (CIF). The study is based on a vapor compression cooling cycle model, commonly preferred by cooling applications, and the analyses have been made for 1 kW cooling capacity in relation to evaporator temperatures of the systems. In all cooling application, R134A gas stands out among the others in terms of coefficient of performance and exergy efficiency. Moreover, both emission analyses show that it has the lowest emission value. The paper concludes with an evaluation of the reasons for the refrigerant choice, the design and the selection of such a system, and why exergetic and environmental parameters should be preferred.
