Performance analysis of a drop-in-replacement blend for CFC-12, CFC-502, and HCFC-22

In this paper, a performance evaluation of a newly developed blend of HFCs and HCFCs, as a substitute for CFC-12, CFC-502, and HCFC-22, is presented. The blend's performance has been evaluated using water/air, air/air and water/water heat pumps, as well as a domestic refrigerator. The test results showed that the blend is not only environmentally sound, but it also enhances the performance by 7% to 30%, depending upon the application.
