Abstract

The performance of one ton of refrigeration window air conditioner working with R-22 and retrofitted with eco friendly alternative refrigerant R-407C is experimentally investigated An internal heat exchanger is also added to the same air conditioner to provide liquid overfeeding operation. When retrofitting the R-22 system with R-407C, the coefficient of performance is found to drop by 7.28%, however when internal heat exchanger is included the performance is improved. It is observed that the inclusion of internal heat exchanger has increased the coefficient of performance by 5.86% when running on R-22 and 6.18% when running on R-407C, under the given conditions.
