Abstract
Over 80% of cars, light commercial vehicles and truck cabins in Western Europe are equipped with an air-conditioning system based on vapour compression technology. These systems typically use HFC-134a, which has a high global warming potential. The EU has identified mobile air conditioning systems as one of the major sources of HFC emissions and has indicated that the improvement of the design of these systems is one way to reduce their impact on the environment. The Centre for Energy and Processes laboratory has developed a test method and facility to measure compressor leakage under operating conditions. This feature describes the test facility and presents measurements from both new and old compressors made by different manufacturers.
