Abstract

The problem of global warming or called GWP (Global Warming Potential) that occurs in the earth’s atmosphere, one of which comes from synthetic refrigerants used in household air-conditioning refrigeration machines. R410A is a refrigerant that still contains GWP: 1942. Hydrocarbon refrigerant is a refrigerant that does not contain ODP (Ozone Depleting Potential) and a very small GWP. By using ref prop software, the mixing process can be simulated to obtain refrigerants that have characteristics similar to R410A. Mixing using R32 / R290 ingredients varied with percentage compositions ranging from 50/50, 40/60, 30/70, 20/80, and 10/90. From the simulation results, a mixture approaching R410A with 10/90 composition with COP: 3.85 for R410A and 5.76 for 10/90 mixture was obtained. Compression ratio: R410A: 2.8 and for mixed refrigerants 10/90: 1.8. The refrigerant effect of mixed refrigerants is 10/90: 264,13, R410A: 161,68. By using this refrigerant mixture can reduce the GWP and improve the performance of the Air Conditioning cooling system so that it has a reduced GWP value that can be obtained significantly and has a large enough potential to replace the R410A.
