TY - JOUR TI - Refrigerating fluid with a low global warming potential for automotive air conditioning systems in summer AU - Meng Zhaofeng AU - Liu Yin AU - Wang Dingbiao AU - Gao Long AU - Yan Junhai JN - Thermal Science PY - 2021 VL - 25 IS - 2 SP - 1443 EP - 1451 PT - Article AB - Refrigerants with low global warming potential (GWP) are much needed in automotive air conditioning systems. This paper compares two refrigerants, R134a (GWP=1300) and R513A (GWP = 573) experimentally. The results show that the latter has lower cooling capacity, lower COP and lower discharge temperature than the former, revealing that R513A is a promising replacement of its high GWP partner.
