Research on HFO-1234ze Replacing R417A and R22 Used in HPWH
HFO-1234ze,R22 and R417A were compared with each other from aspect of thermal properties,ODP,GWP,toxicity,flammability and so on.Theoretical feasibility of HFO-1234ze used in heat pump water heater was analyzed through theoretical calculation.A test is carried out on the air resource heat pump water heater using HFO-1234ze,R22,and R417a under standard conditions.Suction and discharge pressure,suction and discharge temperature,compressor input power,thermal heating capacity,and coefficient of performance had been analyzed.The result shows that HFO-1234ze has good applicability using in heat pump water heater.This research provides the references for the refrigerant selection of the heat pump water heater.
