Experimental study on the replacement of HFC-R134A by hydrocarbons mixture in automotive air conditioner

Performance characteristics of the current automotive air conditioning system have been evaluated in this experimental study which will evaluate the power consumption, cabin temperature and coefficient of performance (COP) at various internal heat loads and engine speeds using hydro-chlorofluorocarb...
