| Summary: | Typically the split-type air conditioner uses a capillary tube as expansion device. To enhance the performance of the system, an ejector can be applied as expansion device to replace capillary tube. Based on the numerical modeling, the coefficient of performance (COP) of standard cycle using R410A as working fluid was slightly lower than that of R22. The use of an ejector as an expansion device on a split-type air conditioner using R410 increased the COP by 10.8%. Also, R410A has a lower total GWP impact compared with R22, which reduce negative impact on the environment. |
