ABSTRACT
Purposes of this research as to determine cooling effect of Freon 12 (R12) and R404 A in a cold store built specifically for this research. Inlet and outlet temperature of the evaporator and condenser, compressor suction and compression pressures were measured and cooling coefficients were calculated. Required flow rate of R12 quite larger than that of R404 A because of its less evaporative specific heat. High flow rate increases compression work and consequently compressor will use more energy. Used energy per unit cooling of R12 was higher than R404 A. Capacity of condenser for R12 refrigerant was too much in spite of small cooling load. Evaporator pressure of R404 A was higher than R12. This caused to increase the vapour density and to establish more cooling effect. Suction and compression pressures of the R404 A were higher than Freon 12. High suction and compression pressure decrease compressor life. Cooling effect of system showed superiority of R404 A.
