Experimental investigation of cop for an air conditioner using zeotropic blend

In this project an air conditioner was fabricated using R-410a as refrigerant and its COP is calculated. CFCs have been phased out, except for essential users, and HCFCs are to be eliminated by 2020, because of their ozone depletion potential.This generates a need for the investigation of zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) refrigerants or refrigerant blends.R410A is among newer brand of refrigerant blend, with zero ODP. The biggest difference to R22 is the pressure levels generated which are more than50% higher. The refrigerant R410A operates at higher pressure at the same saturated temperatures than R22, therefore system should be re designed. The overall COP of the system is 5 to 6% more than the R22. We also calculated the relative humidity of room air after it gets cooled, heat removed from the air by considering the input data from weather online which provides us the day to day climatic conditions. Present work provides us regarding performance of an self fabricated zeotropic air conditioner.
