RESUMO

This work presents a proposal function to vapor compression refrigerator cycle performance from environmental and thermodynamic point of view. The function was developed through the statistic analysis of a refrigerator cycle computational results. The proposal function represents an evaluation indice of efficiency and environment criterions and was developed to make the analysis of combining criterions evaluations easier in thermodynamics cycles. It includes an exergetic analysis, COP (Coefficient of Performance), ODP (Ozone Depletion Potencial) and GWP (Global Warming Potential). Software Hysys version 3.2 from Aspen Technology was used for computational simulation development. The simulations allowed testing several combinations of refrigerants. The thermodynamic packages Peng-Robison and Peng-Robison Stryjek and Vera was compared however Peng-Robinson equation of state, was used to estimate thermodynamic properties of proposed cycle in this work. Two different efficiencies for the compressor were considered, 55% and 75%. The mixtures of refrigerants tested were pair s combinations of: R134a, R290, R152a and R600a. The variation of these mixtures was in the following proportions: 75, 50 e 25% and it was compared with the own refrigerant. In order to evaluate the performance of refrigerant mixtures, the pressure of high pressure region and low pressure region suffered a change of 10%. With this analysis was possible to suggest a new pressure range for cycle optimization. Considering the values of performance function, it was possible to conclude that R600a and its mixtures are the most indicated ones to be used in the proposed cycle
