However, the system contributes to global warming by releasing potential global warming refrigerants directly and powering the system. There is an obligation, like UN Kyoto Protocol, EU MAC Directive and Japan METI Directive to find an alternative low-GWP refrigerant with excellent thermophysical properties. In this paper, the global warming effect of an air-conditioning system is analyzed theoretically using few low-GWP refrigerant mixtures. New refrigerant mixtures are formed based on low GWP, high volumetric capacity, and refrigerating effect. After analyzing, refrigerant blends of R1234yf/R32 (40/60, 50/50, and 60/40 by wt%) and R1234ze/R32 (40/60, 50/50, and 60/40 by wt%) are found promising to replace the widely used R410A. The best performance of the refrigerant blend is found for R1234yf/R32 (40/60). These analyses are crucial for selecting suitable refrigerants for domestic air conditioning systems.展开更多
