Abstract
The mathematical modeling of heat exchangers is explored by the scientific community in studies of thermal equipment to evaluate the feasibility of replacing traditional refrigeration fluids with ecological fluids and their impact on the system energy efficiency. The present work aims to present Condensers mathematical modeling (coaxial counter-current and immersed) of a Direct-Expansion Solar Assisted Heat Pump (DX-SAHP) used to residential water heating combined with the selection procedure for a friendly refrigerant. The methodology is based on dimensioning the heat exchanger and evaluating, through computer simulations, the global energy efficiency of the system and the Total Equivalent Warming Impact (TEWI) using the following refrigerants that have low GWP (Global Warming Potential) and ODP (Ozone Depleting Potential) zero: R152a, R744, R1234yf, R1234ze (E), R1233zd (E), R170, R290, R600 and R600a. The main result is the selection of R290 to operate the proposed system. This study has allowed the development of a useful tool for the selection of the appropriate ecological refrigerant of a low cost residential solar heat pump.
