| Abstract: | In this paper, the entrainment ratio, pump work, heat loads of heat exchangers and COPthermal were theoretically evaluated for a solar-driven ejector-vapor compression hybrid refrigeration system with R1233 zd(E) and R1336 mzz(Z) as the working fluids. The evaluation of the utilization potentials of R1233 zd(E) and R1336 mzz(Z) was presented by comparing the system performance with that of R245 fa, a commonly used refrigerant in the ejector system. The results indicated that the systems with R1233 zd(E) and R1336 mzz(Z) had a higher entrainment ratio and lower pump work. The pump works when using R1233 zd(E) and R1336 mzz(Z) can be up to 14.59% and 38.05% lower than those of R245 fa, respectively. Meanwhile, the system showed the highest COP_(thermal) utilizing R1233 zd(E) followed by that of R245 fa, with the R1336 mzz(Z) system having the lowest value. The differences between R1233 zd(E) and R1336 mzz(Z) systems, R1233 zd(E) and R245 fa systems were 4.33% and 2.0%, respectively. This paper was expected to provide a good reference for the utilizing prospect of R1233 zd(E) and R1336 mzz(Z) in ejector refrigeration systems. |
