1. Introduction:

Scope of the work is evaluation of the compressor performance with new low GWP

refrigerant DR3 in compressor NEK2134GK primarily used for R404A refrigerant.

2. Details of Test Setup:

a. Description of Test Refrigerant-Lubricant and Charge

Refrigerant or refrigerant blend tested

o R404A by supplier LINDE

o New mixture refrigerant named DR3 delivered by DuPont

Lubricant

o Compressor lubricant is POE oil Emkarate RL 22HB by Lubrizol.

b. Description of Compressors and test conditions/methodology

The evaluation was done by testing of 2 compressors model NEK2134GK, 958AG71

made by Embraco, type hermetic reciprocating one piston compressor. Compressors are

primarily used for R404A refrigerant. First test was done with R404A for purpose of

reference values and then they were tested with new refrigerant DR3. Average from 2

compressors was considered in the final results.

c. Test facilities

The performance tests were performed on a calorimeter using Calorimetric method A

Secondary fluid calorimeter on the suction side, see EN13771. Before the measurements

were done, the calorimeter was cleaned from potential residues of previous tests,

evacuated and subsequently charged with the correct refrigerant R404A and DR3.

Calorimeter charge with R404A: 0.7 kg

Calorimeter charge with DR3: 1.1 kg

3. Results

All compressor tests are performed at a refrigerant’s dew point temperature for suction and

discharge pressure conditions, per AHRI Standard 540 requirements. This does not have an

impact on comparing compressor performance between two or more refrigerants that do not

exhibit temperature glide. However, when refrigerants exhibit temperature glide, it is important

to note that actual systems operate closer to the mid-point condition. When comparing

compressor performance of one refrigerant with glide to another refrigerant without glide, or

comparing two refrigerants with significantly different glides, comparison at pressures

corresponding to the mid-point of the temperature glide rather than the dew point will yield

results that are more representative of actual operation in a system.

R404A is near azeotropic blend with small temperature glide less than 1K and from practical

purposes can be neglected.

DR3 is a zeotropic blend with temperature glides between 12°F and 6°F over operating

application range.
