摘要：
This article presents a detailed experimental analysis of 2TR (ton of refrigeration) vapor compression refrigeration cycle for different percentage of refrigerant charge using exergy analysis. An experimental setup has been developed and evaluated on different operating conditions using a test rig having R22 as working fluid. The coefficient of performance, exergy destruction, and exergetic efficiency for variable quantity of refrigerant has been calculated. The present investigation has been done by using 2TR window air conditioner and the results indicate that the losses in the compressor are more pronounced, while the losses in the condenser are less pronounced as compared to other components, i.e., evaporator and expansion device. The total exergy destruction is highest when the system is 100% charged, whereas it is found to be least when the system is 25% charged.
