The invention provides a low
global warming potential (GWP)
refrigerant composition, which is directly filled to replace R22 in systems such as a household
air conditioning /
heat pump and the like. The
refrigerant consists of
propane and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and a preparation method comprises a step of physically mixing various components in a
liquid phase in corresponding proportions. The
ozone depletion potential (ODP) value of the
refrigerant composition is zero, the GWP value is very low, and the refrigerant composition completely meets the environment-friendly requirement of replacing R22 abroad and at home at present, and represents the development direction of an environmental
performance index of next refrigerant substitutes; the pressure of the refrigerant composition is close to that of the R22 and slightly lower than that of the R22, the
compression ratio is smaller than that of the R22, and the
discharge temperature is greatly superior to that of the R22, which are favorable for long-term operation of a compressor; the COP is slightly higher than that of the R22, and a certain energy-saving effect is achieved; he refrigerating capacity in
unit mass is superior to that of the R22, and the refrigerant filling amount of a
system can be reduced correspondingly; the refrigerating capacity in
unit volume is equal to that of the R22, and the load requirement of a
refrigeration air conditioning after the refrigerant composition replaces the R22 can be met; the equipment and parts of the conventional R22
refrigeration air conditioning are not needed to be changed; and the refrigerant composition is soluble with
mineral oil, so the refrigerant composition can be directly filled.
