This test set–up included the following sensors:
Compressor inlet: pressure & temperatureCompressor outlet: pressure & temperatureCondenser inlet: pressure & temperatureCondenser outlet: pressure & temperatureExpansion valve inlet: pressure & temperatureEvaporator outlet: pressure & temperature
4.2 Air Side
Air temperature measurement designed with thermocouple (TC) grids at theheat exchangers including one PT100 sensor. Humidity inlet and outlet ismeasured each with one sensor.
Condenser inlet: PT100Condenser outlet: PT100, 12×TCEvaporator inlet: PT100, 4×TCEvaporator outlet: PT100, 12×TC
5 Execution of tests
The tests have been conducted according to the following specifications.These conditions were used for the previous GAR tests, too.The data handling and interpretation is realized in MS Excel. The durationof the test is 30 minutes with constant conditions and the logging rate is 1Hz. The outcome of the average calculation is the result.Between the change from R134a to R1234yf the system was not flushed andthe oil was not changed. The first R1234yf test series were made as real“Drop-in” with no modification on hardware.

5.1 Charge Determination
The amount of refrigerant was verified by a charge determination using thefollowing conditions:
Evaporator side:
Air inlet temperature: toL1 = 40 ◦C
Air inlet humidity: ϕoL1 = 50 % r.H.
Air mass flow: moL = 350 kg/h
Condenser side:
Air inlet temperature: tcL1 = 40 ◦C
Air mass flow: mcL = 2200 kg/h
Compressor speed: nV = 2500 1/min

5.2 Sensor verification test
This test is to check all sensors of the system according to the C4 QMS testprocess. The air is fully conditioned and only the compressor is not running.

5.4 Test procedure
Target for all tests was to reach 8 ◦C evaporator air outlet temperature (toL2).This was reached by setting the PWM-signal of the ECV. To avoid the slip-stick effect of the wobble plate, which occurred by small angle changes, thePWM-signal was interrupted for a second.
5.4.1 Test series I R134a
This test series is used as a base line for comparison.
5.4.2 Test series II R1234yf
This test series is demonstrating a real “Drop-in” R1234yf.

5.4.3 Test series III R1234yf TXV
For the third test series the TXV setting was changed. The screw of theTXV was turned two thirds to the right to reach 3 K superheat evaporatoroutlet at test condition 3.2.
6 Results
The results are showing a big deviation between cooling capacity calculatedover refrigerant side (QoR) and air side (QoL). Herefrom is the deviation inCOP large, too. This applies to the tests with part load (1.1 – 3.3). Thecause is a wet outlet out of the evaporator. The calculation is based on a dryoutlet. Hence, the enthalpy difference is bigger. In the tests with high load(4.1 – 4.3) the difference between QoR and QoL is small. For a comparisonof the cooling capacity the air side has to be used.

7 Summary
A real “Drop-in” with R1234yf is showing promising results. Especially inpart load condition the COP is better than the base line with R134a.
The increasing of super heat results in a better COP in part load condi-tion. For full load the COP was equal but the cooling capacity was worse.
After the changing of the TXV setting the evaporator outlet temperaturewas unstable. This caused a wavering super heat, in other words hunting.
Investigation with a dedicated TXV for R1234yf will be the next test. Fur-ther activities are planed by running a PQ35 pool car with R1243yf.
