Abstract
Investigating the performance traits of R410A and R404A refrigerants at different air outlet temperatures is the aim of this study. Performance characteristics include a wide range of thermodynamic factors, including mass flow rate, heat rejection, power consumption, maximum discharge pressure, and coefficient of performance. Thermodynamic characteristics of all refrigerants typically decrease when temperature is lowered. Although R410A is currently a commonly used refrigerant, experimental results show that R404A has the highest mass flow rate and reaches the desired temperature faster than R410A. Additionally, there is a slight difference in the thermodynamic properties of the two refrigerants. R404A and R410A are refrigerants with different applications. R404A is ideal for faster cooling, while R410A is ideal for precise temperature control.
