Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of refrigerant screening methods, specifically relating to a multi-objective optimization screening method for mixed refrigerants with low global warming potential (GWP) in high-temperature heat pumps. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature heat pump systems typically operate under conditions of significant temperature rise, and the thermophysical properties of the refrigerant directly affect the system's cycle performance and heat exchange process. Therefore, selecting suitable refrigerants for the operating conditions of high-temperature heat pumps is an important technical approach to improving system performance.
[0003] With the development of refrigerants with low global warming potential (GWP), low GWP refrigerant blends have gradually become an important research direction for high-temperature heat pump working fluids. Existing methods for screening low GWP refrigerant blends typically use pure low GWP refrigerants as the base component. By constructing binary or ternary refrigerant blend systems and combining them with thermodynamic cycle models to calculate performance parameters such as COP and VHC under different mixing ratios, the optimal blend working fluid is determined based on the evaluation results. This type of method can utilize the complementary thermophysical properties between different components to improve the performance deficiencies of single refrigerants and enhance the cycle performance of blended refrigerants.
[0004] However, existing low-GWP mixed refrigerant screening methods mainly rely on cycle performance indicators such as COP and VHC for evaluation, without fully considering the temperature glide characteristics of non-azeotropic mixed refrigerants during evaporation and condensation. This may result in the screened mixed refrigerants having insufficient matching with the temperature change process of the heat source and heat sink, increasing irreversible losses in the heat exchange process and limiting their application in high-temperature-rise heat pumps.
