2 Soft-Optimized Tests of a 4-RT Unitary Rooftop Heat Pump with R410A, DR-55, R32, and DR-5A Heating Mode Performance page 2 of 12 INTRODUCTION This report documents tests performed on a 4 RT (14 kw) rooftop heat pump, to evaluate the performance of lower GWP refrigerants as alternatives to R410A in unitary air-conditioning and heat pump equipment. Compositions and GWPs are listed below in Table 1. The unit was run at the rating conditions specified in AHRI Standard 210/240 for heating mode performance. Tests were run using R410A (baseline), DR-55, R32, and DR-5A with performance of the three alternatives compared to the baseline R410A. The tests were performed in controlled ambient chambers at Ingersoll Rand/Trane s La Crosse Development Laboratory in La Crosse, Wisconsin, from late-may through early-august Table 1.

DETAILS OF TEST SETUP Description of Baseline System A Precedent model WSC048E3ROA1J rooftop unit, manufactured by Trane, was chosen for refrigerant testing purposes. The unit is rated at a net heating capacity of 44,000 BTU/hr (12.9 kw) heating capacity and 3.40 COP, with a catalog refrigerant charge of 9.0 lbm (4.1 kg) of R410A. The unit is driven by an Alliance model SXA044B2BPA fixed speed scroll compressor with a displacement of ft³/rev (2.56 in³/rev or L/rev) lubricated with Emkarate RL32H POE oil. The compressor runs at 3500 RPM at 60 Hz input frequency for a displacement of 311 ft³/hr (8.82 m³/hr). The indoor and outdoor heat exchangers are of aluminum-fin/copper-tube construction with fixed speed fans. Description of Modifications to System The original factory-installed fixed TXVs for cooling and heating were both replaced with adjustable TXVs of the same size. Additionally the compressor was fitted with a variable frequency drive (VFD, Trane TR200 P5K5), which allowed the compressor speed (volumetric capacity) to be varied so that all the refrigerants could be tested at the same thermodynamic capacity. Measure- 1 The descriptions of R410A and R32 have not changed from REFPROP v8.1 to the current v9.1. IRUnitaryHeatPumpTestReport_Htg_v5b.docx Marcos E.

Description of Tests Conducted The method of test was consistent with Appendix M of AHRI Standard 210/240 with Addenda 1 and 2 (2008/2012), with operating conditions generally held within tighter tolerances. The indoor (ID) airflow rate was fixed at the catalog value of 1600 scfm for all tests. Figure 1 shows a diagram of the Precedent unit. In this diagram, the reversing valve is in the heating mode position. The points in the cycle at which measurements such as pressure and temperature were taken are indicated on the diagram. The accuracies of the various instrument types are listed in Table 2. Table 2.

For confirmation, capacity was also calculated from refrigerant side flow rate and enthalpy measurements around the indoor coil, providing a check on energy balance. Internal property codes, consistent with ASHRAE and NIST REFPROP descriptions, were used for calculation of air and refrigerant thermodynamic properties. Tests were carried out at the rating points called out in AHRI Standard 210/240 for heating performance, listed in Table 3. The H2 conditions produce frosting on the outdoor evaporator coil, resulting in cyclic heat/defrost operation. The capacity and efficiency values reported here are integrated averages over a number of heat/defrost cycles acquired after several heat/defrost cycles had occurred and periodic steady-state had been established. Although the H3 conditions also result in frosting of the outdoor coil, the build-up rate is slow enough to allow essentially steady-state behavior. Performance at the H3 conditions was determined by averaging capacity and power consumption for 30 minute period following the termination of a defrost cycle.

A charge sweep run with R410A in heating mode at the H1 conditions showed a peak in COP at the same 9.0 lbm (4.1 kg) charge determined from the cooling mode tests. The heating mode TXV was adjusted at the H1 conditions with each alternative refrigerant to deliver the same compressor suction superheat as obtained with R410A (~10/5.6 C). RESULTS Table 4 shows the refrigerant charge, TXV setting, and compressor speed used for each refrigerant. Also shown is the heating mode capacity and COP measured at the H1 rating point. Air-side capacities relative to the average of the R410A test points are shown in Figure 2. Capacity was very repeatable within ±1.5% for each refrigerant at the H1 point. Unit capacity was very similar with all refrigerants being within 2.5% of R410A. COP data are shown in Figure 3. COP was also very repeatable at the H1 point, generally within ±0.5% to ±1% for each refrigerant. DR-55 and DR-5A provided COPs ~1.5% better than R410A; R32 s COP was ~3% higher. Table 4.

The air-side heating capacities and COPs (as integrated averages over a number of heating/defrost cycles) taken under the H2 conditions are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, respectively. Significant variability in performance was observed during the H2 tests, especially with R410A. This can be attributed to several potential causes, one being variability in the frost build process and the (in)ability of the facility to hold chamber conditions perfectly as the unit switches between operating modes. 2 TEST REPORT #56, SOFT-OPTIMIZED SYSTEM TEST OF R410A, DR-55, R32, AND DR-5A IN A 4-TON UNITARY ROOFTOP HEAT PUMP, Schultz, Perez-Blanco, and Kujak, submitted to AHRI Low GWP AREP 29-Sep IRUnitaryHeatPumpTestReport_Htg_v5b.docx Marcos E.

5 Soft-Optimized Tests of a 4-RT Unitary Rooftop Heat Pump with R410A, DR-55, R32, and DR-5A Heating Mode Performance page 5 of 12 Under the H2 defrost conditions, DR-55 provided about 10% additional capacity over R410A and R32 15% to 20% more capacity along with significantly higher efficiencies. Figure 6 shows time traces of heat pump status and compressor power draw during operating under H2 conditions for each refrigerant. As shown in Figure 7, the fraction of time spent in defrost mode with R32 was shorter than for the other refrigerants. The defrost period for R32 ranged from 2.5 to 3 minutes while being 5 to 10 minutes for the other refrigerants. Heating periods ranged from 35 to 50 minutes for all refrigerants. The differences in defrost periods appear to be driven by differences in controls response. Defrost mode is supposed to terminate when the outdoor coil sensor (attached to the inlet to the bottom circuit) reading (OCT) is a specified offset above the outdoor air temperature. With R32 in the unit, defrost periods terminated when OCT was slightly above the setpoint. With R410A and DR-5A, the OCT reading was 20d to 30d beyond the setpoint before defrost ended. With DR-55, the OCT reading was 10d to 20d higher than the setpoint when defrost stopped. Although this phenomenon was generally repeatable, it is not understood how or why the controls response should be dependent on the refrigerant present. 3 Given the similarities in properties of these four refrigerants, it would be expected that similar levels of performance should be obtained if defrost occurred at common initiation and termination temperatures. (This also suggests that the level of performance obtained with R32 should be approachable with the other refrigerants.) Heating capacities and COPs relative to R410A at the H3 conditions are shown in Figure 11. At this colder outdoor condition, all refrigerants produced slightly lower capacities, ranging from R32 being 1% lower to DR-55 being 4% lower than R410A. COPs were equal to 1% lower with DR-5A and DR-55 and up by 4% with R32. The compressor discharge temperatures (CDTs) measured are shown in Figure 9 for the H1 tests and in Figure 10 for the H3 tests. R32 ran about 20d higher than the baseline R410A. DR-5A ran about 10d to 14d higher and DR-55 ran only 8d higher. Similar results were obtained during the heating segments of the H2 tests. All CDTs were well below the maximum operating temperature limit of 250. Heating mode cyclic degradation coefficients (C Dh ), calculated from the H1C (cyclic) tests with each refrigerant, are shown in Figure 11, along with percent differences relative to R410A. All the C Dh values are quite small, so the differences between them are of little significance. SUMMARY Performance tests have been run on a standard production rooftop unit of nominal 44,000 BTU/hr heating capacity and 3.40 COP with R410A, serving as the baseline, and alternative refrigerants DR-55, R32, and DR-5A. No alterations were made to the unit other than replacing the fixed TXVs with adjustable TXVs to allow keeping the superheats with the low GWP refrigerants consistent with the R410A baseline, and installing a VFD on the compressor to match the baseline capacity. 3 The OCT values used here are readings from a thermocouple attached to the OCT sensor well. The OCT thermocouple readings closely matched readings from another thermocouple attached to the same circuit approximately 3 inches upstream. Although there might have been an offset between the OCT sensor and thermocouple readings, it would be expected to be a fixed value not dependent on the refrigerant being used.

6 Soft-Optimized Tests of a 4-RT Unitary Rooftop Heat Pump with R410A, DR-55, R32, and DR-5A Heating Mode Performance page 6 of 12 At the H1 and H3 (continuous run) heating points, all three alternative refrigerants showed a small (1% to 4%) decrease in capacity. All three alternatives showed small improvements in COP at the H1 point (1% to 2%). DR-55 showed a small decrease (~1%) at the H3 point while R32 showed a small increase (~4%). At the H2 cyclic defrost test condition, there was a modest increase in capacity with DR-55 (~10%) and a significant increase (~20%) with R32. There was a large improvement in COP at the H2 condition when running with DR-55 (10% to 15%) and R32 (~25%). This was driven mainly by the shorter defrost periods with DR-55 and especially so with R32. This appears to have been driven by the controller tripping the end of defrost at quite different temperatures between the refrigerants. It is unclear at this time why this happened. It is expected that differences in performance under frosting conditions between the refrigerants would be much smaller with consistent trip points. Compressor discharge temperatures (CDTs) were slightly higher when running with DR-55 and DR-5A, typically 5 d to 10 d (3 Cd to 6 Cd). As expected, the highest discharge temperatures were measured with R32, being roughly 20 d higher than with R410A. Figure 1. Precedent unit test setup indicating measurement locations.
