The performance consideration of various refrigerants such as R22, R134a, R410a and R290 are considered and the various properties of the refrigerant are considered. The experiments are conducted in Vapour compression refrigeration system based AC test rig with the selected refrigerants. The power consumption is calculated with no loads and various load conditions such as 100W, 200W, 300W &400W are monitored and recorded and the graph is plotted to attain the selection of refrigerant. The theoretical and actual COP is calculated using the standard formula and it is plotted with various load conditions. The selection of refrigerants R22 is selected based on the results.
