Numerical Study of Hydrocarbon Charge Reduction Methods in HVAC Heat Exchangers

Required refrigerant charge in heat pump systems with propane is analyzed. Two systems are compared: the first a direct heat pump, with fin-and-tube heat exchangers, and the second an indirect system, with plate heat exchangers with an additional brine-to-air heat exchanger. Each system was consider...
