Performance characteristics due to use of different refrigerant combinations in vapor compression cycles with dedicated mechanical sub-cooling are investigated. For scratch designs, R134a used in both cycles produced the best results in terms of COP, COP gain and relative compressor sizing. In retrofit cases, considering the high sensitivity of COP to the relative size of heat exchangers in the sub-cooler cycle and the low gain in COP obtained due to installation of a dedicated sub-cooling cycle when R717 is the main cycle refrigerant, it seems that dedicated mechanical sub-cooling may be more suited to cycles using R134a as the main cycle refrigerant rather than R717. With R134a as the main cycle refrigerant, no major difference was noted, by changing the sub-cooler cycle refrigerant, in the degradation of the performance parameters such as COP and cooling capacity, due to equal fouling of the heat exchangers.
► Refrigerant combination effects in dedicated mechanical subcooling cycle were studied.
► Complete design and retrofitting cases were considered using six refrigerants.
► Dedicated subcooling seems more suitable when using R134a in the main cycle.
► Changing the sub-cooler cycle refrigerant has no effect on performance degradation due to fouling.
