Although the use of both refrigerants in new equipments were abolished in EU and US according the new F-Gas Regulation of EU and SNAP, they still being used as options for R12 in old equipments, especially in developing countries. Both refrigerants were studied for the same test conditions, according to two groups of tests: group A (variation of the heat source temperature) and group B (variation of refrigerant flow rate). The results obtained showed that the R437A presents a higher discharge pressure and a lower discharge temperature. The heating and cooling capacities of both refrigerants were similar, as well as the exergetic efficiency. For the group A of tests the COP of both refrigerants was similar and for the group B of tests the R409A presented an average COP 15% higher. According to the results obtained it is recommended the use of R409A in old equipments (as transition refrigerant) until the acquisition of equipments operating with refrigerants with low-GWP becomes technically and economic feasible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/eng-2017-0011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,14]],"date-time":"2017-04-14T10:01:05Z","timestamp":1492164065000},"page":"77-90","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Experimental comparison between R409A and R437A performance in a heat pump unit"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"M.
