Global
warming is when the world temperature is increasing and many natural disasters
happen such as droughts, hurricanes, etc. Using air conditioners can affect to
increase of global temperature. Engineers try to find environmentally friendly
refrigerants. R290 is chosen by refrigeration engineers because it is one of HC
(Hydrocarbon) refrigerants, and has 0 ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and 3 GWP
(Global Warming Potential). Unfortunately, R290 is flammable so it is necessary
to design an air conditioner that can prevent leaks or accidents. AC-Split was
designed using R290 refrigerant. In this design, cycle, dimension, and
simulation analysis was carried out using CoolPack software and AC-Split design
using SOLIDWORKS 2020 software using available catalog data. The analysis and
simulation result shows that the design of the Split AC with R290 refrigerant has
0.7 kW of compressor work with 2.91 kW cooling capacity. AC-Split is built with
specifications of compressor 2/3 HP with Danfoss brand along with receiver and
compressor oil brand ISO VG 32 ESTER, evaporator 2.73 KW with LU-VE brand, and
condenser 4.9 kW brand of Thermocoil.
