This communication deals with the exergetic analysis of a vapour compression refrigeration system with selected refrigerants. The various parameters computed are COP, exergetic efficiency and EDR in the system. Effects of condenser temperature, evaporator temperature and sub-cooling of condenser outlet, super-heating of evaporator out let and effectiveness of vapour liquid heat exchanger are also computed and discussed. In this study, it was found that R429A has the better performance in all respect, whereas R435A refrigerant mixture has lower performance.
