The Montreal Protocol has sealed the use of Halogenated Hydrocarbons; Keeping in view they affect the environment in the form of Ozone layer depletion and Global warming. Thus one of the major thrust areas is to identify substitute of Halogenated Hydrocarbons, especially CFCs. The substitute refrigerant should be eco-friendly, chemically stable and compatible with existing refrigeration systems with transport and thermal properties similar to or better than CFCs. Since the refrigeration system use CFC- 12 as refrigerant universally, the search for a suitable alternative for CFC-12 is inevitable.HFC-134a a is currently the leading alternative to CFC-12. Other promising substitutes are R-423as a binary mixture of R-227ea &R-413a ternary mixture of R-134a, R-218 andR-600a. In this paper, performance evaluation of eco-friendly alternate refrigerant R-134a, R-413a & R-423a for replacing CFC12 has been done and a suitable alternative refrigerant for retrofitting has been identified.
