Abstract
The objective of this research focuses on the numerical solution, simulation, and thermal behavior of the refrigerants R32 and R600a, the first being an industrial refrigerant and the other a hydrocarbon, the element to be studied is the internal temperature of a vehicle cabin, the air crosses the evaporator of the air conditioning system by analyzing the coil-type crossflow heat exchanger. Likewise, it is important to know the energy capacity that each refrigerant has to cool or heat the vehicle cabin to, after a mathematical analysis, contrast the information through numerical simulation of CFD fluids with specialized software in this case Fluent from ANSYS.
