A major portion of the worldwide emissions arise from mobile air-conditioning systems with hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant as working substance and which is one of major cause for the greenhouse effect. R134a refrigerant having GWP of 1400 has been extensively used in car air conditioning. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the current R134a refrigerant must be phase out as per Kigali Amendment. The present study deals with cooling load calculation of car model by heat balance method as per ASHRAE standard using local climate condition. Further, thermodynamic analysis of R1234yf as an alternate refrigerant to R134a has been carried out for automobile air conditioning system. The required properties of refrigerants are extracted from Engineering Equation Software. The thermodynamic analysis is carried out to study the effect of operating parameters viz. condensing temperature, evaporating tempera-ture, degree of superheating and degree of subcooling on COP, EDR, exergy efficiency and entropy generation. The previous literature reports mainly focus on separate study of either cooling load calculation or energy analysis or exergy analysis of R1234yf and R134a for au-tomobile air conditioning system, while this paper presents the comprehensive study of new low GWP R1234yf as an alternate refrigerant to R134a in automobile air conditioning system with cooling load calculation including the concept of energy, entropy and exergy analysis. The percentage difference in COP between R134a and R1234yf system varies from 2.44 % to 4.78 % while percentage difference in EDR varies from 6.79 % to 2.87 % when evaporating temperature varied from -10 °C to 10 °C. With 12 °C of superheating at compressor inlet, the COP of R134a is 3.9 whereas COP of R1234yf is 3.75, which makes 3.85 % lower than that of R134a. The R1234yf has 4.78 % lower value of exergy efficiency as compared to that of R134a at evaporating temperature of -10 °C and it is found that maximum exergy destruction takes place in compressor.
