We present an cooling capacity (Q̇o) comparison of R1234ze(E) and R134a. R1234ze(E) Q̇o is impaired by lower vapor density and latent heat. The test bench is equipped with a bypassed IHX and a frequency inverter. The drop-in Q̇o of R1234ze(E) is more than 22% lower than that of R134a. R1234ze(E) matches R134a Q̇o at 43% higher compressor rotation speed and using an IHX.
