  We tested to use several compositions of a four| component|mixture R32^125^134a^600 as a refrigerant for replaclng R22 in refrigeration system of refrigerated warehousesDR32CR125Cand R134a are hydrofluorocafbons and R600 is normalbutaneDThe refrigeration system designed for R22 can be used without any Change or with very minor changeDBy usig appropriate composition of the four|component refrigerantCexisting refrigeration system can provide best performance because the adjusted properties of the refrigerant can somewhat compensate for the individual hardware problems. Practical operation test was done by using a refrigeration system of nominal cooling capacity of 30.2kW with a 22kW two-Stage compressor Which equipped for an 858m3refrigerated warehouse maintaining at|30ŽD The pressure condition and the coeffcient of performance of R32^125^134a^600 are similar to R22 from a theoretical viewpointDThe power consumption of R32^125^134a^600 was small enough or not to be worse than that of R22CWhich was confirmed from the actual test resultsD
