The experimental apparatus has been set-up as a conventional vapor compression type heat pump system. The test section is a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger. A tube diameter of 12.70 mm, 9.52 mm, 6.35 mm with 1.78 mm,1.52 mm,1.4 mm wall thickness each is used for this investigation. The local evaporating heat transfer coefficients of hydrocarbon refrigerants were superior to that of R-22. and the maximum increasing rate of heat transfer coefficient was found in R-1270. The average evaporating heat transfer coefficient increased with the increase of the mass velocity and it showed the higher values in hydrocarbon refrigerants than R-22. The highest evaporating heat transfer coefficient of all refrigerants was shown in a tube diameter of 6.35 mm with same mass flux.
