description I n this paper, the effects of internal heat exchanger IHX effectiveness on the performance parameters of the refrigeration cycle with R1234yf were theoretically investigated. For this purpose, a mathematical model was developed based on the energy balance of the cycle. The analysis were performed between -20°C and 0°C evaporation and 40°C and 50°C condensation temperatures based on the effectiveness value of IHX. The cooling capacity, coefficient of performance COP , subcooling, superheat and compressor discharge temperature of the refrigeration cycle was examined. Finally, the performance results of the cycle with R1234yf were compared with the baseline cycle that utilizes with R134a. As a result, it was determined that the critical effectiveness to supply the same COP with R1234yf was determined 50% in comparison the baseline cycle
