چکیده
An experimental investigation of oil retention and pressure drop characteristics for R1234yf, R134a and R410A with POE 100 is presented, for horizontal and vertical suction lines of 10.2 mm internal diameter. Conditions of operation include a saturation temperature of 13 °C and a superheat of 15 °C, with the superficial vapor velocity and the Oil in Circulation Ratio (OCR) both varied in the range of 1-6 m/s and 1-5 % respectively. The effect of lubricant viscosity on oil retention and pressure drop is also presented by comparing results with those of POE 32, under the same conditions of operation.

متن کاملSustainability of Automobile Air- Conditioning System Using Refrigerant R1234yf Instead of R134a
Air conditioning refrigerant R134a has value of global warming potential (GWP) 1300, which is much higher than MAC Directive (GWP below 150) passed in July 2006. This prompted a search for alternative refrigerant with GWP value less than 150. R1234yf is a new refrigerant which has lower GWP value of 4. Effect of blower speed has been compared and flammability issue of R1234yf has been addre...
متن کاملThe effect of micro/nano-particles on pressure drop in Oil pipeline: Simulation
A high pressure drop happens when heavy oil with high viscosity moves through the oil pipeline. A variety of methods to avoid this pressure drop is available. One of which is injection of chemicals to reduce the viscosity and ultimately reduce pressure drop. Using the pipesim software, the effect of dispersion of nano and micro-particles into the oil has been simulated to study the amount of th...
