چکیده

The use of refrigerant mixtures in refrigeration machines has been proposed in the technical literature. Some but not all of the arguments for and against the use of mixtures as refrigerants are examined in this study. An issue associated with use of blends is the segregation on leakage and the ensuing loss in capacity and performance change on repeated recharging with the original mixture. We have simulated this phenomenon by creating a variable vapor leak in a 30170 mixture of HFC-32/HFC134a, which has been proposed recently as an R-22 replacement. The experiment shows that the fractionation depends on temperature and can give off potentially flammable vapors. The recharging process is simulated and the effect on refrigeration capacity is calculated as a function of leak rate and of numbers of recharging cycles. It is concluded that if leakage for 32-134a system is 10% of more of the charge, continual loss in capacity will occur even with recharging.

Semi Empirical Calculation of Intermolecular Potentials and Transport Properties of Some Binary and Ternary Industrial Refrigerant Mixtures

In this study the intermolecular potential energies of some environment-friendly industrial HFC refrigerants were obtained through the inversion method which is based on the corresponding states principle. These potentials were later employed in calculation of transport properties (viscosity, diffusion, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusion factor) of some binary and ternary refrigerant mi...

Transport Properties of Refrigerant Mixtures: Thermal Conductivity

In the present work, the integral equations method is used to calculate transport properties of polar fluids. For this goal, we use the Stockmayer potential and examine theoretically the thermal conductivity of several refrigerant mixtures such as R125+R134a, R125+R32, R125+R152a, R134a+R32, R152a+R32, R134a+R143a, and R125+R143a. We solve numerically the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation usin...

Development of High-Temperature Heat Pump Using

four kinds of refrigerant mixtures R22/Rl34a, R22/Rl52a, R22/Rl42b and R22/Rl23, which contain some new halocarbons which are considered to be the alternatives for CFCs, were evaluated in order to realize higher condensing temperature than that using R22 at high temperature operation, and larger heating capacity than that using R22/Rll4 at normal temperature operation. These mixtures were appli...
