A real gas simulation of a refrigeration compressor and its performance comparison for CFCs and non-CFCs.

Summary

The paper presents predicted results of a small rolling piston refrigeration compressor using physical geometries and dimensions of the compressor which was designed for R12, when using R134a, R22 and R502 as the refrigerant. Comparison of pressure-volume histories and compressor performance parameters for R12, R22, R502, and R134a are presented. Similarities and differences in the performance are shown and discussed. The properties of the refrigerant were simulated using a real gas equation of state. Accounts on the simulation model itself are also given.
