An alternative to HCFC-22: THR03.

Author(s) : SHI L., HAN L. Z., ZHU M. S.

Summary

An alternative refrigerant to HCFC-22 named THR03 was discussed in this paper. THR03 is a ternary mixture developed by the authors. The thermophysical properties and cycle performance of THR03 was compared with HCFC-22. The thermal parameters of THR03 such as the operating temperatures, pressures and volumetric capacity are close to those of HCFC-22. The flammability of THR03 was studied according to ASTM E-681-85 method. It shows that THR03 has zero ODP, low GWP value, non toxicity, non-flammability and good thermal performance. THR03 can be applied directly to existing and new air conditioner as drop-in alternative. It seems a promise alternative to HCFC-22.
