Summary

Several new non-inflammable binary cryogenic mixtures of nitrogen and "Freon" are suggested in the paper. The working mechanism of using these mixtures in a Joule-Thomson cryocooler is analysed according to thermodynamic theory. The Peng-Robinson equation of state is used to calculate the mixed free enthalpy of these mixtures and a method to calculate the mutual solubility is also suggested. Finally, the vapour-liquid equilibria, liquid-liquid equilibria and vapour-liquid-liquid equilibria of these mixtures are analysed. It is shown that the suggested mixtures can be used as alternatives to mixtures of nitrogen and alkanes or alkenes.
