Application of hydrocarbon refrigerants in low-temperature cascade systems.

Author(s) : ADAMSON B. M.

Summary

The paper reviews choice of hydrocarbon refrigerants for cascade refrigeration systems, and criteria to be considered in selecting various system components. It also discusses the author's experience of problems in application of hydrocarbon refrigerants at temperatures down to -100°C, and solutions to many of these problems. Two case studies are included, one for a small direct expansion system using scroll compressors, and one for a large system with flooded evaporators using oil-flooded screw compressors.
