Comparative assessment of some flammable refrigerants as alternatives to CFC-12.

Author(s) : DEVOTTA S., GOPICHAND S.

Summary

The theoretical performance of some flammable refrigerants, namely, propane, butane, isobutane, cyclopropane, R152a and R142b have been comparatively assessed as alternatives to R12. This has been done for a range of evaporating temperatures by using some standard refrigeration parameters like pressure ratio, specific compressor displacement, theoretical Rankine coefficient of performance, shaft per ton of refrigeration. The results are given.
