Comparative performance of hydrocarbon refrigerants.

Summary

Measurements on R600a refrigerators have shown electricity savings over R134a and R12 up to 20%. The authors propose new parameters which are functions of well known refrigerant properties. These parameters show that R600a has half the leakage, pressure loss and condenser pressure and double the heat transfer coefficient of R12 and R134a explaining the measurements.
