Compressor valve review or redesign when using CFC-12 substitutes in a refrigerator.

Author(s) : XIE G., WU Y.

Summary

The energy consumption of a refrigerating compressor is largely dependent on the Mach number at the valve opening. As the Mach number depends on the refrigerant thermodynamic properties, it may be modified when using substitutes. It is therefore necessary to re-examine the valve design.
