Conserving energy in domestic refrigerators through the use of refrigerant mixtures.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

Domestic refrigerators perform refrigeration at two temperature levels, So an applicable refrigeration cycle is one that employs two evaporators. If a refrigerant mixture is used in the circuit and directed in series first through the low- and then the high-temperature evaporator, the progressively rising temperatures reduce the irreversibilities in the cycle. The paper provides a literature review and then a series of simulations of several different cycles with varying mixtures of refrigerants. The analysis showed a possibility of saving approximately 12% compressor power by using a 50/50% mixture of Refrigerant 12/Refrigerant 114 in comparison to pure Refrigerant 12.
