CONSERVING ENERGY IN DOMESTIC REFRIGERATORS THROUGH THE USE OF REFRIGERANT MIXTURES.

Author(s) : STOECKER W. F., WALUKAS D. J.

Summary

THE PAPER PROVIDES A LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEN A SERIES OF SIMULATIONS OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT CYCLES WITH VARYING MIXTURES OF REFRIGERANTS. IN A SINGLE EVAPORATOR CYCLE THE ENERGY CHARACTERISTIC OF A SYSTEM UTILIZING THE REFRIGERANT MIXTURE IS IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY BY THE ADDITION OF A LIQUID-SUCTION HEAT EXCHANGER. IN A SYSTEM WITH TWO EVAPORATORS OPERATING AT TWO DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES, THE ANALYSIS SHOWED A POSSIBILITY OF SAVING APPROXIMATELY 12% COMPRESSOR POWER BY USING A 50/50% MIXTURE OF R12/R114 IN COMPARISON TO PURE R12 WITH THE CHOSEN VALUES OF EVAPORATOR LOADS, AND SIZES OF HEAT EXCHANGERS AND EVAPORATORS. THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE MIXTURE WITH OIL ALSO MUST BE EXPLORED.
