Evaluation of suction line-liquid line heat exchange in the refrigeration cycle.

Author(s) : DOMANSKI P. A., DIDION D. A., DOYLE J. P.

Summary

The study showed that the benefit of application of the liquid line-suction line heat exchanger (llsl-hx) depends on a combination of operating conditions and fluid properties -heat capacity, latent heat, and coefficient of thermal expansion -with heat capacity being the most influential property. Fluids that perform well in the basic cycle are marginally affected by the llsl-hx. Fluids performing poorly in the basic cycle benefit from the llsl-hx installation through increase of the COP and volumetric capacity.
