Summary

An experimental study on the replacement of R12 in domestic refrigerators by new hydrocarbon/hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant mixtures has been carried out. The results show that butane/propane/R134a mixtures provide excellent performance parameters, such as COP of refrigerator, compression power, volumetric efficiency, condenser duty, compressor discharge pressure and temperature, relative to a 210 g charge of R12. In addition, there is no need to change the compressor lubricating oil used with R12.
