Flow characteristics of oil film in suction line of refrigeration cycle.

Author(s) : FUKUTA M., YANAGISAWA T., SAWAI K., et al.

Summary

The paper discusses the flow characteristics of the oil film in a pipe with the vertical upward flow. Air and oil two-phase flow is used as the first step of the study and the flow pattern of the oil film in the vertical upward flow is observed. The condition under which the oil film having a certain thickness can flow upward is proposed as a design criterion for the refrigeration cycle. A general expression with non-dimensional parameters is developed.
