Summary

R1234ze(E) and R1234yf, as green refrigerants, have received more and more attention in recent years. To better understand the performance of the evaporator working with a refrigerant/lubricating oil mixture, the solubilities of R1234ze(E)/POE85 and R1234yf/POE85 were measured using the isochoric saturation method in the temperature range from 278.15 K to 348.15 K. The NRTL model was used to correlate the new data. Using the new data, the pressure-enthalpy-vapor quality diagram and superheat-non-evaporation diagram were presented. The results show that the enthalpies of refrigerant/lubricating oil are always lower than those of pure refrigerant. The critical vapor quality is related to the refrigerant/oil solubility and oil circulation mass ratio. The enthalpy change ratio is directly proportional to the superheat and inversely proportional to the oil circulation mass fraction. The non-evaporation quality decreases as the superheat increases and increases as the mass fraction of oil circulation increases.
