INFLUENCE OF OIL ON REFRIGERANT EVAPORATOR PERFORMANCE. 2. LOCAL PRESSURE DROP.

Summary

PRESSURE DROP MEASUREMENTS WERE TAKEN DURING THE FORCED CONVECTION EVAPORATION OF REFRIGERANT-OIL MIXTURES INSIDE A HORIZONTAL PIPE. STARTING WITH A LOW OIL CONCENTRATION OF 3%, THE AVERAGE PRESSURE DROP RISES SHARPLY AS THE CONCENTRATION IS INCREASED. THE PRESSURE DROP AT AN OIL CONCENTRATION OF 10% IS ALMOST TWICE THAT FOR AN OIL-FREE REFRIGERANT. EXPERIMENTAL DATA WAS COMPARED WITH EXISTING FRICTIONAL PRESSURE DROP EQUATIONS. GRONNERUD'S AND CHISHOLM'S CORRELATIONS REPRESENTING OIL-FREE DATA WERE MODIFIED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE MORE ACCURATE PREDICTIONS AND EXTEND THE APPLICATION TO REFRIGERANT-OIL MIXTURES.
