Lifetime and reliability of small hermetic compressors using a ternary blend HCFC22/HFC152a/HCFC124.

Author(s) : HANSEN P. E., FINSEN L.

Summary

The near-azeotrope blend R22/R152a/R124 has been proposed as an alternative to R12 in household refrigeration. The paper is a study of the reliability for small hermetic compressors using this blend. Results concerning wear and chemical stability of compressors are presented. The compatibility of the blend with normal used materials is given. R152a is less stable than R12 and R134a. A possible decomposition reaction will be put forward.
