MEASURING THE CONCENTRATION OF A FLOWING OIL-REFRIGERANT MIXTURE WITH A BYPASS VISCOMETER.

Author(s) : BAUSTIAN J. J., PATE M. B., BERGLES A. E.

Summary

A RECENTLY INTRODUCED BYPASS VISCOMETER WAS EVALUATED AS A SENSOR FOR MEASURING THE CONCENTRATION OF OIL IN THE LIQUID LINE OF A REFRIGERATION SYSTEM. THE VISCOMETER WAS TESTED UNDER SIMULATED LIQUID-LINE CONDITIONS WITH R12-NAPHTHENIC OIL, R22-NAPHTHENIC OIL, AND R502-ALKYLBENZENE OIL MIXTURES IN CONCENTRATIONS OF 0 TO 30 WEIGHT-PERCENT. TEST TEMPERATURES IN THE SIMULATED LIQUIDLINE RANGED FROM 294 TO 319 K (21 TO 46 DEG C) AT PRESSURES CORRESPONDING TO APPROXIMATELY 1.7 K (1.7 DEG C) SUBCOOLING. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DATA SHOWED THAT THE VISCOMETER CAN BE USED TO MEASURE THE FLOWING OIL CONCENTRATION WITH AN UNCERTAINTY OF MORE OR LESS 1 TO 2%.
