Mixed refrigerant cycles: an old technology rematures.

Author(s) : BABU K., VENKATARATHNAM G., OELLRICH L. R.

Summary

There is a renaissance in the Joule-Thomson refrigerators, used first by Linde in 1895 to liquefy air continuously. The state of art in Joule-Thomson cycles now is the use of mixed refrigerants, as in the mixed refrigerant cycles used for the large plants for liquefaction of natural gas since the sixties. The paper deals with a survey of open literature on mixed refrigerant cycles and a brief comparison of the performance of suggested mixtures by simulation. The first results with a binary mixture of ethylene-propylene on a simple test stand comprising a fully hermetic oil lubricated compressor is presented.
