Summary

IN ORDER TO FIND A DROP-IN REPLACEMENT FOR R12 IN SMALL HEAT PUMPS PRODUCING DOMESTIC HOT WATER BY COOLING VENTILATION AIR FROM A HOUSE, TESTS WERE CONDUCTED ON NEAR-AZEOTROPIC MIXTURES. IT WAS FOUND THAT A MIXTURE OF 36% R22, 24% R152A, AND 40% R124 WHICH HAS A TEMPERATURE GLIDE OF ONLY ABOUT 3 K PRODUCED RESULTS ALMOST INDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL R12. THIS MIXTURE HAS AN OZONE DEPLETION OF ONLY 2.5% OF R12, AND WILL OPERATE WITH THE SAME COMPRESSOR OIL. IN A HERMETIC UNIT, THE RISK OF UNEQUAL LEAKAGE OF MIXTURE COMPONENTS IS NEGLIGEABLE. D.W.H.
