Performance of a reciprocating hermetic refrigerant compressor using propane as working fluid.

Author(s) : CORBERÁN J. M., URCHEGUÍA J. F., NAVARRO I., et al.

Summary

Compared to R22 performances with the same test rig, R290 leads to lower the capacity but increases the COP. On a first run the machine, a standard 6 kW R22 unit, was evaluated in normal working conditions. Then it was retrofitted with pure propane and again tested. For the experimental study a specially designed, ISO 917 compliant, characterization test rig was used to provide a complete picture on modifications in volumetric efficiency, isentropic efficiency, thermal transfer characteristics and others.
