Practical experiences of heat pumps with hydrocarbons as working fluids.

Author(s) : RODECKER A., GOERICKE P.

Summary

The hydrocarbon propane (R290) is an excellent substitute for the partly halogenized HCFC R22 and for the azeotrope R502. In the temperature range of heat pumps propane is far superior to the refrigerants to be susbituted in almost every aspect. In many existing systems a drop-in is possible without intervening in the cooling circuit. Optimizing the system components especially with regard to compressors and expansion parts will enable the excellent test results to be improved even further in new pumps.
