Propylene refrigerant for commercial applications.

Number: 0400

Author(s) : SEDLIAK J., MIND'AS M.

Summary

Driven by global HFC phase down, hydrocarbons are the most sustainable refrigerants for new light commercial applications. They have very high thermodynamic efficiency and ultra low GWP which already meets the requirements of all global regulations. Due to flammability, the application of hydrocarbons in commercial plug in systems is restricted to charge limit of 150g per circuit. With recent modification of the safety standard IEC 60335-2-89, it is supposed that hydrocarbons will be used also for larger plug-in systems with charges allowed up to 500g. Excepting isobutene and propane, which are widely used gases in light commercial refrigeration; another hydrocarbon, propylene, can be applied for commercial systems, especially for those which are requiring high capacity and efficiency. This paper shows the performance study of application the propylene in a light commercial compressor.
