Summary

The paper presents simulations of leak processes of zeotropic refrigerant mixtures. Idealized cases of isothermal and adiabatic leak processes are considered in the study as representations of slow and fast leaks, respectively. Results of simulations are presented for a selected composition of binary and ternary refrigerant mixtures: R32-R134a and R32-R125-R134a. In the isothermal leak process, the fraction of the more volatile refrigerant in both vapour and liquid phases decreases for either a vapour or a liquid leak. During the adiabatic leak process, the vapour mass fraction of the more volatile component increases, while the liquid mass fraction of that component decreases for both vapour and liquid leak processes.
