Some issues in the use of refrigerant mixtures.
Author(s) : SINGH R. R., PHAM H. T., SHANKLAND I. R.
Summary
Some but not all of the arguments for and against the use of mixtures as refrigerants are examined in this study. An issue associated with use of blends is the segregation on leakage and the ensuing loss in capacity and performance change on repeated recharging with the original mixture. The authors simulated this phenomenon by creating a variable vapour leak in a 30-70 mixture of R32-R134a, which has been proposed recently as an R22 replacement. Results are given.
