Tests with R290-R600 mixtures in a domestic refrigerator-freezer.
Author(s) : LIU B. Y., TOMASEK M. L., RADERMACHER R.
Summary
The propane-butane mixture was tested as a drop-in substitute in a domestic 20-cubic-foot (about 540 liter) unit. All hardware components were the original ones used for R12, except the capillary tube, which was lengthened to control the flow rate. To find the best performance, tests were conducted for several lengths of capillary tube and varying mixture concentration and charge. The highest energy savings of 6.5% were achieved with a blend of 70% R290 and 30% R600, and 70 g of charge.
