Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

The advantages of using non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures in heat pumps are discussed. In comparison with conventional refrigerants the appliance of refrigerant mixtures can result in energetic improvements, extension of the application limits and a continuous capacity control. In order to investigate the behaviour of refrigerant mixtures measurements were carried out, as well as a constant-volume-cell for investigating the thermodynamic behaviour as in a heat pump test arrangement for measuring the realistic performance and operating data of mixtures in a plant. The results of changing the mixture composition for a continuous capacity control are presented. It was shown that by using refrigerant mixtures in a heat pump, several improvements can be made.
