Résumé

This paper discusses the transient mixing and separation characteristics of isobutane with/from refrigeration oil. The mixing/separation processes are observed and investigated experimentally in a glass cylindrical vessel. Since liquid isobutane is less dense than refrigeration oil, the mixing process proceeds one dimensionally by diffusion from the interface between isobutane gas and refrigeration oil. The progress of mixing, therefore, is very slow compared with a combination of halocarbon refrigerant and refrigeration oil having convection flow during the mixing process. The diffusion process can be analyzed using a one-dimensional diffusion model with an appropriate diffusion coefficient, which increases linearly with temperature. The separation of isobutane from the oil-refrigerant mixture occurs at the interface and the denser oil from which isobutane is separated causes a convective flow. Bubble generation under the depressurized conditions is unstable, but in the most cases, it tends to start when a high super saturation degree is reached. The temperature change during the separation process is estimated using latent heat as the separation heat of refrigerant.
