Résumé

Refrigeration oil having good miscibility with refrigerant is generally used in refrigeration units. Precise measurement of the mixing ratio of refrigerant to refrigeration oil is required for a sufficient understanding of the refrigeration cycle. In this article, the refractive index is chosen as a property which indicates the mixing concentration of the refrigerant/oil mixture. A laser displacement sensor was used to detect a modification in the optical path which changes according to the refractive index of the test medium. The refractive indices of pure refrigerant, pure refrigeration oil and refrigerant/refrigeration oil mixture are measured with several combination of refrigerant/oil. It was found that the differences in the refractive indices of the refrigerant and the oil are sufficient for the measurement of the mixing concentration of refrigerant/oil mixture, and that the refractive index of the refrigerant/oil mixture changes almost linearly according to the mixing concentration. These data will be utilized for development of an in situ sensor in refrigerant compressors.
