自动复叠制冷系统非共沸混合工质组分变化特性

非共沸混合工质冷凝是温度不断降低的等压冷凝过程,气相和液相组分不断变化。当冷凝器出口温度为300 K时,液相混合工质R600a/R23/R14的质量分数为78.04/12.62/9.34,冷凝液大部分为R600a,但含有相当数量的中低沸点工质。冷凝温度降低至280 K时,R600a在气相中的比例为9.8%,即使冷凝温度降低到质量分数35/35/30的泡点温度249.49 K,R600a在气相的质量分数仍然占2.67%。相分离器I能够分离78.04%的高沸点工质R600a,但低沸点工质R14在液相中占9.34%。相分离器II只能分离30.27%的R23,12.62%依靠相分离器I分离,其余的R23都被带入到蒸发器。R600a在蒸发器内仍然有6.31%的含量,低沸点工质R14在蒸发器内占45.64%。     

R290/R600a混合工质制冷系统泄漏点对系统性能的影响

混合工质在不同位置的泄漏所引起的系统中工质对组分比例发生变化会对制冷系统的性能产生很大影响。根据混合法则,从理论上研究R290/R600a工质对泄漏率在5%~40%范围内8种泄漏率条件下,系统工质对组分变化的规律。按照理论计算的要求建立制冷系统工质泄漏实验台,对实验台在4种泄漏率条件下的蒸发压力、冷凝压力、制冷量和COP进行研究。计算和实验结果表明,在蒸发器出口和冷凝器入口处的泄漏使低沸点组分R290在工质对中的比例增大,系统制冷量增加且COP下降;在蒸发器入口和冷凝器出口处的泄漏使高沸点组分R600a在工质对中的比例增大,系统制冷量下降且COP上升。

Review on pool boiling heat transfer of carbon dioxide

Although application of carbon dioxide as working fluid in many fields of refrigeration technology has been recommended very often in the recent past, the data on nucleate boiling heat transfer of carbon dioxide in free convection are very scarce in the open literature and new investigations are almost entirely focussed on forced convective flow boiling. In the interpretation of the respective results, heat transfer to carbon dioxide is often characterized as being superior to other refrigerants due to the outstandingly favourable thermophysical properties of carbon dioxide for boiling heat transfer. Different from this view, the discussion of recent results on pool boiling heat transfer of carbon dioxide in this review demonstrates that the high heat transfer coefficients measured for carbon dioxide in comparison to hydrocarbon or halocarbon refrigerants are mainly due to the fact that application of carbon dioxide is mostly envisaged for conditions where reduced saturation pressure p*=p_s/p_c (p_c, critical pressure) is higher than for common refrigerants.

In the first part of the review, the three main influences—by heat flux, saturation pressure and fluid properties—on pool boiling of carbon dioxide are discussed using recent measurements for CO₂ by Kotthoff et al. [S. Kotthoff, U. Chandra, D. Gorenflo, A. Luke, New measurements of pool boiling heat transfer for carbon dioxide in a wide temperature range, Proceedings of the Sixth IIR-Gustav Lorentzen Conference, Glasgow, 2004 [paper 2/A/3.30]; see also S. Kotthoff, U. Chandra, D. Gorenflo, Neue Messungen zum Behältersieden von Kohlendioxid in einem grösseren Temperaturbereich, DKV-Tagungsbericht 22 (2004) [Bd.II. 1] 233–256 and other organic substances (Gorenflo et al.) [D. Gorenflo, S. Kotthoff, U. Chandra, New measurements of pool boiling heat transfer with hydrocarbons and other organics for update of VDI—Heat Atlas calculation method, Proceedings of the Sixth IIR-Gustav Lorentzen Conference, Glasgow, 2004 [paper 1/C/1.00]; Kotthoff and Gorenflo, [S. Kotthoff, D. Gorenflo, Influence of the fluid on pool boiling heat transfer of refrigerants and other organic substances, Proceedings of the IIR-Commission B1 Conference, Vicenza, 2005 [paper #TP-98]. In the second part, a comparison is given with the few former data available and with new results of Loebl and Kraus [S. Loebl, W.E. Kraus, Pool boiling heat transfer of carbon dioxide on a horizontal tube, Proceedings of the Sixth IIR-Gustav Lorentzen Conference, Glasgow, 2004 [paper 1/A/1.20]; S. Loebl, W.E. Kraus, Zum Wärmeübergang bei der Verdampfung von Kohlendioxid am horizontalen Rohr, DKV-Tagungsbericht 22 (2004) [Bd.II.1] 219–232 on the influence of the heating wall (material and surface roughness). Finally, analogies between nucleate pool boiling and new flow boiling data are shown for those domains of flow boiling in which nucleation provides the dominant contribution to heat transfer and convective effects are of secondary importance.

Experiment and simulation on the performance of an autocascade refrigeration system using carbon dioxide as a refrigerant

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of an autocascade refrigeration system using zeotropic refrigerant mixtures of R744/134a and R744/290. One of the advantages of this system is the possibility of keeping the highest pressure of the system within a limit by selecting the composition of a refrigerant mixture as compared to that in the vapor compression system using pure carbon dioxide. Performance test and simulation have been carried out for an autocascade refrigeration system by varying secondary fluid temperatures at evaporator and condenser inlets. Variations of mass flow rate of refrigerant, compressor power, refrigeration capacity, and coefficient of performance (COP) with respect to the mass fraction of R744 in R744/134a and R744/290 mixtures are presented at different operating conditions. Experimental results show similar trends with those from the simulation. As the composition of R744 in the refrigerant mixture increases, cooling capacity is enhanced, but COP tends to decrease while the system pressure rises.

Flow boiling characteristics and flow pattern visualization of refrigerant/lubricant oil mixtures

A comprehensive review of flow boiling characteristics and flow pattern visualization of refrigerant/lubricant oil mixtures is presented in this paper. First, various parameters influenced by the lubricant oil in convective boiling of refrigerants, such as mass velocity, vapor quality, oil concentration and geometric characteristics of the heat transfer tube are discussed. The effects of the unavoidable introduction of the lubricant oil on the thermodynamics properties of a refrigerant are described. Then, a review of the main experimental studies of flow boiling of refrigerant/lubricant oil mixtures is presented and also describes research with halocarbons, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and ammonia. There is no agreement among these studies regarding the effect of the oil in the evaporator, with studies showing an increase or decrease in the heat transfer coefficient. However, in relation to pressure drop, all the results presented the same trend, increasing the pressure drop with increasing oil concentration. Next, the flow patterns of refrigerant/oil mixtures are illustrated together with a selection of video images. It is possible to notice the difference in frothing formation with respect to the particular refrigerant and tube geometry. Some predictions of oil effects on the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drops based on the mixture physical properties are then presented and the trends compared to data. Finally, some suggestions for future work are given.     

Experimental study on forced convective boiling heat transfer of pure refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures in a horizontal tube

Convective boiling heat transfer coefficients of pure refrigerants (R22, R32, R134A, R290, and R600a) and refrigerant mixtures (R32/R134a, R290/R600a, and R32/R125) are measured experimentally and compared with Gungor and Winterton correlation. The test section is made of a seamless stainless steel tube with an inner diameter of 7.7 mm and is uniformly heated by applying electric current directly to the tube. The exit temperature of the test section was kept at 12°C ± 0.5°C for all refrigerants in this study. Heat fluxes are varied from 10 to 30 kW m⁻² and mass fluxes are set to the discrete values in the range of 424–742 kg m⁻² s⁻¹ for R22, R32, R134a, R32/R134a, and R32/R125; 265–583 kg m⁻² s⁻¹ for R290, R600a, and R290/R600a. Heat transfer coefficients depend strongly on heat flux at a low quality region and become independent as quality increases. The Gungor and Winterton correlation for pure substances and the Thome-Shakil modification of this correlation for refrigerant mixtures overpredicts the heat transfer coefficients measured in this study.     

Nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients of flammable refrigerants

Nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) of propylene (R1270), propane (R290), isobutane (R600a), butane (R600), and dimethylether (RE170) on a horizontal smooth tube of 19.0 mm outside diameter have been measured. The experimental apparatus was specially designed to accommodate high vapor pressure refrigerants such as propylene and propane with a sight glass. A cartridge heater was used to generate uniform heat flux on the tube. Data were taken in the order of decreasing heat flux from 80 kW m⁻² to 10 kW m⁻² with an interval of 10 kW m⁻² in the pool temperature of 7 °C. Test results exhibited a typical trend that HTCs of flammable refrigerants increase with increasing vapor pressure. Existing nucleate boiling heat transfer correlations showed up to 80% deviation as compared to the present data. Hence a new correlation was developed through a regression analysis taking into account dimensionless variables affecting nucleate boiling heat transfer. The new correlation showed a good agreement with data for flammable refrigerants as well as halogenated refrigerants with a deviation of 5.3%.     

An analytical equation of state for refrigerant mixtures

We have extended our previous work on the equation of state for refrigerants to their mixtures successfully. The temperature-dependent parameters of the equation of state have been calculated using our previous corresponding-states correlation based on the normal boiling point temperature and the liquid density at the normal boiling point. We have applied a simple combining rule for the normal boiling point constants to extend our previously proposed equation of state to mixtures of refrigerants. In this work the liquid densities of a large number of refrigerant mixtures have been calculated and the results are compared both with experimental data and a recent correlation by Nasrifar et al. (1999). The agreement is good.     

Use of ejectors in a multi-evaporator refrigeration system for performance enhancement

In this study, an improved cooling cycle for a conventional multi-evaporators simple compression system utilizing ejector for vapour precompression is analyzed. The ejector-enhanced refrigeration cycle consists of multi-evaporators that operate at different pressure and temperature levels. A one-dimensional mathematical model of the ejector was developed using the equations governing the flow and thermodynamics based on the constant-area ejector flow model. The model includes effects of friction at the constant-area mixing chamber. The energy efficiency and the performance characteristics of the novel cycle are theoretically investigated. The comparison between the novel and conventional system was made under the same operating conditions. Also, a comparison of the system performances with environment friendly refrigerants (R290, R600a, R717, R134a, R152a, and R141b) is made. The theoretical results show that the COP of the novel cycle is better than the conventional system.
