Abstract

This paper presents experimental data on heat transfer of a binary zeotropic mixture of refrigerants R32/R134a in a microchannel heat exchanger with a high specific surface within a range of parameters that is practically important for the development of cooling systems for microelectronics and space technology. The experiments were carried out in a horizontal heat exchanger with one-sided heating of a copper microchannel plate 20x40 mm, containing 21 rectangular microchannels with a cross-section of 335x930 μm, within the range of mass fluxes from 80 to 250 kg/m2s, and at an absolute pressure in the system ranged from 12 to 14 bar. A zeotropic mixture of refrigerants R32/R134a with a molar concentration of the initial mixture of 65%/35% was used as a working fluid. Experimental data were compared with model-based calculations that take into account the influence of changes in the concentrations of components in the liquid and gas phases.
