Abstract

The ability of zeotropic mixtures with a remarkable temperature glide to operate in liquid-recirculation systems is investigated and the results of an experimental comparison between the performances of the pure fluid R134a and the zeotropic mixture R32/134a (25/75% by mass) are presented. R134a performs slightly better in the liquid-recirculation mode than in the traditional dry-expansion mode; on the other hand, liquid-recirculation configuration has a detrimental effect on the zeotropic mixture's performance. The reason for this detrimental effect is the mixture component separation which occurs at the liquid/vapor separator. The effect of this separation is investigated using gas chromatograph analysis.
