Determination of the Thermal Stability of Organic Working Fluids Used in Rankine-Cycle Power Systems for Solar Cooling. Program Period, October 1, 1980-December 1, 1982

摘要

Refrigerants R-11 and R-113 were tested in dynamic loops simulating Rankine-cycle power systems for solar cooling applications. Each fluid was tested with and without Zephron oil utilizing four loops. The goal of the testing was to determine the maximum boiler outlet temperature at which these fluids could be used for long-life systems in order to maximize performance. Acceptable temperature limits established were: R-11/Zephron Oil, <250 exp 0 F; R-11, 300 exp 0 F; R-113, >350 exp 0 F; and R-113/Zephron Oil, >330 exp 0 F. (ERA citation 09:004542)
