Improving the Energy Effectiveness of Domestic Refrigerators by the Application of Refrigerant Mixtures.

摘要

A critical review of US and foreign literature on the use of a mixture of refrigerants rather than a single one in a refrigeration unit indicates that energy can be conserved in properly arranged systems. An independent analytical study performed under the current contract using 50 percent mixture of R-12 and R-114 in a two-evaporator refrigerator typical of domestic refrigerators showed an energy savings of 12 percent.
