Determination of the Thermal Stability of Organic Working Fluids Used in Rankine Cycle Systems. Final Test Plan

摘要

Plans are described for testing five dynamic loops in order to determine the thermal stability of the working fluids. The test configurations call for R-11 with and without a lubricant, R-113 with and without a lubricant, and R-114 without a lubricant. The loops are to be operated at a temperature where the degradation rate is small, and then the operating temperature is incremented by 25 exp 0 F until degradation occurs. The loop schematic is presented and major loop components are described, and are identical for all five loops. Procedures for sampling both liquids and gases for analysis are briefly described, as well as the possibility of capsule testing. (ERA citation 07:043019)
