Simulation of Performance of Chlorine-Free Fluorinated Ethers and FluorinatedHydrocarbons to Replace CFC-11 and CFC-114 in Chillers

摘要

The paper discusses simulation of the performance of chlorine-free fluorinatedethers and fluorinated hydrocarbons as potential long-term replacements for CFC-11 and -114. Modeling has been done with in-house refrigeration models based on the Carnahan-Starling-DeSantis Equation of State to determine the performance of these chlorine-free compounds in a variety of refrigeration applications. In the future, a standard compressor calorimeter using an oil-free diaphragm compressor will be used to evaluate the performance these chlorofluorocarbons and their proposed alternatives at EPA/AEERL's Stratospheric Ozone Refrigeration Laboratory at Research Triangle Park, NC.
