Abstract |
The paper discusses the performance of hydrocarbons in a household refrigerator/freezer (R/F). It focuses on the utilization of specific hydrocarbons (propane and isobutane) as drop-in replacements for CFC-12 in household R/Fs. Results from this experimental work can be extrapolated to R/F applications in developing countries. The charge and capillary tube length have been optimized for CFC-12 and each hydrocarbon composition; no other modifications were made to the R/F. Numerical evaluations show that several compositions come near to the performance of CFC-12. Also, experimental evaluation shows that some hydrocarbon compositions' energy consumption is equal to or less than that of CFC-12 (i.e., 60/40%, 70/30%, and 80/20% by weight of isobutane/propane). |
