Abstract
Natural refrigerants, low-GWP synthetic F-gas and mixtures in contact with lubricating oils in commercial air or heat-pumps were selected to study mutual solubility and miscibility in the temperature range from 248.15 K to 353.15 K. Due to restriction from F-gas regulation 2024 of the European commission (https://climate.ec.europa.eu), stress was put on the natural refrigerants and an industrial compressor oil. UNIFAC parameterization based on available experimental data was performed for systems comprising POE oils, HCFC, HFC, HFO, hydrocarbon, CO2, and ionic liquids. Also, it has been shown that the UNIFAC parameters developed in this study can readily be applied to the selective separation of refrigerant mixtures using Ionic Liquids. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of solvation free energy support the selectivity of ILs.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling.
As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews.
Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
