Abstract
Detailed knowledge about the solubility of refrigerant in oil is essential for the design, operation, and long-term reliability of HVAC and refrigeration systems. Herein, as the leading candidates, the solubilities of R1234ze(E) in polyol ester (POE), polyvinylether (PVE), and polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oils were investigated using the isochoric saturation method at temperatures from 283 K to 353 K. The viscosity grade of the three base oils is ISO VG 68. Additionally, the Peng-Robinson (PR) + Wilson model was successfully applied to correlate the experimental data. The absolute average relative deviations between the experimental and calculated pressures for R1234ze(E) in POE, PVE, and PAG base oils were 1.56 %, 0.91 %, and 1.46 %, respectively. These results provide valuable physical property data for the selection of suitable oils in vapor compression refrigeration systems.
期刊介绍:
Fluid Phase Equilibria publishes high-quality papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research related to equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, solids, and interfaces. Subjects of interest include physical/phase and chemical equilibria; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermophysical properties; fundamental thermodynamic relations; and stability. The systems central to the journal include pure substances and mixtures of organic and inorganic materials, including polymers, biochemicals, and surfactants with sufficient characterization of composition and purity for the results to be reproduced. Alloys are of interest only when thermodynamic studies are included, purely material studies will not be considered. In all cases, authors are expected to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.
Experimental research can include measurements under all conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition, including critical and supercritical. Measurements are to be associated with systems and conditions of fundamental or applied interest, and may not be only a collection of routine data, such as physical property or solubility measurements at limited pressures and temperatures close to ambient, or surfactant studies focussed strictly on micellisation or micelle structure. Papers reporting common data must be accompanied by new physical insights and/or contemporary or new theory or techniques.
