1、29.1CHAPTER 29 REFRIGERANTSRefrigerant Properties 29.1Refrigerant Performance 29.8Safety . 29.9Leak Detection 29.9Compatibility with Construction Materials 29.9EFRIGERANTS are the working fluids in refrigeration, air-R conditioning, and heat-pumping systems. They absorb heat fromone area, such as an
2、 air-conditioned space, and reject it into another,such as outdoors, usually through evaporation and condensation,respectively. These phase changes occur both in absorption andmechanical vapor compression systems, but not in systems operatingon a gas cycle using a fluid such as air. (See Chapter 2 f
3、or more infor-mation on refrigeration cycles.) The design of the refrigeration equip-ment depends strongly on the selected refrigerants properties. Tables1 and 2 list standard refrigerant designations, some properties, andsafety classifications from ASHRAE Standard 34.Refrigerant selection involves
4、compromises between conflictingdesirable thermophysical properties. A refrigerant must satisfy manyrequirements, some of which do not directly relate to its ability totransfer heat. Chemical stability under conditions of use is an essentialcharacteristic. Safety codes may require a nonflammable refr
5、igerantof low toxicity for some applications. Environmental consequences ofrefrigerant leaks must also be considered. Cost, availability, effi-ciency, compatibility with compressor lubricants and equipmentmaterials, and local and national regulations are other concerns.Latent heat of vaporization is
6、 another important property. On amolar basis, fluids with similar boiling points have almost the samelatent heat. Because compressor displacement is defined on a volu-metric basis, refrigerants with similar boiling points produce similarrefrigeration effect with a given compressor. On a mass basis,
7、latentheat varies widely among fluids. Efficiency of a theoretical vaporcompression cycle is maximized by fluids with low vapor heatcapacity. This property is associated with fluids having a simplemolecular structure and low molecular mass.Transport properties (e.g., thermal conductivity and viscosi
8、ty)affect performance of heat exchangers and piping. High thermalconductivity and low viscosity are desirable.No single fluid satisfies all the attributes desired of a refrigerant;consequently, various refrigerants are used. This chapter describesthe basic characteristics of various refrigerants, an

10、t releases from systems is important notonly because of environmental impacts, but also because chargelosses lead to insufficient system charge levels, which in turn resultsin suboptimal operation and lowered efficiency.Stratospheric Ozone Depletion. The stratospheric ozone layerfilters out the UV-B
11、 portion of the suns ultraviolet (UV) radiation.Overexposure to this radiation increases the risk of skin cancer,cataracts, and impaired immune systems. It also can damage sensi-tive crops, reduce crop yields, and stress marine phytoplankton (andthus human food supplies from the oceans). In addition
12、, exposure toUV radiation degrades plastics and wood.Stratospheric ozone depletion has been linked to the presence ofchlorine and bromine in the stratosphere. Chemicals with long atmo-spheric lifetimes can migrate to the stratosphere, where the mole-cules break down from interaction with ultraviolet
13、 light or throughchemical reaction. Chemicals such as CFCs and HCFCs releasechlorine, which reacts with stratospheric ozone.Ozone-depleting substances, including CFCs and HCFCs, are to bephased out of production under the Montreal Protocol (UNEP 2009).In the United States, production and importation
14、 of CFCs were bannedcompletely in 1996. HCFCs are being phased down, with completephaseout set for 2030. In 2010, to meet the Montreal Protocol phase-down schedule, U.S. regulations banned production and importationof HCFC-142b and HCFC-22 for use in new equipment. ReclaimedCFC and HCFC refrigerants
15、 that meet the requirements of AHRIStandard 700 can continue to be used for servicing existing systems.A complete list of U.S. regulations for CFC and HCFC refrigerants,including phaseout schedules, may be found at http:/www.epa.gov/ozone/strathome.html. Phaseout schedules for CFCs and HCFCs forboth
16、 developed and developing countries are summarized on theOzone Secretariat web site at http:/ozone.unmfs.org/new_site/en/Treaties/control_measures_summary.php.Global Climate Change. The average global temperature isdetermined by the balance of energy from the sun heating the earthand its atmosphere
17、and of energy radiated from the earth and theatmosphere to space. Greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as CO2andwater vapor, as well as small particles trap heat at and near the sur-face, maintaining the average temperature of the Earths surfaceabout 61F warmer than would be the case if these gases and par
18、ti-cles were not present (the greenhouse effect).Global warming (also called global climate change) is a concernbecause of an increase in the greenhouse effect from increasing con-centrations of GHGs attributed to human activities. The major GHG ofconcern is CO2released to the atmosphere when fossil
19、 fuels (coal, oil,and natural gas) are burned for energy. Methane (CH4), nitrous oxide(N2O), CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, hydrofluoroethers (HFEs), hydrofluo-roolefins (HFOs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), nitrogen trifluoride(NF3), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) are also GHGs.In 1988, the United Nations Environmen
20、t Programme (UNEP)and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) established theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide anobjective source of information about the causes of climate change,its potential environmental and socioeconomic consequences, andthe adaptation and mitigati
21、on options to respond to it. According toIPCC (2007a), atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide hasincreased by more than 35% over the past 250 years, primarily fromburning fossil fuels, with some contribution from deforestation.Concentration of methane has increased by over 145%, and nitrousoxid
22、e by about 18%.
