Amidst tightening requirements for eliminating CFC's, HCFC's,
halons, and HFC's from use in air conditioning and heat pumps, the
search began for replacements that are environmentally benign,
non-flammable, and similar to the banned refrigerants in
system-level behavior. Refrigerant mixtures are increasingly used
as working fluids because they demonstrate desirable thermodynamic,
feasibility, and safety characteristics.
Vapor Compression Heat Pumps with Refrigerant Mixtures provides
the first comprehensive, single-source treatment of working fluid
mixtures and their applications in vapor compression systems. The
authors explain in detail the thermodynamics of refrigerant
mixtures, which is vastly more complex than that of individual
refrigerants, as well as the fundamentals of various refrigeration
cycles and methods for improving their efficiency. They also
include important discussions on heat transfer and pressure drop
correlations, experimental performance measurements and examples of
using refrigerants and their mixtures, and critical operational
issues such as control issues, refrigerant mixing, and mass
fraction shifts.
Assembling reviews of the scattered literature on the subject
and reflecting two decades of research by the authors, Vapor
Compression Heat Pumps with Refrigerant Mixtures prepares you to
design and implement systems that take the best advantage of fluid
mixtures, confronting the challenges and grasping the opportunities
that they present.
