Experimental Study on Ternary Mixed Refrigerant R600a + R1150 + R50 at Low Temperature
To explore the refrigeration performance of the ternary mixed refrigerant R600a/R1150/R50, an experimental setup was established based on the Linde-Hampso cycle refrigeration principle for experimental research, and the refrigeration characteristics of the ternary mixed refrigerant were comparatively analyzed. The experimental results indicate that when the optimal charging amount of the ternary mixed refrigerant (R600a/R1150/R50) is 161.8 g/26.2 g/2.0 g, the throttling temperature after stable operation is -94.6 ℃, the ambient temperature in the box is -87.1 ℃, the cooling capacity is 22 W, and the coefficient of performance (COP) is 0.043. In the ternary mixed working medium, with an increase in the high-temperature working medium (R600a), the performance of the regenerator is improved, and both the throttling temperature of the system and exhaust temperature gradually decrease. Under the premise of sufficient precooling, when the temperature before throttling does not reach the liquefaction temperature under the corresponding exhaust pressure of R1150, the addition of R1150 can reduce the pressure ratio, throttling temperature, and refrigeration flow rate of the system. Because the liquefaction temperature of R50 is too low under the exhaust pressure of a conventional refrigeration system, the pressure ratio increases and the mass flow rate decreases after adding the system. The experimental results have a certain guiding significance and reference value for the performance analysis of the Linde-Hampso cycle and the selection of mixed refrigerant charge ratios and system commissioning.
