Study on Performances of Refrigeration-Type Compressed-Air Dryers Using Environmentally-Friendly Refrigerants R717, R290 and R600a

Abstract:

The coefficient of performance (COP), the volumetric refrigeration capacity and the pressure ratio of the refrigeration cycle were calculated for a refrigeration-type compressed-air dryer using natural environmentally friendly refrigerants R717, R290 and R610a and compared with those using R22. Study shows that in the working condition of a refrigeration-type compressed-air dryer the COP and volumetric refrigeration capacity using R717 are 5% and 11% higher than those using R22 respectively and COP using R290 is equal to 98% of COP using R22 and the volumetric refrigeration capacity is equal to 85% of that using R22. Although COP using R600a is 2% higher than that using R22, the volumetric refrigeration capacity is much lower than that using other refrigerants above mentioned. R717 and R290 are recommended as appropriate substitute refrigerants for R22 in a refrigeration-type compressed-air dryer.
