Influence of Nano-Refrigeration-Oil on Saturated Vapor Pressure of R22

Abstract:

The saturated vapor pressures of R22 uniformly mixed with refrigeration oil and nano- refrigeration-oil were measured experimentally at a temperature range from 263 to 333K and mass fractions from 1 to 5%. The experimental results showed that the saturated vapor pressure of R22/KT56 mixture was lower than that of pure R22; the pressure deviation between them increased with a raising mass fraction of refrigeration oil and temperature. After adding nano-NiFe2O4 and nano-fullerene into KT56, the pressure deviation increased at the same mass fraction and temperature. A saturated vapor pressure correlation for R22 and refrigeration oil/nano-refrigeration-oil mixture was proposed, and the calculated values agreed with the experimental data within the deviation of ± 0.77%.
