Description

Energy-saving environment-friendly hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant directly replacing R134a and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of refrigerants, and particularly relates to an energy-saving environment-friendly hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant directly replacing R134a and application thereof.
Background
R134a is widely used in refrigeration systems such as refrigerators, freezers, automobile air conditioners, and large-scale water chilling units because of its non-toxicity, non-flammability, non-destruction to the ozone layer, and excellent thermal properties. However, as environmental concerns become more and more important, the use of R134a is beginning to be increasingly limited due to its higher global warming potential. The european union stipulated in 2004 that, since 2011, the GWP value of a refrigerant used in a vehicle air-conditioning system newly introduced by the european union country must be less than 150, and that starting in 2017, the use of a refrigerant having a GWP value of more than 150 for a vehicle air-conditioning system will be prohibited; moreover, the under-control of HFCs with high temperature chamber effect is enhanced by the under-control of the HFCs in 2016, and the use of the refrigerant such as R134a will be greatly reduced in the future. Indeed, in the field of refrigerator-freezers, R134a has been substantially replaced by the more environmentally friendly and energy efficient R600a refrigerant, in addition to small quantities of freezer still using R134a refrigerant.
However, the R600a replaces the R134a, so that the problems that the R600a has small refrigerating capacity per unit volume and the displacement of the R600a compressor needs to be larger under the same refrigerating capacity condition exist, or the refrigerating capacity per unit volume is close to that of the R600a compressor, but the COP value is not as good as that of the R600a compressor. In recent years, many researchers have developed refrigerant mixtures, and particularly, refrigerant mixtures of R290, and the like and R600a have been studied to find more suitable alternative refrigerants.
Application publication No. CN102775964A proposes a hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant composed of 63-100% of propane and 0-37% of isobutane, CN105441030A proposes a hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant composed of 60-100% of propane and 0-40% of isobutane, CN 101270274A proposes a hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant composed of 54-65% of propane and 30-40% of isobutane with 3-8% of lubricating oil, CN1740262A proposes two hydrocarbon mixed refrigerants respectively composed of 54% of propane and 45.5% of isobutane with 0.5% of tetrahydrothiophene, a hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant composed of 61% of propane and 38.5% of isobutane with 0.5% of tetrahydrothiophene, CN 101402847A proposes a hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant composed of 80-89% of propane and 11-20% of isobutane and CN 107603566A proposes a hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant composed of 66-100% of propane and 0-34% of isobutane, and the common characteristics of these mixed refrigerants are that the proportion of propane is larger than that of isobutane, the higher the refrigerating capacity per unit volume and the higher the exhaust temperature, and the larger the proportion of propane, the higher the refrigerating capacity per unit volume (much higher than that of R134 a), the lower the bubble point temperature at standard atmospheric pressure (much lower than the boiling point temperature of R134 a), and actually the closer to the case of R290 instead of R22, and the higher the exhaust temperature. Patent application No. CN 103604040A proposes a hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant consisting of 30% propane and 70% isobutane, and a canning step and a discharging step thereof, and does not specifically describe the characteristics, key parameters, performance and the like of the hydrocarbon mixed refrigerant. Patent application No. CN113004870A also proposes a mixed refrigerant of propane (R290) and isobutane (R600a) or butane (R600), but the object of this invention is confusing or unclear from the inventive examples. In examples 4 to 9 (where R290 and R600a are mixed) in table 3 of the description of the invention, the ratios of theoretical COPs to theoretical COPs of R134a refrigerant are both below 108%, the lowest is only 103%, the efficiency improvement rate is limited, the energy saving effect is not obvious, especially the refrigerating capacity per unit volume varies greatly, from only 72% to 130% of the refrigerating capacity per unit volume of R134a, and when the refrigerating capacity per unit volume differs greatly (exceeding 7%, namely the measurement error allowed by national standard), the compressor cannot be directly replaced by R134a (small, insufficient refrigerating capacity, failure in meeting design requirements; excessive, refrigerating capacity and energy waste), and the compressor needs to be redesigned.

Detailed Description
The principles and features of this invention are described below in conjunction with examples which are set forth to illustrate, but are not to be construed to limit the scope of the invention.
In the specific implementation of the invention, the used refrigerants R290 and R600a are all commonly used refrigerants in the technical field of refrigeration and low temperature, wherein the mass percentage concentration of R290 is 32-38%, and the mass percentage concentration of R600a is 68-62%.
Example one
R290 and R600a refrigerants commonly used in the refrigerant field are taken, and 32 mass percent of R290 and 68 mass percent of R600a are fully and physically mixed in a liquid phase state to obtain the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant.
Example two
Taking R290 and R600A refrigerants commonly used in the refrigerant field, and taking 35 mass percent of R290 and 65 mass percent of R600a to fully and physically mix in a liquid phase state to obtain a non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant.
EXAMPLE III
R290 and R600a refrigerants commonly used in the refrigerant field are taken, and 38 percent by mass of R290 and 62 percent by mass of R600a are fully and physically mixed in a liquid phase state to obtain the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant.
To compare the performance, theoretical cycle calculations for refrigerator conditions were performed using the above example with R134 a. Theoretical cycle calculation of the refrigerant in a refrigeration system is carried out according to the standard working conditions (evaporation temperature is-23.3 ℃, condensation temperature is 54.4 ℃, supercooling temperature is 32.2 ℃, and superheating temperature is 32.2 ℃) of a refrigerator of American ASHRAE standard (international universal standard), wherein the compression process is isentropic compression.
The theoretical cycle calculation mainly aims at the pressure, the pressure ratio, the theoretical compression compressor outlet temperature, the unit volume refrigerating capacity, the performance coefficient, the boiling point (bubble point) temperature and other key parameters for relevant comparison, and the comparison parameter results are shown in table 2:
table 2: theoretical cycle calculation parameter of refrigerator working condition
Figure BDA0003357151250000051
In addition to the fundamental reason that this replacement must be environmentally friendly, it must also satisfy a coefficient of performance that is comparable or greater (this factor also relates to the environment (energy savings can reduce carbon dioxide emissions)) when performing the refrigerant replacement. From the perspective of compressor operating conditions, lower discharge temperatures are more favorable to compressor operation and reliability; from the viewpoint of compressor efficiency, the smaller the compression ratio, the better; the cooling capacity per unit volume should be comparable or slightly greater from the standpoint of enabling direct replacement.
The GWP value of the embodiment of the invention is less than 20 (actually, R290 and R600a are natural substances and can be ignored), and the refrigerant has no damage of ozone layer damage, and is a mixed refrigerant meeting the long-term environmental protection and energy saving requirements in the future.
As can be seen from a comparison of R134a in table 2 with the parameters of the examples of the present invention in the refrigeration cycle:
1. compared with a substitute R134a, under the working condition of international common refrigerator and freezer standards, the coefficient of performance (COP) of the embodiment of the invention is higher than that of R134a by about 10 percent, and the embodiment of the invention has obvious energy-saving effect;
2. the embodiment of the invention has lower condensation pressure and higher evaporation pressure, and the compression ratio is only about 74 percent of R134a, thus effectively reducing the leakage in the compressor, improving the efficiency of the compressor and prolonging the service life of the compressor;
3. the theoretical exhaust (outlet) temperature of the compressor is lower by about 14 ℃ compared with that of R134a, so that the compressor is favorable for running, the carbonization (burning) of lubricating oil of the compressor can be effectively avoided, the running reliability of the compressor is improved, and the possibility of applying the compressor to a higher-temperature environment is provided;
4. the refrigerating capacity per unit volume of the embodiment of the invention is equivalent to or slightly higher than that of R134a, the compressor does not need to be redesigned, and R290 and R600a both have good compatibility with lubricating oil commonly used by R134a and can be directly used for replacing R134 a;
5. because R290 and R600a have certain flammability, the bubble point temperature of the embodiment of the invention at 1 standard atmosphere (the temperature at which the liquid of the embodiment starts to evaporate at 1 standard atmosphere) is slightly lower than the boiling point temperature of R134a by 1.44-2.37 ℃, which is beneficial to preventing the risk of air leakage caused by the occurrence of the compressor under the ambient pressure.
6. The molecular weight of the invention is far less than that of R134a, the fluidity is good, and the loss along the way to the system is smaller; the liquid has large heat conductivity coefficient, is beneficial to heat transfer of the heat exchanger, has high heat transfer efficiency, and is beneficial to further improving the coefficient of performance (COP value) and more beneficial to energy conservation and emission reduction.
In summary, the following steps: the invention meets the use requirements of various international agreements nowadays, can be applied to a refrigeration system adopting R134a as a refrigerant to replace R134a, and particularly directly replaces R134a in the field of refrigerator and freezer.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
