Description

Mixed refrigerant and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of refrigeration, and particularly relates to a mixed refrigerant and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The current focus of attention in the application market of refrigerants is changed from eliminating Ozone Depletion Substances (ODS) to pushing substitution of high-temperature-effect potential (GWP) products, and the demands of low-GWP substitution refrigerants in different application fields such as air conditioners, commercial refrigeration, heat pumps and the like are becoming more vigorous and urgent.
Taking the refrigerant R404A as an example, the refrigerant R404A is a medium-low temperature refrigerant widely used at present, and has no damage to an ozone layer, so that the refrigerant R404A has long been used as a long-term substitute for the refrigerant R502 and is often applied to refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators, food freezing equipment, marine refrigeration equipment, industrial low-temperature refrigeration, commercial low-temperature refrigeration, transportation refrigeration equipment (refrigerated vehicles and the like), refrigeration condensing units, supermarket showcases and the like.
However, the GWP value of the refrigerant R404A is as high as 3922, and with further enhancement of the refrigerant management and control with high GWP value at home and abroad, HFCs refrigerant such as R404A faces reduction and elimination, so it is necessary to find a refrigerant with good environmental protection performance (low GWP value), and the refrigeration performance is equivalent to or even better than that of R404A, so as to maximally meet the requirements of environmental protection and high efficiency of the refrigerant.
The related literature discloses a composition containing a polyfluoroolefin and HFC-32 as a substitute for R404A, which, while effectively reducing GWP values and possessing good performance, contains about 40 mass percent of Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and a flame retardant component R125 < 20%, which results in relatively expensive overall costs and lower safety levels. Still other related documents disclose a composition comprising from about 17% to about 40% by weight HFC-32; about 51 to about 83 weight percent tetrafluoropropene; about 0 wt% to about 9wt% CO 2 As a substitute for R404A, with CO 2 The duty ratio is increased, the refrigerating capacity is improved, but the discharge pressure is increased and higher than R404A, and a certain modification is needed to the refrigerating system.

As can be seen from table 3, at the set operating conditions: the mixed refrigerant provided in examples 1 to 8 of the present invention has excellent refrigerating performance at the evaporation temperature of-40 c, the condensation temperature of 40 c and the superheat degree of the evaporator of 5 c, and has a lower sliding temperature than the refrigerant R404A provided in comparative example 1, so that the heat exchanger in the refrigerating system is not required to be changed in the process of replacing the refrigerant (e.g., the refrigerant R404A) in the prior art.
Further, it is seen from the data in Table 3 that the refrigerating capacity of the present invention is larger than R404A, and the refrigerating capacity per unit volume is 85% -101% of R404A. COP (coefficient of performance) data results are very similar to R404A, the safety level is A1 or A2L, and the above results are combined to show that the invention meets the basic condition of replacing R404A.
Table 4 is experimental data tested under the same conditions using a cryocooler with an R404A refrigeration system, the experimental conditions being: ambient temperature: 11 ℃; compressor model: danfoss SC10CL with a discharge capacity of 7.27cm 3 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Refrigerant charge: 192 g; spatial volume: 270L. As can be seen from the results in Table 4 and Table 5, the invention can normally operate in the R404A refrigeration system, and can achieve the refrigeration effect close to R404A, the power consumption of the 24-hour experimental equipment of the refrigerator of the embodiment 3 is 3.42/KW.h, which is lower than that of R404A. Namely, under the condition that the refrigerating system is not changed and lubricating oil is not replaced, the volume refrigerating capacity of the refrigerating system is 0.88 relative to R404A, and the relative COP is 0.94, which is relatively close to theoretical calculation data. As can be seen in conjunction with fig. 1, the vapor pressures of the mixed refrigerants provided by the present invention (especially examples 2 and 5) and R404A are quite similar, thus facilitating direct replacement without requiring modification of existing refrigeration systems.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a mixed refrigerant, comprising the steps of:
taking pentafluoroethane, difluoromethane, difluoroethane and 2, 3-tetrafluoropropene for physical mixing in a liquid phase state, wherein the mass percentages of the pentafluoroethane, the difluoromethane, the difluoroethane and the 2, 3-tetrafluoropropene are as follows: 40-60%, 10-35%, 5-25% and 5-20%.
The embodiment of the preparation method of the mixed refrigerant comprises the embodiment of the mixed refrigerant, and the beneficial effects of the mixed refrigerant can be equally applicable to the preparation method of the mixed refrigerant.
Wherein the pentafluoroethane accounts for 40-50% by mass. In other embodiments, the pentafluoroethane may also be 45%, 50%, or 55% by mass.
Wherein the mass percentage of difluoromethane is 20-30%. In other embodiments, difluoromethane may also be 15%, 20%, 25%, or 30% by mass.
Wherein the difluoroethane accounts for 10-20% by mass. In other embodiments, the difluoroethane may also comprise 8%, 10%, 12%, 15%, or 22% by mass.
Wherein the 2, 3-tetrafluoropropene accounts for 5-15% by mass. In other embodiments, the 2, 3-tetrafluoropropene may also comprise 7%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 13%, 15%, or 17% by mass.
The mixed refrigerant prepared by the preparation method provided by the invention has a lower GWP value (lower than 2051), 40-60% lower than that of the refrigerant R404A, and has similar physical properties (for example, the physical properties are similar to those of the refrigerant R404A) compared with the existing refrigerant, so that lubricating oil does not need to be replaced in the replacement process, a refrigerating system does not need to be greatly changed, and in addition, the mixed refrigerant provided by the invention has the advantages of low toxicity, easily obtained raw materials, low cost and the like.
It will be apparent that the embodiments described above are merely some, but not all, embodiments of the invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make other different changes or modifications without making any creative effort, which shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
