Abstract

R1270 is considered a suitable alternative to chlorodifluoromethane (R22) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R134a) due to its environmentally friendly nature and comparable thermophysical properties. In compression refrigeration systems, the used lubricants need to be matched with alternative refrigerants and exhibit appropriate solubility. Therefore, in this study, the solubility of R1270 in three lubricants: polyalkylene glycol (PAG), polyolester (POE), and alkybenzene (AB) was measured using the isochoric saturation method at temperatures ranging from 283.15 to 323.15 K. Henry's constant was calculated to intuitively compare the solubility of R1270 in the three lubricants. The results indicate that R1270 is miscible with PAG46, POE68, and AB100 lubricants across the entire test temperature range, with the highest solubility observed in PAG46, while POE68 and AB100 exhibit similar solubility characteristics. Subsequently, the non-random two-liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model was applied to correlate the experimental solubility data. The significance of this study is to provide a reference for the selection of suitable lubricants for R1270 in various applications.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling. As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews. Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
