Abstract

The use of refrigerant mixture is an important subject of heat-pump technology and its research and developments have been promoted all over the world. We have tried to apply mixed refrigerants to air-conditioners, and developed an unique technology for efficiently separating and varying the mixing ratio of the refrigerants inside the refrigeration circuit. The mixed fluorinated refrigerants of R22-R13B1 were adapted to increase the heating capacity. Effects of shapes of packings and diameters of column were examined by an experimental apparatus of rectifier only, and a small rectifier with new coiled packings was developed. In the new circuit, the bottom of the rectifier is connected with condenser and evaporator by lines in parallel with expansion device. In the rectifying mode, the lower boiling-point refrigerant is stored in a reservoir connected to the top of the rectifier, and a main circuit is operated with the higher boiling-point refrigerant. Then the heating capacity, the input wattage and the fluid pressure of a heat-pump operating with the separated refrigerants are decreased to a lower level and its energy efficiency was improved through an inspection of the rectifying vapour generation method. The technique of estimating the composition of mixture operating in the circuit was developed, too, and the calculated values almost coincide with the experimetal values.
