Characteristics Of High-Quality Refrigerants
Refrigerants are substances that change from liquid to gas to lower the temperature of the appliance. This chemical process is used repeatedly in refrigerators, air conditioners, and other machines to keep the contents inside cool at all times.
Different refrigerants are used depending on the location, type of machine, and application of the item being refrigerated. The following are the characteristics that a good refrigerant should have.
Boiling point
The boiling point of the substance used as a refrigerant should be within a specific range suitable for the machine in which it is used. Refrigerants with lower boiling points tend to have better cooling capacity. Refrigerants with higher boiling points tend to be more efficient and can work well in smaller machines. Most refrigerants have boiling points between -27.4 and -49 degrees Fahrenheit, although some have boiling points as high as 48.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
Non-toxic
If no toxicity is found at concentrations below 400 parts per million, the refrigerant is classified as a Class A refrigerant. If toxicity is found in this small amount, the substance is a Class B refrigerant. Class 1 refrigerants are completely non-flammable, Class 2 are moderately flammable, and Class 3 substances are highly flammable.
A good refrigerant has the right combination of safety and functionality. For example, in ordinary household refrigerators, Class A and Class 1 substances are used. In industrial environments where more safety measures are in place and more refrigeration is required, Class B and Class 2 refrigerants are often used.
Stability
The refrigerant must be a stable substance that will not decompose under the pressure and temperature of the refrigeration system. Less stable substances can swell, embrittle or dissolve plastics used in motor and system seals.
Refrigerants should also not react chemically with lubricants and other substances in the refrigerator. Initially, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were used as refrigerants until they were found to be unstable in contact with ozone particles in the upper atmosphere.
Odor
Good refrigerants are odorless at low concentrations, so appliances are always chemical-free. This refrigerant also has a distinct odor at higher concentrations, so when chemical leaks occur in equipment, they can be quickly identified. Many refrigerants leak with an odor similar to carbon tetrachloride, which smells like chemicals used in dry cleaners.
The above describes the characteristics that high-quality refrigerants should have. If you need to buy high-quality refrigerants, please contact us.
Refrigerant Gas FAQ
- If I am putting in the whole refrigerant bottle, can I feed vapor then?You can feed vapor, however, at any point in time the compressor will be seeing the wrong composition gas. At first the vapor will be rich in the higher pressure, higher capacity component. This will cause high discharge pressure and temperature, high motor amps, etc. As the cylinder empties, the compressor will see the lower capacity gas which is left behind, changing the operating conditions the other way.
It will take some time for the "locally fractionated" gas to get mixed back into the original composition. Besides, if you need to charge the whole bottle, it's faster to put it in as a liquid. - If a blend leaks out of the system, will I need to pull the remaining charge and recharge, or can IIt depends. Studies were done a few years ago to show how higher glide blends behave during leakage and they showed significant fractionation, which affected the properties of the blend. When the system was topped off, the properties came back close to original. The cycle was repeated to see how many times the system could leak before topping off became a problem (the recommendation was not more than five). These studies were done on containers at rest, which promotes the worst case of fractionation.
Another study was performed recently on a system running full time, then cycling normally (2/3 on, 1/3 off), which found that the blend did not fractionate when the refrigerant is moving around inside, and not much fractionation occurred when cycling. Low-glide blends didn't show much fractionation in any case.
What this means is that running systems found to be low on charge have probably not fractionated the blend much, and can be repaired and recharged directly. If the system has been off for a long period (more than a day) and found to have leaked (worst case is about half the charge), it's best to pull what's left and charge with fresh, unless very little is gone, or very little is left. Low-glide blends won't cause any fractionation-related problems. - Why do bubbles appear in the sight glass when I use a blend? Does this mean I don't have enough refrThere are several reasons for bubbles in the sight glass. If one of the traditional refrigerants showed vapor in the sight glass it often meant there wasn't enough liquid refrigerant being fed to the valve, and more refrigerant was added to the system.
Blends could show flashing for the same reason, however, they can also flash when there is plenty of liquid in the receiver. Ironically, this liquid in the receiver could be causing the problem, particularly when the equipment is in a hot environment. Blends will come out of the condenser slightly subcooled — at a temperature below the saturated temperature of the blend at the existing high side pressure.
Yet when the blend sits in the receiver, it can "locally fractionate," or change composition slightly by shifting one of the components into the vapor space of the receiver. This will effectively produce a saturated liquid in the receiver, at the same pressure you had before, which flashes when it hits the expanded volume of the sight glass. In most cases these bubbles will collapse when the blend gets back into the tubing which feeds the valve, and the system will operate just fine.
Check other system parameters such as pressures, superheat and amperage to confirm whether you have the right charge. Don't rely solely on the sight glass. - Why are there two columns on a PT chart, and how are they used?The two columns on the PT chart give the liquid and vapor pressures at the listed temperatures. Single component refrigerants and azeotropic blends have bubble points and dew points equal to each other, and we simply call this the boiling point. When there is only one column on the PT chart, low glide blends would have very similar numbers in the two columns, and often the PT chart will only have one column as well for them.
How a two-column PT chart is used is straightforward. Most times you're interested in knowing the saturated temperature of the refrigerant at the system pressure, so you can compare it to a measurement you're making on the system (for example, to check a superheat or subcool setting). Simply keep track of the condition of the refrigerant where you're measuring, and cross-reference the same side of the PT chart.
Superheat measurements check the line temperature of superheated refrigerant vapor coming out of the evaporator versus the saturated vapor temperature, so you would use the vapor side of the PT chart.
Subcool measurements check the temperature of subcooled liquid refrigerant coming out of the condenser versus the saturated liquid temperature, so you would use the liquid side of the PT chart. - What is FEP material?FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) is a tough, flexible copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. It is often used for flexible tubing and fluid processing equipment when chemical resistance, high purity, and low stiffness are required. FEP has outstanding electrical properties and UV resistance.
