Hermetic refrigerating compressors and CFC substitution
Abstract This paper presents a basic criterion for determining the most feasible substitute refrigerants for CFC 12 in small refrigerating hermetic compressors. The method includes a simple analysis of some physical and thermodynamic properties of each refrigerant within the ranges of evaporating and condensing temperatures in which small ...
