Modelling of capillary tubes behaviour with HCFC 22 ternary alternative refrigerants
In this paper, a numerical model is presented for predicting capillary tube performance using new ternary mixtures proposed as alternatives to R 22. The model has been established after the fluid flow conservation equations written for a homogeneous refrigerant fluid flow under saturated, subcooled and two- pase conditions. Numerical results showed that the proposed model in question fairly simulated experimental on ternary refrigerant mixtures and fairly predicted the capillary tube behaviour under the investigated; subcooled, saturated, and two-phase flow conditions.
