Features: This book focuses on green and environmentally friendly refrigerants as the primary research objects, with commercialized, eco-friendly natural and synthetic working fluids as the selection targets, and investigates the issue of refrigerant alternatives. The main research contents are as follows:
A comprehensive review and analysis of background issues related to the depletion of the atmospheric ozone layer and the greenhouse effect were conducted, examining the relationship between ozone layer depletion and climate change, as well as the connection between greenhouse gases and ozone loss.
A thorough analysis of the energy-saving mechanisms of refrigerants was carried out. Through literature review and theoretical analysis, the current performance of refrigerants in cycles was evaluated comprehensively, while the energy-saving performance of refrigerants was also comparatively analyzed theoretically, providing a basis for the selection and use of energy-efficient refrigerants.
Detailed discussions were provided on the theoretical calculations of various refrigerant performance parameters, with the RKS2 equation used as an example to perform performance calculations for new green and environmentally friendly refrigerants.
This book can serve as a reference for design and research personnel in the refrigerator and air conditioning industry, as well as an extracurricular teaching material for students majoring in refrigeration and air conditioning engineering, thermal energy and power engineering, and environmental science and engineering.
