R. Dorantes et A. Lallemand, PREDICTION OF PERFORMANCE OF A JET COOLIN G SYSTEM OPERATING WITH PURE REFERIGERATING OR NONAZEOTROPIC MIXTURES, International journal of refrigeration, 18(1), 1995, pp. 21-30
This paper investigates a simple model of an ejector-compression refri
geration cycle and its applications to air conditioning. The efficienc
y of the machine using either classical refrigerants (R11, R22, R114),
other pure refrigerants (R123, R133a, R134a, R141b, R142b, R152a, RC3
18) or non-azeotropic mixtures is presented. The results suggest that,
for different temperatures of the heat source and the heat sink, the
entrainment ratio and the system efficiency depend mainly on the fluid
type and the mixture composition. An exergetic analysis shows that th
e major part of the exergy destruction takes place in the ejector, but
the boiler and condenser exergetic losses are significant too. Also s
tudied was the use of mixtures having a molecular weight in the power
loop different from that of the refrigerant loop, owing to a distillat
ion at the ejector output.
