Abstract
An analysis for evaluating the possible advantage of adopting a suction/liq uid heat exchanger, from a thermodynamic point of view, is carried out. To this purpose, a simplified criterion is prented; this is also validated for many working fluids such as chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)s, hydrochlorofluoroca rbon (HCFC)s and substitutes on the basis of their thermodynamic properties available in scientific and commercial literature. The criterion is also p resented in a graphical form and two examples, referred to as R502 and R32, are given. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
