Author(s)

G. Morrison

The recent surge of interest in nonazeotropic refrigerant mixtures has generated a need for correlation and prediction of liquid phase information for mixture. We show that the ideal mixture assumption (the linear weighting of pure liquid properties) can

Refrigerant Migration in a Split-Unit Air Conditioner

January 1, 1985

Author(s)

W. J. Mulroy, David Didion

The relationship between cyclic refrigerant migration and cyclic loss for a residential, split-system air conditioner has been investigated. The cyclic refrigerant migration was measured at different points in the operating cycle by simultaneously shutting
