“…The results shows that Butane/Propane/R134a mixtures provide excellent performance parameters, such as COP of refrigerators, compression power, volumetric efficiency, condenser duty, compressor discharge pressure and temperature, relative to a 210 g charge of R12. S. Joseph Shekhar et al [11] had performed experimental analysis on a 165 liter, CFC-12 based domestic refrigerator retrofitted with eco-friendly refrigerant mixture of HFC134a / HC290 / HC600a without changing the mineral oil. The system had been running successfully for more than 12 months,…”

“…Fatouh and El Kafafy [22], examined experimentally the use of LPG as a drop-in replacement for a 100 g charge of R134a in a domestic refrigerator. The mass fractions of different constituents of LPG were 60% R290 and 40% R600.…”

“…The cooling capacity and COP are comparable to that of R12. Fatouh & Kafafy (2006) conducted experiment in a single evaporator domestic refrigerator using LPG of 60% propane and 40% commercial butane. Experimental results of the refrigerator using LPG of 60g and capillary tube length of 5m are compared with those using R134a of 100g and capillary tube length of 4m.…”

Abstract. In this paper, the performance of hydrocarbon mixture refrigerant R290/R600 (79/21 by wt %) has been analyzed as an alternative to R12 and R134a. Experiments are conducted with R12, R134a and R290/R600 mixture refrigerant at different condensing and evaporating temperatures and at various compressor speeds. Further, the statistical models are developed using design of experiments technique for the prediction of refrigeration system parameters such as refrigerating capacity, power consumption and coefficient of performance. The models developed are checked for their adequacy using F-test. The performances of vapour compression refrigeration system with various refrigerants R12, R134a and R290/R600 are compared. The R290/R600 mixture shows 19.3-27.9% higher coefficient of performance than that with R12 and R134a and it is found that the hydrocarbon mixture with 79% propane and 21% butane can be used as a substitute for R12 and R134a. .
