`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`BACKGROUND
`{0001]
`The present invention relates to .50 “C following ultra-low temperature refrigerant, and
`mixed with, especially in combination with a high—boiling refrigerant which imparts properties
`to enable operating at a low boiling point refrigerant and room environment in order to
`achieve ultra-low temperature about the nonvazeotropic refrigerant.
`BACKGROUND ART
`[0002]
`Currently, the refrigerant used in the refrigeration system, the use of so-called CFCs to be
`the destruction cause of the ozone layer is inhibited, also the use of large fluorocarbons of
`influence as a greenhouse gas is being restricted. For this reason, has been studied in order to
`use the refrigerant Freon or hydrocarbon systems other than these CFCs, there is a limit to
`the type of refrigerant that can be used as a refrigeration system to achieve -50 °C following
`of ultra~low temperature .
`Therefore, to achieve the extremely low temperature of interest, respectively, or a
`combination of refrigeration apparatus system operating independently, by its heat of
`vaporization by vaporizing the two or more kinds of refrigerants are mixed in multiple stages
`by using two or more kinds of refrigerants condensing the refrigerant of low boiling point,
`although methods have been tried, such as to inevitably a complex structure.
`There is also a method to be applied to refrigeration apparatus system which operates by
`simple single condensing—vaporizing process is adjusted to the characteristics of interest by
`mixing two or more kinds of refrigerants contrast, many of these mixed refrigerants Because it
`has a non-azeotropic properties, it is difficult to continue stable operation continuously.
`These non-azeotroplc properties, pressure, coexist with a liquid phase and a gaseous phase
`over a wide range of temperatures, also the composition of these phases varies with changes
`in temperature and pressure etc., because it has unique properties, these resulting in a state
`where each of the under temperature and pressure, which corresponds to the process and the
`different liquid phase of the composition in each and the gas phase coexist in the refrigeration
`apparatus system to be applied to the refrigeration system.
`Therefore, it is necessary to provide a gas~|iquid separator in the process leading to the
`evaporator and the compressor, also, since the vapor~|iquid equilibrium conditions also
`changes the load in accordance with the refrigerator operating conditions, such as changes to
`be cooled and the outside air temperature , and not yet in its popular for more complex
`control is required.

`According to this system, the refrigerant exhibiting as a mixture non-azeotropic properties
`and capable of condensing the refrigerant in a low—boiling refrigerant and a room temperature
`environment for realizing ultra-low temperature, simple Centralized single-stage refrigeration
`device system in the room temperature environment Accordingly, there is the extremely low
`temperature is achievable, in consideration of the pressure conditions to allow operation in a
`practicable range of pressure as the compressor, the characteristics of the refrigerant, may be
`selected composition.
`Furthermore, the present inventors have R-23 as refrigerant to achieve extremely low
`temperature of interest previously (trifluoromethane: CHF 3 ) and R-116 (perfiuoroethane: C 2
`F 6 ) a selected, whereas The proposed non-azeotropic refrigerant in which a combination of
`normal butane as a high‘boiling refrigerant can be condensed in the room temperature.

`R—23 and R—116, which is a so~ca|led Freon, without destroying the ozone layer because it
`does not contain chlorine, with recovery obligations imposed by the subject of global warming
`potential is high for CFC Recovery and Destruction Law It is a usable gas which have to exhibit
`good characteristics in order to achieve —50 “C less ultra low temperature as shown in Table 1.
`Normal butane, which combined with these, the normal boiling point as shown in Table 1 is
`in the vicinity of room temperature, under a pressure for condensing the refrigerant to easily
`condense at room temperature. Furthermore, normal butane, the vapor pressure was due to
`very low and can be expected to reduce the vapor pressure of the refrigerant mixture by
`combining a low—boiling refrigerant.
`In particular, since a very high R-116 and R—23 and both vapor pressure, and in that the
`condensation process is anyway or be expected to be a pressure that exceeds the practical
`limit of the compressor
`Et al., Since it can not be expected practically unless reduces the vapor pressure of the
`mixed refrigerant, it is important to reduce the vapor pressure.
`[0006]
`In order to apply to the refrigeration system as a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture, and
`temperature conditions of room temperature 20 “C or more 1. A sufficient amount of heat to
`operate the refrigeration system A is no need to form a rich condensed phase of the high-
`boillng components are discharged into the atmosphere by the discharge pressure under the
`practicable compressors of several MPa or less, the due to its vaporization rich condensed
`phase of the high»boiling component is remained even under pressure through a subsequent
`evaporator in the heat exchanger, one. It is necessary to fully condense the rich gas phase of
`low boiling point components that are under the pressure of several MPa.
`Normal butane as those that conform to the refrigeration system, a normal boiling point is
`close to room temperature but is negative in discharge pressure of the practical limit near the
`compressor for the high vapor pressure of from its low-boiling components as a mixed
`refrigerant It was intended to operate the system.
`By the way, normal butane, which is obtained by adopting terms as described above,
`generally including such a fuel as a gas that is commercially available, isobutane isomers of
`butane are common, for convenience of the refrigerant procurement cost on it is also
`advantageous. However although both formulas are the same, the difference of the chemical
`structure of the isomers, the standard boiling point of isobutane is about 11 ”C is low as
`compared to normal butane as shown in Table 1, even the critical temperature is brought to it
`about 18 “C after low vapor pressure is also about twice of 0.22MPa.
`Therefore, characteristics of non—azeotropic refrigerants, it unpredictable as the arithmetic
`sum of the component composition, although the normal boiling point near room temperature
`as described above for normal butane, not having a margin a negative from, isobutane of
`acceptance or rejection from the results of using the normal butane can not be determined.

`
`Outside temperature: 273 ~ 32.5 "C
`Filling total amount of coolant (standard): 1659
`Heat exchange, use the ones from the high pressure of the refrigerant and the evaporator
`ranging from the condenser to the capillary is carried out between the refrigerant of low
`pressure leading to the compressor, of about 2m bound in side-by-side by the respective
`brazing copper tube through which a refrigerant did.
`Heat exchanger of this construction, although those small for improving the condensing
`efficiency of the conventionally refrigeration apparatus has been used, in the present invention
`is used as an about 2m to achieve the heat exchange conditions of the refrigeration system .
`It should be noted that the compressor pressure is a gauge pressure.
`[0013]
`The system configuration of the above, it was confirmed the characteristics of the non-
`azeotropic mixed refrigerant plus isobutane to R-23 and the R-116. To confirm the properties
`of these non—azeotropic mixed refrigerant, it performs actual operation by the refrigerant
`isobutane alone First, to confirm the characteristics of the non—azeotropic mixed refrigerant of
`R‘23 and R-116 based on the data.
`In addition, a R-23 and R-116 is critical temperature 259 ”C and 19.7 “C, respectively, and
`can not be used under properties on the room temperature environment of refrigerant, was
`operated a refrigeration device isobutane as a refrigerant, sequentially these confirmed the
`characteristics of the mixed refrigerant of low boiling point refrigerant is added, increase.
`[0014]
`(1) characteristics of isobutane alone refrigerant by the refrigeration unit system.
`Results from isobutane filling amount and the actual operation it is shown in Table 2 and
`Figure 2.
`Incidentally, "high pressure" is the compressor discharge pressure of the table in the
`compressor pressure, ”low pressure" is the pressure at the compressor inlet, "-" indicates that
`it is a low gauge pressure than the atmospheric pressure (hereinafter, the tables the same).
`Further, the compressor inlet temperature, since through a heat exchanger and is measured
`at a temperature of the refrigerant pipe is sucked into the compressor, little temperature has
`risen by the heat conduction from the compressor, the temperature of the refrigerant passing
`through the pipe It is believed to increase the number “C more than. Furthermore, since the
`capillary inlet temperature is the temperature of the pipe through the heat exchanger through
`which the refrigerant sent to the capillary (throttle valve), there are effects of heat transfer
`from both the heat exchanger and the capillary, from the heat exchanger influence of large,
`we think that appears to slightly higher than the refrigerant temperature.

`In Figure 2, almost become a constant inside temperature -30 “C in filling amount 409
`neighborhood, a state pressure also discharge pressure (high pressure) and the compressor
`suction side (low pressure) side both stable. Thus, the minimum loading capacity in actual
`operation, it is believed to about 409 or more, it becomes a negative pressure at the
`compressor suction side, thereby achieving a lower internal temperature than the normal
`boiling point of —11.7 “C isobutane.
`Filling amount of isobutane is further increased, rather the internal temperature exceeds
`120g rises, increase of decrease the suction pressure of the compressor discharge pressure to
`work simultaneously.
`In this case, it has caused a significant decrease in temperature of the heat exchanger as
`Tecchi Remarks, in a state that can not be vaporized in the evaporator, resulting an increase
`in suction pressure can be vaporized in the compressor suction side, also in the condenser

`These results it is shown in Figure 3.
`Effect of the addition of R~23 is to appear with the added amount increases, R~23z 30wt% in
`the vicinity of it reached —65 “C, it becomes constant at about -65 "C vicinity.
`More Become with the increase of the loading, the temperature conditions such as inside
`temperature to the vicinity of 60% is substantially constant, a slight increase slightly the
`pressure, particularly the pressure rise in the low pressure side can be seen, the refrigerant It
`is thought to be due to an increase in loading, the refrigeration system to operate, the effect
`of increasing the R-23 loading is nearly saturated, it is considered that there is a lack of other
`isobutane cooling capacity.
`It should be noted that the decrease of the capillary inlet temperature after the rise and the
`heat exchange of the discharge pressure of the compressor with these phenomena is
`observed, that the pressure rise for the decline and the condensation of the condensing
`temperature is integrated by an increase in R—23 It understood that.
`Thus the cooling effect of these mixed refrigerants is contained since it by heat exchange
`action of the isobutane to condense at room temperature environment, in order to confirm the
`cooling effect of the isobutane, the maximum 1509 constant R-23 content, more of isobutane
`to confirm the effect by increasing the amount above 1009. It shows the conditions and
`results are shown in Table 4 and Figure 4.

`As shown in Figure 4, an increase of isobutane its effect is to reduce the inside temperature
`is small, the compressor inlet temperature by rather heat exchange, the significant reduction
`of the capillary inlet temperature.
`That is, the cooling capacity of isobutane is sufficient, it is not utilized in the condensation of
`R-23 is a low—boiling—point refrigerant to lower the inside temperature, the limit even when
`viewed from the total filling amount, it can be said that.
`Therefore, in order to determine the non~azeotropic refrigerant capacity, as 60wt% which
`was the lowest Oven temperature before the isobutane content, it was confirmed optimum
`total filling amount.
`We The results are shown in Table 5 and Figure 5.

`From Table 5 and Figure 5, you can achieve the lowest temperature inside with isobutane
`60wt% vicinity, also from the fact that the total filling amount there is considerable tolerance,
`advantageous to match these conditions to actual capacity It is can be seen in.
`From the above results, the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant of R-23 and isobutane, is
`suitable for the above refrigeration system, it can be seen that it is possible operate the
`refrigeration apparatus system in a wide composition range.
`Because it is actual operation, the individual device—specific performance and heat exchanger
`capacity is influenced by such refrigerant charge, generally preferred composition range of the
`above results, isobutane for the R—23 is A possible application in the composition range of
`wide ratio, from isobutane 40wt% as ultra-low temperature for the refrigerant to
`approximately 80wt% is considered to be a practical range.
`Furthermore, the above experimental results, the characteristics of the R~23 - isobutane
`based non~azeotropic refrigerant is not any as compared to R—23 . normal butane-based non-
`azeotropic refrigerant are identified earlier comparable, surprisingly lower than the standard
`boiling point normal butane as described above to not interfere with the higher vapor
`pressure, it was found that the lower boiling point rather is advantageously act in the cooling
`effect.
`[0024]
`(3) characteristics of the non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture of R-116 and isobutane
`To confirm the effect of isobutane added to the R-116, shows the results sequentially added
`at log increments the R-116 with respect to isobutane (1009) in Table 6 and Figure 6.

`As is apparent from the figure, also in the combination of R-116 and isobutane, and has
`substantially the same tendency as the mixed refrigerant of R~23 and isobutane, compressor
`discharge pressure, as compared to the case of R-23 R In —116 pretty low.
`The internal temperature, 20wt% R—116 is (filling amount: 1309) reached in the vicinity of
`over 60 “C in the vicinity, R-116 is 50wt% (filling amount: 2009), stable up to about the
`temperature of —65 “C cold storage As will be reduced, further in to become unstable, the
`inside temperature lowering effect also tends to be saturated.
`Therefore, the results of an experiment by the addition by gradually increasing the R—116 in
`isobutane 1309 Table —7 and FIG.

`As shown in Fig -7, R-116: inside temperature is decreased in accordance with increases
`from 10wt%,
`But the effect appears to decrease the effects in 30wt% vicinity (isobutane 70wt%), rather
`isobutane from such as a decrease of rise and capillary inlet temperature for this of
`accompanying the discharge pressure to increase of the R—116: 70wt% cooling effect of
`isobutane in the vicinity of I is considered to be saturated.
`Therefore, we expect slightly cooling capacity of isobutane R-116: a 30wt% (isobutane
`70wt%) and to change and the effect of the total filling amount of refrigerant was confirmed

`From Table 8 and Figure 8, an increase of more than 1409 of refrigerant total filling amount,
`it does not contribute too much inside temperature drop. Rather, in combination with R-116, it
`features observed in suppressing low discharge pressure of the compressor.
`On the other hand, in the relationship with the total filling amount and the inside
`temperature of the coolant, these generally have a flat characteristic in the entire, wide range
