medium; under these conditions heat transfer is established from the refrigerant vapor to the cooling medium with resultant condensation of the refrigerant. When condensed, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is reduced in pressure and again allowed tp boil in the evaporator.
Thermodynamically, a material for use as a refrigerant should have a large latent heat of vaporization since it is this heat quantity---subject to minor variations--which constitutes the working effectiveness of the refrigerant. Further, since the work required to compress a vapor increases rapidly with the pressure range, the thermodynamic character istics of the fluid should be such that the required low-to-high temperature range can be achieved withonly a moderate change in pressure. A further consideration, from the standpoint of practical operating effectiveness, is that the suction pressure should not be below atmospheric (to prevent leakage of air into the refrigerant lines) nor should the condenser pressure be excessively high (to prevent need for extra-heavy construction). The specific volume-specific enthalpy relationship is also important'because some materials'would have such low density, when, in vapor form, that impractical compressor displacements would be needed to handle the suction vapor.
Properties of refrigerants are usually given either in tabular or graphic form. In contrast to the temperature-entropy plotting which is used almost exclusively in steam-power work, refrigeration problems are usually referred to a pressure-enthalpy chart. The advantage of pressureenthalpy plotting is that linear distances on the chart correspond to energy gains or. losses and the two types of processes, constant-pressure and constant-enthalpy, which occur most frequently in refrigeration cycles, can both be represented by straight vertical or horizontal lines. Tabular arrangements of refrigerant properties have the disadvantage common to all point representations, in requiring interpolation between given values, but have the advantage of an accuracy greater than that obtainable from a chart. Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 give the thermo dynamic properties of seven of the more common refrigerants: dichlorodifluoromethane (F-12), monochlorodifluoromethane (F-22), methyl, chloride, ammonia, carbon dioxide, monofluorotrichloromethane (F-ll), and water; the first five of these materials are'commonly used in recipro cating compressors, the last two in centrifugal machines, while water also finds use in steam jet systems.
Referring to Table 1, the first column gives the range of saturation temperatures likely to occur in practice. The second column gives the saturation pressure expressed in pounds per square inch absolute corre sponding to a given temperature, while the next six columns give the three fundamental specific properties, volume, enthalpy, and entropy, of the saturated liquid and saturated vapor respectively. The last four columns give specific enthalpy and specific entropy for gases with 25 deg and with 50 deg of superheat; note' particularly that the column heading SO F superheat means, not that the gas is at a temperature of 50 F, but that its temperature exceeds by 50 deg the saturation tempera ture corresponding to its actual pressure. Thus F-12 vapor at 38.0 psig and 91 F possesses 50 deg of superheat since its saturation temperature corresponding to 52.7 psia is 41 F.
The tabular arrangements of refrigerant properties are literally for saturated or superheated materials only. In many cases, however, the engineer must work with sub-cooled liquids. With an accuracy sufficient for all practical purposes the specific volume and specific enthalpy of any
