Performance investigation of domestic refrigerator using pure hydrocarbons and blends of hydrocarbons as refrigerants

A domestic refrigerator designed to work with R-134a was used as a test unit to asses the possibility of using hydrocarbons and their blends as refrigerants. Pure butane, isobutene and mixture of propane, butane and isobutene were used as refrigerants. The performance of the refrigerator using hydro...
