Title: Heat transfer evaluation of HFC-236ea and CFC-114 in condensation and evaporation. Final report, October 1992-March 1995

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:270187

The report gives results of a heat transfer evaluation of the refrigerants hexafluoropropane (HFC-236ea) and 1,1,2,2-dichloro-tetrafluoroethane (CFC-114). This research focuses on comparing the refrigerants not only in condesation and pool boiling, but also with various tube surfaces. The test facility used in this study was initially used for spray evaporation testing; however, it was redesigned and modified for use with condensation, pool boiling, or spray evaporation testing. During condensation, the rig was capable of producing saturated or superheated vapor. During pool boiling or spray evaporation, the test facility was capable of testing pure refrigerants or refrigerant/lubricant mixtures.
