The third replacement fluid tested is difluoromethane R32, an organic compound composed of one
carbon, two hydrogen and two fluorine atoms. R32 critical pressure and temperature are respectively
5.38 and 78.4. It belongs to the mildy flammable and non-toxic group A2L, its ODP is zero and its
GWP based on 100 year time frame is 675. Lower heat transfer coefficients than those of pure
refrigerant are reported at high nominal oil mass fractions. The HTF seems not affected by the
saturation temperature increase. Fig. 3.2: Experimental Pressure Drop Factor under different
refrigerant side saturation temperature conditions Fig. 3.2 depicts the Pressure Drop Factor as
function of the oil mass fraction circulating in the microchannel evaporator. Last, but not least, since
the Oil Retention Volume normalized is defined as the ratio between the oil retention mass and the
evaporator volume, another reason for Evaporator B lower ORVN values can be the larger
Evaporator B volume measured,, against Evaporator A volume, equal to. 3.2 R32, R1234yf and
DR5A comparison In the following section a comparison between R32, R1234yf and DR5A
refrigerants is presented. The simulation pressure drop calculation is very sensitive to the inlet
enthalpy and quality. Considering two different evaporator geometries, four refrigerants, and a wide
range of conditions both on the refrigerant and air sides, the 96% of the capacity data are predicted
within an error smaller than 20%, while the 92% of the pressure drop is predicted within an error
smaller than 30%. R410A series conducted with Evaporator B present the highest pressure drop,
both predicted and experimentally measured, due to the complex microchannel heat exchanger
internal geometry and the high value of refrigerant mass flow rate. Fig. 6.4 Comparison between
predicted and experimental oil retention mass Fig. 6.4 points out two different trends in the
simulation results: the oil retention mass in R410A series is well predicted, while for DR5A, R32 and
R1234yf results underestimated. ASHRAE Transactions, 2007. 113(1): p. 504-513. 47. Bigi, A.A.,

also propose a boiling map, depicting the heat transfer coefficient as a function of vapor quality, in
which higher heat transfer coefficients in wet regions than those in the film boiling and liquid
deficient region are observed. The refrigerant side line is also equipped with absolute pressure
transducer and inline thermocouples placed both at the inlet and at the outlet of the evaporator. The
error is always found to be negligible, which means the heat balance is respected for all the
experimental series performed. The other contributions, such as the pressure drop in the microchannel
tubes, outlet header and suction line do not show any appreciable change over the refrigerant inlet
quality range analyzed. The algorithm uses the ?-NTU method to determine the heat transfer
capacity, while correlations developed for microchannel heat exchangers are utilized in order to
estimate the pressure drop. From Table 6.1 it is possible to understand the oil retention contributions
of the different heat exchanger sections. Further, the university wanted to offer a certification
program so that students could demonstrate their mastery of these skills to potential employers. The
method used to determine the refrigerant inlet enthalpy and pressure, which are two simulation input
parameters, is the same used during the experimental tests. The final result was the capability to
simulate on one hand both pure refrigerant and refrigerant mixtures and on the other hand
complicated heat exchanger circuiting. EMAP Project 2014 11 03 abc ph d program polimi - kickoff

PhD. At low and intermediate quality, when the flow is mainly stratified, the oil addition may
increase the wetted surface thanks to its high viscosity, surface tension or foaming; at high vapor
quality, for the same reasons, can be predominant a lubricant accumulation effect. Keywords:

behavior seems close to the R410A one. Once the injection period is over, in order to remove the oil
from the system and store it in the two oil separators, flushing cycles are performed. Diego D. Noja

refrigerant R410A and DR5A is given. Moreover, DR5A has a larger phase-change enthalpy than

on Wuxi's industrial heritage (China): w. The air sampling device placed before the microchannel heat
exchanger is shown in Fig. 2.4. It is also possible to notice the blue air tunnel built in front of the
evaporators to guide the flow and have the same velocity profile on the entire surface of the
microchannel heat exchangers. The evaporator capacity is predicted within 10% error and lubricant
and refrigerant mass inventories are both predicted within 20% error with all the different void
fractions correlations. The tutorials, which cover MATLAB basics up through advanced topics using
specific toolboxes, were attended by more than 500 students last year. The outdoor chamber also has
one air flow measurement apparatus, the code tester, located between the two conditioning loops.
The procedure works properly in both cases, since the oil retained values obtained with respect to the
two different sightglasses are always very similar. 2.7 Uncertainty analysis According to the theory,
every result obtained by measurements has to be connected to an estimate of its associated error. The
desired conditions are achieved by conditioning the air and then circulating it into the room. C206

19 plates with horizontal headers, while the microchannel condenser is a two-pass design, with 31
channels in the first pass and 17 in the second. On one hand, the lubricant creates a film inside the
tubes, which reduces the available cross sectional area and determines an increase of refrigerant
liquid and vapor velocities and then a pressure drop raise. All these Programs have been separately
active since 1990, mainly focussing. Furthermore, the lubricant can accumulate inside the heat
exchanger components, causing an insufficient oil return to the compressor, and then a lack of
lubrication. Providing the first segment conditions as input, the simulation model calculates the
output variables and passes them as input data for the succeeding one, until the last element is
solved. Apart from researchers and other participants, the initiative represents an opportunity for
students as well, who can express an active citizenship in several fields. The averaged uncertainties

such as nanolubricants, in order to understand if it is possible to reduce the detrimental effects
related to oil addition. For example, the refrigerant solubility in the oil injected, mainly dependent on
temperature and pressure, is taken as constant for all the injection period. In open subject, the
leading body of teachers at the Politecnico di Milano will choose the exploration point for every
researcher and would likewise permit understudies to direct their examination and connection it with
the Ph.D. afterward. This doctorate grant is a completely supported global grant, so the researcher
would be better ready to focus on their examinations. International Journal of Heat and Mass

Its GWP is 460 and it is expected to have good compatibility with POE oils. The trees assist to

evaluating the oil separators efficiency as unitary, that means all the oil injected is collected in the
separators and no lubricant recirculation is present in the system. The mixture viscosity increases
during the evaporating process. Andreas Schleicher - 20 Feb 2024 - How pop music, podcasts, and

simulation model calculates the force ratio and correlates it to the oil film thickness. Oil effect is
more detrimental when its amount reaches 5% in weight. The simulation ORVN is estimated dividing
the predicted oil retention mass ORM by the lubricant density and then normalizing with respect to
the Evaporator A internal volume. In Table 6.1 are summarized the main parameters of the simulation
input and output. Its rotational speed is depending on the alternating voltage frequency supplied by
the Variable Frequency Drive VFD. In the years a lot of tools have been developed in order to
quantify the dispersion of a system. Low values of superheating determine a higher amount of
refrigerant dissolved in the oil rich mixture, caused by the increase of R410A solubility in POE oil at
lower temperatures, which leads to lower viscosity of the refrigerant-oil mixture and lower amount of
oil retained. Use of this website signifies your agreement to the IEEE Terms and Conditions. The

injection, a sample of oil is taken from the oil loop and a gravimetric measurement of the refrigerant
solubility in the oil injected is provided, in order to calculate the correct oil mass fraction circulating
into the system. To increase the pressure difference between the two loops, a small quantity of
refrigerant is charged in the oil loop; the higher the oil mass fraction, the higher is pressure difference
required to get the lubricant injection. Microfin tubes activate annular flow automatically although
the oil presence reduces this promotion effect and suppresses the foaming. The programme pays

COMPOSTELLA DI SANGUINETTO (tutor effettivo: Arlati). In the plate heat exchanger low
temperature side R404A refrigerant is flowing, which, in turn, is cooled down by a chiller. The
simulation program handles various refrigerant and oil mixtures and different heat exchanger
geometries. Instead of competing for limited computer lab space, students now complete
assignments and conduct research using MATLAB anywhere they want on their personal computers
or laptops. The GWP is calculated over a specific time interval, usually 20, 100 or 500 years. The
results, referred to air with 20 and 56 VG MO lubricants, show that oil always flows upward even in
case of low gas velocity. The aim of this work is to analyze the oil retention and its effects on heat
transfer rate and pressure drop in microchannel type evaporators. We depict the rest of Page 38 and

Collier and Thome also propose a boiling map, depicting the heat transfer coefficient as a function of
vapor quality, in which higher heat transfer coefficients in wet regions than those in the film boiling
and liquid deficient region are observed. On the other hand, keeping the same refrigerant saturation
temperature and degree of superheating and the same air dry bulb temperature leads to fixed
temperature difference between the air and the refrigerant Page 68. Over the last six years, twelve
PhD candidates have graduated and five more are expected to do so in 2020. From 1999 to 2006, he

its response to an increase in the amount of circulating oil. In the first part, a global overview in
terms of overall heat exchanger capacity, pressure drop and oil retention is provided including all the
refrigerant studied. Each room can operate independently in order to run a number of experiments
requiring controlled ambient conditions. The model addresses most of the oil retention to the
horizontal outlet header, where the highest value of local oil concentration and the maximum liquid
viscosity are reached. The described simulation model calculates the force ratio and correlates it to
the oil film thickness. For more data about the qualification rules of Politecnico di Milano Ph.D.

mass in all the components at various refrigerant mass flow rates and different OCR, the oil retention
is observed strongly Page 37. He led a Gordon Bell Prize finalist team with the ExaGeoStat software
for Super Computing 2022. The refrigerant-oil mixture model results are validated against
experimental data and compared to two different pure refrigerant models. Most of the experimental
series are carried out at the same air dry bulb temperature and air volumetric flow rate, in order to
analyze the behavior of the different refrigerants, in terms of HTF, PDF and ORVN, under the same
air side conditions. If the lubricant has a partial miscibility and the partial miscible refrigerant-oil
mixture boils close to the solution critical temperature, two liquid films can be identified surrounding
the bubble, where one is oil-rich and the other is refrigerant-rich. All the Labview recorded data are
averaged over a specific time interval and then used as simulation input values for both refrigerant
and air sides. This aspect is very important especially in the low mass flux experiments, when the
vapor has lower velocities and it is not able to carry over lubricant droplets. In aggiunta, il
comportamento dei due diversi fluidi al variare del grado di surriscaldamento risulta essere lo stesso.
The injection lasts about 15 minutes, enough to reach again stable conditions; with low oil mass
fractions the duration is few minutes longer. This problem is solved in the framework of the
Pontryagin maximum principle. Furthermore, the model provides a pressure losses quantification:
they are not significant with oil mass fractions below 0.5%, while become very important at higher
OMF values: for example at 5% OMF, the pressure drop was multiplied by 4 to 6.5 compared to its
initial value without oil. The PhD programme in Urban Planning, Design and Policy benefits from
this rich research environment and aims at training young researchers in the field of urban studies
according to the best international standards. Both structures will be restored and revitalized as part
of the final project. The local oil mass fraction increases with the vapor quality, that means the
maximum value of oil concentration is reached in the final part of the microchannel tubes and in the
outlet header. The reason is the different mass flux conditions used during the experimental tests:
indeed, the R410A series present the highest refrigerant mass flow rate. His research interests are
intelligent data analysis and Machine Learning in the sciences (Neuroscience (specifically Brain-
Computer Interfaces, Physics, Chemistry) and in industry. Chosen up-and-comers will likewise be
needed to choose the topic or kind of grant for additional cycles.
Although R1234yf is not considered a replacement for R410A, it is used in low GWP refrigerant
blends, such as DR5A. Hence, in the last part of the evaporator, the mixture temperature can increase
without increasing the quality, with strong effects on heat transfer, pressure drop and oil retention.
The dynalene is cooled down in the chiller and then heated through electric heaters to reach the set
point temperature desired. The Oil Retention Volume normalized seems to be strongly dependent on
the oil mass fraction; the OMF increase always leads to larger amount of oil trapped in the
microchannel heat exchanger. The upper limit of the mentioned integral can be or, as shown in
(2.16):, defined as the difference. Parole chiave: evaporatore a micro canali, fluidi refrigeranti a

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne. If the lubricant has a partial miscibility and
the partial miscible refrigerant-oil mixture boils close to the solution critical temperature, two liquid
films can be identified surrounding the bubble, where one is oil-rich and the other is refrigerant-rich.
SMAPSE will assist you with the entire process and help minimize administrative and financial risks
fulfilling your dream of getting quality education. The thermodynamic approach consists in using the
bubble point temperature instead of the pure refrigerant saturation temperature in the boiling heat
transfer coefficient calculations. Finally, Muller will briefly discuss perspectives and limitations.
Potentials and challenges in the innovation and re-actualization of the social housing sector. Both
structures will be restored and revitalized as part of the final project. ABC-PhD Program has been
established in 2012, following the complete. One of the two rooms artificially reproduces the
outdoor climate conditions, while the other room simulates the indoor environment and replicates
indoor comfort conditions. It is clear that lubricant injection creates an additional heat transfer
resistance, with respect to the conditions without oil. The model catches both the heat transfer
coefficient reduction and the decrease in temperature and enthalpy at the microchannel heat
exchanger outlet due to the non-evaporating liquid refrigerant mixed with oil. Forty years ago, in the
eighties of the last century, a collaboration between the Politecnico di Milano and IBM Italy pushed
towards a profound revision of teaching and the modernization of IT resources, taking advantage of
the experience of the Athena Project (1983) which saw IBM together with MIT to experiment new
information technologies in teaching. International Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Conference,

capacity and pressure drop are reasonable, since the uniform conditions both on the refrigerant and
air side are satisfied along all the tubes. From 2019 on he became an ISI Highly Cited researcher in
the cross-disciplinary area. Indeed, the oil film inside the microchannels determines a reduction in
the cross sectional area, which, in turn, causes an increase in refrigerant and oil velocities.

extraordinary initiative organized by CFA Institute.”. The first one consisted in modeling the entire
heat exchanger circuitry, an important tool universally ignored in simple models, but with a
significant impact on coil capacity and pressure drop. The use of microchannel heat exchangers in
residential air conditioning systems permits size reductions by a two-or-three factor compared to
conventional heat exchangers. In the latter paper the stratified-wavy region is analyzed with more
accuracy and analytical forms for transition from annular to dryout region and from dryout to mist
flow zone are proposed. Comparing DR5A and R410A series, an increase of the evaporating length
determines a larger portion of the tubes being occupied by fluid at low vapor qualities. Increasingly
moving away from the inlet section, the flow pattern develops into annular flow regime and annular
flow with liquid entrainment in the vapor core.
