Energy and thermodynamic performance of refrigerator using pure hydrocarbon and mixture of hydrocarbons as refrigerants

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the performance of a domestic refrigerator using pure butane and mixture of propane, butane and isobutene as refrigerants. The experiment was conducted with a refrigerator designed to work with HFC-134a under the same no load condition at a surrou...
