Re: propane V/s propylene
Assuming -35ºF and 90ºF condensing temp
R-1270 R-290
Evap -34 -34 ºF
Cond 90ºF 90 ºF
Liquid Enthalpy -13.206 261.59 btu/lb
Vapor enthalpy 97.731 368.2 btu/lb
Vapor entropy 1.4085 1.3649 BTU/lb-R
Suction pressure 23.62 18.562 PSIA
Condening press 199.8 165.58 PSIA
Compression ratio 8.46 8.92
Refrigeration effect 110.937 106.61 btu/lb
Mass flow rate 108.1695 112.5598 lb/hr/ton
Ideal Compression
Discharge enthalpy 143.61 141.35 btu/lb
Compressor work 45.879 43.15 btu/lb
4962.71 4856.96 btu/hr/ton
Efficiency 1.95 1.91 hp/ton
Ideally propane is sightly better, The compression ratio of propane is higher than propylene so the compressor efficiency is lower. Infact they are almost identical.
You will have to look at the compressor efficiency curves to get a better answer.Last edited by Dacosta; 11-02-2010 at 06:51 PM.
