The report gives results of a heat transfer evaluation of the refrigerants hexafluoropropane (HFC-236ea) and 1,1,2,2-dichloro-tetrafluoroethane (CFC-114).
(NOTE: With the mandatory phase-out of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), as dictated by the Montreal Protocol and Clean Air Act Amendments, it is imperative for the Navy to find a replacement for CFC-114 that is environmentally safe and possess similar performance characteristics.
Currently, one of the leading candidates to replace CFC-114 is HFC-236ea.) This research focuses on comparing the refrigerants not only in condensation and...
