- Summary
- Preliminary designs for systems which satisfy code requirements using R-134a and R-C318 as refrigerants are developed. Standard thermodynamic and heat transfer analysis were used to determine expected performance for the systems. The R-C318 has a somewhat peculiar vapor/liquid equilibrium curve, and a novel heat exchanger was introduced to optimize performance of this refrigerant. These performance assessments with component and assembly cost estimates were combined to prepare life-cycle costs for the two new systems. Compared to commercially available systems, these ``polymer evaporator`` systems seem to be completely feasible technically and if successfully demonstrated, they should have substantial economic advantages over existing ice-making devices.
