and refrigeration capacity per unit volume of R290(propane) and R600a(isobutene) mixture with different mixing ratios
on the basis of thermodynamic properties of hydrocarbons.Compared with R134a
R290/R600a mixture with the ratio of 60%/40% is the best to replace R134a.Refrigeration performances of R134a and R290/R600a mixture were tested in a bus air conditioner.The results showed that performance of refrigeration coefficient and refrigeration capacity of R290/R600a(60%/40%) blend were about 2% and 10% higher respectively
than those of R134a.R290/R600a(60%/40%)can be a substitute refrigerant to replace R134a in car air conditioners.
