GWP=124) is environmentally friendly and has good thermal performance. The absorbent
triethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DMETrEG)
is less toxic
has high boiling temperature and good dissolution ability for more refrigerants. Therefore
the mixture of R152a and DMETrEG is considered as a potential absorption working pair. The vapor-liquid equilibrium(VLE) of R152a+DMETrEG in the temperature range of 293.15-353.15 K was studied by gas-liquid double-cycle method. NRTL model and Wilson model were used to correlate the experimental results. The results were in good agreement with the correlated results. The average relative deviation between the calculated results and the experimental results is 1.80% for NRTL model
and the average deviation between the calculated results and the experimental results is 1.83% for Wilson model. When mole faction of R152a in the solution of R152a and DMETrEG is larger than 0.8
activity coefficient of R152a is close to 1
therefore
this solution can be considered as an ideal solution approximately.
