Symposium CH-06-14

 

System Chemistry and Contaminants Research 

 

Wednesday, January 25, 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM

 

Sponsor:  TC 03.02 Refrigerant System Chemistry; TC 03.01 Refrigerants and Secondary Coolants, TC 03.03 Refrigerant Contaminant Control, TC 03.04 Lubrication

 

Chair: Kenneth C. Lilje, Ph.D., Member, CPI Engineering Services, Inc., Midland, MI

 

Abstract.  This symposium contains papers presenting ASHRAE research results related to materials and processes. Topics include an evaluation of the iron/POE reaction; the effects of process chemicals on HFC/POE systems; the distribution of water between the vapor and liquid refrigerant phases; and a test method for determining organic acids on desiccants as a method to evaluate system condition.

 

Forum 24

Refrigerant Impurities: Do They Matter?

Wednesday, January 25, 11:15 AM - 12:05 PM

Sponsor: TC 03.02 Refrigerant System Chemistry; TC 03.01 Refrigerants and Secondary Coolants, TC 03.03 Refrigerant Contaminant Control

Moderator: Robert W. Yost, Member, National Refrigerants, Rosenhayn, NJ

Abstract:  Refrigerant impurities may affect the performance or reliability of HVAC&R systems, and are controlled in refrigerant specifications like ARI 700. Some impurities that may affect the system or the service technician are not listed in the specifications. Are there issues with refrigerant impurities in the current specifications that should be addressed?
