Computational design of new refrigerant fluids based on environmental, safety, and thermodynamic characteristics / Andrei Kazakov in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 51 N° 38 (Septembre 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 51 N° 38 (Septembre 2012) . - pp. 12537-12548 Titre : Computational design of new refrigerant fluids based on environmental, safety, and thermodynamic characteristics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrei Kazakov, Auteur ; Mark O. McLinden, Auteur ; Michael Frenkel, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 12537-12548 Note générale : Industrial chemistry Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Safety  Refrigerant  fluid  Design Résumé : We present a systematic search for new classes of refrigerants that would possess low values of global warming potential (GWP), along with low- to moderate flammability and suitable thermodynamic characteristics. We have developed new methods for estimating, solely from the molecular structure, the radiative efficiency (RE, a measure of radiative climate forcing) and atmospheric lifetime; the combination of RE and lifetime yields an estimate of the GWP. We also developed an estimate of the lower flammability limit (LFL) based on the enthalpy of formation. These estimation techniques, along with a previously developed technique for estimating critical temperature (Tc), are applied to a library of over 56000 candidate molecules. We select fluids with GWP < 200; 300 K < Tc < 550 K; and LFL > 0.1 kg·m―3. Filters for toxicity and chemical stability based on functional groups are also applied to arrive at 1234 candidates for further study. The candidates that would be suitable for use in present types of refrigeration equipment (those having critical temperatures less than 400 K) are dominated by halogenated alkenes; additional chemical classes, including halogenated ethers and cyclic compounds, are identified among fluids with higher critical temperatures.

A thermodynamic analysis of refrigerants / Mark O. McLinden in International journal of refrigeration, Vol. 38 (Février 2014) 

Public ISBD [article]  in International journal of refrigeration > Vol. 38 (Février 2014) . - pp. 80–92 Titre : A thermodynamic analysis of refrigerants : Possibilities and tradeoffs for Low-GWP refrigerants Titre original : Une analyse thermodynamique des frigorigènes: possibilités et compromis impliqués pour les frigorigènes à faible GWP Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mark O. McLinden, Auteur ; Andrei F. Kazakov, Auteur ; J. Steven Brown, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp. 80–92 Note générale : Refrigeration Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Global  warming  potential;  Low  GWP  refrigerant;  Thermodynamic  properties;  Vapor  compression  cycle Résumé : We explore the possibilities for refrigerants having low global warming potential (GWP). A set of about 1200 candidate fluids is identified from more than 56 000 small molecules examined by applying screening criteria to estimates for GWP, flammability, stability, toxicity, and critical temperature. Methodologies for this screening have been presented in earlier works and are summarized here. The fluids with critical temperatures between 300 K and 400 K (i.e., those that could be used in current types of equipment with minor modifications) number 62. The fluids include halogenated olefins; compounds containing oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur; as well as carbon dioxide. We discuss the tradeoffs presented by these 62 candidates, considering their thermodynamic properties and their stability and toxicity characteristics. No fluid is ideal in all regards—all have one or more negative attributes: poor thermodynamic properties, toxicity, chemical instability, low to moderate flammability, or very high operating pressures.
