1- Zeotropic Mixture
A mixture of chemicals is zeotropic
if the compositions of the vapor
and the liquid phases at the vapor-
liquid equilibrium state are never
the same.
Zeotropic mixture of nitrogen
and methane at 0.1 MPa.
Liquid>> 18 % Nitrogen & 82% Methane
Vapor >> 90 % Nitrogen & 10% Methane
1- Azeotropic Mixture
- A mixture that can not be
separated to into its components
by distillation .
- Evaporates and condensates as a
single substance .
Advantages of Zeotropic
Mixture .
1- Reducing the compression ratio .
2- Increasing the capacity
3- Reaching non constant temperature of
refrigeration
>> Reduce (Tc) >> Increase (Tevp)
>> reduces Compressor power
>> COP Increases
