Article: Capillary tube sizing charts for fluorine-based refrigerants.

ABSTRACT

This paper provides new selection charts for the sizing of adiabatic capillary tubes operating with alternative refrigerants. The mathematical model is based on conservation of mass, energy, and momentum of fluids in the capillary tube. After the developed model is validated by comparison with the experimental data reported in literature, selection charts that contain the relevant parameters are proposed for sizing adiabatic capillary tubes. The selection charts are presented for some alternative refrigerants and a wide range of operations. These newly developed selection charts can be practically used to select capillary tube size from the flow rate and ...
