摘要:
Refrigeration systems with a purge for removing non-condensables from the refrigerant and an acid filter for remove acid from the refrigerant are provided. The acid filter can be operatively connected to the purge. Optionally, the purge can include a separating device for separating non-condensable gases from condensable refrigerant gases and an acid filter is provided to remove acid from the condensable refrigerant gases.

Defoaming compounds that can be included in a HVAC system are provided. In some embodiments, the refrigerant compositions and/or additives may include one or more defoaming compounds that have one or more of the following properties: helping reduce a surface tension of the lubricant and/or refrigerant; having a different surface tension than the lubricant and/or refrigerant; being substantially non-dissolvable with the refrigerant and/or lubricant; and/or having less dense than the refrigerant and/or lubricant so that the compounds may stay on the surface of the refrigerant and/or lubricant. In some embodiments, the defoaming compounds may be selected from mineral oil, silicone based oil, fatty alcohols, fatty acids, alky amines, treated silica, aluminum oxide, polyacrylates, acrylate esters polypropylene, alkyl sulfates, alkyl ethoxylate sulfates, alkyl aryl sulfonates, phosphate esters, quaternary ammonium compounds, fatty amine salts, fatty acid amides, alkyl phenol ethoxylates, ethoxylate-propoxylate polymers and fatty alcohol ethoxylates.

A system for detecting if a refrigerant in an HVACR system is contaminated. The system includes a detector that detectes a property of a refrigerant gas in a vapor space and compares the detected property with a reference property for uncontaminated refrigerant gas. The detector determines that a contaminant is present in the refrigerant gas if the detected property is different from the reference property. The property detected by the dectector can be either a speed of sound through the refrigerant gas or a thermal conductivity of the refrigerant gas. Also disclosed is a method for detecting contamination of refrigerant gas in a HVACR system that includes detecting, by a detector, a property of refrigerant gas in a vapor space of the HVACR system.

Embodiments are described herein to provide a functional composition that can be added to the lubricant of the HVAC system to help prevent/reduce the lubricant breakdown. The functional composition can also help prevent/reduce material deposition on, for example, an orifice of an expansion or heat transfer surface(s) or heat transfer surface(s). The functional composition can be added as an additive to a lubricant of a HVAC system to form a lubricant composition. The lubricant composition can be added to a HVAC system to help prevent/reduce the material deposition. In some embodiments, the functional composition can be added to a HVAC system during operation of the HVAC system to help remove/reduce existing material deposition.

Refrigeration systems with a purge for removing non-condensables from an environmentally-suitable chiller refrigerant are provided. The refrigeration systems utilize an environmentally-suitable chiller refrigerant with a 100 year direct global warming potential (GWP) of less than 150. The refrigeration systems further include a remover to remove refrigerant-harmful gases from the chiller refrigerant.
