Question

What is unique about an azeotropic refrigerant mixture?

Answer 1

• Azeotropes mixtures are the types of mixture that contain two or more pure liquids which boil at the same time.
• The evaporation and condensation process occurs together in the component of refrigerant azeotropes.
• The two liquids of the azeotropic mixture behave like pure liquids, under constant pressure and temperature.
• The overall composition of the mixture in the vapor and liquid phase will be the same.
• Azeotropic mixtures have been very widely used in refrigeration because they can be used as refrigeration mixtures
• The advantage of azeotropic refrigerant mixture being in the same phase is that if any leakage happens then that refrigerant does not affect the other or the remaining one.
