The way by increasing the interface and compatibility between refrigerant and water to promote the rapid formation and growth of refrigerant hydrate is investigated. HCFC141b emulsion was prepared by high-pressure cutting method to increases the interface. The influencing factors
including emulsification time
bath temperature
HCFC141b content‘memory effect' and high-concentration surfactants
on induction time and supercooling degree of HCFC141b hydration are studied. Then
the thermodynamically stable HCFC141b micro-emulsion is successfully prepared with aid of T20/lecithin compound surfactants and T80 single surfactant to increase the compatibility of refrigerant and water. The characteristics of hydrate formation of HCFC141b micro-emulsion were revealed. The results have shown that low bath temperature
optimum HCFC141b mass concentration as well as long emulsification time are conducive to hydrate formation form HCFC141b emulsion; the ‘memory effect' has an important role in the promotion of hydration but does not accumulate; the surfactants T20
T80
SDS
SDBS and soybean lecithin have different influencing degrees on the promotion of hydration and there exists an idea concentration of each surfactant; HCFC141b can form hydrate rapidly and uniformly in the micro-emulsion. Compared with that of hydrate formed form HCFC141b emulsion
the induction time and supercooling degree of hydration form HCFC141b micro-emulsion are greatly reduced
which indicates that increasing the compatibility of refrigerant and water by preparation of micro-emulsion is a new way to promote refrigerant hydrate crystallization.
