What exactly happens if you heat a given working fluid above its critical temp? Does the pressure stop rising? Is there any benefit in a closed heat engine system to do so? I am working with R134a for a working fluid
Thanks
I am considering using an a/c rotary vane compressor as an expander in a solar generating project. The working fluid is R134a refrigerant. From volume measurements I've determined it takes a 12cc space to a 36cc space before dumping, or 1:3. From what I've heard it should be more like 1:9. I've...
I am constructing a hybrid solar/ solid fuel generator system. An insulated water tank will evaporate R134a, in a coil(s) configuration,always below the boiling point of water open to the atmosphere for safetys sake. The vapor will drive one or more rotary vane a/c compressors modified as...
