Most fluorinated hydrocarbons that shall replace refrigerants with high GWP. like R134a. are flammable. For evaluating inertization measures for explosion protection. flammability of low-GWP refrigerants R1234yf, R32 and R1132a blended with carbon dioxide.
Nitrogen and argon were studied experimentally in a closed autoclave
at atmospheric conditions. Furthermore, a calculation method was
adapted to reduce the experimental costs for flammability studies on
these gas mixtures. For igniting R1234yf in the closed autoclave a
newly developed ignition system was used that allows generating
electric arcs with high ignition energy. Gas mixtures containing the
mildly flammable R1234yf and R32 could be inerted by adding much
less inert gas than mixtures containing R1132a, which is more similar
to unfluorinated hydrocarbons regarding the explosion regions. By
using the adapted model of constant adiabatic flame temperature
profiles estimating the explosion limits of fluorinated hydrocarbons
was possible with similar accuracy as for unf luorinated hydrocarbons.
