Three-component mixed working fluid for internal combustion engine waste heat recovery power cycle

Abstract

The present invention discloses a three-component mixed working fluid for an ICE waste heat recovery power cycle, wherein the three-component mixed working fluid consists of carbon dioxide, pentane and a refrigerant, the refrigerant is a high-performance environment-friendly refrigerant with GWP value which is lower than 1000 and ODP value which is 0, and the refrigerant is one selected from a group consisting of difluoromethane, fluoroethane and 1,1-difluoroethane; according to the selected refrigerants, the mass percentage of each component is as follow: the mass percentage of CO2, pentane and difluoromethane are 30-70, 10-20, and 10-60; the mass percentage of CO2, pentane and fluoroethane are 30-70/10-20/10-50; the mass percentage of CO2, pentane and 1,1-difluoroethane are 10-70/10-30/10-60. The present invention has good environmental performance, safety performance and thermodynamic performance, and the thermal efficiency is higher than 12% of prior art; and the present invention further has good ability of synergistically recovering waste heat of engine coolant and gas, thus reaching 100% utilization rate of engine coolant, and more than 60% utilization rate of gas. The critical temperature of the three-component mixture is obviously higher than that of CO2, the cooling conditions of the system are relaxed, and the conditions for the waste heat recovery system for vehicles are satisfied.
