@article{Ohno2019, abstract = {CFCs have been widely used for air conditioner and other purposes. Due to significant effect of CFCs to global environment, recycle and reuse are recommended. Using electrostatic separation, we have developed an apparatus to remove impurities in refrigerants (CFCs ,HFCs and HCFCs). Used refrigerants in air conditioning system contains deteriorated oil and other impurities. When used refrigerant are recovered by vacuum pump system, those impurities become mists in gasphase the refrigerant. Those mists are charged by impaction to a fine needle. Charged mists can be separated by the following parallel plate in which a dc electric field is formed. This system has been proved to clean the recovered refrigerants to be able to reuse. This system will save total energy for recycle of refrigerants, and will contribute to improve the environment.}, author = {Ohno, M. and Ozawa, Y. and Mizuno, A.}, doi = {10.34343/ijpest.2019.13.01.39}, journal = {International Journal of Plasma Environmental Science and Technology}, keywords = {CFCs,recycle,refrigerant,separation,tribo-charging}, number = {1}, pages = {39--43}, title = {{Recovery and Regeneration of CFCs Using Electrostatic Separation}}, url = {http://ijpest.com/}, volume = {13}, year = {2019} }
