For the detailed two-phase flow analyses, refrigerant R218 was selected. A divided capillary tube was prepared with a set of precise pressure and temperature sensors providing detailed information about the refrigerant flow behavior inside the tube. The metastable flow regions of the superheated liquid and of the two-phase vapor-liquid mixture were clearly detected. A correlation for the ‘underpressure’ of vaporization applicable for capillary flow of fluorocarbon refrigerants was determined. New experimental data were compared with a modified numerical model simulating all four capillary flow regions. A negative effect of non-condensing gases present within the cooling circuit on the overall capillary tube performance was experimentally noted.
