Abstract

The vapor compression cycle refrigeration machine is the type of refrigeration machine that is most widely used today, generally the medium used as a working fluid that transfers heat from the product being cooled to its environment is a synthetic refrigerant. The working fluid is called refrigerant. Refrigerant is the main working fluid used in air conditioning systems to absorb heat and convert it in the refrigeration system. This then encourages countries in the world including Indonesia to then jointly carry out prevention and improvement by making agreements. Then this agreement was known as the Vienna Convention in 1985 followed by the Montreal agreement in 1987. In order to reduce the impact of ODS (Ozone Depleting Substances), in 1992 Indonesia signed the Montreal protocol. At that time, Indonesia also launched the "Indonesian Country for the phase Out of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) under the Montreal Protocol". This study aims to compare the work of compression, heat absorbed, and the electric power used by the split type refrigeration machine between refrigerant R-22 and refrigerant R-290. These results and analysis show that R-290 has a higher value than R-22 in compression performance. R22 power consumption is 0.30 kw and R290 is 0.26. R290 this is influenced by the light work of the compressor so that it will have an impact on electric power consumption. The power consumption of R290 is 42% less than R22. The heat absorbed by R 22 is smaller than that using hydrocarbons. The results of the optimization of compressor work, power and heat variables show an effect on efficiency.

Abstract

Magnesium AZ31B is a promising biodegradable implant material due to its mechanical properties comparable to natural bone and its ability to degrade in physiological environments, potentially eliminating the need for secondary surgery. However, its rapid degradation can cause a significant loss of mechanical integrity, limiting its use in load-bearing applications. This study investigates the evolution of mechanical properties and surface characteristics of AZ31B during in-vitro immersion in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). Tensile tests were conducted on triplicate specimens after immersion for 3, 6, and 9 days, while surface morphology and corrosion products were analyzed using SEM–EDX. In addition, pH variation and mass loss were monitored to evaluate corrosion behavior. The results show a progressive decrease in tensile strength from 279.77 ± 5.30 MPa (0 days) to 167.64 ± 2.31 MPa after 9 days of immersion, representing an overall reduction of approximately 40%. This degradation was accompanied by increased surface corrosion, mass loss, and solution alkalization. These findings provide quantitative insight into the relationship between corrosion progression and mechanical degradation of AZ31B, highlighting its time-dependent performance limitations and the need for surface modification strategies in biodegradable implant applications.
