  • Comparison of liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide as a cooling fluid in machining processes [Elektronski vir]
    Pušavec, Franci ; Stoić, Antun ; Kopač, Janez, 1949-
    Sustainable manufacturing trends dictate the need for cleaner processes that are environmentally benign and with no adverse health effects. Cryogenic machining in recent times has emerged as such an ... effective and clean manufacturing process. In this field, two different liquefied gases are normally used: liquefied nitrogen (LN2) and liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2). Prior research has proven that cooling effect in such sustainable machining operation is significant, while different gases and their phases play a major role in this. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the difference/advantages of proposed gases in machining processes and evaluate their phase influence. Based on the results, it is concluded that liquid phase of nitrogen has the most dominant capability for heat evacuation and so machining performance.
