Abstract
This study performed experimental research to visualize the moisture content absorbed in R-22, refrigerant of refrigerator. Sulfuric acids were mixed with bromothylmol blue solution to make indicating solutions, and humidity papers were prepared by impregnation of the indicating solutions into solid supporters. Prior to the impregnation, small amount of lithium chloride was added into indicating solution. Moisture measuring cell was composed to test sensitivity of the humidity papers. Color changing characteristics of the humidity papers were also examined at various moisture contents in R-22. Color of the humidity paper varied linearly with the moisture content in R-22 in the range from 150 ppm to 300 ppm. The humidity papers showed complete color change to yellow at the moisture content of 300 ppm within 8 hours.
