Thermodynamic analysis of heat-energized refrigeration machine with carbon dioxide

Performance Investigation of Two Two-Stage Trans-Critical Carbon Dioxide Refrigeration Cycles Ejector and Internal Heat Exchanger

In the present work, the performances of improved two-stage multi inter-cooler trans- critical carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigeration cycles with ejector and internal heat exchanger have been examined. In the new improved cycles, an internal heat exchanger is append to the cycles. Also, second inter-cooler in improved cycles, cooled with the refrigeration of the cycle, so that in first c...

A Transcritical Refrigeration Cycle with Carbon Dioxide for Bus Air Conditioning and Transport Refrigeration

The frrst part of this paper presents carbon dioxide air conditioning units which were installed in two city buses. The two buses were tested "on-the-road" during summer 1997 in Bad Hersfeld, Germany. By the end of 1997, the air condition systems of the two buses had been running together for more than 860 hours proving that C02 systems fulfill important on-the-road requirements. In the second ...

Transient Simulation of a Transcritical Carbon Dioxide Refrigeration System

Transient simulations of refrigeration cycles are crucial for evaluating new refrigerants. Previously developed transient simulation tool was capable of simulating refrigeration systems using refrigerants R22 and R134a and was validated with experimental data; however, incorporating non-traditional refrigerants such as R744 (carbon dioxide) change the cycle operation beyond the capabilities of ...

Effect of an Internal Heat Exchanger on Performance of the Transcritical Carbon Dioxide Refrigeration Cycle with an Expander

The effect of the internal heat exchanger (IHE) on the performance of the transcritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle with an expander is analyzed theoretically on the basis of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The possible parameters affecting system efficiency such as heat rejection pressure, gas cooler outlet temperature, evaporating temperature, expander isentropic efficienc...
