A novel technology to adapt transcritical R744 supermarket refrigeration systems to rising temperatures.

Summary

In this work a novel technology to adapt transcritical R744 supermarket refrigeration systems to warm and hot climates as well as to rising temperatures was proposed and exhaustively investigated. The novel solution consisted of a booster device (increasing the transcritical fluid R744 pressure) followed by an air-cooled gas cooler and located between the conventional air-cooled condenser/gas cooler and high-pressure expansion valve. The results obtained revealed energy savings by from 2.31 % to 2.91 % in Seville (Spain) and from 4.64 % to 5.73 % in New Delhi (India). To further increase the energy benefits from the proposed technology, the use of an expander replacing the high-pressure expansion valve was also considered. As a consequence, energy savings by 7.80 % in Seville and 14.44 % in New Delhi with an additional investment recovery time of about 3 years in both of the selected locations were assessed.
