A turbo expander: development for domestic refrigeration appliances.

Author(s) : ZOUGHAIB A., CLODIC D.

Summary

The paper presents the possibilities of using turbo expanders in domestic refrigeration appliances. Calculations were performed to determine the cycle improvement and the mechanical work generated as a function of the subcooling and the superheating in the liquid-vapour heat exchanger (L-V Hex). Mechanical work can be used to drive a fan, avoiding the electrical consumption for no-frost appliances. Comparisons were performed for usual no-frost systems with the fan driven by electrical motors or by a turbo expander.
