An efficient new automobile air-conditioning system based on CO2 vapour compression.

Author(s) : PETTERSEN J.

Summary

With the construction and testing of a laboratory prototype, it has been documented that the new system is highly competitive with current R12 and R134a units in terms of efficiency, capacity, cost, weight, and dimensions. The CO2 concept thus offers a solution to the environmental problems associated with automobile air conditioning and eliminates all uncertainties with respect to possible unforeseen effects from new refrigerant compounds. Further advantages of the natural fluid CO2 as a refrigerant are: no need for recycling or recovery, low cost of fluid, excellent availability, well-known properties, and more compact machinery and components.
