Carbon dioxide, a natural alternative for residential heat pumps.

Author(s) : AARLIEN R., FRIVIK P. E.

Summary

Some important features in designing CO2 systems are discussed, and results of an experimental investigation on residential heat pumps are presented. A CO2 prototype unit is compared to an R22 unit. Neither the CO2 compressor nor the CO2 heat exchangers have performed optimally, and water retention has been a problem, but improvements seem readily achievable.
