Compressor mechanism comparison for R744 application.

Author(s) : COLLINGS D. A., YAP Z. K., HALLER D. K.

Summary

R744 (CO2) is attractive because it is not toxic, not flammable, and is widely available as a by-product of industrial processes. However, systems operate at much higher pressures than systems using HCFC, HFC, or HFC-blend refrigerants. The roles of common compressor mechanisms appear established in the marketplace using current refrigerants, but applicability for CO2 remains to be seen. The intrinsic properties of scroll, rolling piston, and reciprocating piston mechanisms are compared in terms of their impact on efficiency, using R744.
