Summary

CO2 systems used in refrigeration are becoming more complex with the aim of improving their energy performance. The integrated mechanical subcooling system is being studied to enhance the COP and the cooling capacity of the plants as one of the possible solutions for hot climates in the last years.
Last studies determined their optimum working conditions where the COP is maximum. However, the compressor of the integrated mechanical subcooling cycle works out of the range of operation in some cases. This work presents the main technical limitations of this compressor in an experimental plant.
The main objective is to determine what these limits are and to highlight the need to develop new compressors for these applications. Improving the operation of these compressors will further increase the energy performance of the overall system.
