Efficiencies of transcritical CO2 cycles with and without an expansion turbine.

Author(s) : ROBINSON D. M., GROLL E. A.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

The paper presents a detailed literature review of carbon dioxide's role in refrigeration cycles and what has been investigated so far to find a suitable application for carbon dioxide as a refrigerant. In addition, two thermodynamic models for transcritical carbon dioxide cycles with and without an expansion turbine have been developed. The efficiencies of the transcritical carbon dioxide cycles are compared with the ones of conventional HCFC-22 cycles. A second law analysis on both carbon dioxide and HCFC-22 cycles is included.
