Summary

A novel vapor-compression system concept employing carbon dioxide as the refrigerant is proposed to serve the needs of a typical medium-size refrigerated truck used for multi-temperature (MT and LT) goods delivery. The system design is based on the implementation of an ejector as the only component increasing the refrigerant pressure from the LT evaporation pressure to the MT evaporation pressure, thus allowing the realization of a unit providing cooling effect at two different temperature levels with only one stage of compression. The ejector was experimentally tested in order to evaluate its ability to effectively entrain mass flow rate from very low pressure conditions at the suction nozzle, corresponding to the LT evaporator outlet conditions. In addition, a simple preliminary thermodynamic evaluation of the performance of the refrigerating unit at -25°C LT saturation temperature and 35°C gas cooler outlet temperature is conducted.
