IIR document
Experimental investigation of a new CO2 refrigeration system arrangement for supermarket applications.
Author(s) : PAEZ A., BALLOT-MIGUET B., MICHEL B., TOBALY P., REVELLIN R.
Type of article: IJR article
Summary
A new position of an internal heat exchanger within the thermodynamic cycle is proposed to improve the performance of CO2 refrigeration systems in warm climates, specifically in supermarket applications. The proposed configuration uses the saturated vapor from the liquid receiver to recover the heat that is rejected by a subcooler positioned after the gas cooler. This system results in a reduced evaporator superheat. This configuration is compared with a reference system.
The experimental study is conducted on a CO2 laboratory cooling system reproducing a commercial plant. The cooling capacity of the system is 30 kW. The water inlet temperature in the gas cooler (hot source) varies from 15 °C to 35 °C, while the mono-ethylene glycol outlet temperature of the evaporator (cold source) is fixed at -8 °C. The setup is validated through an energy balance.
Using a subcooler in this new position improves the coefficient of performance by 10.2 % under transcritical conditions and 6.3 % under subcritical conditions when compared with the reference system.
