High pressure refrigeration system with CO2 in automobile air-conditioning.

Author(s) : WERTENBACH J., KAUF F.

Summary

In the paper, TEWI-figures for a vehicle with air conditioning system are considered, and the reduction potential due to CO2 as refrigerant as a motive for phasing out current technology is shown. This includes a comparison of COP's between a conventional cold vapour cycle and the transcritical refrigerant cycle using CO2 to evaluate benefits and disadvantages. The high pressure refrigerant cycle has to be seen in the light of the requirement profile for introduced MACS. Furthermore assorted results from the European "RACE" project are presented. The theory of the refrigerant cycle, tests results, packaging in a vehicle, and first experiences of component development are discussed, as well as difficulties in adapting the "Green Technology" to a car.
