Numerical simulation and experimental validation of internal heat exchanger influence on CO2 transcritical cycle performance.

Type of article: Article, IJR article
Summary
This paper is a numerical and experimental comparative study of the whole vapour compression refrigerating cycle in general, and reciprocating compressors in particular, with the aim of showing the possibilities that CO2 offers for commercial refrigeration, considering a single-stage transcritical cycle using semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors under small cooling capacity systems. This work is focussed on the influence of using an internal heat exchanger (IHX) in order to improve the cycle performance under real working conditions. In order to validate the numerical results, an experimental unit specially designed and built to analyze transcritical refrigerating equipments considering IHX has been built. Both numerical results and experimental data show reasonable good agreement, while the comparative global values conclude the improvement of cooling capacity and COP when IHX is considered in the CO2 transcritical cycle.
