On the feasibility of compressing CO2 as working fluid in scroll compressors.

Author(s) : FAGERLI B. E.

Summary

A R134a scroll compressor with swept volume of 80 cm3, i.e. for mediumed-size car was applied as a baseline compressor. The focus has been on overall geometrical dimensions, weight of moving parts and to quantify the gas leakage. The objective was to achieve competitive parameter values for the R744. It was applied two different set of R744 scroll profiles. One scroll set with maximum 3 pairs of compression pockets and one set with maximum 2 pairs. Maximum 2 pairs was also the case for the R134a compressor.
