Summary

Varying the orientation of a vapor compression cycle and describing observed effects is a research field that has received very little attention. This paper presents the design of a test stand that is dedicated to the investigation of body-force effects on a vapor compression cycle and is able to rotate 360° around one axis. Results could be useful for transport and microgravity applications and contribute to the understanding of two-phase flow in general. It is shown that at certain operating conditions, inclining the system can lead to a sudden decrease of subcooling.
