The transcritical vapour compression cycle: its potential in heat pump processes.

Author(s) : NEKSA P.

Summary

The objective of this presentation is to evaluate the potential in using the transcritical vapour compression cycle for heat pump applications. A thorough discussion of process losses and the economic aspects of the process are presented. The results are evaluated with an optimizer-simulator programme named OptiPro. The transcritical process is found to be economically superior to the R12-reference process despite unit cost for the main components being as much as 2.4 times that of the R12-reference process. The process is especially well suited for high temperature applications, such as the preheating of water for vapour production, and for use with low temperature heat sources.
