The use of carbon dioxide in refrigeration and heat pump systems.

Author(s) : PISANO G.

Summary

Carbon dioxide has been deeply used as primary refrigerant until the forties due to its non toxicity and non flammability. However, the high pressures involved made it easy to abandon this natural fluid preferring the use of synthetic refrigerants characterized by extremely lower pressure levels. After several years, the progressive restriction of the use of ozone depleting (Montreal, 1987) and earth warming (Kyoto, 1999) refrigerants together with the development of components suitable for high pressures made CO2 to gain renewed interest.
