Transcritical carbon dioxide heat rejection options for industrial systems.

Author(s) : PEARSON S. F., PEARSON A. B.

Summary

Carbon dioxide refrigeration systems are now well established in the industrial market in the form of secondary loops and cascade systems, but as yet only a handful of demonstration industrial transcritical systems have been built. The unusual properties of supercritical carbon dioxide present some unique challenges and opportunities to system designers, but the correct approach is often counter-intuitive. One major advantage the industrial designer has in approaching a transcritical project is the possibility to use the wet bulb ambient to gain significant performance advantage over an air-cooled system. There is also a high probability that high grade heat can be recovered to hot water, at no additional cost to the operator.
