Two-phase turbines for compressor energy recovery.

Author(s) : HAYS L. G., BRASZ J. J.

Summary

Application of a two-phase turbine for the recovery of compressor energy in refrigeration cycles is described. Reduction in compressor power and size is estimated for refrigeration applications with R134a, R22, R123 and propane. A description of the two-phase turbine is provided and a comparison of predicted and measured efficiency is given for air and water tests and for a commercial R134a unit. Losses identified in the air and water tests and potential efficiency improvements are presented.
