Expansion devices for CO2: results of measurements and simulation model.

Résumé

This paper presents experimental data and a model for predicting the CO2 flow rate through a short tube orifice and a needle valve to be used as expansion device in refrigerant cycles. For this, besides the needle valve, several orifices with different tube geometries have been studied, i.e. different tube lengths and bore diameters. The data were analyzed for operating conditions which typically occur in automotive air-conditioning systems: the inlet pressure was varied in a range of 75 to 130 bars and the temperature in a range of 25 to 40°C, i.e. all inlet conditions were single-phase. These investigations have shown that the mass flow rate is strongly dependent on the inlet pressure. Of course, the mass flow rate increases with increasing upstream pressure. The inlet temperature plays an important role for the mass flow which increases with decreasing temperature (at constant inlet pressure). Based on the experimental investigations a semi-empirical model with three independent variables for predicting the mass flow rate has been developed. The model was "designed" to cover flow with single-phase inlet and two-phase outlet for the refrigerant CO2.
