Résumé

Isothermal compression is a thermodynamic grail. The compactness and speed of traditional systems lead to a technical non-feasibility of this transformation due to the excessive heat density to withdraw. This paper presents how an innovative liquid-CO2 piston design enables isothermal compression and expansion in variable operation modes appropriate to different applications and markets: (i) constant heating power (ii) constant hydraulic power and (iii) minimal compression time. In comparison with traditional compression processes this solution provides a simplified set-up, reduced CAPEX investments and confirms a performance increase with a required work decreased by 40% for compression ratios around 20. Starting at 20 bar and 80°C isothermal compressions proposed have an isothermal efficiency between 88.2 and 96.7% for compression ratios between 5 and 20. Compression energy consumption is reduced between 18 and 41%. First analysis defines the pump and CO2-blower control to obtained “constant heat load” or “constant hydraulic flow” isothermal compressions. Then CFD simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics illustrate the ability of efficiently produce heat at constant temperature, a major outcome to contribute to the decarbonisation of the industry.
