Résumé

Capillary tubes are extensively used in small refrigeration and air-conditioning systems with synthetic refrigerants and hydrocarbons. For CO2 transcritical applications, it has been shown that the capillary tube demonstrates an intrinsic capability of adjusting the upper pressure close to the optimal value in response to changes of gas-cooler heat sink temperature. The CO2 flow rate through four capillary tubes of various lengths, diameters and materials was measured in a test rig. Each capillary tube was tested with inlet pressure varying from 7.5 to 11 MPa and inlet temperature from 20 to 40°C. Outlet pressure varied from 1.5 to 3 MPa. The experimental results were validated against different numerical and approximate analytical solutions of the capillary tube equations. These models give good predictions only if the friction factor of the capillary tube is calculated accounting for its dependence on the tube roughness.
