Résumé
The Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube has the potential to act as a robust expansion device and a useful energy supply while reducing throttling losses between the gas cooler and the evaporator in the transcritical CO2 heat pump cycle. In the present work, a three-dimensional numerical simulation is carried out to study the vortex tube two-phase compressible flow at supercritical inlet operating conditions. A density-based solver along with the homogeneous equilibrium model, a low-Reynolds turbulence closure and the real-gas
Span-Wagner equation of state are selected. First, a supercritical CO2 expansion inside a de Laval nozzle is performed for a validation purpose using pressure measurements available in the literature. Then, the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube results revealed that the two-phase transcritical CO2 temperature separation happens below the inlet temperature and is reduced between both ends suggesting that the vortex tube outlet functions could be reversed. The two-phase mixture was formed in the main tube periphery with
decreasing vapor quality towards the hot exit. Experiments are required to validate this model and contribute to a better predictability of transcritical CO2-operated vortex tubes for heat pump applications.
