This work analyses and compares two approaches to evaluate the boiling heat transfer of CO2 in a real evaporation process: classical empirical correlations and flow pattern maps. We develop a finite-volume mathematical ...
[EN] This work presents a mathematical model of a shell-and-tube evaporator based on mass continuity, energy conservation and heat transfer physical fundamentals. The model is formulated as a control volume combination ...
[EN] This work presents a mathematical model of a shell-and-tube condenser based on mass continuity, energy conservation and heat transfer
physical fundamentals, whose methodology can be easily adapted for modelling any ...
The aim of the present paper is to describe a general methodology suitable for analysing any intermediate configuration considered in staged vapour compression refrigeration cycles. This general methodology only depends ...
[EN] In this paper, a simplified model for the study of shell-and-tubes heat exchangers (HXs) is proposed. The model aims to agree with the HXs when they are working as condensers or evaporators. Despite its simplicity, ...
[EN] Based on a previously developed and validated steady-state model of a single-stage vapour compression plant, the present paper describes an in-depth study directed to examine the consequences of changes in the operating ...

EN] Refrigeration is one of the technology sectors that has sufered the most changes in the last twenty years,
because of the negative impact of the fuids used in the refrigeration cycles, i.e., refrigerants, due to ...
[EN] This work presents an experimental evaluation, from an energy analysis point of view, for two of the most used inter-stage systems in two-stage vapour compression cycles driven by compound compressors: the direct ...
The gas-cooler heat exchanger is a characteristic device of the refrigeration plants that use CO2 as the working fluid in transcritical conditions. The proper gas-cooler sizing, allows getting the maximum effectiveness in ...
Unlike other refrigerants, R744 (or carbon dioxide) has a very low critical temperature (30.98 C) which
hampers working in subcritical conditions especially when the environment is used as a heat rejection
sink. ...
[EN] The performance of an Internal Heat Exchanger (IHX) operating in a CO 2 transcritical refrigeration plant is analysed, from an energetic point of view, in this work. The evaluation is based on experimental data by ...
International agreements will restrict in the near future the use of high-GWP refrigerants in Europe.
These restrictions will favour the implantation of refrigeration systems with low-GWP fluids, especially
in applications ...
[EN] In this work the possibilities of enhancing the energy performance of CO2 transcritical
refrigeration systems using a dedicated mechanical subcooling cycle are analysed theoretically.
Using simplified models of the ...
This work focuses on the investigation of new drop-in or long-term refrigerants for low evaporating
temperatures that can be used as substitutes for HCFC-22, which is gradually being phased-out. This
process is already ...
