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] This work presents the experimental evaluation of the energy efficiency and optimal gas-cooler pressures of a single-stage refrigerating plant working with carbon dioxide as refrigerant in transcritical conditions. ...
