Energy and Exergy Analysis of Transcritical Carbon Dioxide Refrigeration Cycle

Abstract

The effects of conventional refrigerants on ozone layer and its effect on global warming are known. Refrigerants based on chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) have been used in refrigeration systems for a long time and are still being used. Instead of these refrigerants, the use of natural refrigerants which are much less harmful to the environment, has been given importance. Carbon dioxide is the first that comes to mind among these fluids. In this study, energy and exergy analysis of transcritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle examined as theoretically. Energy and exergy analysis were made for different evaporator temperatures and outlet temperatures from gas cooler. Exergy losses of each component of the transcritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle were determined. In addition, the first and second law efficiencies of the refrigeration cycle were determined. When the evaporator temperature is -5 oC and the outlet temperature from the gas cooler is 20 oC, the highest exergy efficiency value was determined as 41.19 in this study.
