C02 refrigeration systems
(OP)
Hello all,
HFCs as a refrigerant can be used in simple refrigeration systems, i.e. system incorperating, compressor, oil seperator, condenser, control/expansion valve, evaporator, and accumulator. However, HFCs are being wend out of the automotive industry and carbon dioxide refrigerants are replacing them. C02 refrigerant, due to its thermodynamic properties, can achieve a C.O.P. compairable to HFC refrigerant C.O.P. only when used in a modified refrigeration system. Does any one have any insight as to what is incorperated in a modified system. Thank you for your time.

1) the reed valves are different shapes.
2) the pressures are much much higher.
More could probably be found by googling the topic a few ways.

The above is 40F vaporizer temp and 120 F condensor temp
