Abstract:Due to the harmful effects of synthetic refrigerants, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)n the environment, natural refrigerants like carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) have been attracting great interest. The higher inter-stage superheating of CO 2 makes it difficult to predict the effects of the intercooling on heating performance of a two-stage transcritical CO 2 cycle. In addition, very little is known about the potential of inter-stage heat rejection recovery in the heating perform… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
