Optimization of a transcritical CO2 heat pump cycle for simultaneous cooling and heating applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Energetic and exergetic analyses as well as optimization studies of a transcritical carbon dioxide heat pump system are presented in this article. A computer code has been developed to obtain sub-critical and super-critical thermodynamic and transport properties of carbon dioxide. Estimates for irreversibilities of individual components of the system lead to possible measures for performance improvement. The COP trends indicate that such a system is more suitable for high heating end temperatures and modest cold end temperatures. Expressions for optimum cycle parameters have been developed and these correlations offer useful guidelines for optimal system design and for selecting appropriate operating conditions. q 2004 Elsevier Ltd and IIR.

A transcritical heat pump (THP) cycle using carbon dioxide (CO2) as the refrigerant is known to feature an excellent coefficient of performance (COP) as a thermodynamic system. Using this feature, we are designing and building a system that combines a water-to-water CO2 heat pump with both hot and cold thermal storages know as Thermal Battery (TB) (Blarke, 2012). Smart and effective use of inte...
