Abstract

In order to evaluate the performance of carbon dioxide cycle with a sub-cooling loop, a simulation system was developed to predict the steady state of CO₂ trans-critical cycle. Mathematical models are derived to describe the relationships between the system's coefficient of performance and other operating parameters. The mathematical models are based entirely on the basic mass and energy conservation law and thermodynamic and transport properties of carbon dioxide. A parametric study has been conducted in order to investigate the effect of sub-cooling loop and various operating conditions on the cycle performance. An optimal mass fraction of a refrigerant flowing through sub-cooling cycle existed for the given evaporating temperature, high pressure and air inlet temperature through gas cooler.
