Abstract
The compressor is one important component in the transcritical CO2 (carbon dioxide) refrigeration cycle. The CO2 compressor has a small volume at the same refrigeration capacity because its refrigeration capacity per unit volume is large. The radial compressor often used in the CO2 refrigeration cycle has complex internal flow and difficult blade modeling. The paper presented a new centrifugal compressor with radial flow, whose blades are straight and easy to process. Taking a single stage compressor blade for example, the effects of the velocity coefficient, energy head coefficient, rotational speed of the moving blade, blade height, inlet radius and radial distance of the blade on the efficiency and pressure ratio were studied. According to the conclusions, the paper designed and simulated the blades of two compressors of the transcritical CO2 two-stage refrigeration cycle. Simulation result showed that the efficiencies of the two compressors were respectively 84.97% and 87.23%.
