Abstract

A new type of compact, low cost and highly efficient axial compressor for water vapor has been developed as a result of more than six years of research. The new compressor allows the design and development of competitive, large chillers based on water as refrigerant as an alternative to the traditional refrigerants (HFC’s, ammonia, etc.). The design and testing of the compressor and the direct type heat-exchangers has been performed at Danish Technological Institute. Based on the fundamental results, a prototype commercial chiller has been designed, established and tested by Kobe Steel who has the production rights along with Johnson Controls Denmark.
