TRANSCRITICAL CO MOBILE HEAT PUMP AND A/C SYSTEM 2 EXPERIMENTAL AND MODEL RESULTS C.W. Bullard, J.M. Yin, P.S. Hrnjak Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Center (ACRC) University of Illinois, 1206 W. Green St. Urbana, IL 61801, USA ABSTRACT This article presents the results of the experimental runs of a prototype of R744 (CO ) 2 refrigeration system operating in a both air conditioning and heat pump mode when heat rejection is done in supercritical region. The prototype system is sized for a compact car. Data presented are in the limited range of operation. Further optimization and extension of operating range is underway. Test facilities for such experiments and systems are described. The prospect of extending the ability of a mobile a/c system to a mobile heat pump operation is very promising. INTRODUCTION Transcritical CO systems are attracting significant attention in last several years not only 2 due their environmental impact, but also due to unexpectedly good performance. The performance of some such systems were presented by Pettersen et al. (1993, 1994, 1997a and b), University of Maryland CEEE, several companies as well as by our group in Yin et al. (1998), Boewe et al. (1999a,b), Beaver et al. (1999a, b), etc… In few earlier articles we have analyzed and compared performance of a prototype of a transcritical CO2
