摘要
The thermodynamic analysis has been presented in this article using nitrous oxide as the refrigerant in a two-stage transcritical cycle with the vortex tube (TSTCVT) instead of the expansion valve and its results are compared with the two-stage transcritical cycle with the expansion valve (TSTCEV). The evaporator and the gas cooler temperature ranges in both the cycles have been considered between -55 degrees C to 5 degrees C and 35 degrees C to 60 degrees C for the analysis. Gas cooler and intercooler pressures are simultaneously optimised to obtain the maximum cooling coefficient of performance (COP). The COP of the TSTCVT improves by 1.97-27.19% in comparison to TSTCEV. A decrease in evaporator temperature and an increase in gas cooler exit temperature reduce the COP of TSTCVT. The comparison of refrigerants N2O and CO2 in TSTCVT shows that N2O exhibits higher cooling COP, higher second law of efficiency and lower optimum gas cooler pressure under the considered operating conditions.
