Experimental comparison of mobile A/C systems when operated with transcritical CO{sub}2 versus conventional R134A

摘要

This paper describes the experimental comparison of performance of prototype transcritical CO{sub}2 system for mobile a/c to it's Rl34a counterpart, unit for Ford Escort that was chosen as a representative for the US, European, and Japanesemarkets. The paper presents the design of experiments and facilities for such comparisons and preliminary results.
