Økodesign ‘Chiller’ med naturlige kuldemedier Armin Hafner Kveldsmøte
Introduction • European Directive 2009/125/EC: since2018 chillers with a rated cooling capacity not exceeding 2 MW must fulfill a series of “ecodesign” requirements to be placed on the market and/or put into service • Carbon dioxide (R744) is the an environmentally-friendly refrigerant classified as A1 • R744 is, at least initially, not the first choice for air conditioning or chiller units due to its special thermo-physical properties 2
Aim of the work • This work aims at experimentally proving that R744 chillers can satisfy the ecodesign requirements by recovering part of the available expansion work with the aid of two-phase ejectors. 3
Regulation 2016/2281 • This is the most important executive regulation related to the Ecodesign Directive for comfort chillers • Minimum required seasonal space cooling energy efficiency tier 1 tier 2 Comfort chiller 01.01.2018 01.01.2021 η s,c [%] η s,c [%] Air‐to‐water chillers cooling capacity < 400 kW 149 161 cooling capacity ≥ 400 kW 161 179 Water/brine to water chillers Cooling capacity < 400 kW 196 200 400 kW ≤ cooling capacity < 227 252 1.5 MW 4 cooling capacity ≥ 1.5 MW 245 272

Experimental setup Super‐Smart Facility, sponsored by Advansor 7
Experimental setup: Active (used) parts • Two inverter controlled compressors • GC 1 (glycol cooled) and GC 2 (water cooled) are used, while GC 3 is bypassed • EJ AC indicates a multi-ejector block designed for high entrainment ratio and low pressure lift • EVAP AC,1 indicates a plate heat exchanger evaporator whose heat load is provided by an auxiliary glycol loop 8

Results(2) • Most of the test conditions are very close to the required one • The resulting glycol inlet and outlet temperatures are not even close to the required conditions: – This is due to the fact that the used plate heat exchanger is not designed to handle the required load at these temperature differences (the focus of study is to achieve the required cooling capacity) 12
