Session description

This presentation provides an overview of the main characteristics and challenges associated with the use of R-744 as a refrigerant in modern refrigeration systems. Due to its unique thermodynamic properties, R-744 offers significant environmental advantages and represents an increasingly attractive alternative to traditional refrigerants. However, its application also requires a more sophisticated and carefully engineered system design.
Special attention must be given to the selection and sizing of all key components, particularly heat exchangers, which play a critical role in ensuring system efficiency, reliability, and operational stability. The higher operating pressures and specific performance characteristics of R-744 systems demand advanced engineering solut ...
