Reversible R744 (CO2) Heat Pumps applied in public trains

published Jun 07, 2010 - 8 pages

This paper presents opportunity for use of R744 (CO2) as refrigerant in the air conditioning system in public trains. The R744 system shall provide cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. Today 75% of the air conditioning systems in trains use HFC-134a as refrigerant. The GWP of HFC-134a is 1410 while R744 is 1(0). A replacement from HFC-134a to R744 gives possibilities of large environmental savings. Different technical system solutions of the heat pump are presented, each w
