EXPLORE A TIMELY AND COMPREHENSIVE INTRODUCTION TO CO₂ HEAT PUMP THEORY AND USAGE

Transcritical CO₂ Heat Pumps: Fundamentals and Applications delivers a complete introduction to both refrigeration and heating cycles using CO₂ as the working fluid. The book explores the basic theories, devices, systems, cycles, and real-world designs for a variety of applications, including residential water heaters, commercial HVAC systems, space heating, and residential, commercial, and industrial heat pumps.

The distinguished authors describe why CO₂ has received a great deal of attention in the trans-critical compression refrigeration thermodynamics cycle of air conditioners and heat pumps. They also discuss why CO₂ refrigeration and heat pumps are expected to be at the forefront of future technology both in the lab and in the market.

You’ll discover the fundamental properties of CO₂ as well as a variety of common and useful applications of the technology, like revised Carnot cycle heating and cooling equipment. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

Perfect for researchers and practicing engineers in the fields of HVAC and refrigeration, Transcritical CO₂ Heat Pumps: Fundamentals and Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering and thermodynamics programs.
