Abstract: A hybrid jet-pump CO 2 compression system that may enhance system COP and reduce the environmental impact of transport refrigeration is analysed. At an evaporator temperature of −15°C, an ambient temperature of 35°C and a generator temperature of 120°C, COP increases from 1.0 to 2.27 as subcooling increases from 0 to 20 K. Compressor work is reduced by 24% at 20 K subcooling. The optimum degree of subcooling was ∼10 K for the operating conditions examined. COP is improved while the size of heat exchangers required to operate the jet pump are minimised with respect to the overall weight of the system. Copyright , Oxford University Press.
