The application of carbon dioxide (CO2)
refrigeration systems is not new. Carbondioxide was first proposed as a refrigerant byAlexander Twining [1], who mentioned it in hisBritish patent in 1850. Thaddeus S.C. Loweexperimented with CO2 military balloons, buthe also designed an ice machine with CO2 in1867. Lowe also developed a machineonboard a ship for transportation of frozenmeat.
From reading the literature it can be seen thatCO2 refrigerant systems were developedduring the following years and they were attheir peak in the 1920's and early 1930's. CO2was generally the preferred choice for use on
board ships whilst ammonia (NH3 or R717)was more common in land applications [2].With the advent of the "Freon" refrigerantsinitially R12, the application of CO2 lessened.The main reason for its decline was certainlythe rapid loss of capacity and need forpressure increase at high temperatures.
Ammonia has continued to be the dominantrefrigerant for industrial refrigerationapplications over the years.
Introduction
In the 1990's there was renewed focus of the
advantages offered by using CO2, due toODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and GWP(Global Warming Potential), which hasrestricted the use of CFC's and HFC's andrestrictions on the refrigerant charge in largeammonia systems.
CO2 belongs to the so-called "Natural"refrigerants, together with e.g. ammonia,hydrocarbons such as propane and butane,and water. All of these refrigerants have theirrespective disadvantages: Ammonia is toxic,hydrocarbons are flammable, and water haslimited application possibilities. Incomparison, CO2 is non-toxic and non-
flammable, but has a double role in theenvironment. CO2 is necessary for all life onearth, but is also a green house gas, whichcan change the environment if itsconcentration in the atmosphere changes.

Characteristics of CO2The pressure-enthalpy diagram for CO2 isshown in fig 1. The pressure-temperaturediagram for CO2 is shown in fig 2.
Thermodynamic properties of CO2 seem tobe similar to many other commonrefrigerants, but there are some exceptions:The triple point of CO2 occurs at higherpressure and temperature than all othercommon refrigerants.The triple point for CO2 is much higher thanfor all other common refrigerants(see table 1). In the pressure-enthalpydiagram (see fig 1), the triple point is actuallya line at a pressure of 5.18 bar, and atemperature of 56.6C. In the triple point, anequilibrium of CO2 vapour, liquid and solidexists.
CO2 as a refrigerant The critical pressure of CO2 is 73.6 bar, andthe critical temperature is + 31C. In thesupercritical phase, CO2 has propertieswhich are almost similar to a high-densityvapour.
Note:CO2 is a unique substance usedfor many different purposes inother industries. E.g.- By increasing pressure, CO2
becomes a solvent. This isutilized in extraction of onesubstance from another, andfor cleaning processes.
- CO2 solid can be used as asubstitute for sand in"sandblasting".

Article CO2 - Refrigerant for Industrial Refrigeration
The high-saturated pressure at ambienttemperature is often the first barrier thatneeds to be considered when proposing CO2as a refrigerant. At a temperature of 20C, thesaturated pressure is 57.2 bar. The design of
CO2 refrigeration systems depends verymuch on the application.
There are a number of different ways thatCO2 can be utilised. A single stage subcriticalCO2 system is simple but it also hasdisadvantages due to the limitation intemperature and high pressure.
The transcritical (supercritical) CO2 systemsare only interesting for small systems, wheresystem pressure is not an important designfeature. A number of research programs arerunning in the automotive industry for air-conditioning, but also for residential air-
conditioning (e.g. Japan).
CO2 as a refrigerant(cont.)
CO2 in hybrid systems is the most commonsystem design in industrial refrigeration,because the pressure can be limited to alevel where the requirements for componentslike compressors, controls and valves only
differ slightly compared to traditionallyindustrial refrigeration plants.
CO2 systems can be designed in differentways e.g. direct expansion systems, pumpcirculating systems or CO2 in secondary"brine" systems. Some common industrialsystems are described on pages 6 and 7.

CO2 as a refrigerant inindustrial systems
Figure. 5 shows a low temperaturerefrigerating system (40C) using CO2 as aphase change refrigerant in a cascadesystem with ammonia on the high-pressureside.
The CO2 system is a pump circulatingsystem where the liquid CO2 is pumped fromthe receiver to the evaporator, where it ispartly evaporated, before it returns to thereceiver.
The evaporated CO2 is then compressed in aCO2 compressor, and condensed in the CO2-NH3 heat exchanger. The heat exchangeracts as an evaporator in the NH3 system.
Figure. 6 shows the same system as in fig 5,but includes a CO2 hot gas defrosting system.

1.The pressure during stand still.The pressure during stand still can be veryhigh and this has to be taken intoconsideration:
A small separate refrigeration systemcan be used to keep the liquidtemperature at a level, where thesaturated pressure is lower than thedesign pressure
Designing the system with an expansionvessel of a size that prevents thepressure from exceeding the designpressure.
Designing the plant so that it canwithstand the saturated pressure at thedesign temperature (approx. 80 bar)
From Danfoss' experience, it would appearthat the most common solution forindustrial refrigeration applications, is touse a small separate refrigeration systemto cool down the liquid CO2.
2.Defrosting pressure by CO2 hot gasdefrosting:
Depending on the actual design, differentways of defrosting can be applied (natural,water, electrical or CO2 hot gas defrosting).The CO2 hot gas defrosting is the mostefficient, especially at low temperatures,but it also has the highest pressuredemand. With a design pressure of PS=50bar, it is possible to reach a defrosting
temperature of approx. 9-10C.The saturated pressure at 9C is43.9 bar-g. By adding 10% for the safetyvalves and approx. 5% for pressure peaks,the requirement is for pressure PS ~50 bar-g. (See figure 8 and 9).
There is not one common method toperform defrosting. All methods, asdescribed above, are used, depending onthe system, but also on the availability ofsuitable compressors and othercomponents.

EN 378 classifies CO2 as a L1 non-toxic,non-flammable refrigerant and ammonia asa L2 toxic refrigerant. Even though NH3 hasbeen used for many years, the requirementshave become more restricted in recent years,in particular in some European countries.Therefore, there is a great interest in

Material compatibility CO2 is compatible with almost all commonmetallic materials, unlike NH3. There are norestrictions from a compatibility point of view,when using copper or brass.The compatibility of CO2 and polymers is
much more complex. Because CO2 is a veryinert and stable substance, the chemical
reaction with polymers is not critical. Themain concern with CO2 is the physiochemicaleffects, such as permeation, swelling andthe generation of cavities and internalfractures. These effects are connected with
the solubility and diffusivity of CO2 in theactual material.
Approximation of relative permeation, diffusion and solubility of different gases in polymers [4].
Explanation
The permeation "Q" indicates the amount of gas
penetrating into the material.
The permeation depends on pressure and in
particular the temperature.
The diffusion "D" indicates the amount of gas
passing through the material.
Danfoss has carried out a number of tests toensure that components released for usewith CO2 can withstand the impact of CO2 inall aspects.The tests have shown that CO2 is different,and modifications have to be made on some
products. The large amount of CO2, whichcan dissolve in polymers, has to be takeninto consideration. Some commonly used
polymers are not compatable with CO2, andothers require different fixing methods e.g.sealing materials.When the pressure is close to the criticalpressure and the temperature is high, theimpact on polymers is much more extreme.
However, those conditions are not importantfor industrial refrigeration as pressure andtemperatures are lower for these systems.
Water in CO2 systems In NH3 systems it is well known that there arereaction problems with oil, oxygen, water andsolid contaminations, but these are allhandled today by frequent oil changes, anduse of air purges. Compared to NH3, CO2 isless sensitive, but if water is present,problems may occur.
The solubility "S" indicates the amount of gas
dissolved (accumulated in) the material.
S/D indicates the sensitivity of creating blisters and
fractures in polymers. The high value of S/D for
CO2 indicates that CO2 is one of the strongest
promoters.

How can water penetrate into a CO2 system? The pressure of CO2 systems is always
above the atmospheric pressure; thereforethere are no risks that leaks may causepenetration of H2O into the system.
When charging CO2, there are differentspecifications of CO2. Some of them allowrelative high amounts of water.
CO2 is treated as a very safe refrigerant,and is therefore handled without followingthe normal safety requirements. If a systemis opened up, air can penetrate into it, andthe moisture can condense inside thetubes. If the system is not evacuatedproperly, some water may well be retained.

The acceptable amount of water in CO2systems is much lower than in systems withother common refrigerants.
If the water content exceeds the dew-point,and the temperature is below 0C, the waterwill freeze, creating a risk of problems withequipment in the system e.g. blocking controlvalves.
The water can very easily be removed bymounting a drier in the system.
Driers in CO2 are very efficient, and arenormally mounted in the liquid line to avoidany unnecessary pressure drops beingcreated.

The most critical leak in a CO2-NH3 cascade

contaminated. The solid substance
ammonium carbonate is formed immediatelywhen CO2 is in contact with NH3. Ammoniumcarbonate is corrosive [5].
Safety valves in CO2systems
Due to the Thermodynamic properties ofCO2, in particular the triple point, which islocated at much higher pressure than for allother common refrigerants, the formation ofsolid CO2 can occur.If a safety valve is mounted in a CO2 systemat e.g. 50 bar, the pressure in thedownstream (outlet) line from the safety valvewill pass the triple point at 5.2 bar. Below the
triple point, CO2 will change from a mixture of
liquid and vapour into a mixture of solid andvapour .The formation of solid CO2 in thedownstream line can, in the worst case,block this line. The most efficient solution tothis problem is to mount the safety valvewithout an outlet line, thus blowing directlyinto the atmosphere. The phase change ofthe CO2 does not take place directly in thevalve, but just after the valve, and in this case
in the atmosphere

As previously mentioned, CO2 is classifiedas a non-toxic refrigerant, but unlike NH3, CO2has no distinctive smell.
The availability of components for CO2industrial refrigeration systems havingreduced pressure to approx. 30 bar is good.Several manufacturers of equipment for thetraditional refrigerants can also supply somecomponents for CO2 systems, but theavailability of higher-pressure components forCO2 industrial refrigeration systems is limited.An important factor in the speed of
introducing CO2 systems, is very muchdependent on the availability of criticalcomponents for high pressure CO2.Within the area of industrial refrigeration, CO2will not replace ammonia. The industrial CO2systems are all hybrid systems, which alsorequire ammonia on the high temperatureside of the system, but only with a smallammonia charge.

Conclusion
Safety Aspects of CO2 [6]
Carbon dioxide replaces air, and causes lackof oxygen. In the presence of sufficientoxygen, CO2 has a narcotic effect at stronger
concentrations. With smaller amounts, CO2has a stimulating effect on the respiratory
centre. Due to the acidic characteristics ofCO2, a certain local irritation may appear,particularly on the mucous membrane of the
nose, throat and eyes, and it may inducecoughing, as well.
The symptoms associated with theinhalation of air containing carbon dioxideare, with increasing carbon dioxideconcentrations.
