Abstract

Abstract CO2 refrigerant and its transcritical cycle system have become the research focus in the refrigeration field due to their advantages of environmentally friendly, safe and low environmental temperature adaptability. This paper summarizes the research progress on the modified methods for the defects of basic transcritical CO2 refrigeration cycle system in recent years. Meanwhile, the technical status of transcritical CO2 refrigeration technology in commercial supermarket refrigeration, heat pump system, automobile air conditioning and artificial ice rink is discussed in detail. Finally, the development of transcritical CO2 refrigeration cycle system is prospected and the key problems to be solved are put forward.
