Energetic and Exergetic Analysis of a Transcritical N2O Refrigeration Cycle with an Expander

Comparative energy and exergy investigations are reported for a transcritical N2O refrigeration cycle with a throttling valve or with an expander when the gas cooler exit temperature varies from 30 to 55 °C and the evaporating temperature varies from −40 to 10 °C. The system performance is also comp...
