Abstract
⺠A new methodology for the general energy evaluation of inter-stage configurations in two-stage vapour compression systems is set out. ⺠This methodology allows comparing any intermediate configuration by means of two characteristic parameters, the subcooling and desuperheating parameters. ⺠Seven intermediate configurations (the most known) are analysed and compared for refrigerants R-717 and R-404A. ⺠We can conclude that subcooling is always positive for COP, but the desuperheating influence on COP will depend strongly on the refrigerant behaviour.
