Sergio Girotto from enEx offered two practical solutions available today for the use of CO2 transcritical systems in Southern European climate. Overfed evaporators (reducing superheat losses) contribute to 10-12% energy savings in all climatic conditions due to lower compression work, at increased reliability and reduced total cost. Combined with a flash vapour recompression and an ejector (reduction of throttling losses) the energy savings in southern climate amount to up to 22% (referred to Italian climate).
