The TIAX energy-recovery, CO2-expander technology has demonstrated increases in the efficiency of CO2-based systems by about 25 percent. The design is optimized for capacities between 1 and 50 tons and incorporates design features that hold close clearance between the two scroll parts, while also managing bearing loads with minimum friction losses. The technology can be integrated into a compressor to create a complete, compact system that offers both environmental and economic benefits.
Key Benefits:
- Maximizes energy savings
- Minimizes needs and costs associated with refrigerant recovery
- Meets regulatory requirements
- Enables instant heat
- Operates with high reliability
- Integrates easily with compressors
- Eliminates valves for simplicity and cost
Applicable markets for TIAX CO2 expander technology include:
- Supermarket refrigeration, automotive air conditioning systems
- Window air conditioners and mini-splits using 1 to 2 ton rotary compressors
- Central air conditioning systems using 1.5 to 5.5 ton scroll and reciprocating compressors
- Commercial air conditioning and refrigeration applications using large-capacity compressors
