The use of ejectors is one of the most promising methods to recover the throttling loss of transcritical CO2 heat pump systems. Experimental investigation on the effect of mixing chamber diameter on the performance of transcritical CO2 heat pump system with ejector was carried out. The mixing chamber diameter was 1.2
1.4 and 1.6 mm
respectively. The hot water inlet temperature
as well as the evaporating temperature was kept constant in all experiments. Hot water outlet temperature as a variable was chosen to be the comparison reference of the experiments. The results showed that the effect of the mixing chamber diameter on the compressor exhaust temperature was relatively small. However
the diameter has a significant effect on the compressor exhaust pressure. The system with 1.6 mm mixing chamber diameter had the lowest compressor exhaust pressure and the highest heating coefficient of performance (COP). Moreover
for the performance of the ejector
the mixing chamber diameter had a greater effect on the entrainment ratio than the pressure lift ratio.
