SINTEF Energy Research 13th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE; THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES IN AIR CONDITIONING AND REFRIGERATION INDUSTRY POLITECNICO of MILAN 12th-13th June Summary: Air reversing unit An air reversing, turn-table ECU was designed and experimentally investigated with promising results. The refrigerant circuit can be unchanged, when directing the air through the designated heat exchanger by rotating the entire refrigeration unit. The function of the heat exchanger does not change, i.e. the gascooler can be optimized for a low temperature approaches. No refrigerant charge issues, this can be handled since no ‘dead’ lines are present.

SINTEF Energy Research 13th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE; THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES IN AIR CONDITIONING AND REFRIGERATION INDUSTRY POLITECNICO of MILAN 12th-13th June General Conclusion Efficient R744 RAC split-type units are possible. Turn-table residential AC-units, applying R744 as working fluid, are viable option for many global areas, where both heating and cooling is required during a year. R744 MAC systems are the most efficient, sustainable, non-flammable, environ- mental safe and global solutions for cooling and heating of vehicles in the future.
