sCO2 compressor

Delivery, installation, commissioning and acceptance of a compressor for supercritical carbon oxide (sCO2)

The sCO2 compressor will be installed in the CARBOSOLA test facility, where it will be used to compress and transport CO2 in a supercritical state. Here, the CO2 is sucked in by the compressor in a cooler state and at a lower pressure, compressed and partly heated during compression. The compressed CO2 then flows through the experimental facility at the now higher pressure, in which experiments are carried out in a test section provided for this purpose. The pressure of the CO2 is reduced again via a fitting and/or expansion components and cooled by a heat exchanger. The CO2 is then fed back into the compressor.
