Novel advanced hydraulic CO₂ refrigeration system for multiple sectors.
HYDROCOOL project will develop a novel cooling production concept that will significantly go beyond the state-of-the-art performance.
The solution is based on the hydraulic compression and expansion of CO₂ in a reversible cycle capable of delivering cooling for a wide range of application such as food, data centres or air conditioning [-40ºC;+12ºC]. By switching from solid to fluid dynamics, HYDROCOOL will enable both isothermal compressions using liquid piston fluid and energy recovery between expander and compressor.
HydroCool consortium is composed by partners with complementary and interdisciplinary expertise covering the overall objectives and needs of the Project. The consortium includes partner from Academia, research institutions and SMEs from Spain, France, Luxemburg and Israel.
