When CO2 is used for refrigeration, it utilizes the heat absorption and expansion of low-temperature CO2, and then the expanded CO2 gas is compressed to release heat so that it can be recycled and complete the absorption of heat.

[0003] When CO2 is cooled, coolant is used to absorb the heat in the gas. When the coolant is introduced, there will be a large impact force when it enters the pipeline. This impact force will affect the refrigeration equipment, causing the refrigeration equipment to shake, which is not conducive to the use of the equipment. Utility Model Content
