CO2 Refrigerant -
I am taking the position that that refrigerating effect requires a liquid-to-vapor change of state. Is that true of CO2?
The refrigerant leaves the compressor as a superheated vapor. Then how does it get cooled below the critical point, about 88º F, and so become a liquid?
Or is there something I'm missing about how CO2 causes refrigerating effect? <g>
BTW: Are you related to David E. Davis ?
