Abstract

Abstract: Liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) based cryogenic cooling has shown promising results in terms of wear reduction, productivity increase and energy efficiency when machining high-temperature materials. For process-safe use with low pulsation, CO2 must be fed in the liquid state to cool the process zone. LCO2 is typically stored in riser bottles in which gaseous and liquid aggregate state coexist. A preliminary study has already shown that the liquefied state of the CO2 can be stabilized by pre-cooling. In this paper, the influence of a heat exchanger as a pre-cooling system on the cooling capacity of the CO2 is investigated and the required energy consumption is compared to unstabilized CO2, pressure increased CO2 and compressed air. It has been shown that pre-cooling leads to a more energy-efficient increase in the cooling capacity of the CO2 compared to pressure increased CO2.
