CARLY, French manufacturer founded in 1923, which will soon celebrate its 100 years of existence.
As early as in 1997, CARLY launched a breakthrough innovation in the field of oil circuit components: the TURBOIL oil separator, an original and highly efficient product.
TURBOIL patented by CARLY, ensuring then at the time, the best oil / refrigerant separation rates through an original design: breaking speed, change of direction, centrifugation and coalescence phenomenon simultaneously.
Refrigerants such as CO2 require high pressure / high temperature systems to operate. These operating conditions – more extreme than in conventional systems – bring the refrigerant density closer to that of the oil in the compressor. That favors exchanges between the compressor oil on the one hand and the refrigerant on the other hand.
The TURBOIL-P14 project was born within the CARLY teams
CARLY R & D then launched a program of in-depth studies on the complexity of the C02 hydrocarbon separation with the main objective of developing a tailor-made separation solution offering the highest quality standards over a very wide range of installations’ load rate. This intensive program of laboratory analyzes is then carried out by the CARLY R & D team on its pilot plants in its LISSIEU plant near LYON in order to comprehensively evaluate the performance of the main oil separators currently available on the national and international markets.
CARLY R & D was able to confirm the theory developed in the scientific literature (signature of the compressor) and document that
1) the level of fine oil particles in the refrigerant mass flow tends to be systematically higher in high pressure systems. CO2 than in conventional refrigeration systems and
2) its level varies with the refrigeration equipment load factor.
Thus, 20 years after the creation of TURBOIL, CARLY launches the TURBOIL-P14 for transcritical CO2 installations to track the fine particles of oils in CO2.
Whose characteristics are as follows:
1. Superior efficiency
2. Integrity of results over a wide range of equipment load rates (integrity)
3. Maintenance-free / hermetic products
4. 140 bar 160 ° C
5. Vertical and horizontal mounting for certain models
6. Anti back wash system and muffler effect
