A distinction is made between compression cycles using a single refrigerant, either pure or azeotropic, and those using several refrigerants.

10.1 Single refrigerant or azeotropic compression cycles

10.1.1 Single-stage compression cycle

A single mechanical compression stage is used for cold production at temperatures that are not too low (generally above – 20°C or – 25°C, but also up to – 40°C with certain HFCs such as R 507) and for most heat pumps. Such cycles are extremely widespread....
