An ejector can transform the expansion energy of the driving flow into the pressure build-up energy of the suction flow. Therefore, by utilizing the ejector instead of the expansion valve for the vapor compression cycle, the performance of the cycle can be greatly improved. Until now, the performance of the vapor compression cycle with the ejector has not been examined sufficiently. Therefore, this paper constructs the simulation model of the vapor compression cycle with the ejector and investigates the performance of that cycle by the simulation. Working fluids are ammonia and CO2. As a result, in case of the ejector efficiency 90%, COP of the vapor compression cycle using ammonia with the ejector is 5% higher than that of the conventional cycle and COP using CO2 with the ejector is 22% higher than that of the conventional cycle.
