Description

Method of high-side pressure regulation in transcritical vapor compression cycle device
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to vapor compression cycle devices such as refrigerating, air-conditioning and heat pump systems, operating under transcritical conditions, and more particularly to a method of high-side pressure regulation maintaining optimum operation with respect to energy con¬ sumption-
Background of the Invention
A co-pending PCT application, publication No. WO 90/07683, discloses a transcritical vapor compression cycle device and a method for regulating its capacity based on modulation of the supercritical high-side pressure. The system consists of a compressor, a gas cooler (condenser) , an internal heat ex¬ changer, an evaporator and a receiver. Capacity control is achieved by varying the liquid inventory of the low pressure refrigerant receiver situated intermediate the evaporator and the compressor, where a throttling valve between the high pressure outlet of the internal heat exchanger and evaporator inlet is applied as steering means. Excessive tests conducted recently on a prototype of the transcritical vapor compression unit show that for some specific applications of the invention, e.g. in mobile air- conditioning units working at varying loads and conditions, the high-side pressure at less than full capacity should be adjusted in accordance with the actual operating conditions (load) of the unit, in order to achieve minimum energy con¬ sumption at the given capacity requirement. The actual opera¬ ting conditions may be defined by refrigerant temperatures or pressures, by external temperatures or by the capacity re¬ quirements. Any available state-of-the-art capacity control system, e.g. on/off, variable capacity compressor or variable speed control, can be used separately and independently of the throttling valve steering in the disclosed circuit to regulate the cooling or heating capacity. Consequently, it was necessary to develop a new throttling valve control strategy to obtain optimal operation with respect to energy consumption of the disclosed vapor compression device.
Object of the invention
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new simple method and means for regulating the high-side pressure in a transcritical vapor compression circuit to achieve minimum energy consumption and optimum operation of the system.
Summary of the invention
The above and other objects of the present invention are achieved by provision of a steering strategy for the throttling valve in the transcritical vapor compression circuit based on application of predetermined values of optimal high-side pressure corresponding to the detected actual operating conditions of the circuit. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the detection of the operating conditions is done by measurement of a temperature at or near the gas cooler (con¬ denser) outlet, and the valve position is modulated to the predetermined set-point pressure by an appropriate control system.
Brief description of the drawings
The invention is described in more details by means of pre¬ ferred embodiments and referring to the attached drawings, Figs. 1-3, where
Fig. 1 is a graph illustrating the theoretical relationship between cooling capacity (Q0) , compressor shaft power
(P) and their ratio (COP) in the transcritical vapor compression cycle at varying high-side pressure, at constant evaporating temperature and gas cooler
(condenser) outlet refrigerant temperature,
Fig. 2 is a graphic illustration of the theoretical re¬ lationship between optimum high-side pressure, providing maximum ratio between cooling capacity and shaft power, and gas cooler (condenser) outlet refrigerant temperature at three different evapora¬ ting temperatures, and
Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a transcritical vapor compression cycle device constructed in ac¬ cordance with a preferred embodiment of the inven¬ tion. Detailed description of the invention
A well known peculiarity of transcritical cycles (operating with the refrigerant compressed to a supercritical pressure in the high-side) is that the coefficient of performance COP, defined as the ratio between the refrigerating capacity and applied compressor shaft power, can be raised by increasing the high-side pressure, while the gas cooler (condenser) outlet refrigerant temperature is maintained mainly constant. This can be illustrated by means of a conventional pressure enthalpy diagram. However, the COP increases with increasing high-side pressure only up to a certain level and then begins to decline as the extra refrigerating effect no longer fully compensates for the extra work of compression.
Thus, for each set of actual operating conditions defined for instance by evaporating temperature and refrigerant temperature at the gas cooler (condenser) outlet, a diagram showing the cooling capacity (Q0) , compressor shaft power (P) and their ratio (COP) as a function of high-side pressure can be pro¬ vided. Fig. 1 illustrates such a diagram generated for refrig¬ erant C02 at a constant evaporating and gas cooler (condenser) outlet temperature, based on theoretical cycle calculations. At a certain high-side pressure corresponding to p1 in Fig. 1, the COP reaches a maximum as indicated.
By combining such results, i.e. corresponding data for gas cooler (condenser) outlet refrigerant temperature, evaporating temperature and high-side pressure providing maximum COP (p') , at varying operating conditions, a new set of data, as shown in Fig. 2 , is provided, which may be applied in the throttling valve steering strategy. By regulating the high-side pressure in accordance with this diagram, a maximum ratio between refrigerating capacity and compressor shaft power will always be maintained. Under maximum load conditions it still may be expedient to operate the system at a discharge pressure well above the level corresponding to maximum COP for a shorter period of time, to limit the compressor volume required and thereby the capital cost and overall energy consumption. At low load conditions, however, a combination of reduced high-side pressure to a predetermined optimum level and capacity regulation conducted by a separate control system will provide minimum energy consumption.
Since varying evaporating temperature has a noticeable effect only at high gas cooler (condenser) outlet refrigerant tempe¬ rature, this influence may be neglected in practice. Thus the detected refrigerant temperature at the gas cooler (condenser) outlet or some other temperature or parameter corresponding to this (e.g. cooling water inlet temperature, ambient air temperature, cooling or heating load) will be the only sig¬ nificant steering parameter required as input for control of the throttling valve.
The use of a back-pressure controller as throttling valve may give certain advantages in that internal compensation for varying refrigerant mass flow and density is obtained. A throttling valve with back-pressure control will keep the inlet pressure, i.e. high-side pressure, at the set point regardless of refrigerant mass flow and inlet refrigerant temperature. The set-point of the back-pressure controller is then regulated by means of an actuator operating in accordance with the pre¬ determined control scheme indicated above.
Example 1
Fig. 3 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the transcritical refrigerating circuit comprising a compressor 10 connected in series to a gas cooler (condenser) 11, an internal counterflow heat exchanger 12 and a throttling valve 13. An evaporator 14 and a low pressure liquid receiver 16 are connected inter¬ mediate the throttling valve and the compressor. A temperature sensor at the gas cooler (condenser) refrigerant outlet 5 provides information on the operating conditions of the circuit to the control system 7 e.g. a microprosessor. The throttling valve 13 is equipped with an actuator 9 and the valve position is automatically modulated in accordance with the predetermined set-point pressure characteristics by the control system.
Example 2
Referring to Figure 3 the circuit is now provided with a throttling valve 13 based on a simple mechanical back-pressure controller eliminating use of the microprocessor and electronic control of the valve shown in Example l. The regulator is equipped with a temperature sensor bulb 5 situated at or near the gas cooler (condenser) refrigerant outlet.
Through a membrane arrangement, the pressure resulting from the sensor bulb temperature mechanically adjusts the set-point of the back-pressure controller according to the gas cooler (condenser) outlet refrigerant temperature. By adjusting spring forces and charge in the sensor 5 an appropriate relation between the temperature and pressure in the actual regulation range may be obtained.
Example 3
The circuit is based on one of the throttling valve control concepts described in Examples 1 or 2, but instead of locating the temperature sensor or sensor bulb at the gas cooler (condenser) refrigerant outlet, the sensor or sensor bulb measures the inlet temperature of the cooling agent to which heat is rejected. By counterflow heat exchange, there is a relation between gas cooler (condenser) refrigerant outlet and cooling medium inlet temperatures, as the refrigerant outlet temperature closely follows the cooling medium inlet tempera¬ ture. The applied cooling medium is normally ambient air or cooling water.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in the drawings and foregoing description in terms of preferred embodiments it is apparent that changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. Thus, e.g. in any of the concepts described in Examples 1 or 2, the signal from a temperature sensor or bulb may be replaced by a signal representing the desired cooling or heating capacity of the system. Due to the correspondence between ambient temperature and load, this signal may serve as a basis for regulating throttling valve set-point pressure.
