The specific embodiment
Referring to accompanying drawing and especially referring to Fig. 1, the exemplary embodiment according to the refrigerant system of present disclosure is shown, generally by Reference numeral 10 expressions.
Refrigerant system 10 comprises cooling refrigeration agent loop 12, reheat refrigerant circuit 14 and bypass refrigerant loop 16.Refrigerant system 10 is configured to utilize reheat refrigerant circuit 14 and bypass refrigerant loop 16 during evaporator defrost.
Cooling refrigeration agent loop 12 comprises compressor 18, heat dissipation heat exchanger 20, expansion gear 22 and evaporimeter 24, and all these devices are communicated with to use known cold-producing medium (not shown) that (for example) cooling or heating function are provided each other in fluid in a known way.Refrigerant system 10 also comprises heat dissipation heat exchanger fan 26, evaporator fan 28 and refrigerant system controller 30.
Reheat refrigerant circuit 14 comprises hot coil 32 and first thermal valve 34-1 and second thermal valve 34-2 more again, and bypass circulation 16 comprises by-passing valve 36.First again thermal valve 34-1 be generally triple valve and second again thermal valve 34-2 be check-valves.
Controller 30 and compressor 18, heat dissipation heat exchanger fan 26, evaporator fan 28, first be thermal valve 34-1 and by-passing valve 36 electric connections again.In certain embodiments, controller 30 also can with compressor 18, expansion gear 22 and/or second thermal valve 34-2 electric connection again.In this way, controller 30 is configured to control the operation of each member of refrigerant system 10.
Controller 30 is configured to normal or conventional refrigerating mode (Fig. 1), heat or conventional dehumidification mode (Fig. 2) and defrosting mode (Fig. 3) are operated refrigerant system 10 again.Refrigerant system 10 need not extra or special defroster with the defrosting mode operation, such as electric heater.On the contrary, present disclosure has determined that refrigerant system 10 can provide the defrost operation pattern by the existing member that uses reheat refrigerant circuit 14 simply.More particularly, refrigerant system 10 is configured to control evaporator fan 28 promoting air in first normal direction during normal mode and hot again operator scheme, but promotes air at second rightabout during the defrost operation pattern.
The normal manipulation mode of refrigerant system 10 has been described referring to Fig. 1.
Herein, compressor 18 sucks the low pressure refrigerant 40 of vapor form and this low-pressure steam cold-producing medium is compressed into high pressure and high temperature refrigerant 42.Vapor refrigerant flows to heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 from compressor 18.Controller 30 control by-passing valves 36 make cold-producing medium 42 flow through heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 and do not pass through bypass refrigerant loop 16 to the closed position.Therefore, controller 30 control by-passing valves 36 make that bypass refrigerant loop 16 is not communicated with the 12 one-tenth fluids in cooling refrigeration agent loop during normal manipulation mode.
Heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 serves as condenser in subcritical cycle, perhaps in striding critical cycle, serve as gas cooler, wherein with conduct heat such as a secondary fluid of outside or surrounding air 44 interact during, a secondary fluid is forced by heat dissipation heat exchanger fan 26 and passes heat dissipation heat exchanger 20.In this way, in subcritical applications, vapor refrigerant 42 is condensed into liquid refrigerant 46 and common cold excessively point by desuperheat to it, perhaps just be cooled to thermodynamic state 46 from thermodynamic state 42 simply in striding critical applications.As everyone knows, the alternative fan 26 of liquid pump comes pumping secondary loop liquid, and secondary loop liquid instead of external or surrounding air 44 are carried out to conduct heat in heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 and interacted.
Cold-producing medium 46 comes out to flow to expansion gear 22 from heat dissipation heat exchanger 20.Controller 30 controls first thermal valve 34-1 again make cold-producing medium 46 by expansion gear 22 and not mobile by reheat refrigerant circuit 14 to the closed position.Therefore, controller 30 control first again thermal valve 34-1 make during normal or conventional cooling down operation pattern reheat refrigerant circuit 14 with 12 the one-tenths fluids connections in cooling refrigeration agent loop.
In certain embodiments, second again thermal valve 34-2 can be check-valves, it guarantees that cold-producing medium 46 does not enter reheat refrigerant circuit 14.In other embodiments, second again thermal valve 34-2 can with controller 30 electric connections, controller 30 during normal manipulation mode, control second again thermal valve 34-2 to the closed position to guarantee that cold-producing medium 46 does not enter reheat refrigerant circuit 14.
Expansion gear 22 is expanded to the two-phase mixture cold-producing medium 48 of lower pressure, lower temperature with cold-producing medium 46, and it flow in the evaporimeter 24.In certain embodiments, expansion gear 22 is heating power expansion valve or fixed constraints expansion gear, and in other embodiments, expansion gear can be electronic expansion device (EXV), itself and controller 30 electric connections.
Evaporimeter 24 serves as and is subjected to heat-heat exchanger, takes place to conduct heat between cold-producing medium and room air 50 to interact in this evaporimeter, and room air 50 is forced at first direction 54 by evaporator fan 28 and passes evaporimeter 24.In this way, low-pressure steam cold-producing medium 40 is got back in cold-producing medium 48 evaporation, and room air 50 is cooled and the conditioned air 52 that dehumidifies usually and be fed to climate controlled space or zone to provide.Usually the vapor refrigerant 40 that is in the thermodynamics superheat state flow back into compressor 18 from evaporimeter 24 then.
Can see, again room air 50 mobile the be positioned downstream in first direction 54 of hot coil 32 about causing by evaporator fan 28.But because thermal valve 34-1,34-2 are in the closed position again, the flowing of the conditioned air 52 by hot coil 32 again do not cause any further adjusting of this conditioned air or heat again.
Therefore, during refrigerant system 10 normal manipulation modes, controller 30 starting compressors 18, starting heat dissipation heat exchanger fan 26, close by-passing valve 36, close thermal valve 34-1 and 34-2 again, start expansion valve 22 where necessary, and starting evaporator fan 28 passes evaporimeter 24 and hot coil 32 again to force room air 50 at first direction.Because controller 30 control evaporator fans 28 are to promote room air 50 at first direction 54, this room air is forced to pass earlier evaporimeter 24, passes hot coil 32 then again.
In the embodiment that Fig. 1 described, refrigerant system 10 is configured to promote room air 50 in 56 rotations of first direction of rotation at first direction 54 by control evaporator fan 28.Should be noted that evaporator fan 28 can be variable speed model and makes controller 30 also can control the speed of evaporator fan 28 (if needs).
The hot again operator scheme of refrigerant system 10 is described referring to Fig. 2.
Generally speaking, refrigerant system 10 is being operated in the mode substantially the same with normal mode in the heat pattern again, except controller 30 control first again thermal valve 34-1 make cold-producing medium 46 flow through reheat refrigerant circuit 14 earlier and then only by expansion gear 22 to open position.Therefore, controller 30 control first again thermal valve 34-1 make 12 one-tenth fluids connections of reheat refrigerant circuit 14 and cooling refrigeration agent loop during hot operator scheme again.
In use, compressor 18 sucks the low pressure refrigerant 40 of vapor form and this low-pressure steam cold-producing medium is compressed into high pressure, high temperature refrigerant 42.Vapor refrigerant flows to heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 from compressor 18.
Controller 30 can control by-passing valve 36 to cutting out or part/fully open position makes high pressure and high-temperature steam cold-producing medium 42 can flow through heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 and by bypass refrigerant loop 16, perhaps by heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 and bypass refrigerant loop 16.Therefore, controller 30 control by-passing valves 36 make during hot operator scheme again bypass refrigerant loop 16 to be communicated with 12 the one-tenths fluids in cooling refrigeration agent loop or can be and the 12 one-tenth fluids connections in cooling refrigeration agent loop.As indicated above, depend on the dehumidifying demand in the climate controlled space, in certain embodiments, controller 30 can be controlled by-passing valve 36 and makes the part of cold-producing medium 42 flow through heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 and remainder flows through bypass refrigerant loop 16 to partially opening the position.
Heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 serves as condenser in subcritical cycle, perhaps in striding critical cycle, serve as gas cooler, wherein during interacting with outside or surrounding air 44 heat transfers, outside or surrounding air 44 are forced by heat dissipation heat exchanger fan 26 and pass heat dissipation heat exchanger 20.In this way, in subcritical applications, vapor refrigerant 42 is condensed into liquid refrigerant 46 and common cold excessively point by desuperheat to it, perhaps just is cooled to thermodynamic state 46 from thermodynamic state 42 simply in striding critical applications.Equally, the liquid pump can replace fan 26 to come pumping secondary loop liquid, and secondary loop liquid instead of external or surrounding air 44 are carried out to conduct heat in heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 and interacted.
Cold-producing medium 46 comes out to flow to the first thermal valve 34-1 again from heat dissipation heat exchanger 20.Controller 30 control first thermal valve 34-1 again makes cold-producing medium 46 flow through hot coil 32 to open position again, by the second thermal valve 34-2 and only flowing in the expansion gear 22 then again.
In certain embodiments, second again thermal valve 34-2 can be check-valves, it allows cold-producing medium 46 to come out to get back to cooling refrigeration agent loop 12 from reheat refrigerant circuit 14.In other embodiments, second again thermal valve 34-2 can with controller 30 electric connections, its during hot operator scheme again control second again thermal valve 34-2 enter cooling refrigeration agent loop 12 once more to allow cold-producing medium 46 to open position.
Because cold-producing medium 46 is not expanded by expansion gear 22 as yet, the thermal capacity that can use cold-producing medium 46 is with the hot again conditioned air 52 of the mode that hereinafter discusses in more detail.
Expansion gear 22 expand into low-pressure low-temperature two-phase mixture cold-producing medium 48 with cold-producing medium 46 and flow in the evaporimeter 24.Evaporimeter 24 serves as and is subjected to heat-heat exchanger, wherein takes place to conduct heat between cold-producing medium and room air 50 to interact, and room air 50 is forced by evaporator fan 28 and passes evaporimeter 24.In this way, low-pressure steam cold-producing medium 40 is got back in cold-producing medium 48 evaporation, and room air 50 is cooled and usually by dehumidifying so that conditioned air 52 to be provided, conditioned air 52 is provided to climate controlled space or zone.Usually the vapor refrigerant 40 that is in overheated thermodynamic state flows back to compressor 18 from evaporimeter 24 then.
Can see that hot coil 32 is about by mobile the be positioned downstream of evaporator fan 28 caused room airs 50 in first direction 54 again.Because cold-producing medium 46 is just flowing through hot coil 32 again, conditioned air 52 flows through hot coil 32 again and makes that again hot coil 32 serves as heat dissipation heat exchanger, wherein take place from the cold-producing medium to the air the biography reheat heat this air, and wherein conditioned air 52 is forced by evaporator fan 28 and passes hot coil 32 again.In this way, conditioned air 52 can reheat to temperature desired by hot coil 32 again and keep desirable humidity to provide by the air 58 of heat again by evaporimeter 24 simultaneously.
Therefore, during the hot again operator scheme of refrigerant system 10, controller 30 starting compressors 18, starting heat dissipation heat exchanger fan 26, control by-passing valve 36, open the first thermal valve 34-1 again, start expansion valve 22 and starting evaporator fan 28 where necessary and pass evaporimeter 24 and hot coil 32 again at first direction 54 to force room air 50.Therefore, thereby controller 30 control evaporator fans 28 force room air 50 to pass evaporimeter 24 earlier to promote air at first direction 54, pass hot coil 32 then to provide by the air 58 of heat more again.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, refrigerant system 10 is configured to rotate in first direction of rotation 56 and force room air 50 at first direction 54 by control evaporator fan 28.
Will be appreciated that many reheat loop schematic diagrames are known in the air-conditioning technical.Therefore, Fig. 2 schematic diagram is exemplary, and any refrigerant system that has merged any other reheat loop configuration can be benefited from present disclosure equally.
The defrost operation pattern of refrigerant system 10 is described referring to Fig. 3.
Substantially, refrigerant system 10 in defrosting mode to operate with the substantially the same mode of heat pattern again, preferably control by-passing valve 36 except controller 30 and make at least a portion of high pressure, high temperature refrigerant 42 flow through bypass refrigerant loop 16 but not heat dissipation heat exchanger 20, and the flow direction that makes room air 50 pass evaporimeter 24 is reversed second direction 60 (Fig. 3) from first direction 54 (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) to open position.In addition, bypass refrigerant loop 16 can be designed to basically, and all vapor refrigerant 42 flow through bypass refrigerant loop 16, perhaps alternatively, cut-off electromagnetic valve (not shown) can be positioned over heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 upstreams and flows by any of heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 to prevent vapor refrigerant 42.
In the defrost operation pattern, compressor 18 sucks the low pressure refrigerant 40 of vapor form and this low-pressure steam cold-producing medium is compressed into high pressure, high temperature refrigerant 42.Vapor refrigerant 42 flows to heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 and bypass refrigerant loop 16 from compressor 18.
Controller 30 is preferably controlled by-passing valve 36 and is made at least a portion of vapor refrigerant 42 not flow through by heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 to open position but flow through by bypass refrigerant loop 16.In addition, in certain embodiments, controller 30 can control heat dissipation heat exchanger fan 26 to off-state to prevent any available heat exchange between the cold-producing medium and surrounding air in the heat dissipation heat exchanger 20.In this way, during the defrost operation pattern, controller 30 preferably is placed to bypass refrigerant loop 16 with the 12 one-tenth fluids connections in cooling refrigeration agent loop and makes high pressure, high temperature refrigerant 42 flow in the reheat refrigerant circuit 14, thereby provides bigger thermal capacity during the defrost operation pattern.
But in certain embodiments, controller 30 can be controlled by-passing valve 36 makes the part of vapor refrigerant 42 flow through heat dissipation heat exchanger 20 and remainder flows through bypass circulation 16 to partially opening the position.In addition, in certain embodiments, controller 30 can control heat dissipation heat exchanger fan 26 to off-state to prevent any available heat exchange between the cold-producing medium and surrounding air in the heat dissipation heat exchanger 20.And, should be noted that in some cases such as refrigerant charge migration excessive under some environmental conditions, controller 30 can be controlled by-passing valve 36 to the closed position.
High pressure, high temperature refrigerant 42A comes out to flow to the first thermal valve 34-1 again from bypass refrigerant loop 16 and/or heat dissipation heat exchanger 20.Controller 30 control first thermal valve 34-1 again makes high pressure, high temperature refrigerant 42A flow through hot coil 32 to open position again, by the second thermal valve 34-2 and only flowing in the expansion gear 22 then again.
In certain embodiments, second again thermal valve 34-2 can be check-valves, it allows cold-producing medium 42B to come out to get back to cooling refrigeration agent loop 12 from reheat refrigerant circuit 14.In other embodiments, second again thermal valve 34-2 can with controller 30 electric connections, during the defrost operation pattern, controller 30 control second thermal valve 34-2 is again returned to allow cold-producing medium 42B to enter the cooling refrigeration agent once more to open position. road 12.
Present disclosure has determined that the heat (being aided with the heat that evaporator fan 28 provides) of cold-producing medium 42A can be used for being reversed second direction 60 (Fig. 3) by the flow direction that makes the room air 50 that passes evaporimeter 24 simply from first direction 54 (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) in the mode that hereinafter discusses in more detail and makes evaporimeter 24 defrostings.
Because cold-producing medium 42A drag flow fortune promotes room airs 50 by hot coil 32 again and in second direction 60, this room air 50 is heated into air 62 in the hot cell by the cold-producing medium that flows through again hot coil 32, forces subsequently that air 62 passes evaporimeter 24 in this hot cell.
Herein, hot coil 32 serves as heat dissipation heat exchanger again, and wherein heat is transferred to room air 50 from cold-producing medium 42A, and room air 50 is forced by evaporator fan 28 and passes hot coil 32 again.In this way, room air 50 can be heated to temperature desired and make the air 62 fusible any frosts that formed in the hot cell on the outer surface of evaporimeter 24.
In addition, hot coil 32 serves as heat dissipation heat exchanger again, wherein make that desuperheat is condensed into the point of liquid refrigerant 42B to it under the situation of vapor refrigerant 42A at condenser during interacting conducting heat with room air 50, liquid refrigerant 42B is then usually by cold excessively, and is cooled to thermodynamic state 42B under the situation of gas cooler simply.Expansion gear 22 expand into low-pressure low-temperature two-phase mixture cold-producing medium 48 with cold-producing medium 42B and makes it to flow in the evaporimeter 24.Evaporimeter 24 serves as and is subjected to heat-heat exchanger, wherein takes place between the air 62 to conduct heat in cold-producing medium 48 and hot cell to interact, and air is forced by evaporator fan 28 and passes evaporimeter 24 in the hot cell.In this way, low-pressure steam cold-producing medium 40 is got back in cold-producing medium 48 evaporations, and air 62 is cooled so that air 64 to be provided in the hot cell.Vapor refrigerant 40 flows back to compressor 18 from evaporimeter 24 then.
Therefore, during the defrost operation pattern of refrigerant system 10, controller 30 starting compressors 18, inactive where necessary heat dissipation heat exchanger fan 26, open (if needs) by-passing valve 36, open the first thermal valve 34-1 again, control (if needs) expansion valve 22, and make evaporator fan 28 force room air 50 to pass evaporimeter 24 and hot coil 32 again in second direction 60.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, refrigerant system 10 can by control evaporator fan 28 in second direction of rotation 66 (it is opposite with first direction of rotation 56) thus rotation at second direction 60 promotion room airs 50.
Will be appreciated that refrigerant system 10 describes in illustrational mode hereinbefore, it is provided at the room air 50 of first direction 54 and second direction 60 by the direction of rotation that changes evaporator fan 28 between first direction of rotation 56 and second direction of rotation 66.Certainly, present disclosure contemplates the room air 50 that refrigerant system 10 is configured to be provided at by any way first direction 54 and second direction 60.Should be appreciated that when controller 30 and operate this refrigerant system 10 with defrosting mode and when second direction 60 moves room air 50, but outside air 64 guide chamber that evaporimeter 24 comes out, indoor or any other assigned position.
Will be appreciated that axial fan and transverse fan are suitable for switching air-flow direction most, the former is (by switching the direction of rotation of fan simply) and the latter (by implement special design feature (being generally lever) in fan drum).The decision design configuration of centrifugal fan is described hereinafter.In addition, the design alternative of refrigerant system 10 and various configuration are feasible and within the scope of the invention and can benefit from present disclosure equally.
