The specific embodiment
Though specifically illustrate and described the disclosure with reference to the preference pattern shown in the accompanying drawing; Those skilled in the art will be appreciated that; Under the situation that does not depart from the disclosure spirit that is defined by the claims and scope, can in the disclosure, realize the various variations on the details.
According to Fig. 1, the hot activation refrigerant system comprise show as the vapor compression circuit of solid line 21 with show steam expanded loop 22 as dotted line.Vapor compression circuit 21 comprises that compressor 23, condenser 24, liquid are to aspirating heat exchanger 26, expansion gear 27 and evaporimeter 28.Steam expanded loop 22 is by pump 29, heat exchange of top part device 31, heater 32, expander 33 and condenser 24.Being connected at the condenser inlet place,, mix flow passes through condenser 24 so that being provided from the refrigerant vapour stream in the exit of compressor and at vaporous cryogen stream from the exit of expander.As shown in the figure, the perhaps refrigerant liquid flow point in liquid to the exit of aspirating heat exchanger 26 at condensator outlet place is cleaved into two streams: one supplies to pump, and another cycles through the parts of vapor compression circuit.
The hot activation refrigerant system has three stress levels: heated pressure, heat extraction stress level and evaporating pressure.Heated pressure is the pump blowdown presssure, and heat extraction pressure is compressor or expander discharging, and evaporating pressure is a compressor suction pressure.Heating and heat extraction pressure are the high pressure and the low-pressure in steam expanded loop.Heat extraction and evaporating pressure are the high pressure and the low-pressures of vapor compression circuit.
A kind of public working fluid is used to steam compressed and the steam expanded loop.This working fluid has following characteristic: it provides supercritical operation for the high-pressure section in steam expanded loop, and subcritical operation is provided for the low-pressure section in steam expanded loop.Therefore, the working fluid in the steam expanded loop under the high pressure remains gaseous state, but the working fluid in the condenser appears in the zone in vapor dome left side and is liquefied.The example of this working fluid is CO 2Or based on CO 2Mixture, CO for example 2And propane, or the like.
Heater 32 heat medium is provided and the cold-producing medium that is pumped stream between thermo-contact.Usually, thermal source is a used heat, for example can be from fuel cell, solar energy equipment, miniature turbine, reciprocating engine etc.Pressure in the heater is postcritical, that is to say, is higher than the critical pressure of cold-producing medium.This provides the favourable temperature glide compatible mutually with the temperature glide of heat medium shown in Figure 2.Heater 32 should be designed to provide the heat capacity ratio that equates of two streams, and makes and on each stream, the highest temperature difference occurs.Slippage provides the used heat utilization of higher degree and high entering expander temperature with the heat capacity ratio that equates, thereby causes the improvement of expander performance.If thermal source is not a used heat, then do not need heat capacity ratio to equate that temperature glide provides the higher refrigerant temperature of expander porch, this has improved the Performance Characteristics of expander.
Condenser 24 cooling medium is provided and the combination cold-producing medium stream that comes out from compressor 23 and expander 33 between thermo-contact.The temperature of the cooling medium in the condenser 24 always is maintained in and is lower than the cold-producing medium critical point, so that can realize condensation of refrigerant at heat extraction pressure place, liquid refrigerant supplies to pump 29.
