The specific embodiment
Although specifically illustrate and described the disclosure with reference to the preference pattern shown in accompanying drawing, those skilled in the art will be appreciated that, in the situation that do not depart from the disclosure spirit and scope that are defined by the claims, can in the disclosure, realize the various variations in details.
According to Fig. 1, hot activation refrigerant system comprises and shows as the vapor compression circuit 21 of solid line and show the 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.Refrigerant vapour stream and the vaporous cryogen stream in the exit from expander in the exit from compressor are connected at condenser inlet place, to provide mix flow to pass through condenser 24.As shown in the figure, condensator outlet place or liquid to the refrigerant liquid flow point that aspirates the exit of heat exchanger 26 be cleaved into two streams: one is supplied to pump, and another cycles through the parts of vapor compression circuit.
Hot activation refrigerant system has three stress levels: heated pressure, heat extraction stress level and evaporating pressure.Heated pressure is pump blowdown presssure, and heat extraction pressure is compressor or expander discharge, and evaporating pressure is compressor suction pressure.Heating and heat extraction pressure are high pressure and the low-pressure in steam expanded loop.Heat extraction and evaporating pressure are high pressure and the low-pressures of vapor compression circuit.
A kind of public working fluid is used to steam compressed and steam expanded loop.This working fluid has following characteristics: its high-pressure section for steam expanded loop provides supercritical operation, and provides subcritical operation for the low-pressure section in steam expanded loop.Therefore, the working fluid in the steam expanded loop under high pressure remains gaseous state, but the working fluid in condenser appears in the region 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, etc.
Heater 32 heat medium is provided and the cold-producing medium stream that is pumped between thermo-contact.Conventionally, thermal source is used heat, such as can be from fuel cell, solar energy equipment, miniature turbine, reciprocating engine etc.Pressure in heater is postcritical, that is to say, higher than the critical pressure of cold-producing medium.This provides and the temperature glide of the heat medium shown in Fig. 2 compatible favourable temperature glide mutually.Heater 32 should be designed to provide the equal heat capacity ratio of two streams, and makes to occur the highest temperature difference on each stream.Slippage and equal heat capacity ratio provide used heat utilization and the high expander temperature that enters of higher degree, thereby cause the improvement of expander performance.If thermal source is not used heat, do not need heat capacity ratio to equate, temperature glide provides the higher refrigerant temperature of expander porch, and this has improved the Performance Characteristics of expander.
Condenser 24 provides cooling medium and from the thermo-contact between compressor 23 and expander 33 combination cold-producing medium stream out.The temperature of the cooling medium in condenser 24 is always maintained in lower than cold-producing medium critical point, so that can realize condensation of refrigerant at heat extraction pressure place, liquid refrigerant is supplied to pump 29.
