Fig. 1 shows other exemplary details of condenser 32 and cooler 36.Exemplary condenser 32 comprises upper condensator tube bank 120 and bottom aftercooler tube bank 122.Fig. 1 also shows the liquid refrigerant accumulation 124 in condenser.Tube bank 120 and 122 is connected to one or more heat transfer fluid source, to remove heat from cold-producing medium.Aftercooler tube bank 122 is comprised in chamber 126.One or more ingates 128 are along the bottom in chamber 126.Float-controlled valve 130 offers outlet 52.Pressure sensor 132 can be arranged in the headroom of the close entrance 50 of condenser.
In the exemplary embodiment, heat-transfer fluid (for example water) transmits along water loop 138 (Fig. 2), by entrance 140, receive, and from exporting 142 discharges.Corresponding temperature sensor 144 and 146 is measured the inlet temperature T of water 1CONDwith outlet temperature T 2COND.Exemplary flow rate meter 147 is measured the flow F of water along water loop 138 mCOND.

Fig. 4 shows the temperature T of the water that enters condenser 1CONDwith respect to the chart of capacity.Line 200 represents the loaded line (or load line) of U.S. refrigeration association (ARI).In the U.S., freezer unit will be obeyed ARI standard 550.Four reference conditions of this standard identification, these four reference conditions are by the percentage of freezer unit rated load (representing with cooling tonnage) and the entrance of the Water in Condenser being associated/enter temperature to characterize.It is 44F (6.67C) that the operation of carrying out will realize the outlet of chilled water/leave temperature.Four conditions are: 100%, 85F (29.44C); 75%, 75F (23.89C), 50%, 65F (18.33C); With 25%, 65F (being also 18.33C).These conditions (or along connecting their condition of similarity of curve) can be provided for measuring the correlated condition of efficiency.In API test, the flow of the water by cooler is 2.4 gallons of every cooling tons per minute (gpm/ton) (0.043 liter every kilowatt per second (l/s/kW), and the flow of the water of condenser is 3gpm/ton (0.054l/s/kW).
Utilize typical heat exchanger, the temperature rise of the water by condenser is that roughly 8F (4.4C) takes advantage of percentage load, or 8F during 100% load, 6F during 75% load (3.3C), 2F (1.1C) when 4F during 50% load (2.2C) and 25% load.Cooler saturation temperature for example, than the low 1F of the temperature of the chilled water leaving (0.6C) or 2F (1.1C) (, the 43F in ARI test).Similarly, condenser saturation temperature is than temperature and the high 1F of water temperature rising sum or the 2F of water that enters condenser.For the temperature of the water that enters condenser of 85F, temperature rise is 8F, and the temperature of therefore leaving the water of condenser is 93F, and condenser saturation temperature is 93+2=95F.
Line 202 represents the constant temperature of 85F (29.44C).In tropical climate area, environment temperature from daytime to night almost without change.In such kind of area, it is constant that the temperature of the water of condenser keeps.Industrial standard is to think that the temperature of the water that enters condenser is constant at 85F between 25% and 100% load.Table 1 shows the temperature difference about ARI situation and corresponding tropical situation.Celsius temperature converts from listed Fahrenheit temperature value, does not therefore increase and false precision is provided.Other International System of Units (SI) in bracket has represented similarly from the original U.S. or Britain's value and the transformation result of coming.

In the first exemplary enforcement, first mode in parallel is used to top load situation at least partly, and the second pattern (only positive displacement compressor) is used to low load situation.For example, the second pattern can be for the load from being substantially zero to intermediate cycling load value.Between intermediate cycling load value and maximum load, pattern in parallel is used at least partly.But be noted that intermediate cycling load value can stand suitable hysteresis and control the circulation of avoiding excessive when operating near conversion condition.For example, from zero to conversion condition, the second compressor can move with the speed and/or the power that increase.When conversion, the first compressor can or approach full capacity with full capacity and be directed to online, and the second compressor reset-to-zero or other low capacity value.After this, along with the load increasing, the speed of the second compressor and/or power can increase.Therefore,, in pattern in parallel at least partly, the load/volume change of system mainly adapts to by positive displacement compressor.For example, at least positive displacement compressor can be realized more variation than centrifugal compressor.More properly, positive displacement compressor can be realized at least 75% or at least 90% of load change.Exemplarily, load change at least can represent system peak load 30%, more properly, be at least 40%.
In the first simple illustrative embodiments, the rated capacity of two compressors substantially the same (for example, identical or suitably differently carry out sizing, to solve any hysteresis problem).Therefore, change point is at half load place substantially.
More largo, change point can be between 45% and 55% of total rating system load, or between 40% and 60%.
By (or more largo, not in low load) near the rated load that only has at it or its, use centrifugal compressor, surge problem can be avoided to a great extent.
For example, the exemplary peaking capacity of positive displacement compressor be centrifugal compressor peaking capacity 50~200%, more properly, 100% to 150%.
In a distortion, the 4th (series connection) pattern can be added and use when high condenser water temperature, for example water heating or heat recovery mode.
In another distortion, when the low-down temperature difference of needs, (for example, be less than 25F (13.9C)), centrifugal compressor can be used alone.
In the second more complicated illustrative embodiments, by measuring or determine in other mode the saturation temperature (T of 302 condensers cOND) and the saturation temperature (T of cooler cOOL) start control procedure 300 (Fig. 5).T cONDand T cOOLcan by following, determine respectively, that is:, by pressure sensor 132 and 182 gaging pressures, then calculate saturation temperature (by the function of look-up table or programming).The temperature difference (lift) is calculated as T cONDdeduct T cOOL, 304.For example, if the temperature difference is greater than given threshold value (, 50F (28C)), this system can be with the 4th (series connection) mode operation, 306 so.At this series model, the capacity of centrifugal compressor is controlled by the orientation of compressor speed and entrance guide card.If the gas flow of discharging from centrifugal compressor is higher than the capacity of screw compressor, the pressure between centrifugal compressor and screw compressor will raise, and cause the surge of centrifugal compressor.Now, the speed of centrifugal compressor little by little increases and its guide card is little by little closed, until no longer surge of centrifugal compressor.Similarly logic is applied to screw compressor (that is the First Speed of, being followed by guiding valve).Slow down and always caused the power consumption of minimizing or the efficiency of increase.
For the less temperature difference, can carry out non-series operation.To flow F mCOOLand temperature T 1COOLand T 2COOLmeasure 308.Capacity also can be calculated, and 310.
Then, for example, when low capacity (, being less than the first value of 50% of for example maximum), operation is modified based on pressure head.For low-head, these compressors can be with equal loads and with first mode operation, 320.This can comprise: when there is speed change driver, Negotiation speed carrys out control capacity; And for the situation of fixed speed, by the entrance guide card of centrifugal compressor and the guiding valve of screw compressor, carry out control capacity.Pressure head and temperature-difference are proportional.In example, low-head is corresponding to the temperature-difference that is less than 35F (19C), and high-head is between 35F and 50F (19C and 28C).
For high-head, system is with the second pattern (only screw compressor) operation, 322.When there is speed change driver, Negotiation speed carrys out control capacity; For the situation of fixed speed, by guiding valve, carry out control capacity.
For example, in the situation of middle capacity (, 50~75%), also can move with first mode.Balance between these compressors can be modified based on pressure head.For low-head, system is moved with paralleling model, and wherein screw compressor moves with fixed capacity, and centrifugal compressor moves with variable capacity, to the total capacity needing is provided.For example, in the case of the centrifugal compressor and screw compressor with equal heap(ed) capacity, screw compressor can move with 50% of its heap(ed) capacity, and centrifugal compressor operate in it heap(ed) capacity 50 and 100% between (combining thus, to 50~75% operation of maximum system capacity is exemplarily provided).Select such operation, to avoid the surge of centrifugal compressor.
In high-head situation, system can provide the first mode of volume controlled to move in fixed capacity and screw compressor substantially with centrifugal compressor wherein, and 332.The exemplary set point of constant volume compressor can be with respect to situation 330 and is different.Centrifugal compressor can move with higher capacity.In above-mentioned example, centrifugal compressor can move with 80% of its heap(ed) capacity, and 40% of total power system capacity is provided thus.Screw compressor may operate in it heap(ed) capacity 20% and 70% between (10~35% of maximum system capacity is provided thus, and close with centrifugal compressor units in case provide maximum system capacity 50~75%).Can select this ruuning situation, this is because centrifugal compressor easily stands surge in low load and high-head situation.
For example, high power capacity (75~100%) in the situation that, also can move with first mode the wherein load operation of these compressors to equate, 340.Therefore, depend on essential capacity, the heap(ed) capacity that each compressor can have at it 75% and 100% between operation so that the capacity of satisfying the demand.
One or more embodiment have been described.However, but be understandable that, can carry out various modifications.For example, in the situation that rebuilding existing system, the details of existing system or its predetermined use may affect the details of any specific implementations.Therefore, other embodiment within the scope of the appended claims.
