Description

Rectification type self-cascade refrigeration system with precooling function
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration, in particular to a rectification type self-cascade refrigeration system with precooling.
Background
With the continuous development of society, the practical application puts higher and higher requirements on refrigeration technology. In order to meet the requirement of lower refrigeration temperature, various refrigeration systems with various structures and various forms are continuously proposed and used in the fields of deep low temperature refrigeration, gas liquefaction and the like.
In the field of deep low temperature refrigeration, the mixed working medium is widely applied to self-cascade refrigeration. Patent CN102494467A discloses a refrigerating storage box with two-stage fractional condensation and separation regenerative throttling refrigeration of mixed working medium, wherein two gas-liquid separators are used in the adopted refrigerating system to realize the separation of high and low boiling point components of the mixed working medium. However, as the refrigeration temperature decreases, such a refrigeration system requires more gas-liquid separators to separate high and low boiling point components, which complicates the system structure and leads to deterioration in system environmental suitability and operational stability.
The patent CN 1152218C discloses a deep refrigeration device, which is mainly characterized in that the high-efficiency separation of the high and low boiling point components of the mixed working medium is realized by the rectification process of the rectification device, i.e. the rectification device is used to replace a multi-stage gas-liquid separator, thereby simplifying the system and improving the operation stability of the system.
Patent CN 101776358A discloses a variable-concentration mixed working medium auto-cascade refrigerator, and the rectifying device in the refrigeration system adopted by the refrigerator is the improvement and simplification of the above patent, namely, the cold quantity required by the rectifying process in the rectifying device is provided by the heat exchanger at the top of the tower.
Both of the above patents have problems in that when the ambient temperature rises, the condensing conditions deteriorate, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the working fluid entering the rectifying unit, and in turn, an increase in the temperature of the top of the tower. If the temperature at the top of the tower is too high, the rectification effect is poor, components with high and low boiling points of the mixed working medium cannot be effectively separated, and lubricating oil carried by the mixed working medium cannot be effectively separated, and if the lubricating oil enters a low-temperature part of a refrigeration system, the lubricating oil is easy to solidify, so that blockage is caused. Meanwhile, when the ambient temperature is higher, the temperature of the mixed working medium entering the rectifying device rises, the backflow working medium cannot provide enough cold for the tower top heat exchanger of the rectifying device, the superheat degree of the working medium of an air suction port of the compressor is increased, the exhaust temperature of the compressor is increased, and the operation condition of the compressor is deteriorated.
In order to increase the refrigerating capacity of the system, the common method in the prior art is to use deep well water for supercooling or adopt a partial cascade refrigeration system, and aims to increase the supercooling degree of a working medium, obtain lower outlet temperature of a subcooler and improve the refrigeration performance coefficient of the system.
Patent CN 110057124A proposes a partially overlapping type commercial CO2The invention relates to a transcritical two-stage compression refrigeration system, which supercools CO by adding a single-stage compression cycle2The transcritical double-stage compression refrigeration system increases the refrigeration capacity and improves the system performance, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of energy.
The partial cascade refrigeration system of patent CN 110057124 a and the conventional subcooling or other partial cascade refrigeration systems all consider that the objects are working mediums at the outlet of the condenser, and the purpose is to increase the degree of subcooling to improve the system cooling capacity and the refrigeration coefficient. However, for the rectification type self-cascade refrigeration system, if the method is adopted, the dryness of the mixed working medium entering the rectification device is reduced, so that the main flow rate is reduced, the refrigerating capacity is further insufficient, and the system performance is reduced.
Therefore, under the condition of ensuring the operation stability of the system, the problem that the rectification type self-cascade refrigeration system is greatly influenced by the external environment is solved, and the refrigeration performance of the system is not adversely influenced, so that the problem to be solved is urgently needed.
