Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to an ultra-low temperature high-efficiency refrigerating device and a refrigerating method thereof, belonging to the technical field of refrigeration.
Background
Cascade refrigeration is a special form of vapour compression refrigeration, usually consisting of two to three separate vapour compression refrigeration cycles with different working temperature zones. Taking a two-stage cascade refrigeration cycle as an example, the two-stage cascade refrigeration cycle consists of a high-temperature stage refrigeration unit and a low-temperature stage refrigeration unit, wherein a medium-temperature refrigerant is used in the high-temperature stage refrigeration unit, and a low-temperature refrigerant is used in the low-temperature stage refrigeration unit, so that a cycle of cascade operation of two single-stage compression refrigeration units is formed. The two refrigerating units are connected by a shared condensing evaporator, so that medium-temperature refrigerants in the high-temperature refrigerating unit are evaporated and refrigerated in the condensing evaporator, and the low-temperature refrigerants are condensed into a liquid phase by heat dissipation in the condensing evaporator. The medium temperature refrigerant vapor from the condensing evaporator takes away the condensing heat of the low temperature refrigerant and transfers the heat to the environment medium through the condenser in the high temperature stage refrigeration cycle. The liquid-phase low-temperature refrigerant from the condensing evaporator is depressurized by the low-temperature stage throttle valve, enters the evaporator to absorb the heat of the cooled medium to be evaporated and refrigerated, so that the cooled medium obtains the required low temperature.
Along with the increasing year-by-year requirements on the specifications of pharmaceutical and chemical products, the requirement for the improvement of the production process is increased, and particularly the requirements on the stability and the energy efficiency of an ultralow-temperature refrigerating unit are particularly outstanding. For example, the high-end pharmaceutical and chemical industry has a very high requirement on the whole refrigeration process, and not only does the unit have to be cooled quickly, but also has to achieve high efficiency and be capable of running stably for a long time, so that the uninterrupted industrial production requirement can be met.
Most of the existing ultra-low temperature overlapping units adopt a conventional direct-expansion liquid supply mode to meet the heat exchange requirements of a condensation evaporation side and an evaporation side (evaporator), although the unit structure is simple under the form, the heat exchange efficiency is extremely low, and the high-temperature refrigeration unit and the low-temperature refrigeration unit are started simultaneously or at intervals in a short time to lead to the hard start of the low-temperature compressor (not started in an allowable operation interval), so that the severe abrasion and the service life reduction of the compressor are easily caused, and further, the phenomena of equipment failure frequency and running stability shortage are caused. Therefore, it is very important to develop a new ultra-low temperature refrigerator set.

The refrigeration method based on the ultralow-temperature high-efficiency refrigeration device comprises a cold carrying mode and a cascade refrigeration mode which are sequentially operated, wherein the cold carrying mode comprises the following steps as shown in figure 2:
(1.1) opening a cold-carrying air return electromagnetic valve 311 to conduct a cold-carrying air return pipeline 310, and adjusting a cold-carrying/cascade switching valve 321 to conduct a cold-carrying liquid dropping pipeline 320 to close the connection between the condensing evaporator/cold carrier 300 and the low-temperature stage flash evaporation barrel 240; meanwhile, the high-temperature-stage compressor 110 is started, the high-temperature-side refrigerant is compressed by the high-temperature-stage compressor 110, condensed by the condenser 120, throttled and expanded by the high-temperature-stage flash drum throttle valve 130, enters the high-temperature-stage flash drum 140 for supercooling, throttled and expanded by the high-temperature-stage gas-liquid separator throttle valve 150, enters the high-temperature-stage gas-liquid separator 160, the separated liquid-phase high-temperature-side refrigerant enters the condenser evaporator/cold carrier 300, the liquid-phase high-temperature-side refrigerant in the condenser evaporator/cold carrier 300 absorbs heat and evaporates to become a gas phase, and then enters the high-temperature-stage gas-liquid separator 160 again, and the gas-phase high-temperature-side refrigerant is sucked into the high-temperature-stage compressor 110 for circulation;
the gas-phase low-temperature side refrigerant in the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270 can enter the condensation evaporator/cold carrier 300 through the cold-carrying gas return pipe 310 due to low specific gravity, releases heat, changes into a liquid phase, and reenters the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270 through the cold-carrying liquid falling pipe 320 by gravity; in the cooling mode, the cooled medium enters the evaporator 280 to gradually cool the cooled medium, specifically, the liquid-phase low-temperature-side refrigerant in the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270 is fed into the evaporator 280 by gravity, the liquid-phase low-temperature-side refrigerant in the evaporator 280 absorbs heat of the cooled medium to form a gas-liquid mixed phase, and the gas-liquid mixed phase low-temperature-side refrigerant returns to the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270 from the evaporator 280.
(1.2) after the temperature of the cooled medium outlet in the evaporator is reduced to the condensation temperature of a low-temperature side refrigerant of the low-temperature refrigerating unit, closing the cold-carrying air return electromagnetic valve 311 to stop the cold-carrying air return pipeline 310, adjusting the cold-carrying/cascade switching valve 321 to stop the cold-carrying liquid dropping pipeline 320, and conducting the connection between the condensing evaporator/cold carrier 300 and the low-temperature stage flash evaporation barrel 240, thus ending the cold-carrying mode and starting to operate the cascade refrigeration mode.
For example, when the low temperature refrigerator group 200 uses the R-23 refrigerant (freon 23) as the refrigerant, the cascade refrigeration mode is switched after the condensing temperature of R-23 is reached to-23 ℃.
As shown in fig. 3, the cascade refrigeration mode includes the steps of:
the low-temperature side refrigerant is compressed by the low-temperature stage compressor 210, then is discharged with partial sensible heat by the precooler 220, then enters the high-temperature stage flash drum 140 to exchange heat with the high-temperature side refrigerant and is cooled, then enters the condenser evaporator/cold carrier 300, the low-temperature side refrigerant in the condenser evaporator/cold carrier 300 is changed into a liquid phase after being absorbed by the high-temperature side refrigerant, the low-temperature side refrigerant in the liquid phase enters the low-temperature stage flash drum 240 after being throttled and expanded by the low-temperature stage flash drum throttle valve 230 to be subcooled again, then flows through the heat regenerator 250 to exchange heat, then is throttled and expanded by the evaporator throttle valve 260 to enter the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270, the low-temperature side refrigerant in the liquid phase in the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270 enters the evaporator 280 through gravity liquid supply, the low-temperature side refrigerant in the liquid phase in the evaporator 280 absorbs heat of a cooled medium to form a gas-liquid mixed phase, and the low-temperature side of the gas-liquid mixed phase returns to the evaporator gas-liquid separator through the evaporator 280. The low-temperature side refrigerant of the gas phase in the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270 is sucked into the low-temperature stage compressor 210 through the heat regenerator 250 to circulate, and the evaporator 280 can achieve flooded evaporation.
The effect of the heat regenerator is that the liquid phase low temperature side refrigerant that supplies liquid to the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270 is further supercooled, and the gaseous phase low temperature side refrigerant return gas that discharges from the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270 is further overheated, promotes refrigerating plant's whole efficiency, and the effect is more obvious under the low temperature operating mode.
The low-temperature side refrigerant can further supercool the gas-phase low-temperature side refrigerant exhaust through the high-temperature stage flash evaporation barrel, so that the load of a condensation evaporator/cold carrier is reduced, and the power consumption of the high-temperature stage compressor is further reduced.
When the unit is shut down, the low-temperature stage compressor 210 is first shut down, and the high-temperature stage compressor 110 is shut down.

Furthermore, the high-temperature stage gas-liquid separator 160 and the evaporator gas-liquid separator 270 both adopt horizontal U-shaped tubular gas-liquid separators, and the size of the separators can be reduced while the separation length is increased. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the structure of the horizontal U-shaped tubular gas-liquid separator includes a U-shaped shell 400, and a shell working medium inlet 410 is disposed at a first end of the shell; a shell gas phase working medium inlet 420 is close to the first end of the shell, a bent pipe is inserted into the shell gas phase working medium inlet 420, and an upper port of the bent pipe extends into the shell; the shell gas-phase working medium outlet 430 is arranged at the top of the shell and is close to the second end of the shell; a shell liquid phase working fluid outlet 440 is provided at the bottom of the shell and near the second end of the shell.

Further, the cold carrying/cascade switching valve 321 adopts an electric three-way valve, which facilitates control of switching between cold carrying and cascade refrigeration modes.
Furthermore, a second low-temperature working medium outlet of the high-temperature flash barrel is connected with a working medium inlet of the high-temperature compressor, and a second working medium outlet of the low-temperature flash barrel is connected with a working medium inlet of the low-temperature compressor, so that gas phase enters a medium-pressure gas inlet of the compressor.
It should be noted that in the present application, the high temperature and the low temperature in the high temperature working medium and the low temperature working medium are relative to the relative temperature of two mediums for heat exchange in the heat exchanger.
