Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a refrigeration system, in which a refrigerant is conveyed through an refrigerant circuit by means of an oil-lubricated compressor, oil coming from the compressor into the refrigerant circuit, and in which an additive which is insoluble in it but is soluble in the oil is added to the refrigerant .
- Synthetic oils such as polyol esters and polyalkylene glycols have therefore been developed that dissolve to a limited extent in the chlorine-free refrigerants.
- these new oils have considerable disadvantages. They work e.g. aggressive to certain materials within the refrigerant circuit, for example electrical insulation and sealing materials, and have strong hygroscopic properties. In addition, they tend to copper plating and have insufficient thermal stability.
- the addition of oil-dissolving additives is intended to prevent the lubricating oil from stagnating or the removal of paraffin in parts of the refrigeration system.
- solvents are introduced into the refrigeration cycle at various points in the refrigeration system.
- the diluted oil then settles at various oil collection points and can be removed from the extraction points.
- the solvent is added abundantly so that a certain part gets into the evaporator to dissolve the sticked paraffin hanging on the walls.
- the aim is to dilute the lubricating oil by adding a solvent and to guide the diluted lubricating oil in the refrigerant circuit via the compressor or to discharge it from the circuit.
- lubricating oil and solvent are passed through the evaporator, which affects the economic efficiency and operational safety of the refrigeration system.
- the present invention has for its object to design a method of the type mentioned so that even when using oil-insoluble refrigerant, a large return of the oil to the compressor is achieved in an economical manner, without adversely affecting the economy and reliability of the refrigeration system.
- the invention is particularly intended for use with chlorine-free refrigerants or other refrigerants that are not soluble with conventional oils.
- these refrigerants are soluble in the auxiliary, extensive de-oiling of the refrigerant is possible.
- a short chain hydrocarbon e.g. Butane, propane or pentane.
- Conventional refrigeration oils of mineral origin and synthetic oils based on hydrocarbons are soluble in these hydrocarbons in all proportions.
- the addition of small amounts of auxiliary substance is sufficient to achieve a constant washing out of the oil within the refrigerant circuit.
- the oil can be easily recovered with an oil ejector, as described in DE-PS 22 52 583, and can be returned to any point in the refrigerant circuit, in particular to the engine of the compressor.
- the two phases namely the essentially oil-free refrigerant on the one hand and the oil-auxiliary solution on the other hand, are separated by means of a floating process (similar to gasoline separator DIN 1999).
- a collection bottle is used, which in the Refrigerant circuit is switched on.
- the oil-auxiliary solution usually has a lower specific weight than the refrigerant, so that an oil-auxiliary phase floating on top and a pure refrigerant phase underneath arise in the collecting bottle.
- the oil auxiliary phase is drawn off at the top and supplied to an oil ejector as described in DE-PS 22 52 583. In the oil ejector, the oil is expelled from the oil-auxiliary solution and then returned to the compressor.
- the phases are separated on the high pressure side of the refrigeration system. In this way, a migration of oil to the evaporator side of the refrigeration system is largely avoided, so that the evaporator can be operated with practically pure refrigerant.
- the method according to the application is not simply a dilution of the lubricating oil, but rather a washing-out process in which the oil on the high-pressure side of the refrigeration system is constantly washed out of the refrigerant and returned to the compressor.
- the auxiliary agent acting as a detergent remains on the high-pressure side of the refrigeration system.
- the two phases of refrigerant and oil auxiliary solution are separated from each other in the collecting bottle by floating, i.e. the specifically lighter phase floats on top of the specifically heavier phase.
- the oil auxiliary solution is expediently fed to the oil expeller via a connecting line and a check valve.
- the oil ejector it is used as a detergent serving auxiliary evaporates and is returned as gas via the connecting line to the collecting bottle.
- the auxiliary substance constantly moves back and forth on the high-pressure side between the condenser and the oil expeller, washing the oil out of the refrigerant. The washed-out oil is separated from the auxiliary in the oil expeller and returned to the compressor.
- the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown schematically in the drawing:
- the figure shows a flow diagram of a refrigeration system with an oil washing device.
- the diagram shows a conventional refrigerant circuit, consisting of a refrigerant compressor 1 with a downstream oil separator 2, a condenser 4 with a collecting bottle 5, an expansion device 6 for the refrigerant and a refrigerant evaporator 7.
- a conventional refrigerant circuit an oil expeller is attached to the collecting bottle 5 3 connected, as described in DE-PS 22 52 583.
- the butane-oil mixture has a lower specific weight than the refrigerant and therefore floats on top of the collecting bottle 5 (12). From there, the butane-oil mixture is removed by means of a sampling tube 10 and fed to the oil ejector 3 by means of the connecting line 9 via the sight glass 8 and a check valve 30. In the oil ejector 3, which is heated with hot refrigerant compressed gas, the auxiliary substance serving as a detergent is evaporated.
- the check valve 30 has a check valve with at least one bore opening against a bias in the gas flow direction. When the non-return valve is opened, the auxiliary substance evaporated in the oil expeller flows back unhindered at a constant speed through the connecting line 9 to the collecting bottle 5.
- the hole in the check valve remains liquid butane-oil mixture, adapted to the heating output, metered again to the oil ejector 3.
- the auxiliary substance therefore constantly moves back and forth on the high-pressure side between the condenser 4 and the oil ejector 3, washing the oil out of the refrigerant in the process.
- the washed-out oil is separated from the auxiliary material in the oil ejector 3 and returned directly to the engine of the compressor 1 via line 11.
- the pure refrigerant phase 13 located at the bottom of the collecting bottle 5 is drawn off via line 14 and returned to the compressor 1 via the expansion device 6 and the evaporator 7.
