Abstract

The device uses a zeotropic refrigeration medium and includes a suction gas/liquid gas internal heat exchanger (5) for increasing the vapour pressure. A sensor (6) for the expansion valve (4) between the heat extraction and heat delivery heat exchangers is positioned on the low pressure side of the internal heat exchanger. In the case of a number of internal heat exchangers, the sensor for the expansion valve is positioned between the last internal heat exchanger and the compressor.

Description

Technisches Gebiet : Wärmepumpen und/oder Kältemaschinen mit Dampfprozess Technical field: heat pumps and / or chillers with steam process

Wärmepumpen und Kältemaschinen bestehen in ihrer einfachsten Ausführung aus einem wärmeaufnehmenden (1) und einem wärmeabgebenden (2) Wärmetauscher, einem energieaufnehmenden Verdichteraggregat (3) und einer Drossel- oder Expandiereinrichtung (4). Sie können als Kaltgas- oder Kaltdampfmaschinen ausgeführt werden. Dies ist in Fig. 1 dargestellt.The simplest version of heat pumps and chillers consists of a heat-absorbing (1) and a heat-emitting (2) heat exchanger, an energy-absorbing compressor unit (3) and a throttling or expanding device (4). They can be designed as cold gas or cold steam engines. This is shown in Fig. 1.

Der Patentanspruch betrifft Wärmepumpen und/oder Kältemaschinen mit Dampfprozess, das heisst es zirkuliert im System ein Stoff der sowohl gasförmig als auch flüssig auftritt. Insbesondere betrifft der Patenanspruch wärmepumpen und/oder Kältemaschinen, welche mit einem Kältemittel mit zeotropem Verhalten betrieben werden. Sie sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Kondensation bzw. Verdampfung nicht bei einem bestimmten Temperaturpunkt, sondern bei gleitender Temperatur (Glide), das heisst in einem Temperaturbereich stattfinden.The claim relates to heat pumps and / or refrigeration machines with a steam process, which means that a material circulates in the system that occurs both in gaseous and liquid form. In particular, the patent claim relates to heat pumps and / or refrigeration machines which are operated with a refrigerant with a zeotropic behavior. They are characterized in that condensation or evaporation do not take place at a certain temperature point, but at a sliding temperature (glide), that is to say in a temperature range.

Wärmepumpen und/oder Kältemaschinen gemäss dem Patentanspruch werden zusätzlich mit einem Sauggas-Flüssiggas-Wärmetauscher (5), interner Wärmetauscher genannt, ausgerüstet und der Fühler (6) des Expansionsventils an der Saugleitung derart angeordnet, dass er nach, statt vor diesem internen Wärmetauscher montiert ist. Diese Vorrichtung ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Falls mehrere interne Wärmetauscher vorhanden sind, ist der Fühler (6) zwischen dem letzten internen Wärmetauscher und dem Kompressor plaziert.Heat pumps and / or chillers according to the patent claim are additionally equipped with a suction gas-liquid gas heat exchanger (5), called an internal heat exchanger, and the sensor (6) of the expansion valve is arranged on the suction line in such a way that it is installed behind the internal heat exchanger instead of in front of it is. This device is shown in FIG. 2. If there are several internal heat exchangers, the sensor (6) is placed between the last internal heat exchanger and the compressor.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt das Druck-Enthalpie-Diagramm (log p / h - Diagramm) mit dem Prozess ohne (gestrichelte Linie) und mit (ausgezogene Linie) der Vorrichtung gemäss Patentanspruch. Im Text werden die Diagrammstrecken folgendermassen bezeichnet: 1. Buchstabe = Streckenanfang, → = bis, 2. Buchstabe = Streckenende.3 shows the pressure-enthalpy diagram (log p / h diagram) with the process without (dashed line) and with (solid line) of the device according to the patent claim. In the text, the diagram sections are designated as follows: 1st letter = section start, → = to, 2nd letter = section end.

Durch diese Vorrichtung wird:

  • 1. die Flüssigkeit vor dem Drossel-/Expandierorgan stärker unterkühlt (A→B) und der Flüssigkeitsanteil am Eintritt (7, C) in den Verdampfer vergrössert. Der im Verdampfer nutzbare Anteil des Glides wird dadurch vergrössert (C→E).
  • 2. das Kältemittel nicht im Verdampfer (1) sondern erst im zusätzlichen internen Wärmetauscher (5) fertig verdampft (D→E) und überhitzt (E→F), und die gesamte Verdampferfläche steht bei höherem Flüssigkeitsanteil für die Verdampfung zur Verfügung.
  • 3. im Druck-Enthalpie-Diagramm der Verdampfungsprozess durch diese Massnahmen bei gleichbleibenden Temperaturen nach links, zu höheren Drücken (C'→C) verschoben. Dadurch wird der Verdampfungsdruck erhöht und somit die Druckdifferenz zwischen Kondensation und Verdampfung verringert (A→C' wird zu B→C), wodurch die Leistungsaufnahme des Kompressors geringer und somit die Leistungszahl erhöht wird.
With this device:
  • 1. The liquid in front of the throttling / expanding element is more strongly undercooled (A → B) and the proportion of liquid at the inlet (7, C) in the evaporator is increased. This increases the amount of glide that can be used in the evaporator (C → E).
  • 2. The refrigerant is not evaporated in the evaporator (1) but only in the additional internal heat exchanger (5) (D → E) and overheated (E → F), and the entire evaporator surface is available for evaporation with a higher liquid content.
  • 3. In the pressure-enthalpy diagram, the evaporation process is shifted to the left, to higher pressures (C '→ C) by these measures at constant temperatures. This increases the evaporation pressure and thus the pressure difference between condensation and evaporation is reduced (A → C 'becomes B → C), as a result of which the power consumption of the compressor is lower and thus the coefficient of performance is increased.
