Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of the production of cold, including mechanical type and cryogenic type, and is particularly interested in applications in the field of food processing, such as freezing and freezing.
- Mechanical refrigerants have long used ammonia (NH 3 ) or HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) or HFCs (hydro-fluoro-carbons) as the refrigerant.
- CO 2 can also be used as a two-phase refrigerant fluid in combination with a compression cycle using a refrigerant, for example ammonia.
- the new cascade system generations consist of two distinct compression assemblies: o the high-pressure circuit using as refrigerant ammonia or any other refrigerant suitable for cooling by the ambient environment or a cold source (temperature between 10 and 30 ° C) and the low pressure circuit using carbon dioxide to supply the evaporator producing the useful cold.
- mechanical cold generally means a cold production system using a condensable steam compression cycle, and a “cryogenic cold” system.
- EEMPLICITY KEY (RULE 26) a system producing cold from the phase change of a cryogenic fluid in an open circuit.
- cryogenic uses the frigories released by the phase change of a cryogenic fluid, for example the sublimation of the carbon dioxide or the vaporization of liquid nitrogen.
- This technology works with open circuit ie lost fluids. The amount of investment is thus minimized.
- the cold called “mechanical” uses the frigories released by the expansion of a refrigerant, for example carbon dioxide. This technology works in a closed circuit with a constant fluid load. The amount of investment is higher because it is necessary to provide the compression groups. It is conceivable that moving from a mechanical cold production system to a cryogenic system and vice versa, or mixing the two systems would provide the user with greater flexibility.
- any mechanical assembly requires periods of downtime to ensure their maintenance. It is generally accepted to stop the refrigeration production unit (ie the compressors) and the refrigeration system (the freezer) approximately 4 weeks per year to maintain the compressors and the various freezer components. During this maintenance period, the installation no longer produces.
- the possibility of working momentarily thanks to a cryogenic fluid would have the advantage of:
- cryogenic cold increases the cold production capacity of the mechanical system
- the final "wanted” cooling effect may be due to mechanical cold and cryogenic cold or only due to one of the two systems.
- the system that does not contribute directly to the “wanted” refrigeration effect is used to allow the other system to operate under extended conditions (power, temperature).
- the present invention seeks to provide a device in which, on the contrary, the "consumable" cryogenic fluid is CO 2 and is mixed with the fluid of the mechanical system which supplies the evaporator of the installation using cold to cool a thermal load.
- the latter fluid is also CO 2 whether it is the refrigerant "recycled” or the refrigerant fluid. This additional injection of CO 2 operates before producing cold in the evaporator.
- the proposed solution consists in mixing the fluids coming from an open circuit using CO2 as a cryogenic fluid and a closed circuit using CO2 as a refrigerant or as a refrigerant.
- the present invention relates to a method of refrigeration of one or more heat loads according to which there is a first source of CO 2 from a mechanical cooling system, and where one or more evaporators are fed to from this first source in order to carry out the evaporation of the CO 2 and thus cool said one or more heat loads, and characterized in that there is a second source of CO 2 , constituted by a cryogenic storage of CO2, and in that a supply of CO 2 is made from said second source, so that the flow of fluid supplying the evaporator or evaporators is a liquid CO 2 mixture from said first source and liquid CO 2 from said second source.
- a method of refrigerating one or more heat loads in which there is a first source of CO 2 from a mechanical cooling system, and where one or more evaporators are supplied from this first source to evaporation of the CO 2 therefrom and thereby cooling said one or more heat loads characterized in that a second source of CO 2 , constituted by a cryogenic storage of CO 2 , is available, and in that the a supply of CO 2 is made from said second source, so that the flow of fluid supplying the evaporator or evaporators is a mixture of liquid CO 2 from said first source and liquid CO 2 from said second source; source.
- the mechanical cooling system proceeds with the steps of:
- an amount of CO 2 substantially equivalent to that corresponding to said CO 2 supply is fed to the outside according to one or each combination in the following ways: i) the fluid or a part of the fluid obtained at the outlet of the evaporator (s) is directed towards said storage tank and from this tank is made the extraction and evacuation of said CO 2 flow to be discharged to the outside; j) the part of the fluid obtained at the outlet of the evaporator (s) is separated and discharged to the outside, the remainder being directed towards either said storage tank or towards said compression step; said supply of CO 2 from said second source is carried out in said storage tank where it is mixed with CO 2 originating from said evaporator or said expansion step.
- an amount of CO 2 substantially equivalent to that corresponding to said CO 2 supply is exhausted to the outside, one or each combined in the following ways: i) the fluid or a portion of the fluid obtained at the outlet of the evaporator (s) is directed towards a storage tank and is made from this reservoir the extraction and evacuation of said CO 2 flow to be discharged to the outside; j) the part of the fluid obtained at the outlet of the evaporator (s) is separated and evacuated to the outside, the remainder being directed towards either said storage tank or to a condensation stage by a a cold source produced by a vapor compression system and the liquid thus condensed is then stored in the storage tank; and one proceeds to said supply of CO 2 from said second source into the storage tank where it is mixed with CO 2 from the evaporator (s) or said condensation step.
- the amount of CO 2 present in the circuit is between two predetermined operating limits.
- the important point is to ensure that the amount of CO 2 present in the circuit does not increase to infinity without control (because of the contribution of CO2 of cryogenic origin) , which would be unimaginable, on the contrary the amount of CO 2 present in the circuit remains substantially constant or at least remains between two acceptable and predetermined operating limits. It is therefore necessary to evacuate towards the outside of the circuit a quantity of CO2 substantially equivalent to that which has been admitted into the circuit and which was of cryogenic origin.
- the whole of the fluid obtained at the outlet of the evaporator (s) (from the installation using cold to cool a heat load) can be sent to a non-cryogenic storage tank (tank from which the evaporators are fed), and realizes the reservoir extraction and evacuation of the flow to be discharged to the outside;
- the useful cold is produced by the evaporation of a CO 2 flow rate, resulting from the mixing of a flow rate from a cryogenic storage of CO 2 and a CO 2 flow rate obtained by a mechanical system. .
- the "global" CO 2 flow produces useful refrigeration in an evaporator located at the facility using cold to cool a load.
- the total flow of CO 2 is separated into two flow rates, one substantially equal to the flow rate that came from the cryogenic storage, the other equal to the flow rate that came from the mechanical cold.
- the regulation of the mixed cryogenic CO 2 flow rate and of the separated CO2 flow rate is carried out respectively by the opening of a supply valve from the storage and by the opening of the CO extraction valve. 2 .
- These valves are controlled for example:
- the flow rate which corresponds substantially to that which came from the cryogenic storage is evacuated directly into the atmosphere or indirectly through an oil separation phase if necessary.
- the coupling of the two circuits can be achieved in different ways, and in particular: 1. In the case where the CO? of the mechanical system is the fluid friqoriqangeange:
- the mixture of the two CO 2 flows can be achieved:
- the mixture of the two CO 2 flows can be achieved:
- the coupling of the two circuits must be regulated so that the amount of CO 2 present in the closed circuit remains substantially constant or at least between two acceptable operating limits.
- the mixed cryogenic CO 2 flow rate regulation and the separated CO 2 flow rate are achieved, for example, by the opening of a supply valve from the storage and by the opening of the CO 2 extraction valve.
