Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a medium- and low-temperature integrated refrigerating/freezing system, and in particular to an integrated system for providing medium-temperature refrigerating and low-temperature freezing for foods and cold drinks, etc. in supermarkets and convenience stores.
  • freezing systems are classified as low-temperature freezing systems and medium-temperature refrigeration systems.
  • Low-temperature freezing systems usually provide an evaporator temperature of about 30-35 degrees centigrade below zero, mainly for products such as ice cream or other frozen food.

  • low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is changed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas after having been compressed by the compressor 1.
  • the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant After entering into the condenser 2, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases its heat to the ambient, transforms into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid and flows into the expansion valve 4 via the reservoir 3.
  • the expansion valve 4 reduces the pressure of the refrigerant and adjusts the flow rate of the refrigerant, so as to enable the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant to change into low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase liquid and gas and to flow into the evaporator 5.
