- the invention thus relates to a refrigeration system for refrigerated transport.
- container interior, containers or refrigerated containers are used in the following text. Accordingly, the term container cooling is used as an example of these mobile refrigerated areas to be cooled.
- Refrigerated containers must also be constructed in such a way that they can be transported by specific transport systems by road, sea or rail (truck-trailer reefers, marine reefers or trail reefers).
- Such refrigerated containers must be able to carry out cooling or freezing processes of the cargo and thereafter maintain at a predetermined level, the refrigerated storage temperature.
- the cooling capacity differs very clearly during the cooling or freezing process and during the refrigerated transport storage for the same container size.
- the refrigeration system for container cooling must be able to operate efficiently and be so variable that the refrigerating capacity and the service temperature can be used can be varied and operated at the different condensation temperatures without restriction economically and environmentally friendly.
- the refrigerated container with its refrigeration system must be operable in a container stack, its operating regime must be individually adaptable to the transported goods to be cooled.
- one-stage or two-stage refrigeration systems are used according to the prior art, which have compressor, condenser, expansion devices and evaporators.
- the container is cooled directly by circulating refrigerant which, at the evaporator, absorbs heat from the space to be cooled.
- the refrigerant is compressed in one or more stages in one or more compressors to a higher pressure and thus to a condensation temperature above the heat sink (Containerum outline) and then cooled by heat to the environment in a gas cooler or in a condenser and then back in one or more stages to the pressure in the evaporator, resulting in liquid refrigerant and flash vapor at the lower evaporating temperature of the refrigerant.
- This arrangement is carried out in each case only one stage or only multi-stage, so that this refrigeration system either in the single-stage or in the two-stage design is not suitable for the desired application width of a refrigerated container.
- the patent US 4730464 describes a cooling system for cooling a space with air with a compressor and a turbocharger.
- the variability of the refrigeration system is very limited in terms of refrigerating capacity and evaporating temperature.
- Patent DE 3620847 discloses an absorption refrigeration system supplemented by a heat pipe solar collector.
- a disadvantage for the ship's use is the lack of possibility of stacking such a refrigerated container.
- DE 9110982U1 discloses a container cooling and the duct system required for this purpose by means of cooled water which is provided by a chilled water production plant, without heat exchangers on the refrigerated container coming into contact with fluorinated hydrocarbons.
- the container is disadvantageous not self-sufficient.
- the wall of the container is provided with tubular heat transfer surfaces.
- a heat transfer fluid with phase change is performed.
- the cooling process is very sluggish, so that no need-based cooling can be achieved.
- the aim and object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration system for universal cooling of the interior of a container, the useful temperature of which can be adapted to the requirements of the refrigerated goods within wide limits, so that. Cooling or. Freezing processes and storage of the goods at individually predetermined temperature level are possible.

- a second controllable valve means is arranged on a second compressor as a controllable bypass between suction and pressure side and is a third controllable valve means between Pressure side of the first and suction side of the second compressor arranged.
- the communicating connection of the first controllable valve device on the pressure side of the first compressor leads to the third controllable valve device (downstream) ' and the communicating connection of the second controllable valve device branches off on the suction side of the second compressor before the third controllable valve device (FIG. upstream).
- the compressor By changing the opening and closing position of the controllable valve devices, the compressor can be operated in parallel, that is at the same suction pressure and at the same back pressure, or in succession, thereby a compressor as the first compression stage (LP or low pressure compressor) and the second compressor as the second Compression level at higher pressure level (high pressure or high pressure compressor) works.
- Valve devices and by changing the speed of the compressor useful temperature, cooling capacity and pressure ratio of the compressor can be adjusted within wide limits to the needs.
- the refrigeration is realized in one stage, since the useful temperature is still above freezing.
- one of the two compressors is used solely to maintain the useful temperature or both compressors are operated in parallel for lowering the temperature from the introduction temperature to a useful temperature.
- the first and the second controllable valve device are open and the third controllable valve device is closed. If both compressors work in parallel, they work at the same pressure levels on its suction and pressure side, this operation is referred to here as the operating mode NK.
- the refrigeration is realized in two stages.
- the first and the second controllable valve device are closed and the third controllable valve device is opened. This operation is referred to here as operating mode TK.

Both compressors operate at different pressure levels on their suction and pressure sides.
- the back pressure of the HP compressor is the highest pressure of the refrigeration system. Its pressure level corresponds to pressures that are less than the critical pressure of the refrigerant used in the refrigeration system refrigerant circuit directly to the condensation temperature, or the pressure is controlled at pressures above the critical pressure of the refrigerant used depending on the gas cooler outlet temperature.
- the high-pressure refrigerant After leaving the gas cooler, the high-pressure refrigerant is cooled in the internal heat exchanger by a Kälteschteilstro 'm, which is expanded to the pressure level after the LP compressor before it is expanded to the suction pressure of the LP compressor.
- the refrigerant partial stream evaporates by absorbing heat from the high-pressure refrigerant. This exiting from the inner heat exchanger vapor refrigerant flow is supplied to the LP compressor on the pressure side. He is then promoted from the HP compressor at the highest pressure level in the gas cooler.
- the pressure after the LP compressor determines the degree of cooling of the high pressure refrigerant. It is based on the ratio of the volume flows of LP and HP compressors and can be adjusted by controlling the speed of both compressors with regard to the most economical mode of operation.
- the operating modes NK and TK can be advantageously combined with storage of uncooled goods to the cooling rate by very high cooling capacity to accelerate to a certain temperature.
- the operating mode NK is realized until a predetermined temperature is reached in the refrigerated container.
- the controllable valve devices are thereby opened or closed as described above for the operating mode NK.

- the operating mode NK is maintained until the intake pressure has reached a predetermined target value. Only then are the three controllable valve devices according to operating mode TK opened or closed, and the second compressor is taken as LP compressor in operation. Now both compressors work at different pressure levels.
