Definitions
- the disclosure relates to refrigeration. More particularly, the disclosure relates to chiller systems.
- One aspect of the disclosure involves an apparatus having a centrifugal compressor, a positive displacement compressor, a first heat exchanger, and a second heat exchanger.
- a plurality of valves are positioned to provide operation in at least two modes. In a first mode, refrigerant is compressed in the positive displacement compressor and the centrifugal compressor at least partially in parallel. In a second mode, refrigerant is compressed in the positive displacement compressor and the centrifugal compressor is offline. In a third mode, refrigerant is compressed in the positive displacement compressor and the centrifugal compressor at least partially in series.
- An exemplary system 20 is a chiller system wherein the first heat exchanger 32 is a liquid-cooled condenser or gas cooler and the second heat exchanger 36 is the cooler.
- An exemplary expansion device 34 is an electronic expansion valve (EV) which may be controlled by the chiller's controller 40 (e.g., a computer or microcontroller).
- An alternative expansion device 34 is a float valve within the condenser 32.
- the exemplary first heat exchanger has at least one inlet 50 and at least one outlet 52 along the refrigerant flowpath 30.
- the second heat exchanger 36 has at least one inlet 54 and at least one outlet 56 along the refrigerant flowpath.
- the compressor 24 has an inlet port 60 and an outlet port 62.
- the second compressor 26 has an inlet port 64 and an outlet port 66.
- valve 72 In the exemplary at least partially parallel operation, the valve 72 is closed whereas the valves 74 and 70 are open. In a second mode, only the second compressor 26 is in operation. The valves 70 and 72 are closed whereas the valve 74 is open.
- a third mode is a series mode wherein the compressors are operated in series. In the exemplary series mode, the valves 70 and 74 are closed whereas the valve 72 is open. Refrigerant passes without diversion from the second heat exchanger outlet 56 through the first compressor, the valve 72, and the second compressor before entering the first heat exchanger inlet 50.
- a fourth possible mode involves having only the first compressor 24 in operation. In this mode, the valves 72 and 74 are closed and the valve 70 is open.
- Line 202 represents a constant temperature of 85F (29.44C).
- 85F 85F
- the ambient temperature changes very little from day to night. In such regions, the condenser water temperature remains constant. It' s an industry standard, to consider the entering condenser water temperature constant at 85F between 25% and 100% load.
- Table I shows lift for the ARI conditions and corresponding tropical conditions. Centigrade temperatures are conversions from the listed Fahrenheit values and thus do not add and present false precision. Other SI parentheticals herein similarly represent conversions from the original US or English values.
- the at least partially parallel first mode is utilized at high loads and the second mode (positive displacement compressor-only) is used at low loads.
- the second mode may be used from essentially zero load to an intermediate load value. Between the intermediate load value and the maximum load, the at least partially parallel mode is used.
- the intermediate load value may, however, be subject to appropriate hysteresis control to avoid excessive cycling when operating near changeover conditions.
- the second compressor may be operated at increasing speed and/or power.
- the first compressor may be brought online at full or near full capacity and the second compressor reset to zero or other low capacity value. Thereafter, with increasing load, the speed and/or power of the second compressor may be increased.
- a control process 300 starts by measuring or otherwise determining 302 the saturation temperatures of the condenser (T COND ) and the cooler (T COOL )- T COND and T COOL may respectively be determined by measuring the pressures via the pressure sensors 132 and 182 and then calculating the saturation temperatures (either via a lookup table or programmed function).
- the lift is calculated 304 as T COND minus T COOL - If the lift is greater than a given threshold (e.g., 50F (28C)) the system may be operated 306 in the fourth (series) mode. In the series mode, the capacity of the centrifugal compressor is controlled by compressor speed and by inlet guide vane orientation.
- centrifugal compressor speed is incrementally increased and its guide vanes are incrementally closed until the centrifugal compressor comes out of surge.
- a similar logic is applied for the screw compressor (i.e., first speed followed by slide valve). Reducing the speed always results in reduced power consumption or increased efficiency.
- Capacity is controlled via speed when variable speed drive is present and by slide valve for fixed speed case.
- operation may also be in the first mode.
- Balance between the compressors may be refined based upon the head.
- the system is run in the parallel mode with the screw compressor operating at a fixed capacity and the centrifugal compressor operating at variable capacity to provide the required overall capacity.
- the screw compressor may be operated at 50% of its maximum capacity and the centrifugal compressor being operated at between 50 and 100% of its maximum capacity (thereby combining to provide the exemplary 50-75% of maximum system capacity operation).
- Such an operation is chosen so as to avoid surge of the centrifugal compressor.
- operation may also be in the first mode, with compressors running 340 at equal loads.
- compressors running 340 at equal loads.
- each may be run at between 75 and 100% of its own maximum capacity to satisfy the required capacity.
