Definitions

  • the present invention relates to lubricant monitoring system of a compressor of a refrigerating circuit particularly but not exclusively suitable for hermetic compressors and not of a refrigerating circuit.
  • refrigerant circuits provided with hermetic rotary compressors such as the rotary vane compressor where the cylindrical piston rotating about its own geometric axis is provided with at least one radially movable vane and rotates inside a cylindrical seat offset with respect to the rotation and geometric axis of the piston and where the chambers delimited by one or two adjacent vanes and by the facing cylindrical surfaces of the chamber and of the piston have a volume which cyclically passes from a maximum value to a minimum value; said chamber is provided with an inlet, or a suction or intake port, and of an exit, or a delivery port, positioned so as to take advantage of room volume changes to compress incoming gas.
  • hermetic compressors and other types of hermetic and non-hermetic compressors are often without any checking means of lubricating oil level, for example of a transparent window type, a rod, a level sensor or oil pressure lubricant, etc.
  • compressors for refrigeration systems may be equipped with means for checking the oil level, but these means may be placed in positions that are inaccessible or the plant may not be guarded by personnel assigned to check the oil level.
  • a disadvantage of such known systems and compressors consists in that the lack of oil verification means or of direct control of said means can lead to their operation with an insufficient oil (or lubricant in general) level or quantity so causing a very rapid deterioration and seizure of compressor with consequent plant shutdown, so that, in addition to requiring the replacement or repair of compressor, may cause deterioration of goods or materials whose conservation or proper functioning was entrusted to the plant itself.
  • An object of the present invention is to propose a lubricant monitoring system of a compressor of a refrigerating circuit applied to lubricated compressors of hermetic and non-hermetic type, of eccentric piston type, of rotary piston, of reciprocating piston, and similar compressors or of any other type, without needing the internal access to compressor for checking the lubricant state or presence and without physical intervention on the compressor itself.
  • Another object is to propose a system fit for emitting alarm signals of any kind, even digital and remotely, in case of insufficient lubricant quantity.
  • a further object is to propose a system capable of deactivating and/or switching off the compressor whose lubricant level is insufficient.
  • Another object is to propose a system that can be implemented both in new plants and on already installed systems.
  • a further object is to propose a system that is also suitable for compressors in systems equipped with several compressors, with sections at low, medium and high temperatures and in heat pump systems.
  • Said compressor 10 has a sensor detecting the lubricant oil pressure (element 44 of figure 1 of document N.
  • US 5 209 076 A for providing the system with oil pressure data used by the system to detect abnormal conditions of the lubricant oil or troubles and to generate an alarm when said abnormal conditions occur.
  • US 5 209 076 A discloses a monitoring system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the oil check (option 132, conditional step 134 of figure 3 and diagram of figure 6 of document N. US 5 209 076 A ) provides, as at lines 56-60 of column 3 of document N. US 5 209 076 A , the use of a pressure transducer 44 sensing the pressure of the lubricating oil that is used for lubrication of the compressor 10 and provides oil pressure information to the device 38. Said system generates an alarm if the oil pressure doesn't reach or overpass a preset threshold within a predetermined time span, as in manostat, but without providing any indications related to lubricant oil if the compressor is not provided from the beginning or has an internal sensor of the lubricant pressure.
  • the possible outlet compressed gas pressure sensor of document N. US 5 209 076 A is provided for stopping the compressor in case of high pressure (fig. 7 of document N. US 5 209 076 A ) and it doesn't cooperate to oil checking.
  • WO 96/39601 A1 refers to an apparatus and method to determine and to control the oil level in one or more refrigeration system compressors (14, 18).
  • the invention of document WO 96/39601 A1 returns lubricating oil to compressors to maintain oil levels sufficient for proper lubrication of each compressor, and also monitors the flow rate of oil returned to each individual compressor.
  • a level sensor (93, 94) and a flow control device (88) are connected to a control circuit (56) to control the flow of lubricating oil returning to the compressors.
  • Prior art document EP 2 690 379 A1 refers to a heat pump circuit whose output gas pressure is continuously (during the compressor operative condition) monitored to detect possible instability thereof and to provide information on possible oil trapping into the circuit, but without detecting a possible lack of oil quantity
  • the numeral 1 indicates the lubricant monitoring system of a compressor 3 of a refrigerant circuit 2 and object of the present invention.
  • the circuit 2 can preferably be of the refrigerator and/or heat pump type with one or more compressors, one or more stages and with sections fit to supply a single user or several users requiring different values of cooling capacity or temperature.
  • Figure 1 shows a principle schematic view of a single compressor refrigerating system, but the invention is not limited to this type of circuit being practicable immediately in any type of refrigeration system or other type using compressors or pumps.
  • the compressor 3 can be of almost any type with or without checking means of lubricating oil level and in the following it will be made reference to hermetic compressor of eccentric piston type on which many tests have been carried out and to which Figures 2 and 3 refer.
  • lubricant will be used to indicate the lubricating oil and any other and different types of lubricants used in the compressor.
  • the compressor is equipped with an intake 5 for the input of compressible fluid (for example consisting of a refrigerating fluid at gaseous state such as CO 2 or of other fluid that is in gaseous phase at least in some conditions or portions of the circuit 2) and with a delivery 9 for the compressed compressible fluid outlet.
  • compressible fluid for example consisting of a refrigerating fluid at gaseous state such as CO 2 or of other fluid that is in gaseous phase at least in some conditions or portions of the circuit 2
  • delivery 9 for the compressed compressible fluid outlet.
  • the compressor can be equipped with one or more accumulators and several other known optional elements, in particular with an internal or external by-pass 29 provided with a closing valve which can be operated by the control means (not shown) of the circuit which, as better reported below, when the compressor motor is switched off, closes the valve of this by-pass, preventing flows through it.
  • the by-pass is active during start-up so allowing the compressor to start; during operation the bypass is closed.
  • the by-pass is closed so allowing to evaluate the delivery pressure drop and therefore the pressure inside the compressor.
  • the compressor is preferably of an electric type whose electrical power is controlled, at least when switched off and on, by the circuit control means.
  • the refrigerant monitoring system of the compressor 3 of the refrigeration circuit 2 comprises a state detector 11 for the compressor switching on or off, or for supplying or not supplying the compressor motor.
  • This state detector 11 may comprise a rotation detector of the motor axis (for example by inverter) or a voltage detector on the motor terminal or it may consist of the signal source, for switching on and off the compressor motor, which is provided in the circuit control means.
  • the system is also equipped with a pressure sensor 13 of compressible working fluid of the circuit, where said pressure sensor 13 is located at the delivery 9 of compressor 3 or immediately downstream of said delivery, the pressure sensor 13 it is therefore intended to provide an analog or digital signal representative of the pressure values of the compressible fluid outgoing the compressor delivery. Since the delivery 9 is in direct connection with the high pressure chamber of the compressor 3, lubricated by the lubricant, the pressure measured by the pressure sensor 13 at the delivery 9 corresponds to the pressure in the high pressure chamber.
  • the state detector 11 and the pressure sensor 13 are connected to a monitoring device 15 to provide the latter with data respectively on the operating status of the compressor 3 and on the compressible fluid pressure at the compressor delivery 9.
  • compressors and known circuits are originally provided with an own pressure detector of working fluid flowing from the delivery 9 of compressor 3 and said detector being intended, for example, to control this pressure by providing analogue or digital measurements to an electrical or electronic appliance for controlling said compressors and known circuits.
  • the pressure sensor 13 of the system of the invention can consist of said pressure sensor of the compressed working fluid coming out from the compressor delivery and the electrical signals, analog or digital, of said detector are sent to said monitoring device 15, being connected to the detector and acting as a pressure sensor 13; alternatively, for example, with a compressor without a compressible working fluid pressure detector at delivery or with a detector not suitable for supplying signals or data to the monitoring device 15, the inventive system provides for application at the delivery or at the compressor delivery manifold of an own and specific pressure sensor 13.
  • the lubricant level or its insufficiency are estimated on the basis of the compressible fluid pressure at the compressor outlet without direct or indirect access to oil or other lubricant.
  • the monitoring device 15 may be an independent entity that can be connected to the circuit control means, for example for acquiring the compressor on or off status, or the monitoring device 15 can be integrated with the circuit control means.
  • monitoring device 15 When monitoring device 15 detects that the compressor status changes from on to off, it records the flow of the working fluid pressure at delivery 9 supplied by pressure sensor 13 or detects one or more parameters of this flow, for example TSa time, counted starting from the compressor shutdown, necessary in order that the delivery pressure value to stabilize on a nearly constant value.
  • TSa time time, counted starting from the compressor shutdown, necessary in order that the delivery pressure value to stabilize on a nearly constant value.
  • the behavior is different with or without oil. If gas passes between the internal seals (seals between compressor delivery and intake), then the pressure drop in the compressor delivery chamber is rapid if, on the contrary, oil passes, this drop is slow.
  • the monitoring device 15 performs, by means of one or more algorithms stored therein, a comparison between the working pressure of the compressible working fluid at the delivery 9 starting from this detection of the stop instant and a predetermined flow memorized therein.
  • the monitoring device 15 emits at least one low level alarm signal of the lubricating oil.
  • the time interval TSa required for stabilizing said pressure in the compressor with the maximum amount of lubricant is greater than the duration of the time interval TSm required for stabilizing such pressure in the compressor with the minimum amount of lubricant (comparing TSa and TSm times in Figures 2 and 3 it can be taken into account the scale diversity of the respective abscissas axes which flattens the differences in such times and flows).
  • the monitoring device 15 detects a minimum (or insufficient) lubricant condition and emits at least said low level alarm signal of oil or of other lubricant.
  • the monitoring device 15 compares the pressure flows by comparing the time required to the pressure of the compressible fluid at the delivery 9 to stabilize or, alternatively, to reach a predetermined standard value, with corresponding time values.
  • the first phase is also reduced until reaching the flow of Figure 3 corresponding to the minimum amount of lubricating oil and in which the first phase has almost disappeared.
  • the calculation of the first and/or second derivatives (for example carried out by calculating the pressure differentials at appropriate sampling time intervals) of the time flow of pressure at the delivery after the compressor has been switched off at particular times starting from that shutdown or for all the flow makes it possible to evaluate the achievement of the minimum acceptable lubricant amount, for example a high absolute value of the first derivative shortly after the compressor switching off or a second derivative corresponding to a concavity almost always turned upwards indicate that the lubricating oil amount in the compressor is minimal or low.
  • the monitoring device 15 can compare the pressure flows by comparing the values of the first and/or second derivatives at certain time intervals or their average values in one or more time intervals or the integrals of such flows starting from the extinction instant until the moment in which the pressure of the compressible fluid at the delivery 9 stabilizes or reaches a predetermined value.
  • one or more predetermined reference flows of the pressure at the delivery can be stored, which can be selected according to the lubricant type and/or to the operating conditions or is memorized in the monitoring device 15 one or more real pressure flows to the delivery detected following to the compressor shutdown in real operating conditions in which the compressor contains the maximum amount of lubricating oil.
  • the monitoring device 15 following to the compressor switching off, operates each connection and by-pass closing between intake and delivery of the compressor.

  • the monitoring device 15 can be provided with a digital output connected to transmission means, for example of a wired local network or wireless type or of a type for remote communications, and in said alarm case (that is, a discrepancy between the two detected and reference flows, higher than a predetermined threshold) sends through said transmission means an alarm signal in digital form to at least one local or remote operating center.
  • transmission means for example of a wired local network or wireless type or of a type for remote communications
