- FIGURE 1 is a flow diagram of a refrigeration system incorporating aspects of the instant invention
- FIGURE 2 is a table showing the modes of operating the system shown in FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 3 is a temperature control. circuit for the system shown in FIGURE 1.
- the refrigeration system has a first refrigeration circuit 1 comprising a refrigerant compressor 2, a first solenoid operated normally closed shut-off valve 3, an air cooled refrigerant condenser 4, a first refrigerant receiver 5, a one-way check valve 6 arranged for fiow from the receiver, a second solenoid operated normally closed shutoff valve 7, a second receiver 8 adapted to be heated by refrigerant in a second refrigerant circuit yet to be described, the first portion 9 of a suction line heat exchanger 14, a throttling means such as thermostatically controlled expansion valve 10, an air heated evaporator 11 disposed in heat exchange relation with a space 12 to be temperature conditioned, and the second portion 13 of heat exchanger 14 respectively serially connected in a closed refrigerant loop.
- a first refrigeration circuit 1 comprising a refrigerant compressor 2, a first solenoid operated normally closed shut-off valve 3, an air cooled refrigerant condenser 4, a first refrigerant receiver 5, a one-way check valve
- the refrigeration system further has a second refrigerant circuit 15 comprising compressor 2, solenoid operated normally closed shut-off valve 16, heat exchanger 17 adapted to heat receiver 8, an air cooled condenser 18 disposed in heat exchange relation with space 12, a liquid-gas separator 19, a refrigerant liquid receiver 20, a throttling means such as thermostatically controlled expansion valve 21, and a water heated evaporator 22 respectively serially connected in a closed refrigerant loop.
- a second refrigerant circuit 15 comprising compressor 2, solenoid operated normally closed shut-off valve 16, heat exchanger 17 adapted to heat receiver 8, an air cooled condenser 18 disposed in heat exchange relation with space 12, a liquid-gas separator 19, a refrigerant liquid receiver 20, a throttling means such as thermostatically controlled expansion valve 21, and a water heated evaporator 22 respectively serially connected in a closed refrigerant loop.
- Second refrigerant circuit 15 further includes a conduit 23 bypassing receiver 20 and expansion valve 21 for conducting gas from separator 19 to a point in the second refrigerant circuit downstream of expansion valve 21 and upstream of evaporator 22 which includes a thermostatically controlled valve 24 arranged to open upon sensing a temperature below a predetermined temperature. It will be noted that those portions of said first and second circuits immediately upstream and downstream of compressor 2 are common to each other.
- Compressor 2 is driven continuously by internal combustion engine 25.
- Engine 25 is provided with a water cooling system including a water circulator pump 26, a heat exchanger 27 adapted to heat evaporator 22 and an air cooled engine radiator 28 respectively connected in series with the water jacket of engine 25.
- the cooling water circuit further has a bypass conduit 29 shunting radiator 28 provided with a water temperature responsive valve 35) for controlling the temperature of the water returning to the engine.
- Valve 24 is arranged to be responsive to the temperature of the water in that portion of the water cooling circuit downstream of pump 26 and upstream of heat exchanger 27.
- the refrigeration system further has a fan 31 for passing atmospheric cooling air sequentially over condenser 4 and radiator 28.
- Evaporator 11 and condenser 18 are constructed as separate circuits in a single fin-andtube heat exchanger 32 having common fins 33 embracing both circuits.
- Fan 34 is arranged to pass air from the conditioned space over heat exchanger 32 for conditioning the air in space 12.
- a control thermostat 35 arranged in heat exchange relation with space 12 operates the valves 3, 7 and 16 in accordance with the operating modes shown in the chart of FIGURE 2. The control circuit for this purpose is shown in FIGURE 3.
- the subcooled liquid refrigerant is throttled to a lower pressure by passage through expansion valve 10.
- the refrigerant at greatly reduced pressure is caused to evaporate in evaporator 11 by heat absorbed from the air of the condition-space circulated over evaporator 11 by fan 34.
- the vaporized refrigerant passes to the suction side of the compressor via the second portion 13 of the suction line heat exchanger 14.
- receiver 8 is substantially full of liquid refrigerant.
- the engine 25 is cooled by cooling water which passes from pump 26,
- thermostatic valve 30 control the temperature of this return water. The system operating in this manner will cause the temperature in conditioned space 12 to be lowered until thermostatic control 35 indicates that no further substantial cooling is needed by energizing valve 16 thus causing valve 16 to open. Valves 3 and 7 remain energized and open.
- a portion of the compressed refrigerant from compressor 2 continues to pass through the first refrigerant circuit in the manner just described. However, since valve 16 is now open, a portion of the compressed refrigerant from compressor 2 passes through valve 16, heat exchanger 17, to condenser 18. The hot refrigerant gas is then cooled and condensed by heat rejected to the conditioned space via the air directed over condenser 18 by fan 34. Also some heat is conducted directly to evaporator 11 via fins 33. The condensed refrigerant then passes through separator 19, receiver 20 to expansion valve 21 where the pressure is reduced upon the refrigerant entering evaporator 22. The liquid refrigerant at reduced pressure in evaporator 22 is vaporized by heat from the engine cooling water in heat exchanger 27.
- evaporized refrigerant is returned from evaporator 22 to compressor 2. Since evaporator 11 tends to cool while condenser 18 tends to heat the conditioned space, the net exchange of heat between the conditioned space and heat exchanger 32 is little or nothing. If desired, the system components may be designed to achieve small net cooling or heating by exchanger 32 under this compensating cycle of operation.
- temperature controller 35 will further move to a position de-energizing and opening solenoid valves 3 and 7 thus terminating flow through the first refrigerant circuit.
- Valve 16 remains energized and open and the second refrigerant circuit continues to operate in a manner similar to that just described. However, now all the compressed refrigerant gas from compressor 2 is directed through valve 16, etc. This gas passing through heat exchanger 17 causes some refrigerant in receiver 8 to vaporize whereupon the refrigerant in receiver 8 is driven through evaporator 11 into the suction side of the compressor and ultimately into the second refrigerant circuit.
- a large portion of the refrigerant used in the first refrigerant circuit for the cooling cycle is utilized in the second refrigerant circuit during the heating cycle thereby minimizing the amount of refrigerant required in the system.
- valve 24 is opened in response to low cooling water temperature. This permits the refrigerant gas at separator 19 to temporarily bypass receiver 20 and expansion valve 21 thereby permitting an unrestricted flow of refrigerant gas back to the compressor. Separator 19 permits substantially only gas to travel this route so that no slugging will occur in the compressor. After the normal engine temperatures are reached, valve 24 is closed and all refrigerant passing through the second refrigerant circuit 15 must pass through expansion valve 21 as during normal operation under compensating or heating modes of operation.
