  • Vapor-compression refrigeration systems include an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion device.
  • a vapor-compression cycle re-uses refrigerant in multiple steps producing a cooling effect in one step and a heating effect in a different step. The cycle can be described simply as follows.
  • Liquid refrigerant enters an evaporator through an expansion device, and the liquid refrigerant boils in the evaporator at a low temperature to form a gas and produce cooling.
  • the low-pressure gas enters a compressor where the gas is compressed to raise its pressure and temperature.
  • the higher-pressure (compressed) gaseous refrigerant then enters the condenser in which the refrigerant condenses and discharges its heat to the environment.
  • the refrigerant returns to the expansion device through which the liquid expands from the higher-pressure level in the condenser to the low-pressure level in the evaporator, thus repeating the cycle.
  • compressors There are various types of compressors that may be used in refrigeration applications.
  • Compressors can be generally classified as reciprocating, rotary, jet, centrifugal, scroll, screw or axial-flow, depending on the mechanical means to compress the fluid, or as positive- displacement (e.g., reciprocating, scroll or screw) or dynamic (e.g., centrifugal or jet), depending on how the mechanical elements act on the fluid to be compressed. Either positive displacement or dynamic compressors may be used in the present inventive process.
  • a centrifugal type compressor is the preferred equipment for the present refrigerant compositions.
  • a centrifugal compressor uses rotating elements to accelerate the refrigerant radially, and typically includes an impeller and diffuser housed in a casing.
  • Centrifugal compressors usually take fluid in at an impeller eye, or central inlet of a circulating impeller, and accelerate it radially outward. Some static pressure rise occurs in the impeller, but most of the pressure rise occurs in the diffuser section of the casing, where velocity is converted to static pressure.
  • Each impeller-diffuser set is a stage of the compressor.
  • Centrifugal compressors are built with from 1 to 12 or more stages, depending on the final pressure desired and the volume of refrigerant to be handled.
  • the pressure ratio, or compression ratio, of a compressor is the ratio of absolute discharge pressure to the absolute inlet pressure. Pressure delivered by a centrifugal compressor is practically constant over a relatively wide range of capacities.
  • Positive displacement compressors draw vapor into a chamber, and the chamber decreases in volume to compress the vapor. After being compressed, the vapor is forced from the chamber by further decreasing the volume of the chamber to zero or nearly zero.
  • a positive displacement compressor can build up a pressure, which is limited only by the volumetric efficiency and the strength of the parts to withstand the pressure.
  • a centrifugal compressor depends entirely on the centrifugal force of the high-speed impeller to compress the vapor passing through the impeller. There is no positive displacement, but rather what is called dynamic-compression. The pressure a centrifugal compressor can develop depends on the tip speed of the impeller.
  • Tip speed is the speed of the impeller measured at its tip and is related to the diameter of the impeller and its revolutions per minute.
  • the capacity of the centrifugal compressor is determined by the size of the passages through the impeller. This makes the size of the compressor more dependent on the pressure required than the capacity. Because of its high-speed operation, a centrifugal compressor is fundamentally a high volume, low-pressure machine.
  • a centrifugal compressor works best with a low-pressure refrigerant, such as trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11 ) or 1 ,2,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC- 113). Large centrifugal compressors typically operate at 3000 to 7000 revolutions per minute (rpm).
  • Small turbine centrifugal compressors are designed for high speeds, from about 40,000 to about 70,000 (rpm), and have small impeller sizes, typically less than 0.15 meters.
  • a multi-stage impeller may be used in a centrifugal compressor to improve compressor efficiency thus requiring less power in use.
  • the discharge of the first stage impeller goes to the suction intake of a second impeller.
  • Both impellers may operate by use of a single shaft (or axle).
  • Each stage can build up a compression ratio of about 4 to 1 ; that is, the absolute discharge pressure can be four times the absolute suction pressure.
  • An example of a two- stage centrifugal compressor system, in this case for automotive applications, is described in US 5,065,990, incorporated herein by reference.
