Abstract

A multi-stage compressor unit for a refrigeration system configured to circulate a refrigerant comprises a first compressor sub-unit having a first stage and a second stage, and a second compressor sub-unit in parallel with the first compressor sub-unit and having a first stage. The first and second stages of the first compressor sub-unit each have a suction port and a discharge port. The first compressor sub-unit is configured to receive and compress a first portion of the refrigerant from an evaporator. The first stage of the second compressor sub-unit is configured to compress a second portion of the refrigerant.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 09 June 2008 (09.06.09)
1. A multi-stage compressor unit for a refrigeration system configured to circulate a refrigerant, the multi-stage compressor unit comprising: a first compressor sub-unit having a first stage and a second stage, wherein the first and second stages of the first compressor sub-unit each have a suction port and a discharge port, and wherein the first compressor sub-unit is configured to receive and compress a first portion of the refrigerant from an evaporator; and a second compressor sub-unit in parallel with the first compressor sub-unit and having a first stage, wherein the first stage of the second compressor sub- unit has a suction port and a discharge port, and wherein the second compressor sub-unit is configured to compress a second portion of the refrigerant prior to the compressed second portion being combined with the compressed first portion.
2. The multi-stage compressor unit of claim 1, wherein the first stage of the second compressor sub-unit is configured to receive the second portion of the refrigerant from a second evaporator.
3. The multi-stage compressor unit of claim 1, wherein the first stage of the second compressor sub-unit is configured to receive the second portion of the refrigerant from a first economizer circuit.
4. The multi-stage compressor unit of claim 3, wherein the first compressor sub-unit further comprises an interstage port disposed between the discharge port of the first stage and the suction port of the second stage, and wherein the interstage port is configured to receive a third portion of the refrigerant from a second economizer circuit.
5. The multi-stage compressor unit of claim 1, wherein the first compressor sub-unit and the second compressor sub-unit comprise reciprocating compressors.
6. The multi-stage compressor unit of claim 1, wherein the refrigerant is a transcritical refrigerant.
7. The multi-stage compressor unit of claim 1, and further comprising an intercooler configured to cool the first portion of the refrigerant between the first and second stages of the first compressor sub-unit.
8. The multi-stage compressor unit of claim 1, wherein the second compressor sub-unit is configured to discharge into an interstage port of the first compressor sub-unit.
9. The multi-stage compressor unit of claim 1, wherein the second compressor sub-unit further comprises a second stage having a suction port and a discharge port, and wherein the first and second stages of the second compressor sub-unit are connected in series.
