Additionally, transport refrigerant vapor compression systems are subject to vibration and movements not experienced by stationary refrigerant vapor compression systems.
  • Refrigerant vapor compression systems operating in the subcritical range are commonly charged with fluorocarbon refrigerants such as, but not limited to, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), such as R22, and more commonly hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), such as Rl 34a, R410A, R404A and R407C.

  • the controller 100 closes the economizer circuit expansion valve 65 so that all of the refrigerant passing from the gas cooler 40 through refrigerant line 4 passes through the secondary expansion device 75 and thence into the flash tank 70.
  • the controller 100 controls the primary expansion valve 55 to meter the correct amount of refrigerant liquid out of the flash tank 70 in response to the sensed system operating parameters, for example compressor discharge temperature, to match the refrigerant charge demand of the system.
  • the controller 100 controls positioning of the flow control valve 85 interdisposed in refrigerant line 14 to restrict the flow of refrigerant vapor from the flash tank 70 in response to the sensed pressure within the separation chamber flash tank 70 so as to maintain a desired subcritical flash tank pressure.
  • the flash tank pressure may be controlled through positioning of the flow control valve 85 so as to produce a selected refrigerant quality upon expansion.

Additionally, separating the refrigerant into its liquid and vapor phases in the flash tank 70 and sending only the liquid refrigerant through the evaporator, while diverting the vapor refrigerant to a point downstream of the evaporator, improves the effectiveness of heat exchange in the evaporator.

Abstract

Le système de compression de vapeur de réfrigérant selon l'invention comprend économiseur à échangeur thermique réfrigérant/réfrigérant et un ballon de détente disposé selon une relation de flux de réfrigérant série dans le circuit de réfrigérant entre un échangeur thermique à rejet de chaleur de réfrigérant et un échangeur thermique à absorption de chaleur de réfrigérant. Un détendeur primaire est disposé dans le circuit de réfrigérant en amont de l'échangeur thermique à absorption de chaleur de réfrigérant et un détendeur secondaire est disposé dans le circuit de réfrigérant en amont du ballon de détente. Le ballon de détente fonctionne comme un réservoir de stockage de charge de réfrigérant, le réfrigérant étant passé d'une pression supercritique à une pression sous-critique se séparant en des phases liquide et vapeur. Une conduite de dérivation de vapeur de réfrigérant est prévue fin de renvoyer la vapeur de réfrigérant du ballon de détente vers le circuit de réfrigérant en aval de l'échangeur thermique à absorption de chaleur de réfrigérant. Le détendeur primaire et une soupape de régulation du débit disposée dans la conduite de dérivation de vapeur de réfrigérant assurent une gestion de la charge de réfrigérant.
