  • a refrigeration system according to a first embodiment comprises a compressor C, an outlet of which being connected to an inlet opening CI of a condenser COND.
  • This inlet opening is in fluid communication with an outlet opening C3.
  • An inlet opening C4 is in fluid communication with an outlet opening C2, and a heat carrier flows between these inlet and outlet openings under heat exchange with initially gaseous refrigerant delivered from the outlet of the compressor C to the inlet CI of the condenser COND. Due to the heat exchange, the initially gaseous refrigerant will condensate during its passage between the inlet CI and the outlet C3.
  • the outlet C3 is fluidly connected to both an inlet EXP 1 of an expansion valve EXPV and an inlet S 1 of a suction gas heat exchanger SGHX.
  • the inlet SI is in fluid communication with an outlet S4 of the suction gas heat exchanger SGHX, wherein the outlet S4 is in fluid communication with an inlet EXP2 of the expansion valve EXPV.
  • the expansion valve EXPV is in fluid communication with an inlet El of an evaporator EVAP, and the inlets EXP 1 and EXP2 can be individually controlled to decide whether the refrigerant shall travel directly from the outlet C3 of the condenser COND or via the suction gas heat exchanger SGHX, or both.
  • the inlet El is in fluid communication with an outlet E3 of the evaporator EVAP, and during the passage between the inlet El and the outlet E2, the refrigerant will absorb heat from a heat carrier flowing from an inlet E4 to an outlet E2 of the evaporator EVAP. During its passage between the inlet El and the outlet E3, the refrigerant will evaporate by absorbing heat from the heat carrier flowing between the inlet E4 and the outlet E2.
  • the outlet E3 is in fluid communication with an inlet S2 of the suction gas heat exchanger SGHX, which in turn is in fluid communication with an outlet S3 of the suction gas heat exchanger SGHX.
  • the outlet S3 is in fluid communication with the compressor C, meaning that the refrigerant circle now is complete.
  • a refrigeration cycle transports heat between a low temperature source and a high temperature source. This is achieved by two different temperature and pressure levels in the refrigeration circuit, namely a high pressure, high temperature zone on a condenser side of the refrigeration circuit between the compressor C and the expansion vale EXPV, and a low temperature, low pressure side on an evaporator side between the expansion valve EXPV and the compressor C.
  • suction gas heat exchanger SGHX The purpose of the suction gas heat exchanger SGHX is to allow a heat exchange between cool gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator EVAP and warm liquid refrigerant from the condenser C. This has two effects: 1. The temperature of the gaseous refrigerant exiting the evaporator will be higher, meaning that its density will be lower.
  • the temperature of the liquid refrigerant about to enter the expansion valve will be lower, which will minimize flash boiling of the refrigerant during its passage through the expansion valve.
  • EXP 1 and EXP2 may be separate expansion valves.
  • the expansion valve EXPV is a single expansion valve, i.e. an expansion valve having a single inlet for all liquid refrigerant.
  • the amount of heat exchange in the suction gas is controlled by a bypass valve BPl, which when opened allows warm liquid refrigerant from the condenser COND to bypass the suction gas heat exchanger, hence reducing the amount of heat exchange in the suction gas heat exchanger.
  • a second bypass valve BP2 is arranged to control the communication between the condenser COND and the suction gas heat exchanger.
  • FIG. 3 A fourth embodiment is shown in Fig. 3. According to this embodiment, all warm liquid refrigerant from the condenser will pass the suction gas heat exchanger SGHX. The amount of heat exchange in the suction gas heat exchanger SGHX is controlled by an expansion valve EXPV3.

  • expansion valve EXPV i.e. the "normal" expansion valve
  • the boiling point of the refrigerant is controlled such that a desired heat exchange between liquid refrigerant from the condenser C and the gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator EVAP is achieved in the suction gas heat exchanger SGHX.
  • the refrigerant pressure level is such that the refrigerant has a boiling point slightly lower than the temperature of the low temperature heat source with which the refrigerant exchanges heat in order to vaporize.
  • a high ratio between the high pressure side and the low pressure side will allow for a large temperature difference between the source where heat is collected and the temperature source to which the heat is delivered.
  • the expansion valves (which, together with the compressor, control the pressure ratio between the high pressure side and the low pressure side) will be impossible to control if the refrigerant passing there through contains any gas at all.
  • the pressure ratio between the high pressure side and the low pressure side should be such that the refrigerant boiling point on the low pressure side is identical to the temperature of the low temperature heat source.
  • the pressure ratio between the high pressure side and the low pressure side should be such that the refrigerant boiling temperature on the high pressure side is identical to the temperature of the high temperature heat source.
  • the pressure ratio must be slightly higher than the theoretically optimal temperature, i.e. such that the refrigerant boiling temperature on the low pressure side is lower than the low temperature heat source and the refrigerant boiling temperature on the high pressure side is higher than the temperature of the high temperature heat source.
  • the difference between the low pressure refrigerant boiling temperature and the low temperature heat source may cause overheating of the gaseous refrigerant leaving the evaporator.
  • controllable suction gas heat exchanger presented herein, it is possible to control the overheating of the gaseous refrigerant, hence making it possible to fine- tune the pressure ratio to an optimum level, while securing that the overheating is neither too extensive - causing bad compressor efficiency - nor too low - causing refrigerant droplets entering the compressor, hence risking total compressor failure.
  • expansion valves and the bypass valves used in the different embodiments of the invention are controllable, either in an analogue manner, i.e. by provision of pressure, temperature or pressure ratio sensing means being connected to the valve, e.g. by a capillary tube connected to a bulb in thermal contact with the refrigerant, the temperature of which should control the bypass or expansion valve.
  • bypass valves and expansion valves it is possible to control the amount of heat exchange in the suction gas heat exchanger based on virtually any measured value, e.g. pressure ratio, temperature, compressor speed, load, etc, etc.
  • bypass and expansion valves By controlling the expansion valves and/or bypass valves, it is possible to optimize a refrigeration system presented herein such that it performs as well at part load as it does on full load.
  • the bypass and expansion valves will be controlled such that little or no heat exchange takes place in the suction gas heat exchanger during part load conditions, whereas they will be controlled such that the heat exchange in the suction gas heat exchanger will be significant during full load conditions.

Abstract

Ce système de réfrigération comporte un compresseur pour comprimer un réfrigérant gazeux, de telle sorte que la température et la pression de celui-ci augmentent, et que le point d'ébullition de celui-ci diminue. Le système de réfrigération comporte également un condenseur, dans lequel le réfrigérant gazeux provenant du compresseur échange de la chaleur avec un caloporteur à haute température. Cet échange de chaleur conduit à la condensation du réfrigérant. Un détendeur dans le système de réfrigération réduit la pression du réfrigérant liquide provenant du condenseur, réduisant ainsi le point d'ébullition du réfrigérant. Le système de réfrigération comporte en outre un évaporateur, dans lequel le réfrigérant à bas point d'ébullition échange de la chaleur avec un caloporteur à basse température, de telle sorte que le réfrigérant se vaporise, et un échangeur de chaleur de gaz d'aspiration qui échange de la chaleur entre le réfrigérant liquide à haute température provenant du condenseur et le réfrigérant gazeux à haute température provenant de l'évaporateur. Des moyens sont prévus dans le système de réfrigération pour réguler la quantité d'échange de chaleur dans l'échangeur de chaleur à gaz d'aspiration.
