Abstract:
An ejector refrigeration circuit (1) comprises a high pressure ejector circuit (3) comprising in the direction of flow of a circulating refrigerant: a heat rejecting heat exchanger/gas cooler (4) having an inlet side (4a) and an outlet side (4b); at least two variable ejectors (6, 7) with different capacities connected in parallel, each of the variable ejectors (6, 7) comprising a primary high pressure input port (6a, 7a), a secondary low pressure input port (6b, 7b) and an output port (6c, 7c); wherein the primary high pressure input ports (6a, 7a) of the at least two variable ejectors (6, 7) are fluidly connected to the outlet side (4b) of the heat rejecting heat exchanger/gas cooler (4); a receiver (8), having an inlet (8a), a liquid outlet (8c), and a gas outlet (8b), wherein the inlet (8a) is fluidly connected to the output ports (6c, 7c) of the at least two variable ejectors (6, 7); at least one compressor (2a, 2b, 2c) having an inlet side (21a, 21 b, 21c) and an outlet side (22a, 22b, 22c), the inlet side (21a, 21 b, 21c) of the at least one compressor (2a, 2b, 2c) being fluidly connected to the gas outlet (8b) of the receiver (8), and the outlet side (22a, 22b, 22c) of the at least one compressor (2a, 2b, 2c) being fluidly connected to the inlet side (4a) of the heat rejecting heat exchanger/gas cooler (4). The ejector refrigeration circuit (1) further comprises a refrigerating evaporator flowpath (5) comprising in the direction of flow of the circulating refrigerant: at least one refrigeration expansion device (10) having an inlet side (10a), fluidly connected to the liquid outlet (8c) of the receiver (8), and an outlet side (7b); at least one refrigeration evaporator (12) fluidly connected between the outlet side (10b) of the at least one refrigeration expansion device (10) and the secondary low pressure input ports (6b, 7b) of the at least two variable ejectors (6, 7).
