摘要:
The apparatus has a cooling arrangement with an expander/compressor system, condenser and evaporator primarily for air conditioning. An external heat source is provided for transfer of heat to the expander housing. For example, this heating medium is an electrical heat source in thermal contact with the outer side of the expander housing. Alternatively, the expander is provided inside an externally heated liquid buffer tank.

A refrigerator according to the present invention includes: a cooling part for cooling an object to be cooled through heat exchange with a refrigerant; an expander-integrated compressor including a compressor for compressing the refrigerant and an expander for expanding the refrigerant integrated therein; and a refrigerant circulation line configured to circulate the refrigerant through the compressor, the expander, and the cooling part. The compressor includes a low-stage compressor, a middle-stage compressor, and a high-stage compressor disposed in series in the refrigerant circulation line. The expander-integrated compressor includes: the middle-stage compressor; an expander for adiabatically expanding and cooling the refrigerant discharged from the high-stage compressor; a first motor having an output shaft connected to the middle-stage compressor and to the expander; at least one non-contact type bearing, disposed between the middle-stage compressor and the expander, for supporting the output shaft of the first motor without being in contact with the output shaft; and a casing for housing the middle-stage compressor, the expander, and the at least one non-contact type bearing.
摘要:
The compressor compresses gas in capillaries leading to a radially distant annular container space. Centrifugal force acts on gas bubbles entrained between liquid slugs moving radially outward through the capillaries which may be radial, tangential or continuously curved. Compressed gas is collected in the annular space. A gas-liquid emulsion is fed to the capillaries by an inboard emulsification device. The emulsification may include a vortex generator, an ejector or a venturi injector, all feeding the gas-liquid mixture into the inboard ends of the capillaries. The capillaries are formed in a series of discs, coaxially stacked with outer disc ends open to the annular space. Capillary inlets may be perpendicular, tangential or may define a venturi jet.

A heat pump circuit has a compressor (C) which compresses a working fluid from a gas in a first state (1) with a low pressure and a low temperature to a gas in a second state (2) with a high pressure and a high temperature, wherein a first subflow of the working fluid is passed in a main circuit (Main) and is condensed into a gaseous/liquid mixture upon passage of a condenser (COND) and assumes a third state (3) by the working fluid delivering heat in the condenser (COND) to a first medium belonging to a heat cycle, and said first subflow of the working fluid is expanded in an evaporator (EVAP) and thereby returns to a gas in the first state (1) by absorbing heat from a second medium in a collector circuit connected to the evaporator (EVAP), whereupon the working fluid is returned to the compressor (C) and completes the cycle again, and wherein a second subflow of the compressed working fluid is expanded from the second state (2) that prevails at the outlet of the compressor (C) and is passed in a converting circuit (Transf) to an energy converter (TG) for converting the energy contents in the second subflow of the working fluid that traverses the energy converter (TG) into electrical energy, whereafter the expanded working fluid from the outlet of the energy converter is returned to the compressor (C) according to any of a) after passage of the evaporator (EVAP) for further expansion, b) directly back to the compressor (C) after expansion in the energy converter (TG) from the second state (2) to the first state (1).
