    摘要: A system and method is provided for controlling the operation of secondary coolant pump(s) in a refrigeration system having a secondary coolant system that circulates the coolant to applicable cooling loads, and a primary refrigeration system that chills the coolant in the secondary coolant system. The system and method for controlling the pumps measures the pressure of the plurality of secondary coolant fluid loops, sorts the measurements to identify a secondary coolant fluid loop with a pressure farthest from a setpoint, and adjusts pump speed to compensate for the critical loop (i.e., the secondary coolant fluid loop with a pressure furthest from the setpoint).

    摘要: A secondary coolant refrigeration system powered primarily by a photovoltaic source and by an alternating current (AC) source as a backup is disclosed. The secondary coolant refrigeration system has a pump for pumping secondary coolant fluid through a secondary coolant fluid loop. The system includes a variable frequency drive for controlling the speed of the pump. The variable frequency drive includes drive circuitry configured to provide variable frequency power to the pump via an output interface. The variable frequency drive also includes a first interface configured to receive power from the photovoltaic source and a second interface configured to receive power from the AC source. The variable frequency drive further includes a circuit configured to switch between providing power to the drive circuitry from the first interface and providing power to the drive circuitry from the second interface. The circuit is further configured to cause the variable speed drive to be powered by the photovoltaic source when the power received from the first interface is adequate and by the AC source when the power received from the first interface is not adequate.

    摘要: A refrigeration system includes a primary loop that cools a secondary loop that circulates a coolant through a refrigeration load. The secondary loop includes a suction header to receive the coolant from the load, and a discharge header to direct the coolant to the heat exchanger, and a pump to pump the coolant from the suction to the discharge header. A charging loop maintains a pressure of the coolant in the supply header within a predetermined range, and includes an inlet from the discharge header and an outlet to the suction header. A flow nozzle and a valve are located between the inlet and the outlet, and a reservoir of make-up coolant communicates with the flow nozzle. Upon a low pressure condition in the suction header, the valve opens to permit flow of coolant through the flow nozzle to draw in make-up coolant from the reservoir.

    摘要: A refrigeration system with a multi-function heat exchanger has a first heat exchanger with an internal partition defining a condenser, a subcooler and an evaporator. An expansion device is located external of the heat exchanger and receives condensed refrigerant from the subcooler and provides expanded refrigerant to the evaporator. A compressor circulates the refrigerant through the condenser, the subcooler, and the evaporator. A secondary coolant circulates through the subcooler, the evaporator and the loads. A control system receives refrigerant temperature and pressure signals, and provides a control signal to the expansion device to maintain a temperature of the refrigerant within a predetermined range. A second heat exchanger cools a condensing fluid circulating through the condenser to condense the refrigerant.
