    摘要: In an air conditioning system including a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator, a process includes the steps of feeding discharged refrigerant from the compressor to the condenser so as to provide a condensed refrigerant flow; splitting the condensed refrigerant flow into a main flow and an auxiliary flow wherein the auxiliary flow includes between about 8 and about 12% wt. of total mass flow rate of the condensed refrigerant flow; reducing temperature and pressure of the auxiliary flow so as to provide an economizer flow; passing the economizer flow and the main flow through a heat exchanger so as to provide a sub-cooled main flow and an economizer discharge flow; feeding the economizer discharge flow to the compressor; and feeding the sub-cooled main flow through the evaporator to the compressor. The system and process in accordance with the present invention advantageously allow for parameter optimization, circuit combination, and performance improvement through integration of economized and non-economized circuits.

    摘要: A refrigerant system is operable in either heating mode or cooling mode. The system is also provided with an economizer cycle that will function in either heating mode or cooling mode. A four-way valve assembly selectively communicates refrigerant from either an indoor heat exchanger or outdoor heat exchanger to an economizer heat exchanger. The valve assembly further includes a restriction for restricting a refrigerant flow downstream of the economizer heat exchanger. The valve assembly provides two distinct restrictions such that a different size restriction is presented to the flow in cooling and heating modes. In this way, a single valve assembly can provide both the required routing for the alternative heating and cooling modes, and at the same time allow for distinct restriction sizes for the two modes without the necessity of separate expansion devices, also improving overall system cost and reliability.

    摘要: A refrigerant system is provided with a variable speed drive for at least one of its fluid-moving devices, wherein the variable speed drive is provided by an automated mechanical drive. In the disclosed embodiment, one of the pulleys for driving the fluid-moving device has a variable diameter to vary the speed at which the fluid-moving device is driven. The pulley may include two plates that are biased in one direction by a spring or permanent magnet force, and in an opposed direction by a hydraulic or electro-magnetic force. A control adjusts the amount of hydraulic or electro-magnetic force delivered to the plates to achieve a desired speed for the fluid-moving device.

    摘要: Refrigerant is circulated through a vapor compression system including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator. Cold condensate forms on the evaporator surfaces as the refrigerant accepts heat from an air stream. The cold condensate drips down from the evaporator coil and collects in a condensate pan. In one example, the cold condensate is directed into a condensate heat exchanger to subcool the refrigerant exiting the condenser. In another example, the refrigerant exiting the condenser flows through a refrigerant line located in the condensate pan. In another example, the cold condensate is sprayed on the refrigerant line exiting the condenser or on the subcooling portion of the condenser. By utilizing the condensate for further subcooling of the refrigerant, system capacity and efficiency are enhanced. Various control techniques and condensate flow methods are also disclosed.

    摘要: A refrigerant cycle is provided with an economizer circuit. The amount of refrigerant passing through the economizer circuit can be gradually modulated by an expansion device whose position can be easily adjusted from fully open to fully closed or disengaged. In the past, economizer circuits have either been fully engaged or fully disengaged. Modulation of economizer flow allows for variable capacity operation. This improves unit operating efficiency, minimizes unit cycling and prevents compressor overloading at extreme of operating conditions. It also allows for head pressure and discharge temperature control.

    摘要: A refrigerant system is operable in either a heating mode or cooling mode. The system is also provided with an economizer cycle that will function in either heating mode or cooling mode. A pair of economizer heat exchangers are positioned adjacent to an air conditioning economizer expansion device, and a heat pump economizer expansion device, respectively. A control for the system will control the opening either the air conditioning economizer expansion device or the heat pump economizer expansion device, dependent on whether economized operation is desired, and whether the system is in cooling or heating mode. Thus, a pair of heat exchangers are utilized, with one being selected for economizer operation dependent on whether the system is in cooling or heating mode.
