A closed loop vapor compression refrigeration system wherein the control range of a control parameter for controlling the flow of the refrigerant through the evaporator coil is automatically adjusted as the operating conditions change is disclosed. A control parameter for controlling the refrigerant flow through the evaporator and a dynamic control range for the control parameter are defined. The control range is made a function of certain system parameters. A nonlinear flow control response function associated with the control parameter is selected. During operation, the control range is automatically adjusted as the values of the selected system parameters change. The flow through a flow control device, such as an expansion valve, coupled to the evaporator, is adjusted according to the flow control response function as the value of the control parameter changes.

The expansion valve 103 of the refrigerating machine is controlled by the difference between the pressure in a bulb 104 containing a fixed amount of fluid and the pressure in the evaporator 2. The bulb is mounted in the discharge pipe 1 of the evaporator and is heated by a resistor. In the absence of droplets of liquid refrigerant in the flow through the discharge pipe, i.e when the refrigerant flow rate tends to become too low with respect to the cold demand, the resistor heats up the fluid in the bulb, the pressure in the bulb increases and moves the expansion valve to a more opened position. As soon as droplets hit the bulb in the discharge pipe, said droplets cool down the bulb despite the heating effect of the resistor and the expansion valve is moved to a more closed position. Thus, the flow rate control uses variations in heat transfer coefficients in the discharge pipe rather than superheat temperature in the discharge pipe. The evaporator may be small-sized because it does not have to produce superheat.

A condenser (2), an electronic expansion valve (5), an evaporator (6), and a motorized suction throttle valve (8) are connected in series with a compressor. When a capacity is increased, the electronic expansion valve (5) is controlled to be in a throttling direction and the motorized suction throttle valve (8) is controlled to be in an unthrottling direction in association with the control of the electronic expansion valve (5), and when a capacity is decreased, the electronic expansion valve (5) is controlled to be in an unthrottling direction and the motorized suction throttle valve (8) is controlled to be in a throttling direction in association with the control of the electronic expansion valve (5). While a capacity control of a compressor by a throttle control is been carried out, such associated control is made between the electronic expansion valve (5) and the motorized suction throttle valve (8), realizing a fine temperature control in a refrigerating machine without hunting.

A refrigeration circuit including a compressor, a condenser, a control device, an evaporator and an accumulator is disclosed. The elements are serially arranged with the control device located between the outlet of the condenser and the inlet of the evaporator. The control device includes a tubular casing having three spaced walls on its interior surface. The first wall includes a plurality of holes and has a bellows attached to the interior surface thereof, the second wall has a longitudinal bore and a parallel bypass hole therethrough, and the third wall includes an orifice. An operating valve is mounted on the opposite end of the bellows. The bellows expands and contracts in accordance with the temperature of refrigerant fluid and the outlet side of the condenser, thereby, moving the operating valve to the left or the right. Movement of the operating valve controls the open cross-sectional area of the longitudinal bore so that the flow volume of refrigerant fluid in the circuit may be controlled.

A flood detection means for use with a solenoid expansion valve in a refrigeration system is disclosed. The flood detection means responds to the temperature differential across the evaporator coil for throttling down the flow rate through the expansion valve when the temperature differential is less than a temperature threshold. When the temperature differential is greater than the threshold, the valve resumes normal operations from the throttled down condition.
摘要:
Refrigerant flows from the compressor and condenser to the evaporator by a thermostatic expansion valve having its pressure and temperature sensing points in the suction line downstream of the evaporator outlet control valve which regulates the evaporator pressure relatively independently of the suction line conditions. When the compressor capacity significantly exceeds evaporator capacity this system provides additional compressor cooling at low suction pressures. The expansion valve may be the bulbless type or the externally equalized type. The outlet control valve may respond to refrigerant temperature at the coil outlet, or to fin temperature, or may be an evaporator pressure regulator valve.

摘要:
Several control algorithms reduce the likelihood of insufficient oil return to the compressor. One algorithm is useful in a multi-circuit refrigerant system. A control reduces the cooling capacity of one of the circuits if the number of compressor start/stop cycles becomes excessive. By reducing the capacity, the control will reduce the number of compressor start/stop cycles for a circuit. In this manner, the oil continues to circulate through the circuit, and is more efficiently returned to the compressor. Another problem area associated with a poor oil return back to the compressor is when there is low mass flow rate of refrigerant circulating through the system. Various ways of increasing the refrigerant mass flow rate are disclosed to ensure proper oil return to the compressor. Also, if oil return problems are likely due to an undesirably high oil viscosity at the vapor portion of the evaporator or suction line, then steps are taken to reduce oil viscosity. Overall, the present invention discloses three distinct algorithms that may be utilized, either separately or in combination, to ensure better flow of oil back to the compressor. The invention enhances system and compressor reliability and performance as well as prevents the compressor damage.
