Definitions

  • the invention relates to a compound (refrigeration) system, comprising a plurality of compressors arranged on two or more levels, wherein the compressors arranged on a plane are connected to each other via an oil equalization line document US-A-3,500,962 discloses such a system.
  • the invention relates to a method for operating such a composite (refrigeration) system.
  • composite (cold) plant is to be understood as a composite refrigeration plant as described below and compound systems that serve the compression of any media for other purposes.
  • German Patent Applications 198 23 524 and 198 23 525 disclose methods of oil equalization between compressors arranged on a plane. Problematic is an oil balance between several compressors whenever the compressors are arranged on two or more levels. An arrangement of several compressors on two or more levels is particularly advantageous or even necessary when a large number of compressors must be accommodated on a relatively small footprint. This is For example, in narrow engine rooms or in an outdoor installation, so if the compressor in a housing - possibly together with the one or more condensers - are arranged, the case.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a generic composite (refrigeration) system and a generic method for operating such a compound (refrigeration) system, dispensed with in or on the use of wear-prone and fault prone ⁇ laptreguliersysteme, the lubricating oil supply of all compressors designed more reliable and the manufacturing costs can be reduced.
  • FIG. 1 Shown in the figure are two compressor levels E1 and E2, which are hereinafter referred to only as “levels”.
  • level E1 and E2 Three compressors V1, V2 and V3 (level E1) and V4, V5 and V6 (level E2) are arranged.
  • the compressors of a composite (refrigeration) system can also be arranged in three, four or more levels.
  • any number of compressors can be provided per level.
  • different compressors can be used on the individual levels, only they should - if possible - be of the same type.
  • At least one container B1 or B2 is now provided per level E1 or E2.
  • These containers B1 and B2 are dimensioned such that they are able to accommodate at least the minimum oil filling quantity required per level E1 or E2.
  • the containers B1 and B2 are connected via the respective oil equalization lines 1 (and line section 3) and 2 with their associated compressors V1 to V3 and V4 to V6 their level.
  • the lines 1 and 2 preferably run centrally to the sight glasses of VerêtrV1, V2 and V3 or V4, V5 and V6.
  • the containers B1 and B2 are also advantageously located in the middle between the compressors V1, V2 and V3 or V4, V5 and V6 their level E1 or E2 arranged.
  • the puncture of the lines 3 and 2 in the container B1 and B2 is preferably carried out centrally to the sight glasses of the compressor V1, V2 and V3 or V4, V5 and V6. This ensures that the oil level in the containers B1 or B2 is approximately equal to the oil levels prevailing in the compressors V1, V2 and V3 or V4, V5 and V6.
  • a shut-off device a is to be provided between the oil equalizing line 1 of the lowest level E1 and the collecting container B1 assigned to this level E1; this will normally be designed as a shut-off valve, preferably as a solenoid valve.
  • the container B1 of the lowest level E1 via a pressure line 4 with the pressure side of the composite (cold) system shut off - usually realized by a shut-off b - connected.
  • the two containers B1 and B2 in turn are connected to one another via a connecting line 5.
  • the connecting line 5 may be formed lockable; not shown in the figure.
  • the connecting line 5 is in this case to be arranged on the container B2 of the upper level E2 such that the container B2 is emptied during the oil balance only up to the desired level in the upper level E2 oil level.
  • the composite (refrigeration) system according to the invention is further proposed that at least one of the containers via a suction line to the suction side of the composite (cold) system is connected shut off.
  • the suction line (s) must or must be able to be shut off, as different pressure levels in the compressor housings and the suction line can occur during operation.
  • the connection of the container B1 and / or B2 via suction lines 6 and 7 with the suction side of the composite (cold) plant serves the purpose of being able to degas the container or containers B1 and B2 can. This may be necessary if the composite (refrigeration) system according to the invention is operated, for example, at high ambient temperatures and there is evaporation of the refrigerant (mixtures) from the oil.
  • This evaporated refrigerant (mixture) can then be discharged via the suction lines 6 and 7 to the suction side, whereby a trouble oil balance between the compressor and individual levels can be ensured. It has been shown that at normal room temperatures, this degassing is usually not required.
  • the composite (refrigeration) plant according to the invention further education, the compressors V1, V2 and V3 or V4, V5 and V6 assigned to a level in each case an oil level regulation.
  • the compressors V1, V2 and V3 or V4, V5 and V6 assigned to a level in each case an oil level regulation.
  • all state-of-the-art oil level regulation systems can be used.
  • the connecting line 5 may be arranged on the container B2 of the upper level E2 such that the container B2 can only be emptied to the (minimum) oil level desired in the upper level E2. If the line connecting the container B1 and B2 5 is formed lockable, it must be open during the above-described method step.
  • the shut-off device a disposed between the oil equalizing pipe 1 and the tank B1 of the lower level E1 is closed again; Subsequently, one or more compressors V1, V2 and / or V3 of the lower level E1 are put into operation.
  • one or more compressors V4, V5 and / or V6 of the upper level E2 can also be put into operation.
  • shut-off device b arranged in the pressure line 4 now remains open until the possibly required oil equalization between the containers B1 and B2 or the planes E1 and E2 and the compressors V4, V5 and V6 has taken place.
  • the compressors V4, V5 and V6 of the upper level E2 preferably remain switched off, so that (even) between them a sufficient oil balance can take place. If there is too much oil in the upper level E2, it passes via the connecting line 5 again into the lower container B1 or to the lower level E1.
  • the above-described method of the invention is always realized when a lack of oil is detected by appropriate measures in at least one of the compressor V1, V2, ....
  • the monitoring of oil levels in the compressor can be done manually and / or automatically.
  • the introduction of an oil balance phase can also be carried out manually and / or automatically.
  • an oil balance is usually initiated at certain, adjustable intervals as a rule.
  • the operating times of the compressors V1, V2, .... until their shutdown are to be chosen so that the minimum allowable oil level within the compressor due to the inevitably occurring during compressor operation oil displacement is not exceeded.
  • the stoppage phases of the compressor must be timed so that a sufficient oil balance between the compressors can be guaranteed and a significant impairment of the refrigeration supply by the compressor of the composite (refrigeration) system according to the invention is avoided.
  • inventive composite (cold) plant and the inventive method for operating a composite (cold) plant provide over the prior art, significant improvements, since it can be dispensed with wear-prone and trouble-prone ⁇ laptreguliersysteme.
  • inventive composite (cold) systems are lowered and at the same time a reliable lubricating oil supply to all compressors of the composite (refrigeration) system according to the invention is ensured.
