Definitions

  • the subject matter disclosed herein relates to a refrigeration system.
  • Compressors are commonly employed to circulate a refrigerant through a refrigeration cycle in a cooling system.
  • a refrigeration system commonly known as a chiller.
  • the typical chiller also includes a condenser, an evaporator or cooler, and in some applications an oil-refrigerant separator. These components are connected to each other by tubing that circulates the refrigerant through the system.
  • the evaporator typically includes a plurality of tubes that circulate water, which is cooled by an evaporating refrigerant, and the cooled water is circulated in a closed loop to another heat exchanger or cooling coil. At the cooling coil, circulating building or process air is directed through the cooling coil by a fan so that heat is removed from the circulating air.
  • a refrigerant may contain residual atomized liquid particles (carryover) at the end of a heat exchange stage (mostly due to low superheating of the vapor and high vapor exit velocities), which may damage components downstream of the heat exchanger or result in operational issues.
  • some known systems have poor versatility in response to changes in the fluid temperature and flowrate requirements downstream. Accordingly it is desirable to provide a system that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • US 2010/0132927 A1 discloses a "flooded" type evaporator for the use in a refrigeration system.
  • the evaporator is fluidly coupled between the condenser and the compressor and is provided with a superheating unit.
  • the superheating unit is disposed within the evaporator and fluidly coupled between the condenser and the evaporator.
  • a refrigeration system comprising: a compressor; a condenser fluidly coupled to the compressor; an evaporator having an inlet and an outlet, the evaporator fluidly coupled between the condenser and the compressor; a liquid suction heat exchanger fluidly coupled between the condenser and the evaporator, the liquid suction heat exchanger disposed within the evaporator for heat exchange between liquid refrigerant from the condenser and refrigerant vapor in the evaporator; a superheat sensor disposed in the evaporator outlet; and an expansion valve disposed between the liquid suction heat exchanger and the evaporator, wherein the expansion valve is operably coupled to the superheat sensor.
  • a refrigeration system according to the invention is defined by claim 1.
  • a method of increasing suction superheat in a refrigeration system having a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a liquid suction heat exchanger disposed in the evaporator, the method comprising: supplying liquid refrigerant from the condenser to the liquid suction heat exchanger; cooling the liquid refrigerant in the liquid suction heat exchanger against refrigerant vapor in the evaporator; supplying the cooled liquid refrigerant to the evaporator; vaporizing and superheating the cooled liquid refrigerant into the refrigerant vapor; increasing the superheat of the refrigerant vapor through heat exchange with the liquid refrigerant in the liquid suction heat exchanger; and supplying the refrigerant vapor to the compressor; further comprising measuring the superheat temperature differential relative to the saturation temperature of the refrigerant vapor passing through an outlet of the evaporator; and controlling an expansion valve based on the measured superheat, the expansion valve disposed between
  • an evaporator or chiller that includes a liquid suction heat exchanger installed inside the evaporator.
  • the liquid suction heat exchanger increases suction superheat, by transferring heat form the liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser to the refrigerant gas existing in the evaporator heat exchanger, thereby increasing system efficiency and capacity.
  • Transferring heat from the refrigerant gas leaving the evaporator to the liquid refrigerant is a cycle enhancement that is used to improve the performance of a refrigeration system as well as add additional superheat to the suction gas to enable better control of refrigerant flow control devices (e.g., expansion valves).
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary refrigeration system 10 that generally includes a compressor 12, an oil separator 14, a condenser 16, a liquid suction heat exchanger 18, an expansion valve 20, and an evaporator 22.
  • compressor 12 is a screw compressor and evaporator 22 is a flooded-type evaporator.
  • compressor 12 may be any suitable type of compressor (e.g., centrifugal), and evaporator 22 may be any suitable evaporator that enables system 10 to function as described herein.
  • system 10 may not require oil separator 14.
  • Refrigeration system 10 is a closed loop system through which refrigerant is circulated in various states such as liquid and vapor. As such, a low temperature, low pressure superheated gas refrigerant is drawn into compressor 12 through a conduit 24 from evaporator 22. The refrigerant is compressed and the resulting high temperature, high pressure superheated gas is discharged from compressor 12 to condenser 16 through a conduit 26. Oil separator 14 is positioned on line 26 between compressor 12 and condenser 16 and separates compressor lubricant from the refrigerant before delivering the refrigerant to condenser 16.
  • condenser 16 gaseous refrigerant is condensed into liquid as it gives up heat.
  • the superheated gas refrigerant enters condenser 16 and is de-superheated, condensed, and sub-cooled through a heat exchanger process with, for example, water flowing through condenser 16 to absorb heat.
  • condenser 16 may be air cooled or evaporatively cooled.
  • the liquid refrigerant is discharged from condenser 16 and supplied through a conduit 28 to liquid suction heat exchanger 18.
  • liquid suction heat exchanger 18 is a finned tube coil positioned within evaporator 22.
  • heat exchanger 18 may be any suitable type of heat exchanger that enables system 10 to function as described herein.
  • a separate external casing to contain vapor refrigerant leaving the evaporator that is used with conventional liquid suction external heat exchangers is eliminated.
  • the liquid refrigerant is cooled in heat exchanger 18 against vaporized and/or vaporizing refrigerant in evaporator 22 and subsequently supplied to evaporator 22 through a conduit 30.
  • the cooled liquid refrigerant passes through a metering device or expansion valve 20, which converts the relatively higher temperature, high pressure sub-cooled liquid to a low temperature saturated liquid-vapor mixture.
  • the low temperature saturated liquid-vapor refrigerant mixture then enters evaporator 22 where it boils and changes states to a superheated gas as it absorbs the required heat of vaporization from chilled water (or other fluid) supplied through a tube bundle 32.
  • the low pressure superheated gas then passes in heat exchange relation with heat exchanger 18, where it is further heated to increase the superheat of the gas and vaporize any residual liquid droplets that may pass tube bundle 32.
  • the superheated gas is then drawn into the inlet of compressor 12 and the cycle is repeated.
  • the chilled water is then circulated through a distribution system (not shown) to cooling coils for providing air conditioning, or for other purposes.
  • evaporator 22 includes a pressure vessel shell 34 having an inlet 36 and an outlet or suction nozzle 38.
  • Tube bundle 32 includes plurality of tubes 40 positioned for heat exchange with the refrigerant entering evaporator distribution system or inlet 36.
  • Liquid suction heat exchanger 18 is located inside pressure vessel 34 above tube bundle 32 such as by brackets 42. However, heat exchanger 18 may be secured inside pressure vessel 34 by any suitable means (e.g., a fixing system). Heat exchanger 18 may be oriented in any suitable position relative to tube bundle 32 so that all or a part of the suction gas passing bundle 32 passes over heat exchanger 18. For example, heat exchanger 18 may be angled relative to tube bundle 32.
  • liquid suction heat exchanger 18 may comprise one or more distinct heat exchangers.
  • Heat exchanger 18 includes at least one finned tube configured to receive liquid refrigerant from condenser 16 for heat exchange with the refrigerant vapor passing from tube bundle 32 to evaporator outlet 38.
  • other heat exchanger configurations may be used.
  • a temperature sensor 44 e.g., a superheat sensor
  • a temperature sensor 44 may be positioned within suction nozzle 38 to measure the suction gas temperature, which may then be used to calculate superheat above the saturation temperature of the refrigerant, which may be measured with a pressure or temperature sensor located in system 10. Such measurements may be used to control expansion valve 20.
  • system 10 may subsequently eliminate the need for expensive liquid level sensors or complicated software or algorithms, and simple suction superheat control may be used.
  • Heat exchanger 18 can also vaporize any residual liquid refrigerant that is drawn past tube bundle 32, which then allows for better use of heat transfer surfaces of bundle 32.
  • a method of increasing suction superheat in refrigeration system 10 includes supplying liquid refrigerant from condenser 16 to liquid suction heat exchanger 18, cooling the liquid refrigerant in liquid suction heat exchanger 18 against refrigerant vapor in evaporator 22, and supplying the cooled liquid refrigerant to evaporator 22.
  • the cooled liquid refrigerant is subsequently vaporized into the refrigerant vapor, and the superheat of the refrigerant vapor is increased through heat exchange with the liquid refrigerant in liquid suction heat exchanger 18.
  • the refrigerant vapor is then supplied to compressor 12.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates another exemplary embodiment of evaporator 22, which includes a pressure vessel 134 having an inlet 136 and an outlet or suction nozzle 138.
  • a tube bundle 132 includes a plurality of tubes 140 fluidly coupled to a fluid inlet 141 (e.g., water inlet) and fluid outlet 143 and positioned for heat exchange with refrigerant entering evaporator inlet 136.
  • a fluid inlet 141 e.g., water inlet
  • a liquid suction heat exchanger 118 is located inside pressure vessel 134 above tube bundle 132 such as by brackets (now shown).
  • Heat exchanger 118 generally includes an inlet 146, an outlet 148, and a plurality of finned tubes 150 fluidly coupled between headers 152 and 154.
  • Heat exchanger 118 may be oriented in any suitable position relative to tube bundle 132.
  • heat exchanger 118 may be angled relative to tube bundle 132.
  • liquid suction heat exchanger 118 may comprise one or more distinct heat exchangers.
  • system 10 improves the overall refrigerant cycle capacity, efficiency, and reliability of compressor 12.
  • System 10 also improves the ability to separate oil from the refrigerant gas leaving the compressor in systems having oil separator. Locating the liquid suction heat exchanger inside the evaporator effectively uses the space within evaporator 22 and eliminates the need for a separate pressure vessel to contain the liquid suction heat exchanger.
  • system 10 provides a flooded evaporator 22 in a system with reciprocating, screw, centrifugal, or scroll compressors, and provides an evaporator 22 that is efficient and effective in use.
  • System 10 also increases compressor discharge superheat, which results in better oil separation efficiency and higher viscosities which are needed for proper lubrication of the compressor. Cycle efficiency and capacity is improved, and system 10 has lower liquid entrainment and better performance of the cooler as well as increased life of the compressor.
  • the described refrigeration system adds a liquid suction heat exchanger to transfer heat from the suction gas to the liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser to improve the efficiency of the chiller.
  • the added cooling to the liquid refrigerant improves the subcooling of the refrigerant, which improves the overall refrigerant efficiency.
  • the added heat to the suction gas results in some superheating of the suction gas, which protects the compressor from liquid carryover.
  • the added superheat to the suction gas also enables better control of the expansion valve that is used to regulate the refrigerant flow to the evaporator and can be done with a low cost suction superheat temperature sensor.
  • the systems and method described herein provide a liquid suction heat exchanger located within a chiller above its tube bundle.
  • Liquid refrigerant from the condenser is routed through the liquid suction heat exchanger to exchange heat between the liquid refrigerant the suction refrigerant vapor.
  • the warm liquid refrigerant from the condenser is further cooled by the suction vapor, which increases the liquid subcooling and the performance of the cycle.
  • the suction gas is warmed by the liquid, resulting in increased suction superheat elimination of liquid carryover and performance of the oil separator.
  • the evaporator and liquid suction heat exchanger assembly increases system performance with refrigerants such as, for example, low GWP refrigerants.
