Embodiment Construction

[0048] figure 1 is a simplified diagram of a vapor compression system 1 controlled using a method according to a first embodiment of the invention. A vapor compression system 1 comprises a compressor unit comprising a plurality of compressors 2 (two of which are shown) arranged in a refrigerant path, a heat rejection heat exchanger 3, a high pressure expansion device 4, a receiving 5, an evaporator expansion device 6 in the form of an expansion valve, an evaporator 7, a gas bypass valve 8, and a suction line receiver 9.

[0049] The refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant path is compressed by the compressor 2 before being supplied to the heat rejection heat exchanger 3 . In the heat rejection heat exchanger 3, heat exchange takes place with the auxiliary fluid flow flowing through the heat rejection heat exchanger 3 by removing heat from the refrigerant. In case the heat rejection heat exchanger 3 is in the form of a condenser, the refrigerant passing through the heat reject...

Abstract

A method for controlling a vapor compression system (1) is disclosed. Based on one or more pressure sensors (10, 12, 13) for measuring refrigerant pressure at selected locations along the refrigerant path and one or more pressure sensors (10, 12, 13) for measuring refrigerant temperature at selected locations along the refrigerant path or a plurality of temperature sensors (11, 14) to estimate the mass flow of refrigerant along a portion of the refrigerant path. The refrigerant pressure or refrigerant temperature at selected locations along the refrigerant path of the pressure sensor (10, 12, 13) or temperature sensor (11, 14) is derived based on the estimated mass flow. Allowing the vapor compression system (1) to continue operating even if the sensors (10, 11, 12, 13, 14) are faulty or unreliable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling a vapor compression system, such as a refrigeration system, a heat pump or an air conditioning system, wherein the vapor compression system is allowed to keep running in the event of a sensor measuring a control parameter failing. Background technique [0002] Vapor compression systems such as refrigeration systems, heat pumps or air conditioning systems are usually controlled in order to provide the required cooling or heating capacity in the most energy efficient way possible. To this end, a plurality of sensors, such as pressure sensors and temperature sensors, are arranged along the refrigerant path of the vapor compression system, and various components of the vapor compression system, such as valves, compressors, etc. are controlled based on the measurements performed by the sensors. [0003] If one of the sensors fails or is unreliable, the operation of the vapor compression system may become ene...
