AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

These systems effectively decrease refrigerant discharge temperatures, increase cooling capacity, and improve compressor efficiency by absorbing heat generated during compression, potentially eliminating the need for additional cooling components and simplifying system design.

Problems solved by technology

During the compression of the refrigerant within the compressor, a significant quantity of heat can be generated, which may result in the temperature of the discharged refrigerant being relatively high.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, application, or uses. It should be understood that throughout the drawings, corresponding reference numerals (e.g., 20, 120, 220, 320 and 30, 130, 230, 330, etc.) indicate like or corresponding parts and features.

[0024]Referring to FIG. 1, a refrigeration system 20 according to the present teachings is shown. Refrigeration system 20 is a vapor-compression refrigeration system that may be configured for a trans-critical refrigeration cycle wherein the refrigerant is at a pressure above its critical pressure during a part of the cycle, thus being in the gaseous form regardless of the temperature, and is below its critical pressure in the other parts of the cycle, thereby enabling the refrigerant to be in vapor or liquid form. The refrigerant can be carbon dioxide (CO2) and other refrigerants. The system may also be used at non-trans-critical operating conditions.

Abstract

A refrigeration system can incorporate a cooling-liquid injection system that can inject a cooling liquid into an intermediate-pressure location of the compressor. The cooling liquid can absorb the heat of compression during the compression of the refrigerant flowing therethrough. The refrigeration system can include an economizer system that injects a refrigerant vapor into an intermediate-pressure location of the compressor in conjunction with the injection of the cooling liquid. A refrigeration system can include a liquid-refrigerant injection system that can inject liquid refrigerant into an intermediate-pressure location of the compressor. The injected liquid refrigerant can reduce the discharge temperature of the refrigerant. The liquid-refrigerant injection system can be used with the cooling-liquid injection system and / or the economizer system.
