TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to an airborne environmental control system with defrosting function and a defrosting method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The airborne environmental control system and the like generally utilize the tail gas residual energy of the aircraft with high temperature and pressure energy through conversion to realize the refrigeration or heating function. During the operation of the environmental control system, the engine tail gas is gradually cooled in the heat exchanger, and the water vapor in the gas will gradually condense and freeze into ice in the heat exchanger.
[0003] The current common airborne environmental control system process utilizing high-pressure tail gas residual energy is generally a high-pressure water removal system. Due to the low efficiency of the high-pressure water removal of the environmental control system, when it is rainy or the air is relatively humid, the water vapor contained in the tail gas is relatively large, and after condensation, it cannot be completely removed in the high-pressure water separator, and a large amount of water will enter the expansion refrigeration system. In addition, due to the high circulating condensation temperature of the high-pressure water removal, when the air is relatively dry, the water in the air cannot be removed, and the air entering the expansion refrigeration system is saturated wet air with high moisture content. After the expansion of the gas in the expansion refrigeration system, the temperature of the gas is greatly reduced, and a large amount of water is precipitated and frozen into ice at the outlet of the expansion refrigeration system, which is accumulated in the heat exchanger and causes ice blocking. Due to the fact that the bleed air of the environmental control system usually contains a large amount of water, ice blocking will occur in a short time after the environmental control system is started. After the ice blocking of the environmental control system, a large amount of cold energy is lost, which causes the performance of the entire environmental control system to be greatly reduced or unable to be normally used in a short time, which will cause the temperature in the cabin of the helicopter working in some extremely harsh environments for several hours or even longer to be unable to be neutralized by the heat generated by the high-power electronic equipment and the crew, causing the instruments in the cabin to overheat and be damaged or the crew to have symptoms such as heat stroke. Therefore, efficient utilization of the cold energy of the environmental control system and avoidance of ice blocking can ensure that the environmental control system can be normally operated in the started state.

[0039] When the onboard environmental control system with the defrosting function is running, the outlet pressure of the pressure- refrigeration integrated machine is monitored to determine whether ice blockage occurs in the environmental control system, and the quick defrosting mode or the regular defrosting mode can be switched according to the pressure change speed.
[0040] When the air humidity is relatively small, the outlet pressure of the pressure- refrigeration integrated machine can be kept stable or gently increased for a period of time, and the regular defrosting mode is started.
[0041] When the air humidity is relatively large, the outlet pressure of the pressure- refrigeration integrated machine changes sharply in a short time, and the quick defrosting mode is started.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the regular defrosting mode includes a condensation-reheating heat exchanger defrosting stage and an auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger defrosting stage, and the quick defrosting mode includes a condensation-reheating heat exchanger defrosting stage and an auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger defrosting stage.
[0043] Specifically,
[0044] (1) when the system is in the condensation-reheating heat exchanger defrosting stage in the regular defrosting mode:
[0045] Referring to Figure 2, the first reversing valve 1 closes the condensing-recovering heat exchanger side pipeline, opens the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger side pipeline and the defrosting side pipeline, and most of the gas flow preliminarily cooled by the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler enters the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger for heat exchange, and part of the gas flow enters the third reversing valve 3 for condensing-recovering heat exchanger defrosting. The gas flow entering the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger enters the main pipeline through the second reversing valve 2, and the main gas flow flow path is as shown in Figure 2 . At this time, the second reversing valve 2 closes the condensing-recovering heat exchanger side pipeline, opens the pipeline between the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger and the high-pressure water separator side, and the gas flow passing through the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger enters the high-pressure water separator through the second reversing valve 2.
[0046] Referring to Figure 4 , the defrosting gas flow enters the third reversing valve 3 through the first reversing valve 1, and the third reversing valve 3 sends the defrosting gas flow into the condensing-recovering heat exchanger and the inlet pipeline for condensing-recovering heat exchanger defrosting. At the same time, referring to Figure 2 , the pipeline between the booster-refrigeration integrated machine outlet and the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger is opened, the booster-refrigeration integrated machine outlet gas flow enters the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger through the third reversing valve 3 for heat exchange, and the gas flow entering the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger is discharged from the system through the fifth reversing valve 5.
[0047] The defrosting gas flow enters the condensing-recovering heat exchanger through the frost accumulation pipeline. Because the defrosting gas flow has a high temperature, the frost layer at the pipeline and the heat exchanger inlet can be completely melted in a short time. Referring to Figure 4 , after the defrosting gas flow exchanges heat with the frost layer, it enters the pressure reducing valve after passing through the fifth reversing valve 5, mixes with the gas sent by the booster fan into the cold end of the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler, and then enters the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler to cool the gas. Because the defrosting gas flow carries more water droplets into the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler, it can better cool the hot fluid in the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler, improve the efficiency of the heat exchanger, reduce the outlet temperature of the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler, and thus improve the overall efficiency and energy utilization rate of the system.
[0048] When the condensing-recovering heat exchanger defrosting stage in the conventional defrosting mode is completed, the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger defrosting stage is switched to:
[0049] After the gas flow passes through the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler, the first reversing valve 1 closes the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger valve, the main gas flow enters the condensing-recovering heat exchanger for heat exchange, and the main pipeline returns to the initial operating state, as shown in Figure 3 . At the same time, referring to Figure 5 , the defrosting gas flow enters the third reversing valve 3 through the first reversing valve 1, enters the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger and the pipeline through the third reversing valve 3 for defrosting treatment, and the defrosting gas flow entering the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger completes defrosting and then enters the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler after mixing with the gas sent by the booster fan through the pressure reducing valve and the fifth reversing valve 5.
[0050] In the process of operation of the environmental control system, the condensing-recovering heat exchanger defrosting stage and the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger defrosting stage in the conventional defrosting mode are alternately operated to ensure the normal operation of the environmental control system.
[0051] (2) In the condensing-recovering heat exchanger defrosting stage in the fast defrosting mode:
[0052] Referring to Figure 2 , the first reversing valve 1 is opened, and the gas stream preliminarily cooled by the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler enters the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger for heat exchange. After the heat exchange in the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger, the gas stream enters the second reversing valve 2, and then enters the booster-refrigeration integrated machine through the high-pressure water separator. The gas at the outlet of the booster-refrigeration integrated machine enters the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger through the third reversing valve 3 for heat exchange, and then is discharged from the system through the fifth reversing valve 5 to supply air.
[0053] Referring to Figure 6 , the fourth reversing valve 4 is opened, and the part of the gas stream before the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler as the defrosting gas stream enters the condensing-recovering heat exchanger through the third reversing valve 3 for condensing-recovering heat exchanger defrosting. The defrosting gas stream enters the condensing-recovering heat exchanger through the third reversing valve 3 and the frost accumulation pipeline. Since the gas stream is not cooled by the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler in the fast defrosting mode, the frost layer at the inlet of the pipeline and the heat exchanger can be completely melted in a very short time with a very small flow rate.
[0054] After the defrosting gas stream exchanges heat with the frost layer and the temperature is reduced, the defrosting gas stream enters the pressure reducing valve through the fifth reversing valve 5, is mixed with the gas sent into the cold end of the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler by the booster fan, and then enters the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler to cool the gas.
[0055] When the condensing-recovering heat exchanger defrosting stage in the fast defrosting mode is completed, the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger defrosting stage is switched to:
[0056] Referring to Figure 3 , after the gas stream passes through the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler, the first reversing valve 1 closes the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger valve, and the main gas stream enters the condensing-recovering heat exchanger for heat exchange. At the same time, referring to Figure 7 , the defrosting gas passes through the fourth reversing valve 4, enters the third reversing valve 3, and then enters the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger and the pipeline for defrosting treatment. After the defrosting gas stream entering the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger is defrosted, the defrosting gas stream enters the high-temperature high-pressure gas cooler through the fifth reversing valve 5, the pressure reducing valve and the booster fan.
[0057] In the process of operation of the environmental control system, the condensing-recovering heat exchanger defrosting and the auxiliary defrosting heat exchanger defrosting in the fast defrosting mode are alternately operated to ensure the normal operation of the environmental control system.
[0058] The airborne environmental control system with defrosting function can ensure full utilization of cold energy of the environmental control system through cooperation and switching between the heat exchanger and the defrosting airflow; through switching between the valves, the flow direction and distribution of the high-temperature airflow in the control system are controlled, part of the high-temperature airflow is used as the defrosting airflow to melt the condensed frost in the environmental control system and then is used to cool the main airflow, cold energy is maximally utilized, and the system efficiency is improved; the working state of the heat exchanger is controlled through switching of the main airflow flow path, the heat exchanger is switched to operate before ice blockage occurs to affect the operation of the environmental control system, the uninterrupted operation of the environmental control system can be ensured, and the environmental control system cannot work normally due to frost formation is avoided.
[0059] The above merely describes the embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the protection scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent flow transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related system fields, are also included in the protection scope of the present application.
