[0032] In the embodiments of the present application, a compressor reliability test method for refrigeration equipment is provided, please refer to Figs. 1-3 shown.

[0033] A compressor reliability test method for refrigeration equipment, comprising the following steps:

[0034] Step 1, actual operation condition test of refrigeration equipment

[0035] The refrigeration equipment in the embodiment is a refrigerator. The refrigeration equipment is started and run according to an actual operation condition, and a plurality of groups of suction pressure and discharge pressure in the running process of the compressor of the refrigeration equipment are collected. The actual operation condition is mainly determined according to the type of the refrigeration equipment, power supply, standard climate type, running characteristic temperature, temperature grade of the refrigeration appliance and test environment type. The set range of the test environment type contains -20℃ to 48℃, and the specific set temperature points are not less than 4. At least one complete defrosting control cycle is contained in the running process of the compressor of the refrigeration equipment.

[0036] In step 1, electrical parameters (voltage, current and power, etc.) and temperature parameters (in-box temperature of the refrigeration equipment) in the running process of the compressor of the refrigeration equipment are also collected, so as to judge whether the running of the compressor of the refrigeration equipment is normal or not. When the running of the compressor of the refrigeration equipment is normal, the collected plurality of groups of suction pressure and discharge pressure data are valid.

[0037] Step 2, determination of the worst working condition point of the compressor

[0038] The pressure working condition running graph of the compressor is drawn according to the plurality of groups of suction pressure and discharge pressure, as shown in FIG. 1. Fig. 2 The worst working condition point of the compressor is determined according to the pressure working condition running graph. The worst working condition point of the compressor is the value of the area circled by the square in the graph. The suction pressure value, discharge pressure value, shell temperature value and environment temperature value of the compressor corresponding to the worst working condition point are taken as the test conditions of the reliability test in step 5. In the embodiment, the suction pressure value of the compressor corresponding to the worst working condition point is about 0.43MP a , the discharge pressure value is about 2.45MP a , the shell temperature value is about 85℃, and the environment temperature value is about 43℃. Both the suction pressure and the discharge pressure are absolute pressure.

[0039] Step 3, building of the reliability test system of the compressor

[0040] The discharge end of the compressor 1 is connected to the condenser 3 through the first pipeline 21, the condenser 3 is connected to the evaporator 4 through the second pipeline 22, the evaporator 4 is connected to the suction end of the compressor 1 through the third pipeline 23, the discharge pressure gauge 51 is connected to the discharge end of the compressor 1, the suction pressure gauge 52 is connected to the suction end of the compressor 1, and the start-stop control end of the compressor 1 is connected to the controller (computer) through the signal cable. The condenser and the evaporator adopt the coil pipe mode.

[0041] In step 3, the exhaust end of the compressor 1 is also connected to the condenser 3 through the fourth pipeline 24, and the fourth pipeline 24 is provided with an oil-gas separator 6 and a first valve 71, and the first pipeline 21 is provided with a second valve 72. The exhaust end of the oil-gas separator 6 is sequentially connected with a third valve 73 and a first throttling unit 81, and the first throttling unit 81 in the embodiment is a capillary tube. When the third valve 73 is opened, the separated refrigerant oil is discharged through the first throttling unit 81, and the oil amount of the refrigerant oil discharged from the oil-gas separator 6 is adjusted through the first throttling unit 81.

[0042] In step 3, the second pipeline 22 is connected with a second throttling unit 82, and the second throttling unit 82 in the embodiment is a capillary tube. The gas pressure before entering the evaporator 4 is reduced through the second throttling unit 82.

[0043] In step 3, the second pipeline 22 is connected with a drying filter 9, and the gas is dried and filtered through the drying filter 9.

[0044] Step 4, mode selection

[0045] The compressor reliability test system is switched to the normal test mode or the limit test mode;

[0046] Normal test mode:

[0047] The first valve 71 is closed, and the second valve 72 is opened. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas at the exhaust end of the compressor 1 does not pass through the oil-gas separator 6, but directly enters the condenser 3. The circulation process from the condenser 3 to the suction end of the compressor 1 is the same as that in the limit test mode, and will not be described here.

[0048] Limit test mode:

[0049] The first valve 71 is opened, and the second valve 72 is closed. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas at the exhaust end of the compressor 1 first passes through the oil-gas separator 6 and then enters the condenser 3. The refrigerant oil separated from the oil-gas separator 6 is discharged through the third valve 73 and the first throttling unit 81, and does not enter the compressor reliability test system. The gas passing through the oil-gas separator 6 passes through the condenser 3 and the drying filter 9, and then flows through the second throttling unit 82 for pressure reduction. Finally, the gas passes through the evaporator 4 to further reduce the gas pressure, so that the suction pressure reaches the corresponding control requirement. In the limit test mode, the compressor 1 can be operated in an extreme working condition, which is used to simulate the reliability test that the refrigerant oil return is not timely during the operation of the compressor 1, resulting in insufficient oil supply capacity of the crankshaft of the compressor 1.

[0050] Step 5, reliability test

[0051] At the environment temperature corresponding to the most severe working condition point about 43℃, the starting duration and stopping time of the compressor are controlled by the controller, so that the value of the suction pressure gauge 52, the value of the discharge pressure gauge 51 and the shell temperature value reach the suction pressure value of the compressor about 0.43MPa a , the discharge pressure value about 2.45MPa a and the shell temperature value about 85℃ corresponding to the most severe working condition point, and the service life of the compressor 1 is tested.

[0052] So far, the present embodiment has been described in detail in combination with the drawings. According to the above description, those skilled in the art should have a clear understanding of the reliability test method of the compressor for refrigeration equipment of the present application. The reliability test method of the compressor for refrigeration equipment of the present application collects the most severe working condition point of the compressor according to the actual operation condition of the refrigeration equipment, builds a compressor reliability test system to test the reliability of the compressor, and the test result is more accurate and has universality. On this basis, an oil-gas separator is arranged on the compressor reliability test system, so that the compressor reliability test system can run in ordinary test mode and extreme test mode respectively. In the extreme test mode, the compressor can run in extreme condition, which is used for simulating the reliability test that the refrigeration oil is not returned in time during the operation of the compressor, resulting in insufficient oil supply capacity of the crankshaft of the compressor, so as to identify the weak point of the compressor design as soon as possible.

[0053] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present application. It should be understood that the above description is only for specific embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
