[0002] At present, some supercritical refrigeration systems on the market are composed of a compressor, a cooler, an expansion valve and an evaporator to form a basic refrigerant circulation system.

The refrigerant is usually carbon dioxide, which is in a subcritical state at the low-pressure side of the compressor and in a supercritical state at the high-pressure side of the compressor.
[0003] In actual application, such a supercritical refrigeration system often causes the temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler to rise due to the temperature rise of the heat dissipation medium introduced by the cooler, thereby increasing the enthalpy value of the carbon dioxide inlet of the evaporator, weakening the refrigeration effect, and reducing the energy efficiency ratio of the refrigeration system. When the temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler rises to a certain value, the energy efficiency ratio of the refrigeration system will decrease to 1.0 or even below, causing the system to be unable to maintain stability and continue to operate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] EMBODIMENT
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a supercritical refrigeration system 100 provided for an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1.
[0038] The supercritical refrigeration system 100 provided by the embodiment comprises a carbon dioxide circulation pipeline 110 and a load medium pipeline 120, the carbon dioxide circulation pipeline 110 is sequentially provided with a compressor 111, a cooler 112, an expansion valve 113 and an evaporator 114, the compressor 111 is used for outputting supercritical state carbon dioxide, the cooler 112 is used for introducing heat dissipation medium to cool the carbon dioxide flowing therethrough, and the expansion valve 113 plays a role of throttling the carbon dioxide, so that the carbon dioxide flows to the evaporator 114 in a low-temperature and low-pressure state.
[0039] The load medium pipeline 120 has a refrigeration pipe section 121 and a pre-cooling pipe section 122 which are arranged in parallel, the evaporator 114 is connected to the refrigeration pipe section 121, the pre-cooling pipe section 122 is provided with a pre-cooler 123 and a control valve 124, the pre-cooler 123 is connected to the carbon dioxide circulation pipeline 110 and is located between the cooler 112 and the expansion valve 113, and the control valve 124 is used for controlling the flow of the load medium in the load medium pipeline 120 into the pre-cooling pipe section 122.
[0040] It can be understood that the evaporator 114 comprises a carbon dioxide flow channel and a load medium flow channel which are independent of each other, the carbon dioxide flow channel of the evaporator 114 is connected to the carbon dioxide circulation pipeline 110, the load medium flow channel of the evaporator 114 is connected to the refrigeration pipe section 121, the low-temperature and low-pressure state carbon dioxide exchanges heat with the load medium at the evaporator 114, absorbs the heat of the load medium to realize the refrigeration of the load medium, and realizes the basic function of the supercritical refrigeration system 100.
[0041] The pre-cooler 123 also comprises a carbon dioxide flow channel and a load medium flow channel which are independent of each other, the carbon dioxide flow channel of the pre-cooler 123 is connected to the carbon dioxide circulation pipeline 110, the load medium flow channel of the pre-cooler 123 is connected to the pre-cooling pipe section 122, the load medium flowing through the pre-cooler 123 can absorb the heat of the carbon dioxide which is still in a high-temperature state, so as to realize the pre-cooling of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112. Whether the load medium flows through the pre-cooling pipe section 122 or not is controlled by the control valve 124.
[0042] In actual application, under the condition that the temperature of the heat dissipation medium introduced into the cooler 112 is normal, the control valve 124 controls the pre-cooling pipe section 122 to be disconnected from the load medium pipeline 120, that is, the load medium in the load medium pipeline 120 flows through the refrigeration pipe section 121, that is, all the load medium is refrigerated by flowing through the evaporator 114. With the increase of the temperature of the heat dissipation medium introduced into the cooler 112, the cooling effect of the heat dissipation medium on the carbon dioxide at the cooler 112 is weakened, so that the temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112 is increased, thereby increasing the enthalpy value of the carbon dioxide inlet of the evaporator 114 and weakening the refrigeration effect and the energy efficiency ratio of the refrigeration system.
[0043] To avoid the situation that the COP of the refrigeration system is reduced to 1.0 and the supercritical refrigeration system 100 cannot run normally, before the temperature of the heat-removing medium is increased to a certain value, the pre-cooling pipe section 122 is connected to the load medium pipe 120 by controlling the valve 124, so that part of the load medium in the load medium pipe 120 is diverted into the pre-cooling pipe section 122, and the remaining part still flows into the refrigeration pipe section 121 to release heat normally. The part of the load medium flowing into the pre-cooling pipe section 122 absorbs the heat of the high-temperature carbon dioxide flowing through the pre-cooler 123 when flowing through the pre-cooler 123, so as to pre-cool the carbon dioxide, reduce the carbon dioxide inlet enthalpy of the evaporator 114, improve the COP of the refrigeration system, and maintain the COP of the refrigeration system above 1.0, so as to ensure that the supercritical refrigeration system 100 can run continuously and normally.
[0044] In this embodiment, air is used as the heat-removing medium, and water is used as the load medium. The supercritical refrigeration system 100 is tested, and the test results are as follows:
[0045]
[0046] Under condition 1, the temperature of the heat-removing medium before entering the cooler 112 is 35.0℃, the temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112 is 45.7℃, the evaporator 114 inlet enthalpy is 354kJ / kg, the refrigeration effect is 78kJ / kg, and the COP of the refrigeration system is 1.47. The COP of the refrigeration system is greater than 1.0, the supercritical refrigeration system 100 is stable, and the supercritical refrigeration system 100 can run continuously and normally. The carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112 does not need to be pre-cooled, and the control valve 124 controls the pre-cooling pipe section 122 to be disconnected from the load medium pipe 120.
[0047] Under condition 2, the temperature of the heat-removing medium before entering the cooler 112 is increased to 47.4℃. When the high-pressure upper limit is 12.0MPa, the temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112 is increased to 56.3℃, the evaporator 114 inlet enthalpy is increased to 367kJ / kg, the refrigeration effect is reduced to 65kJ / kg, and the COP of the refrigeration system is reduced to 1.00. At this time, the supercritical refrigeration system 100 is unstable.
[0048] Condition 3 is that the pre-cooling pipe section 122 is connected to the load medium pipe 120 by controlling the control valve 124 under the condition 2, so that part of the load medium flows through the pre-cooler 123, so as to realize heat exchange between part of the load medium and the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112 through the pre-cooler 123. It can be seen that the temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the pre-cooler 123 is reduced to 49.5℃, the evaporator 114 inlet enthalpy is reduced to 334kJ / kg, the refrigeration effect is increased to 100kJ / kg, and the COP of the refrigeration system is increased to 1.42. The COP of the refrigeration system is greater than 1.00, the supercritical refrigeration system 100 is stable, and the supercritical refrigeration system 100 can run continuously and normally.
[0049] Under condition 4, the temperature of the heat dissipation medium before entering the cooler 112 is further increased to 57.0°C, the temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the pre-cooler 123 is increased to 55.7°C, the enthalpy value at the inlet of the evaporator 114 is increased to 364 kJ / kg, the refrigeration effect is reduced to 69 kJ / kg, and the energy efficiency ratio of the refrigeration system is reduced to 1.00. At this time, the supercritical refrigeration system 100 becomes unstable.
[0050] It can be seen that the upper limit of the temperature of the heat dissipation medium is increased from 47.4°C to 57.0°C, that is, the operating range in which the supercritical refrigeration system 100 can normally operate is expanded, and the applicability is wider.
[0051] In this embodiment, the control valve 124 is a three-way valve, which has a first input interface, a second input interface, and an output interface. The first input interface is connected with the output end of the refrigeration pipe section 121, the second input interface is connected with the output end of the pre-cooling pipe section 122, and the output interface is connected with the load medium pipeline 120.
[0052] In another embodiment, the three-way valve can be arranged at the input ends of the refrigeration pipe section 121 and the pre-cooling pipe section 122, and other valve devices can be used to replace the three-way valve to control the on-off state of the pre-cooling pipe section 122 and the load medium pipeline 120.
[0053] In fact, the supercritical refrigeration system 100 provided in this embodiment further includes a controller and a first temperature detection member. The first temperature detection member is used to detect the temperature of the heat dissipation medium before entering the cooler 112 or the temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112. The controller is electrically connected with the first temperature detection member and the control valve 124, and is used to control the control valve 124 to be opened or closed according to the detection result of the first temperature detection member.
[0054] It can be understood that the energy efficiency ratio of the refrigeration system can be calibrated through the detection result of the first temperature detection member through simulation operation. In other words, when the detection result of the first temperature detection member reaches a certain value, it indicates that the energy efficiency ratio of the refrigeration system at this time is 1.0, and then the controller controls the control valve 124 to be opened to conduct the pre-cooling pipe section 122 and the load medium pipeline 120. For example, in condition 3 of the above test, the temperature of the heat dissipation medium reaches 47.4°C, and the energy efficiency ratio of the refrigeration system is 1.0.
[0055] In fact, in order to ensure that the load medium temperature output by the load medium pipeline 120 reaches the target temperature, the supercritical refrigeration system 100 provided in the embodiment further comprises a second temperature detection member, which is used to detect the load medium temperature after the refrigeration pipeline section 121 and the pre-cooling pipeline section 122 of the load medium pipeline 120 are combined, and the controller is electrically connected with the second temperature detection member and is further used to control the control valve 124 to adjust the load medium flow rate of the load medium pipeline 120 flowing into the pre-cooling pipeline section 122 according to the detection result of the second temperature detection member.
[0056] It should be noted that if the compressor 111 is a variable frequency compressor, the controller can also be electrically connected with the variable frequency compressor, and the controller can control the frequency of the variable frequency compressor in addition to controlling the control valve 124, so that the temperature of the mixed load medium output by the refrigeration pipeline section 121 and the pre-cooling pipeline section 122 reaches the target temperature.
[0057] In summary, the supercritical refrigeration system 100 provided in the embodiment can maintain the energy efficiency ratio in an ideal range to continuously operate normally.
[0058] The embodiment further provides a refrigeration system control method applied to the supercritical refrigeration system 100. Figure 2 , Figure 2 As shown in the flow chart of the refrigeration system control method, the refrigeration system control method can comprise the following steps.
[0059] In step S101, a first temperature before the heat dissipation medium enters the cooler 112 or a second temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112 is obtained.
[0060] In step S102, when the first temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature or the second temperature is greater than or equal to a second preset temperature, the control valve 124 is controlled to be opened, so that part of the load medium is pre-cooled by the pre-cooler 123 to flow out of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112.
[0061] Specifically, the first temperature detection member in the supercritical refrigeration system 100 can detect the temperature of the heat dissipation medium before entering the cooler 112 or the temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112, and the detection result can be used to calibrate the energy efficiency ratio of the refrigeration system.
[0062] When the detection result of the first temperature detection member reaches a certain value, the COP of the refrigeration system at this time is 1.0, and the control valve 124 is opened to connect the pre-cooling pipe section 122 with the load medium pipeline 120, so that part of the load medium is guided to the pre-cooler 123 to absorb the heat of the high-temperature carbon dioxide flowing through the pre-cooler 123, thereby pre-cooling the carbon dioxide, reducing the carbon dioxide inlet enthalpy of the evaporator 114, improving the COP of the refrigeration system, and maintaining the COP above 1.0 to ensure the sustainable normal operation of the supercritical refrigeration system 100.
[0063] If the compressor 111 is a variable frequency compressor, after step S102, the refrigeration system control method can further include the following steps:
[0064] The control valve 124 is controlled to adjust the flow of the load medium flowing through the pre-cooler 123, and the frequency of the compressor 111 is controlled to make the temperature of the mixed load medium output by the refrigeration pipe section 121 and the pre-cooling pipe section 122 reach the target temperature.
[0065] If the compressor 111 is a fixed frequency compressor, after step S102, the refrigeration system control method can further include the following steps:
[0066] The control valve 124 is controlled to adjust the flow of the load medium flowing through the pre-cooler 123 to make the temperature of the mixed load medium output by the refrigeration pipe section 121 and the pre-cooling pipe section 122 reach the target temperature.
[0067] In summary, the refrigeration system control method provided by the embodiment can maintain the COP of the supercritical refrigeration system 100 in an ideal range and ensure the sustainable normal operation of the supercritical refrigeration system 100.
[0068] The embodiment also provides a refrigeration system control device 200 applied to the supercritical refrigeration system 100. Figure 3 , Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 8, the refrigeration system control device 200 can include:
[0069] The acquisition module 210 is configured to acquire the first temperature of the heat dissipation medium before entering the cooler 112 or the second temperature of the carbon dioxide output by the cooler 112.
[0070] The control module 220 is configured to control the control valve 124 to be opened to pre-cool the carbon dioxide flowing out of the cooler 112 by the pre-cooler 123 when the first temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature or the second temperature is greater than or equal to a second preset temperature.
[0071] If the compressor 111 is a variable frequency compressor, the control module 220 is further configured to control the control valve 124 to adjust the flow rate of the load medium flowing through the pre-cooler 123, and control the frequency of the compressor 111, so that the temperature of the mixed load medium output by the refrigeration pipe section 121 and the pre-cooling pipe section 122 reaches the target temperature.
[0072] If the compressor 111 is a fixed frequency compressor, the control module 220 is further configured to control the control valve 124 to adjust the flow rate of the load medium flowing through the pre-cooler 123, so that the temperature of the mixed load medium output by the refrigeration pipe section 121 and the pre-cooling pipe section 122 reaches the target temperature.
[0073] In summary, the control device 200 of the supercritical refrigeration system 100 can maintain the energy efficiency ratio of the supercritical refrigeration system 100 in an ideal range, and ensure the continuous normal operation of the supercritical refrigeration system 100.
