Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air-conditioning heat exchanger testing, and in particular relates to a testing device that meets the requirements of R744 supercritical and subcritical heat exchangers. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the global environmentally friendly refrigerant replacement process, the natural refrigerant R744 (carbon dioxide) has begun to be widely used in large supermarkets, cold storage and new energy vehicles. However, since its operating pressure is 5-10 times higher than that of conventional refrigerants, the operating pressure range can reach 5~15MPa, and the exhaust temperature can reach 130℃, all components in the refrigeration system need to be newly developed. As one of the important components of the refrigeration system, the heat exchanger's heat exchange performance, flow resistance state, and diversion conditions have a great impact on the overall system energy efficiency. Therefore, it is also urgently needed to test it with comprehensive functions and high stability test equipment.

[0003] At present, there are few application scenarios using carbon dioxide as a refrigerant, so the corresponding test equipment is mainly built based on the actual use system, such as Figure 1 The following is the schematic diagram of the test system for the performance test of heat exchangers with carbon dioxide as the refrigerant. First, the flow control of the tested part is adjusted in real time by the frequency conversion of the compressor. Due to the limited frequency conversion range of the compressor and the large adjustment range, the flow control range is small and the stability is poor. If the return oil is not handled properly, the compressor is also easily damaged. Second, the high pressure is controlled by the water volume or water temperature on the air cooler side: However, since the critical temperature of R744 is about 31°C, the refrigerant state is supercritical after exceeding this temperature. At this time, the temperature and saturation pressure cannot correspond, which will cause poor control stability. At the same time, due to the strong thermal inertia of the water circuit, the control speed will be slow. Third, the compressor is operated alone: ​​using one compressor, due to the limited operating range of a single compressor, the overall test system control operating range will be small, and some high pressure ratio conditions cannot be controlled. Fourth, the evaporator-condenser switch requires the expansion valve flow direction and position to be turned: Since the sample flow direction will be different when testing the evaporator and condenser, when this method is used, it will be necessary to turn the expansion valve flow and position when testing different sample types, resulting in low test efficiency and the inability to automatically switch between defrosting conditions. Fifth, the condenser inlet temperature control depends on the compressor exhaust temperature control: When testing the inlet high temperature condition, the inlet temperature depends on the compressor exhaust temperature control, and the exhaust temperature depends on the compressor suction superheat, resulting in stability deviation and narrow control range.

[0004] The existing R744 supercritical and subcritical heat exchanger test device has poor stability and a narrow control range when testing the heat exchanger. The high pressure required for the test is only provided by the condenser, which makes the test speed slow. At the same time, the single operation of the compressor leads to a small operating condition control range and cannot test the high pressure ratio condition. When switching the test evaporator or condenser, the expansion valve needs to be turned, resulting in the inability to achieve automatic switching of the tested component and the low test efficiency. Therefore, the present invention proposes a R744 supercritical and subcritical heat exchanger test device. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a test device that meets the requirements of R744 supercritical and subcritical heat exchangers, so as to solve the problems that the existing test devices have poor stability and narrow control range when testing the heat exchanger, and the high pressure required for the test is only provided by the condenser, which makes the test speed slow. At the same time, the single operation of the compressor leads to a small operating condition control range and the inability to test the high pressure ratio condition.

These four parameters correspond to the inlet and outlet enthalpy values ​​of the evaporator under test respectively. When the operating conditions are stable, the heat exchange capacity on the refrigerant side of the evaporator under test is obtained by multiplying the inlet and outlet enthalpy values ​​by the flow rate.

Since the regulating valve opening responds quickly, it is faster and more direct than the original method of adjusting the condenser water path temperature or flow.

[0030] Among them, since a single compressor has its own operating range limitations, and when operating under supercritical conditions, under some heat pump conditions, the operating pressure ratio required for the test of the tested part will exceed the operating range of the compressor. In order to avoid excessively high exhaust temperature of the compressor and reliable operation of the compressor, two auxiliary compressors are connected in series to operate. At this time, auxiliary compressor MCM1 is a first-stage compressor (low-pressure stage), and auxiliary compressor MCM2 (high-pressure stage). The exhaust of the first-stage compressor is cooled by the intermediate air cooler XPE1 and then enters the suction end of the second-stage compressor to achieve high-pressure ratio operation.

[0031] Example 1: See Figure 7 When the evaporator is tested under the supercritical state of R744, the first-stage compressor 1 and the second-stage compressor 2 are kept in parallel, and the pneumatic ball valve UNS29, pneumatic ball valve UNS14, pneumatic ball valve UNS17, pneumatic ball valve UNS1 and pneumatic ball valve UNS15 are closed at the same time. After the refrigerant passes through the first-stage compressor 1 and the second-stage compressor 2 in parallel, the oil separator 4 is used to separate the compressor oil in the refrigerant discharged from the two compressors. The refrigerant is divided into two liquid paths after passing through the oil separator 4. The refrigerant in one liquid path flows through the second air cooler 7, the oil heater 8, the pressure measurement and control point PSE5, the temperature measurement and control point TIS5, the evaporator of the tested device, the temperature measurement and control point TIS7, the pressure measurement and control point PSE7 in turn until the gas separator 5 completes a circuit. The refrigerant in the other liquid path flows through the regulating valve UNW5, the condenser 6, the evaporator 9 in turn until the gas separator 5 completes a circuit.

[0032] Example 2: See Figure 8 When the condenser is tested under the supercritical state of R744, the first-stage compressor 1 and the second-stage compressor 2 are kept in parallel, and the pneumatic ball valve UNS21, the pneumatic ball valve UNS19 and the pneumatic ball valve UNS20 are closed at the same time; the refrigerant is divided into two liquid circuits after the oil separator 4, in which the refrigerant in one liquid circuit flows through the second air cooler 7, the oil heater 8, the pneumatic ball valve UNS14, the pressure measurement and control point PSE7, the temperature measurement and control point TIS7, the condenser of the tested device, the pneumatic ball valve UNS15, the pneumatic ball valve UNS16, the evaporator 9 until the air separator 5 completes a circuit; the refrigerant in the other liquid circuit flows through the regulating valve UNW5, the condenser 6, the liquid storage tank 10, the evaporator 9 until the gas separator 5 completes a circuit; the liquid outlet of the liquid storage tank 10 is connected to the liquid inlet of the second air cooler 7 through a refrigerant pipeline.

[0033] Example 3: See Figure 5When testing the evaporator under the subcritical state of R744, the first-stage compressor 1 and the second-stage compressor 2 are kept in parallel, and the regulating valve UNW5, pneumatic ball valve UNS13, pneumatic ball valve UNS14, pneumatic ball valve UNS15, pneumatic ball valve UNS16 and pneumatic ball valve UNS17 are closed at the same time. The refrigerant is discharged from the compressor and passes through the oil separator 4, pneumatic ball valve UNS28, condenser 6, and liquid storage tank 10 in turn, and is divided into two liquid circuits. The refrigerant in one liquid circuit flows through the pneumatic ball valve UNS29, the second air cooler 7, the oil heater 8, the pneumatic ball valve UNS18, the pneumatic ball valve UNS19, the pneumatic ball valve UNS20, the evaporator of the tested device, and the pneumatic ball valve UNS21 until the gas separator 5 completes a circuit. The refrigerant in the other liquid circuit flows through the evaporator 9 in turn until the gas separator 5 completes a circuit.

[0034] Example 4: See Figure 6 When testing the condenser under the subcritical state of R744, the first-stage compressor 1 and the second-stage compressor 2 are kept in parallel, and the regulating valve UNW5, pneumatic ball valve UNS9, pneumatic ball valve UNS18, pneumatic ball valve UNS19, pneumatic ball valve UNS20 and pneumatic ball valve UNS21 are closed at the same time. The refrigerant is discharged from the compressor and passes through the oil separator 4 and is divided into two liquid circuits. The refrigerant in one liquid circuit flows through the second air cooler 7, the oil heater 8, the pneumatic ball valve UNS14, the condenser of the tested device, the pneumatic ball valve UNS15, the pneumatic ball valve UNS16, the pneumatic ball valve UNS17, the evaporator 9 until the gas separator 5 completes a circuit; the refrigerant in the other liquid circuit flows through the pneumatic ball valve UNS28, the condenser 6, the liquid storage tank 10, the evaporator 9 until the gas separator 5 completes a circuit.

[0035] When the refrigerant system is running for different test types, the ball valves UNS15, UNS16, UNS19 and UNS20 are switched on and off accordingly according to the evaporation test and condensation test of the tested device. When the evaporator of the tested device is tested, UNS15 and UNS16 are closed, and UNS19 and UNS20 are opened. When the condenser of the tested device is tested, UNS15 and UNS16 are opened, and UNS19 and UNS20 are closed. This can ensure that the flow direction of the expansion valve remains unchanged and realize automatic switching of the condenser and evaporator operating conditions.

[0036] The condenser inlet temperature is controlled by the second air cooler and the oil heater.
