[0002] At present, there is a structure in which an oil separator is set inside the compressor. However, due to the limited internal space of the compressor, the size and structure of the built-in oil separator are limited, resulting in insufficient separation efficiency of the oil separator, and more lubricating oil entering the refrigeration system. Under certain extreme special working conditions, the compressor may not return enough oil and be damaged. Among them, the refrigeration system includes: a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator. Therefore, in order to improve the separation efficiency of the oil separator, a separate oil separator is added between the compressor and the condenser to separate the refrigerant and the lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil separated by the oil separator is transmitted back to the compressor through the oil return circuit. However, after changing the oil return structure, the user does not know under what operating conditions the performance of the compressor can be better, and thus the performance of the entire refrigeration system can be better. Therefore, how to test the new refrigeration system in order to optimize the parameters of the refrigeration system actually used needs to be solved urgently.

[0066] In some embodiments, the oil circulation meter 9 may be disposed on the pipeline between the condenser 8 and the evaporator 11 .

[0067] Embodiment 2

[0068] Combination Figure 5 As shown, a compressor oil circulation test method is provided in an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to the oil circulation test framework of embodiment 1. The compressor oil circulation test method includes:

[0069] Step S101 , placing the oil circulation test structure at a set ambient temperature.

[0070] In some embodiments, the ambient temperature refers to the temperature of the space where the oil circulation test framework is placed. The ambient temperature can be obtained by setting a temperature sensor in the space where the oil circulation test framework is placed and reading the value of the temperature sensor. The space where the oil circulation test framework is placed is, for example, a room where the oil circulation test framework is placed.

[0071] In some embodiments, a temperature regulating device may be provided in the space where the oil circulation test framework is placed, and the temperature regulating device may be triggered to operate so that the ambient temperature reaches a set ambient temperature.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the temperature adjustment device may be an air conditioner. When the ambient temperature is lower than the set ambient temperature, the air conditioner is triggered to start the heating mode. When the ambient temperature is higher than the set ambient temperature, the air conditioner is triggered to start the cooling mode.

[0073] Step S102 , adjusting the first oil return control valve to set the first test branch of the oil circulation test structure to a set first oil circulation rate.

[0074] The first test branch is a connecting pipe between the oil collecting side of the oil separator and the suction side of the compressor.

[0075] Exemplarily, the second valve opening of the first oil return control valve may be continuously adjusted until the oil circulation rate of the first test branch reaches a set first oil circulation rate.

[0076] In some embodiments, step S102 may also be: adjusting the first oil return control valve and the oil pump to place the first test branch of the oil circulation test architecture at a set first oil circulation rate.

[0077] For example, the oil pump 4 can be adjusted to a set oil pump speed in advance, and then the second valve opening of the first oil return control valve 6 is continuously adjusted until the oil circulation rate of the first test branch reaches the set first oil circulation rate. The first oil return control valve 6 can also be adjusted to a set valve opening in advance, and then the oil pump speed of the oil pump 4 is continuously adjusted until the oil circulation rate of the first test branch reaches the set first oil circulation rate.

[0078] As another example, a set ambient temperature can be obtained. When the set ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature, the first oil return control valve 6 and the oil pump 4 are adjusted so that the first test branch of the oil circulation test structure is set to the set first oil circulation rate. When the set ambient temperature is higher than the set temperature, only the first oil return control valve 6 is adjusted so that the first test branch of the oil circulation test structure is set to the set first oil circulation rate. In this way, considering that the oil pump of the refrigeration system is set according to the use requirements. Usually, the ambient temperature is related to the use requirements. Determining whether to increase the oil pump to participate in the adjustment by the ambient temperature can make the test more realistic.

[0079] Optionally, the first oil circulation rate of the first test branch is calculated by the refrigerant flow rate and the lubricating oil flow rate. Exemplarily, the oil circulation rate of the first test branch = the lubricating oil flow rate measured by the first test branch / (the lubricating oil flow rate measured by the first test branch + the refrigerant flow rate).

[0080] In some embodiments, the compressor oil circulation test method further includes: before adjusting the compressor 1 according to the set first compressor speed, adjusting the second oil return control valve 14 to set the second test branch of the oil circulation test architecture to a set second oil circulation rate.

[0081] The second test branch is a connecting pipe between the air outlet side of the oil separator and the air intake side of the compressor.

[0082] For example, the third valve opening of the second oil return control valve 14 can be continuously adjusted until the oil circulation rate of the second test branch reaches the set second oil circulation rate. An oil circulation meter can be set on the second test branch to measure the oil circulation rate of the second test branch.

[0083] In some embodiments, the compressor oil circulation test method further includes: before adjusting the compressor 1 according to the set first compressor speed, adjusting the temperature control device 5 to make the oil circulation test structure at a set oil return temperature.

[0084] Exemplarily, a temperature sensor is provided on the pipe between the temperature control device 5 and the compressor to measure the actual oil return temperature. When the actual oil return temperature is lower than the set oil return temperature, the heating temperature of the temperature control device 5 is increased. When the actual oil return temperature is higher than the set oil return temperature, the heating temperature of the temperature control device 5 is decreased. In this way, by controlling the oil return temperature, it is convenient for the user to understand the influence of the oil return temperature on the oil circulation test architecture, and adjust the control parameters in the refrigeration system actually used corresponding to the oil circulation test architecture, so as to improve the operating performance of the refrigeration system actually used.

[0085] Exemplarily, before testing the oil circulation test architecture, that is, before adjusting the compressor according to a set first compressor speed, the first test branch can be placed at a set first oil circulation rate, the second test branch can be placed at a set second oil circulation rate, and the oil circulation test architecture can be placed at a set oil return temperature.

[0086] As another example, before testing the oil circulation test architecture, only the first test branch may be placed at a set first oil circulation rate, and the oil circulation test architecture may be placed at a set oil return temperature.

[0087] Step S103, adjusting the compressor according to the set first compressor speed, and adjusting the throttle valve according to the set first valve opening.

[0088] It should be understood that when the compressor speed increases, its refrigeration capacity will generally increase, which means that the refrigeration system needs to process more refrigerant to provide sufficient cooling capacity. Therefore, in order to balance the cooling capacity with the cooling demand, the valve opening of the throttle valve will generally increase with the compressor speed. The compressor speed to be tested and the valve opening to be tested corresponding to the compressor speed can be pre-set and saved to a preset database to be tested. When a test is required, the compressor speed to be tested is directly read from the database to be tested as the first compressor speed, and the valve opening corresponding to the first compressor speed is used as the first valve opening.

[0089] It is worth noting that the same compressor speed can correspond to multiple valve openings. When performing test adjustments, each set of compressor speed and valve opening should be tested.

[0090] Step S104 , after adjusting the compressor and the throttle valve for a preset time, using a test device to measure operating parameters of the device under test in the oil circulation test framework.

[0091] Among them, the devices to be tested include a compressor, a condenser, a throttle valve, and an evaporator.

[0092] In some embodiments, if a compressor speed corresponds to multiple valve openings, the compressor speed does not need to be changed, and only the valve opening of the throttle valve 10 needs to be adjusted. At this time, after the throttle valve 10 is adjusted, the compressor 1 and the throttle valve 10 are adjusted.

[0093] Considering that after the compressor speed of the compressor 1 and the opening of the throttle valve 10 are changed, it takes a certain amount of time for the test architecture to reach a stable state. By obtaining the operating parameters of the device after adjusting the compressor 1 and the throttle valve 10 for a preset time, the operating parameters of the device obtained can be more accurate. Among them, the value of the preset time can be set by the engineer based on experience, for example: 2 minutes, 5 minutes, etc.

[0094] In some embodiments, the device under test further includes: a temperature control device, an oil pump, a first oil return control valve, an oil collecting tank, a second oil return control valve, etc.

[0095] Exemplarily, operating parameters of the device to be tested in the oil circulation test architecture, such as: the suction pressure of compressor 1, the exhaust pressure of compressor 1, the suction temperature of compressor 1, the exhaust temperature of compressor 1, the input voltage of compressor 1, the operating current of compressor 1, the output power of compressor 1, the refrigerant flow rate, the pipe inlet temperature of condenser 8, the pipe outlet temperature of condenser 8, the flow rate of condenser 8, the pipe inlet temperature of evaporator 11, the pipe outlet temperature of evaporator 11, the flow rate of evaporator 11, the inlet pressure of throttle valve 10, the inlet temperature of throttle valve 10, the inlet temperature of temperature control device 5, the outlet temperature of temperature control device 5, the lubricating oil flow rate, the speed of oil pump 4, the second valve opening of the first return oil control valve 6, the oil amount in the oil collecting tank 3, the third valve opening of the second return oil control valve 14, etc.

[0096] It should be understood that there are two pipes in the heat exchanger, one for flowing through the heat exchange medium and the other for flowing through the heat exchanged medium. Therefore, for the condenser, evaporator and temperature control device. The pipe inlet temperature and pipe outlet temperature of the two pipes can be measured respectively. Among them, the first pipe is a pipe for flowing through the heat exchanged medium, that is, a pipe in the heat exchanger connected to the refrigeration system to participate in the flow of refrigerant, that is, a pipe in the heat exchanger connected to the oil circulation test structure. Among them, the second pipe is a pipe for flowing through the heat exchange medium, that is, a pipe that exchanges heat with the first pipe. Exemplarily, the first pipe of the condenser, that is, the pipe of the condenser for flowing through the heat exchanged medium. The second pipe of the condenser, that is, the pipe of the condenser for flowing through the heat exchanged medium. The first pipe of the evaporator, that is, the pipe of the evaporator for flowing through the heat exchanged medium. The second pipe of the evaporator, that is, the pipe of the evaporator for flowing through the heat exchanged medium.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present invention, the volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be determined based on the refrigerant flow rate, the suction temperature of the compressor, and the suction pressure of the compressor by searching for density in a preset thermophysical property table using the suction temperature of the compressor and the suction pressure of the compressor; calculating M ref =h×n×ρ1×t,η1=M r / M ref Among them, ρ1 is the density, h is the cylinder volume of the compressor, n is the compressor speed, t is the preset time coefficient, η1 is the volumetric efficiency of the compressor, M r is the refrigerant flow rate, M ref is the mass flow rate.

[0100] In one way of the above embodiment, the isentropic efficiency of the compressor can be determined according to the suction temperature of the compressor, the exhaust temperature of the compressor, the suction pressure of the compressor, and the exhaust pressure of the compressor: by using the suction temperature of the compressor and the suction pressure of the compressor to find the inlet enthalpy value of the compressor and the entropy value of the compressor in a preset thermophysical property table; by using the exhaust temperature of the compressor and the exhaust pressure of the compressor to find the outlet enthalpy value of the compressor in a preset thermophysical property table; using the entropy value of the compressor and the exhaust pressure of the compressor in a preset thermophysical property table to find the isentropic exhaust temperature of the compressor; using the isentropic exhaust temperature and the exhaust pressure of the compressor in a preset thermophysical property table to find the post-compression enthalpy value of the compressor. Calculate η2=(h5'-h6) / (h5-h6) to obtain the isentropic efficiency of the compressor. Wherein, η2 is the isentropic efficiency of the compressor, h5' is the post-compression enthalpy value of the compressor, h6 is the inlet enthalpy value of the compressor, and h5 is the outlet enthalpy value of the compressor.

The isentropic efficiency of different oil circulation rates can be formed into an isentropic efficiency trend chart, such as Figure 7 As shown, the abscissa is the oil circulation rate, and the ordinate is the isentropic efficiency. The oil circulation rate of the abscissa can be set to the oil circulation rate of the first test branch or the oil circulation rate of the second test branch according to the test requirements.

[0104] In the above embodiment, the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser can be determined according to the first pipe inlet temperature of the condenser, the first pipe outlet temperature of the condenser, and the second pipe inlet temperature of the condenser: ε1 is the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser, T2 is the first pipe inlet temperature of the condenser, T3 is the first pipe outlet temperature of the condenser, and T4 is the second pipe inlet temperature of the condenser.
