[0056] In some embodiments, the oil circulation test architecture further comprises an oil collecting tank 3. The oil separator 2 is connected to the first oil return control valve 6 through the oil collecting tank 3.

[0057] For example, the oil collecting side of the oil separator 2 is connected to one end of the oil collecting tank 3, the other end of the oil collecting tank 3 is connected to one end of the oil pump 4, and the other end of the oil pump 4 is connected to the first oil return control valve 6.

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

[0067] Embodiment Two

[0068] In combination Figure 5 As shown in the embodiments of the present application, a test method for compressor oil circulation is provided, which is applied to the oil circulation test architecture of Embodiment One. The test method for compressor oil circulation comprises the following steps:

[0069] In step S101, the oil circulation test architecture is placed in a set environment temperature.

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

[0071] In some embodiments, the temperature adjustment device can be triggered to operate to make the environment temperature reach the set environment temperature by arranging a temperature adjustment device in the space where the oil circulation test architecture is placed.

[0072] In the above embodiments, the temperature adjustment device can be an air conditioner. In the case that the environment temperature is less than the set environment temperature, the air conditioner is triggered to start the heating mode. In the case that the environment temperature is greater than the set environment temperature, the air conditioner is triggered to start the cooling mode.

[0073] In step S102, the first return oil control valve is adjusted to make the first test branch of the oil circulation test architecture reach a set first oil circulation rate.

[0074] The first test branch is the connecting pipeline between the oil collection side of the oil separator and the suction side of the compressor.

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

[0076] In some embodiments, step S102 can also be adjusting the first return oil control valve and the oil pump to make the first test branch of the oil circulation test architecture reach the set first oil circulation rate.

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

[0078] In another example, the set ambient temperature can be obtained, and in the case that the set ambient temperature is less than the set temperature, the first oil return control valve 6 and the oil pump 4 are adjusted to place the first test branch of the oil circulation test architecture in the set first oil circulation rate. In the case that the set ambient temperature is greater than the set temperature, only the first oil return control valve 6 is adjusted to place the first test branch of the oil circulation test architecture in the set first oil circulation rate. In this way, the oil pump of the refrigeration system is set according to the use requirement. Generally, the ambient temperature is associated with the use requirement, and whether to increase the oil pump to participate in the adjustment is determined by the ambient temperature, so that the test is more in line with the actual situation.

[0079] Optionally, the first oil circulation rate of the first test branch is obtained by calculating the refrigerant flow and the flow of the lubricating oil. In an example, the oil circulation rate of the first test branch = the measured flow of the lubricating oil of the first test branch ÷ (the measured flow of the lubricating oil of the first test branch + the refrigerant flow).

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

[0081] The second test branch is a connecting pipeline between the gas outlet side of the oil separator and the suction side of the compressor.

[0082] In an 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. The oil circulation rate of the second test branch can be measured by an oil circulation meter arranged on the second test branch.

[0083] In some embodiments, the test method of the compressor oil circulation further comprises: before adjusting the compressor 1 at the set first compressor speed, adjusting the temperature control device 5 to place the oil circulation test architecture in the set oil return temperature.

[0084] In an example, a temperature sensor is arranged on the pipeline between the temperature control device 5 and the compressor to measure the actual oil return temperature, and in the case that the actual oil return temperature is lower than the set oil return temperature, the heating temperature of the temperature control device 5 is increased, and in the case that 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, the user can understand the influence of the oil return temperature on the oil circulation test architecture, and adjust the control parameters in the actual use refrigeration system corresponding to the oil circulation test architecture to improve the operation performance of the actual use refrigeration system.

[0085] For example, before testing the oil circulation test architecture, i.e. before adjusting the compressor at a set first compressor speed, the first test branch can be set at a set first oil circulation rate, the second test branch can be set at a set second oil circulation rate, and the oil circulation test architecture can be set at a set oil return temperature.

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

[0087] At step S103, the compressor is adjusted at a set first compressor speed, and the throttle valve is adjusted at a set first valve opening.

[0088] It should be understood that when the compressor speed is increased, the refrigeration capacity of the compressor is usually also increased, which means that the refrigeration system needs to handle more refrigerant to provide sufficient refrigeration capacity. Therefore, in order to balance the refrigeration capacity and the refrigeration demand, the valve opening of the throttle valve is usually increased with the compressor speed. The compressor speed to be tested and the valve opening corresponding to the compressor speed to be tested can be set in advance and saved in a preset test database. When testing is needed, the compressor speed to be tested is directly read from the test database as the first compressor speed, and the valve opening corresponding to the first compressor speed is directly read as the first valve opening.

[0089] It should be noted that the same compressor speed can correspond to multiple valve openings. Each set of compressor speed and valve opening should be tested when testing and adjusting.

[0090] At step S104, after adjusting the compressor and the throttle valve for a preset time, the operating parameters of the devices to be tested in the oil circulation test architecture are measured by the test device.

[0091] The devices to be tested include the compressor, the condenser, the throttle valve, and the evaporator.

[0092] In some embodiments, if one 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, the throttle valve 10 is adjusted, i.e. the compressor 1 and the throttle valve 10 are adjusted.

[0093] It should be noted that after the compressor speed of the compressor 1 and the opening of the throttle valve 10 are changed, a certain time is needed for the test architecture to reach a stable state. By adjusting the compressor 1 and the throttle valve 10 for a preset time and then obtaining the operating parameters of the devices, the obtained operating parameters of the devices can be more accurate. The value of the preset time can be set by an engineer according to experience, for example, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, etc.

[0094] In some embodiments, the device under test further comprises 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] For example, the operating parameters of the device under test in the oil circulation test architecture include: suction pressure of compressor 1, discharge pressure of compressor 1, suction temperature of compressor 1, discharge temperature of compressor 1, input voltage of compressor 1, working current of compressor 1, output power of compressor 1, refrigerant flow, pipe inlet temperature of condenser 8, pipe outlet temperature of condenser 8, flow of condenser 8, pipe inlet temperature of evaporator 11, pipe outlet temperature of evaporator 11, flow of evaporator 11, inlet pressure of throttle valve 10, inlet temperature of throttle valve 10, inlet temperature of temperature control device 5, outlet temperature of temperature control device 5, lubricating oil flow, rotating speed of oil pump 4, second valve opening degree of first oil return control valve 6, oil amount of oil collecting tank 3, third valve opening degree of second oil return 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 medium to be heated. Therefore, for the condenser, the evaporator and the temperature control device, the pipe inlet temperature and the pipe outlet temperature of the two pipes can be measured respectively. The first pipe is the pipe for flowing through the medium to be heated, that is, the pipe in the heat exchanger connected to the refrigerant flow in the refrigeration system, that is, the pipe in the heat exchanger connected to the oil circulation test architecture. The second pipe is the pipe for flowing through the heat exchange medium, that is, the pipe for heat exchange with the first pipe. For example, the first pipe of the condenser, that is, the pipe for flowing through the medium to be heated in the condenser. The second pipe of the condenser, that is, the pipe for flowing through the heat exchange medium in the condenser. The first pipe of the evaporator, that is, the pipe for flowing through the medium to be heated in the evaporator. The second pipe of the evaporator, that is, the pipe for flowing through the heat exchange medium in the evaporator.

[0097] In step S105, the performance of the oil circulation test architecture is displayed according to the operating parameters.

[0099] In one embodiment described above, determining the compressor's volumetric efficiency based on the refrigerant flow rate, compressor suction temperature, and compressor suction pressure can be achieved by: looking up the density in a preset thermal property table using the compressor's suction temperature and suction pressure; and calculating M. ref =h×n×ρ1×t,η1=M r / M ref Where ρ1 is 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, and M r For refrigerant flow, M ref For mass flow rate.

[0100] In one embodiment described above, determining the isentropic efficiency of the compressor based on its suction temperature, discharge temperature, suction pressure, and discharge pressure can be achieved by: finding the compressor's inlet enthalpy and entropy value in a preset thermal property table using the compressor's suction temperature and suction pressure; finding the compressor's outlet enthalpy in a preset thermal property table using the compressor's discharge temperature and discharge pressure; finding the compressor's isentropic discharge temperature in a preset thermal property table using the compressor's entropy value and discharge pressure; and finding the compressor's post-compression enthalpy in a preset thermal property table using the isentropic discharge temperature and discharge pressure. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is then calculated as η2 = (h5' - h6) / (h5 - h6). Here, η2 is the compressor's isentropic efficiency, h5' is the compressor's post-compression enthalpy, h6 is the compressor's inlet enthalpy, and h5 is the compressor's outlet enthalpy.

[0101] In one embodiment of the above, displaying the performance of the compressor based on volumetric efficiency and isentropic efficiency may include: forming a volumetric efficiency trend chart by calculating the volumetric efficiency based on the operating parameters measured at different first compressor speeds and first valve openings; and forming an isentropic efficiency trend chart by calculating the isentropic efficiency based on the operating parameters measured at different first compressor speeds and first valve openings.

[0102] For example, the volumetric efficiency at different oil circulation rates can be plotted as a volumetric efficiency trend chart, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the oil circulation rate (OCR), and the vertical axis represents the volumetric efficiency. An isentropic efficiency trend chart can be generated for different oil circulation rates, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the oil circulation rate, and the vertical axis represents the isentropic efficiency. The oil circulation rate on the horizontal axis can be set to the oil circulation rate of the first test branch or the oil circulation rate of the second test branch, depending on the testing requirements.

[0103] In some embodiments, the operating parameters include: a first pipe inlet temperature of the condenser, a first pipe outlet temperature of the condenser, a second pipe inlet temperature of the condenser, a second pipe inlet temperature of the evaporator, a second pipe outlet temperature of the evaporator, a first pipe inlet temperature of the evaporator; and the performance of the oil circulation test architecture includes: heat exchange performance of the heat exchange device.

[0104] In the above embodiments, determining the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser 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 can be: calculating 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.

[0105] In the above embodiments, determining the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator according to the second pipe inlet temperature of the evaporator, the second pipe outlet temperature of the evaporator, and the first pipe inlet temperature of the evaporator can be: calculating ε2 is the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator, T5 is the second pipe inlet temperature of the evaporator, T6 is the second pipe outlet temperature of the evaporator, and T7 is the first pipe inlet temperature of the evaporator.

[0106] In the above embodiments, displaying the heat exchange performance of the heat exchange device according to the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser and the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator can include: forming a condenser efficiency trend chart of the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser measured by different first compressor speeds and first valve opening degrees; and forming an evaporator efficiency trend chart of the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator measured by different first compressor speeds and first valve opening degrees.

[0107] For example, the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser (Cond) at different oil circulation rates can be formed into a condenser efficiency trend chart, as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the abscissa is the oil circulation rate, and the ordinate is the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser.

[0108] For the convenience of users, one or more of the volumetric efficiency trend chart, the isentropic efficiency trend chart, the condenser performance trend chart, and the evaporator performance trend chart can be fused into one chart for display.

[0110] In the above embodiments, the heat exchange performance of the condenser 8 can be determined according to the first pipe inlet temperature of the condenser 8, the first pipe outlet temperature of the condenser 8, the first pipe inlet pressure of the condenser 8, the first pipe outlet pressure of the condenser 8, and the flow rate of the condenser 8, which can be: calculating QE1 = Mr x (he1-he2). Wherein, QE1 is the heat exchange performance of the condenser, he2 is the enthalpy of the outlet refrigerant of the condenser, and he1 is the enthalpy of the inlet refrigerant of the condenser.

[0111] Wherein, the enthalpy of the inlet refrigerant of the condenser 8 can be found by using the first pipe inlet temperature of the condenser 8 and the first pipe inlet pressure of the condenser 8 in the preset thermophysical property table, and the enthalpy of the outlet refrigerant of the condenser 8 can be found by using the first pipe outlet temperature of the condenser 8 and the first pipe outlet pressure of the condenser 8. The thermophysical property table stores the corresponding relationship between the first pipe inlet temperature of the condenser 8, the first pipe inlet pressure of the condenser 8, and the enthalpy of the inlet refrigerant. The thermophysical property table also stores the corresponding relationship between the first pipe outlet temperature of the condenser 8, the first pipe outlet pressure of the condenser 8, and the enthalpy of the outlet refrigerant of the condenser 8.

The preset thermophysical table also stores the corresponding relationship among the first pipe outlet temperature of the evaporator 11, the first pipe outlet pressure of the evaporator 11 and the enthalpy of the outlet refrigerant of the evaporator 11.

[0114] In the above embodiment, the heat exchange performance of the condenser and the heat exchange performance of the evaporator are used to display the heat exchange performance of the heat exchange device.

[0116] In the above embodiment, the set amount of lubricating oil can be set by an engineer according to experience to ensure that the compressor 1 can run normally. The set amount of lubricating oil can be injected into the compressor 1 by the engineer or can be injected into the compressor 1 by the manufacturer in advance.

[0117] In the above embodiment, the test device comprises a temperature sensor and / or a pressure sensor. The determination of whether the oil circulation test architecture runs stably comprises: obtaining a plurality of to-be-evaluated parameters at intervals of a preset time period; the to-be-evaluated parameters comprise a temperature value measured by the temperature sensor 12 and / or a pressure value measured by the pressure sensor 13; and in a case where the values of the plurality of to-be-evaluated parameters change within a preset range, it is determined that the oil circulation test architecture runs stably.

[0118] It can be understood that the preset range can comprise a preset temperature change range and / or a preset pressure change range. In a case where the to-be-evaluated parameter is a temperature value, it is evaluated whether the value change of the temperature value is within the preset temperature change range. In a case where the to-be-evaluated parameter is a pressure value, it is evaluated whether the value change of the pressure value is within the preset pressure change range.

[0119] For example, the preset time period is 30 seconds, the temperature value A measured by the temperature sensor 12 and the pressure value B of the pressure sensor 13 are obtained, after 30 seconds, the temperature value C measured by the temperature sensor 12 and the pressure value D of the pressure sensor 13 are obtained. The temperature change value is obtained by using the temperature value C minus the temperature value A.

[0122] For example, a proper amount of lubricating oil can be injected into the compressor 1 in advance to ensure that the compressor 1 can operate normally. Then, according to the above-mentioned method, the temperature value A measured by the temperature sensor 12 and the pressure value B of the pressure sensor 13 are obtained, after 30 seconds, the temperature value C measured by the temperature sensor 12 and the pressure value D of the pressure sensor 13 are obtained. The temperature change value is obtained by using the temperature value C minus the temperature value A. The pressure change value is obtained by using the pressure value D minus the pressure value B. In the case that the temperature change value is in the preset temperature change range and the pressure change value is in the preset pressure change range, it is determined that the oil circulation test architecture is stably operated. Figure 1The oil circulation test architecture shown installs the device and the sensor in place. The oil circulation test architecture is subjected to vacuumizing and pressure maintaining treatment, after meeting the air tightness requirement, the refrigerant is filled, and the value of the refrigerant is recorded. The test environment is started, and the test run is carried out according to the environmental temperature of 38℃, the compressor 1 rotation speed of Max x 80% rpm (revolutions per minute), the supercooling degree of 10K (thermodynamic temperature unit), the superheating degree of 5K, the exhaust pressure of 1.5 MPa (megapascal), and the suction pressure of 0.3 MPa, until the oil circulation test architecture is stably operated. Wherein, Max is the rated maximum rotation speed of the compressor. During the test run, the oil pump 4 and the first oil return control valve 6 are not operated. The temperature control device 5 is triggered to operate, and the temperature value of the temperature control device 5 is read, in the case that the temperature value changes, it is confirmed that the temperature control device 5 operates normally, and in the case that the temperature value does not change, it is confirmed that the temperature control device 5 does not operate normally. After the test run is completed, the oil circulation test architecture is stopped for 15 minutes.

Then, the oil circulation test architecture is placed in the condition of the set environmental temperature, the set oil circulation rate and the set oil return temperature, the compressor 1 is adjusted again according to the compressor 1 rotation speed, and the throttle valve 10 is adjusted according to the valve opening degree; after the compressor 1 and the throttle valve 10 are adjusted for a preset time, the operating parameters of the compressor, the condenser, the throttle valve, the evaporator and other devices in the oil circulation test architecture are obtained; the performance of the compressor and the heat exchange performance of the heat exchange device are displayed according to the operating parameters.
