Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of parallel refrigeration systems, in particular to an exhaust cooling device for parallel refrigeration compressors based on washing oil. Background Art

[0002] The parallel compressor refrigeration system is composed of two or more refrigeration compressors installed in parallel on the rack of the parallel refrigeration unit, and externally connected to oil separators, liquid receivers, condensers, evaporators and other equipment, equipped with corresponding various pipes and valves. It together constitutes a parallel compressor refrigeration system. Due to its advantages of high refrigeration efficiency, easy control, safe and reliable operation, it is widely used in various occasions such as chemical industry, mining, large and medium-sized test environments, cold storage, food processing, aquatic product processing, etc.

[0003] At present, with the increasing development of large cold storage and super large cold storage, the categories of cold storage storage are becoming more and more diversified. In order to meet the refrigeration conditions of diversified storage, parallel compressor refrigeration systems are also gradually becoming diversified. For example, in terms of parallel refrigeration compressor units, refrigeration compressors of different models or types are operated in parallel to replace the parallel operation of refrigeration compressors of the same model; in terms of evaporative condensers, multiple evaporative condensers of different models or types are operated in parallel to replace one or more evaporative condensers of the same model. The parallel operation of refrigeration compressors of different models or types and the parallel operation of multiple evaporative condensers of different models or types can maximize the low temperature requirements of different storages in the cold storage. However, the parallel operation of refrigeration compressors of different models or types and the parallel operation of multiple evaporative condensers of different models or types will result in different exhaust temperatures and pressures of the refrigeration compressors, as well as different temperatures of the condensed liquid discharged from the evaporative condensers. If the traditional oil separator is used, it can no longer meet the purpose of gas and oil separation.

[0004] In addition, since different models or types of refrigeration compressors are operated in parallel, the amount of oil return required by each refrigeration compressor is also different. If the oil supply method of parallel operation of refrigeration compressors of the same model is adopted, it is very easy to cause the parallel compressors to be short of oil due to insufficient or untimely oil return. In severe cases, it will cause abnormal wear of the friction pairs of the refrigeration compressors and induce vibration and noise, which will directly affect the refrigeration efficiency and service life of the entire refrigeration system.

[0005] To sum up, when existing refrigeration compressors of different models or types are operated in parallel, the gas and oil in the oil separator are not easy to separate, and there are technical problems in the oil supply system of the parallel refrigeration compressor unit. How to ensure the smooth separation of Freon gas and lubricating oil in the oil separator and ensure that the lubricating oil can flow back to each refrigeration compressor of the parallel refrigeration compressor unit in sufficient quantity and in time, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the parallel compressors, is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned technical defects, in order to solve the problem of smooth separation of gas and oil in the oil separator and ensure normal oil return of the parallel refrigeration compressor unit, the utility model cools the washing oil separator through the condensed liquid of the evaporative condenser and supplies lubricating oil through the oil supply branch pipe assembly, and proposes a parallel refrigeration compressor exhaust cooling device based on washing oil separation.

[0009] Furthermore, the installation position of the horizontal liquid storage device is 300 mm higher than the liquid level in the washing type oil separator, the washing type oil separator is installed on the rack of the parallel refrigeration unit, and the horizontal liquid storage device is installed outside the rack of the parallel refrigeration unit.

[0010] Furthermore, the oil supply branch pipe assembly comprises a stop valve A, an oil sight glass, a solenoid valve, an oil flow controller, an oil filter and a stop valve B, wherein along the flow direction of the lubricating oil in the oil supply branch pipe assembly, the stop valve A, the oil sight glass, the solenoid valve, the oil flow controller, the oil filter and the stop valve B are sequentially installed on the oil supply branch pipe, the stop valve A and the stop valve B are in a normally open state, and the solenoid valve is in a normally closed state.

[0011] Furthermore, the liquid reservoir inlet pipe is in a horizontal direction, and a liquid storage bend is arranged at a horizontal position of the liquid reservoir inlet pipe close to the horizontal liquid reservoir.

[0012] Furthermore, liquid storage bends are respectively arranged on each liquid outlet branch pipe connected to the evaporative cooling liquid outlet header and the evaporative condenser.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the parallel refrigeration compressor exhaust cooling device based on washing oil separation, on the one hand, introduces the liquid refrigerant of the evaporative condenser into the washing oil separator by adding an oil separator cooling inlet pipe, and by setting the height difference between the horizontal liquid storage tank and the washing oil separator, ensures that the liquid refrigerant in the washing oil separator is always within the design range, and cools and reduces the temperature of the exhaust of the parallel refrigeration compressor by "washing", thereby successfully achieving the purpose of separating the refrigerant and the lubricating oil; on the other hand, by adding an oil supply branch pipe assembly and supplying lubricating oil to each refrigeration compressor by an oil pump, it is ensured that the lubricating oil smoothly enters each refrigeration compressor, and it is also convenient to observe and control the lubricating oil flow of each oil supply branch pipe assembly.
