Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the refrigeration technology, and specifically relates to a full CO₂ refrigeration device that can be placed in a tunnel to shorten the construction period. 2 Refrigeration device. Background Technique

[0002] At present, the existing ground freezing technologies in the industry are divided into three types: brine freezing, liquid nitrogen freezing, and low-temperature carbon dioxide freezing. Among them, at similar costs, the freezing efficiency of low-temperature carbon dioxide is the highest. In the ground freezing of tunnels, the invention patent with the application number 202210450347.0 discloses "A carbon dioxide secondary refrigerant unit for an artificial ground freezing system". The problems of this secondary refrigerant unit are as follows: First, it is an integral device, and the compressor, water-cooled condenser, and carbon dioxide liquid storage tank are arranged side by side in the width direction of the device, so the overall device is too wide. Second, the used condensation evaporator and carbon dioxide liquid storage tank are two separate devices. Due to the need for gravity liquid drainage, the condensation evaporator must be placed above the carbon dioxide liquid storage tank, so the device will be very tall. If the height is reduced, only the height between the CO₂ refrigeration pump and the CO₂ liquid storage tank can be reduced, which will greatly reduce the safe net positive suction head of the pump, and the pump is very likely to generate cavitation phenomenon, posing a great safety hazard to the CO₂ refrigeration pump; the above-mentioned patent is a carbon dioxide secondary refrigerant unit. Because the refrigerant and secondary refrigerant are different working media, there are many devices used in the system, the system is complex, and when the whole is placed in the tunnel, it will occupy a very wide passage, which will affect the construction of other processes and cannot be constructed synchronously with other processes. Only after other processes in the tunnel are completed, the ground freezing can be carried out finally. Generally, the time for ground freezing is very long, which will cause problems such as the extension of the entire project construction period and the increase of construction costs. 2 Refrigeration pump and CO₂ 2 Between the liquid storage tank, this will cause the safe net positive suction head of the pump to be greatly reduced, and the pump is very likely to generate cavitation phenomenon, making the CO₂ 2 Refrigeration pump has a great safety hazard; the above-mentioned patent is for the CO₂ 2 Secondary refrigerant unit. Because the refrigerant and secondary refrigerant are different working media, there are many devices used in the system, the system is complex, and when the whole is placed in the tunnel, it will occupy a very wide passage, which will affect the construction of other processes and cannot be constructed synchronously with other processes. As a result, the entire project construction period is extended and the construction cost is increased. Content of the Utility Model
