Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of freeze-drying machine refrigeration systems, in particular to a cascade refrigeration system of a medicinal experimental freeze-drying machine. Background Art
[0002] Pharmaceutical experimental freeze dryers are small freeze-drying equipment, mainly used for pharmaceutical process development and process optimization. As experimental equipment, in addition to being easy to install and use, compact in structure, and easy to move, due to the high value of the drugs, there are also high requirements for the performance and reliability of the equipment.
[0003] As a key component of a pharmaceutical laboratory freeze dryer, the refrigeration system's performance and reliability play a decisive role in its operation. The maximum operating temperature is generally -85°C. Therefore, the refrigeration system of pharmaceutical laboratory freeze dryers generally adopts a two-stage cascade refrigeration cycle, a direct expansion cold trap for cooling, and is equipped with a fully enclosed commercial compressor and an air-cooled condenser.
[0004] The freeze-drying cycle of a laboratory freeze dryer is typically long, and the refrigeration system's operating conditions and loads vary greatly, even to extremes, during a single freeze-drying cycle. During much of the latter part of the freeze-drying cycle, the refrigeration load is very low and continues to decline, causing the compressor suction pressure to continuously drop to the compressor's limit. This can lead to oil return difficulties, excessive compression ratios, overheating of the compressor motor, and even thermal shutdowns. Consequently, when ambient temperature and humidity are slightly elevated or the operating time is prolonged, pharmaceutical laboratory freeze dryers are prone to compressor oil shortages and oil degradation. This shortens the compressor's lifespan, reduces reliability, and makes the system prone to failures and shutdowns, resulting in freeze-drying failures and serious economic losses.

When the circulation flow rate of the low-temperature refrigeration unit increases, the refrigerant flow rate in the high-temperature refrigeration unit also increases, thereby simultaneously improving oil return and compressor cooling in the high-temperature refrigeration unit system.

The input end of the expansion tank 20 is connected after the output end of the oil separator 8, and the output end of the expansion tank 20 is connected before the input port of the low-temperature compressor 7. A pressure relief valve 19 is provided between the expansion tank 20 and the oil separator 8.
[0030] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present utility model is:
[0031] After being compressed by the high-temperature compressor 1, the high-temperature gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser precooler 2 and flows from top to bottom, facilitating the return of entrained lubricating oil. In the condenser precooler 2, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant undergoes heat exchange with the fan-driven air and is cooled into a liquid state. When the solenoid valve 4 opens, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve 5 and becomes a low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase mixture before entering the condenser evaporator 6, where it transfers its cooling capacity to the refrigerant on the low-temperature refrigeration unit side. Simultaneously, the high-temperature refrigeration unit refrigerant vaporizes and is withdrawn by the high-temperature compressor 1, starting a new cycle. The expansion valve 5 automatically controls the refrigerant flow rate based on the load of the condenser evaporator 6, thereby regulating the cooling capacity.
[0032] After the high-temperature gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the low-temperature compressor 7, it passes through the oil separator 8, and most of the entrained lubricating oil is separated and automatically returned to the low-temperature compressor 7. After passing through the oil separator 8, the refrigerant enters the condenser precooler 2 and flows from top to bottom to facilitate the reflux of the entrained lubricating oil. In the condenser precooler 2, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant undergoes heat exchange with the fan-driven air and is cooled before entering the condenser evaporator 6. The high-pressure gaseous refrigerant of the low-temperature refrigeration unit is cooled to a high-pressure liquid by the refrigerant on the high-temperature refrigeration unit side and then flows into the high-pressure liquid reservoir 9. After pre-cooling, the refrigerant of the low-temperature refrigeration unit enters the condenser evaporator 6 to continue cooling until it is liquefied. This can effectively reduce the area of the condenser evaporator 6 and the system configuration capacity of the high-temperature refrigeration unit, reduce the average temperature difference of the heat exchange during the cooling process, and thus improve the economy of the system. When the front box requires cooling, the front box solenoid valve 11 opens. The high-pressure refrigerant liquid stored in the high-pressure accumulator 9 flows through the second filter drier 10 and the front box expansion valve 12, becoming a low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase mixture. It then enters the front box heat exchanger 13, where it transfers its cooling energy to the heat carrier fluid on the other side, which then delivers the cooling energy to the materials in the front box. The front box expansion valve 12 automatically controls the refrigerant flow rate based on the cooling demand of the front box, thereby adjusting the cooling capacity. When the cold trap 16 requires cooling, the cold trap solenoid valve 14 opens. The high-pressure refrigerant liquid in the high-pressure accumulator 9 flows through the second filter drier 10 and the cold trap expansion valve 15, becoming a low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase mixture. It then flows from top to bottom through the cold trap 16, facilitating the return of the lubricating oil contained in the refrigerant. The refrigerant transfers its cooling energy to the trapped water vapor, freezing it. The cold trap expansion valve 15 automatically controls the refrigerant flow rate based on instructions, thereby adjusting the cooling capacity and controlling the water capture efficiency of the cold trap 16. A check valve 17 is installed on the refrigerant outlet line of cold trap 16, just before its intersection with the refrigerant outlet line of headbox heat exchanger 13, to prevent refrigerant in headbox heat exchanger 13 from flowing back into cold trap 16. The low-pressure refrigerant vaporized in headbox heat exchanger 13 and cold trap 16 passes through gas-liquid separator 18 and is then withdrawn by low-temperature compressor 7 to begin a new cycle. Gas-liquid separator 18 ensures that the refrigerant return air does not contain a large amount of liquid that could cause a liquid hammer accident. Gas-liquid separator 18 also collects lubricating oil from the system and returns it to low-temperature compressor 7 via the return air.
[0033] After system shutdown, the low-temperature refrigeration unit heats up, and a large amount of liquid refrigerant on the high-pressure side vaporizes, causing excessive system pressure. When the pressure exceeds the set value of pressure relief valve 19, the vaporized refrigerant is released through pressure relief valve 19 into expansion tank 20, thereby maintaining the system pressure within a safe range. When the cold trap 16 is under low load and the suction pressure of the low-temperature compressor 7 is too low, solenoid valve 21 is opened to release a portion of the high-pressure hot gas from the low-temperature compressor 7 through pressure reducing valve 22. This gas is mixed with the refrigerant flowing through the cold trap expansion valve 15 and supplied to the cold trap 16. Pressure reducing valve 22 automatically adjusts the refrigerant gas flow rate according to the command. This effectively adds a controllable additional load to the cold trap 16, thereby regulating the suction pressure, improving the compression ratio, and refrigeration conditions. It also increases the refrigerant flow rate in the cold trap 16 during low load conditions, thereby improving the return of lubricating oil in the cold trap 16. Furthermore, the increased refrigerant flow rate enhances the cooling effect of the low-temperature compressor 7, preventing overheating and shutdown. Under the condition that the circulation flow of the low-temperature refrigeration unit increases, the circulation of the high-temperature refrigeration unit will also increase the refrigerant flow, thereby improving the oil return and compressor cooling of the high-temperature refrigeration unit system at the same time.
