[0002] The current frozen refrigeration refrigeration system technology has wide application scenarios, and a typical refrigeration system is composed of a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device and an evaporator. It is completed by alternating the condensation and evaporation processes of the refrigerant. In general, the refrigeration system of scroll compressor cannot allow the problem of suction gas-liquid due to the special structure of scroll compressor, so it can only be applied to some frozen refrigeration systems with short refrigeration circuit and less refrigerant charge. To this end, people usually add a gas-liquid separator to the system to solve the problem of compressor suction gas-liquid, broaden the application scenarios and realize the expansion of scroll compressor to more application fields. For the application of scroll compressor suction gas-liquid and more refrigerant charge, such as ultra-low temperature freezer system, aluminum row freezer system, indoor and outdoor unit drop larger freezer system, and long pipe refrigeration system, most of them choose semi-closed piston compressor and screw compressor with stronger suction gas-liquid resistance.

Second, the refrigeration system of semi-closed piston compressor and screw compressor with stronger suction gas-liquid resistance has the problems of large size, high cost and low energy efficiency compared with the refrigeration system of scroll compressor. Third, the compressor suction gas-liquid, any type of compressor has uncertain failure risk after long time running, such as dilution of liquid refrigerant leading to lubrication failure, low suction pressure causing large pressure ratio leading to high internal temperature and other problems.

[0030] AsFigure 1 As shown in the figure, the utility model is a refrigeration system for preventing the suction of the scroll compressor from returning liquid, which is used in the ultra-low temperature cold storage system, the aluminum cold storage system, the cold storage system with large difference between indoor and outdoor units, the cold storage system with relatively long piping, and the like, and is easy to cause the suction of the scroll compressor to return liquid and the refrigerant charging volume to be relatively large in the refrigeration, freezing and cold storage cold storage system. The utility model comprises a compressor 1, a condenser 2, a liquid accumulator 3, a drying filter 4, a liquid pipe sight glass 5, a throttling device 6, an evaporator 7 and a heat regenerator 8. The throttling device 6 is arranged at both ends of the evaporator 7.
[0031] In the present application, through the reverse Carnot cycle, the function of the compressor is to compress the steam with low pressure into steam with high pressure, so that the volume of the steam is reduced and the pressure is increased. The compressor sucks the working medium steam with low pressure from the evaporator, so that the pressure is increased and then sent to the condenser. In the condenser, the steam is condensed into liquid with high pressure. After throttling through the throttling valve, the liquid becomes liquid with low pressure, and then is sent to the evaporator. In the evaporator, the liquid is evaporated by absorbing heat to become steam with low pressure, and then is sent to the inlet of the compressor, so as to complete the refrigeration cycle.
[0032] In the present application, the heat regenerator 8 comprises an inlet Ia, an outlet Ib, an inlet IIc and an outlet IId.
[0033] Preferably, in the present application, the outlet IId is connected with the inlet of the compressor 1, the outlet of the compressor 1 is connected with the inlet of the condenser 2, the outlet of the condenser 2 is connected with the inlet of the liquid accumulator 3, the outlet of the liquid accumulator 3 is connected with the inlet Ia, the outlet Ib is connected with the inlet of the drying filter 4, the outlet of the drying filter 4 is connected with the inlet of the liquid pipe sight glass 5, the outlet of the liquid pipe sight glass 5 is connected with the inlet of the evaporator 7, the outlet of the evaporator 7 is connected with the inlet IIc, and a refrigeration circuit is formed.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment, in the present application, the compressor 1 is a scroll structure compressor. That is, the component of the compressor for compressing the gaseous refrigerant is a dynamic and static scroll engagement for compression,
[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the heat regenerator 8 is arranged at the inlet end of the throttling device 6 at the outlet end of the condenser 2; and the heat regenerator 8 is arranged at the outlet end of the evaporator 7 and the inlet end of the compressor 1. The heat regenerator 8 has a low-temperature suction pipe and a high-temperature liquid pipe, the low-temperature suction pipe and the high-temperature liquid pipe realize heat exchange, and the liquid refrigerant in the suction pipe is evaporated. If there is liquid refrigerant (suction return of the compressor) in the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, the heat regenerator can realize heat exchange by absorbing the heat in the pipe of the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, so that the liquid refrigerant (suction return of the compressor) in the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is evaporated into gaseous refrigerant, and the suction of the compressor is ensured to be gaseous refrigerant.
[0036] As preferred, the refrigeration circuit realizes refrigeration by filling refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant is one of HCFC, HFC and HFO refrigerants. The HCFC, HFC and HFO refrigerants can not cause negative pressure in the refrigeration system according to the refrigerant characteristics at low evaporation temperature. The refrigeration cycle system can be specifically used in refrigeration systems such as ice machines and ice cream machines, in addition to being used in the refrigeration system of the compressor suction easy return liquid and large refrigerant charge amount of the freezing and refrigeration system. It can also be extended to semi-closed piston machines and screw machines, and can improve the energy efficiency of the system.
[0037] It can be understood that, in the system in the present application, the refrigerant realizes refrigeration through the processes of condenser-throttling device-evaporator-compressor compression. When the refrigeration system has vortex compressor suction liquid return, the compressor liquid compression and liquid refrigerant flushing lubricating oil film to cause lubrication failure are prone to occur. At this time, the regenerator device provided in the system can realize heat exchange between the low-temperature suction line and the high-temperature liquid line, evaporate the liquid refrigerant in the suction line, effectively ensure that the compressor suction is all gaseous refrigerant, and improve the reliability of the compressor.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
