1 TARIFF HYBRID WITH CONDENSATION CONTROL AT LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES A cooling system with feed-in, redundant, and dynamic phase management. METHOD Technical Area 5 The invention describes a condensation-controlled, hybrid-fed, redundant system operating at low ambient temperatures. It relates to a dynamic phase-managed cooling system and method. State of the Art In the current state of the art, in conventional refrigeration cycles, the refrigerant is a Compressed by means of a compressor, it passes through a condenser unit at high pressure and temperature. It is sent here, where it is condensed and then passed through an expansion element. The water is passed through to the evaporator. In the evaporator, it absorbs the ambient heat and evaporates. The fluid completes the cycle by returning to the compressor suction line. This type in systems, especially during winter months or when low outdoor temperatures prevail In geographical regions, due to the increase in the heat transfer coefficient on the condenser surface, 15 the refrigerant transitioned to the liquid phase much faster and more intensely than expected, In other words, it is known that excessive condensation occurs. This excessive condensation takes place in the condenser. Condensation and cooling affect the critical pressure values on the high-pressure side of the system. This causes levels to fall below these values, in other words, it leads to a low-pressure blockage. Reducing the pressure difference between the condenser and the evaporator requires the expansion element to be 20 preventing stable operation and ensuring sufficient and homogeneous fluid supply to the evaporator. This prevents the process from being completed. As a result, the system operates unstably. Entering the operating regime, the compressor is damaged due to frequent start-stop movements (hunting). This is observed, and the overall system efficiency decreases significantly. There are various solutions to this problem in the current state of the art. 25 These include reducing or completely stopping the speed of the condenser fans. stopping, using condenser pressure control valves and compressor pressure methods such as laying hot gas bypass lines from the pipeline to the condenser outlet These solutions can be considered. However, the solutions mentioned also come with a number of technical disadvantages. It brings. Primarily, 30 based on fan control or conventional bypass arrangements. The methods focus solely on equalizing the mechanical pressure entering the evaporator. 2 dynamic instantaneous liquid-vapor phase distribution of the fluid and feed flow rate It does not allow for management. Furthermore, it is problematic in critical industrial applications and for data. in their centers, run through a single compressor or a single condenser block. Any malfunction during operations could shut down the entire system and cause significant production disruption. or is known to lead to business losses; since existing systems have redundant 5 There is no structure that would allow for work. In addition, the outside temperature... The main driving element for the fluid to complete its cycle even when its level is very low. as a result, compressors that consume high energy continuously continue to be used, whereas a fluid that has completely passed into the liquid phase and does not require high pressure It has been observed that the use of compressors in transportation leads to a significant energy loss. 10 On the other hand, in current systems, the condenser capacity is determined by a single shell or block. Due to being managed through it, the condenser can operate at partial loads or in extremely cold conditions. The inability to effectively divide the surface area makes precise temperature and condensation control difficult. This prevents it from being done. In the current state of the art, the refrigerant also cools at low ambient temperatures. pump-assisted freewheeling, which conveys water to the evaporator with the help of a pump instead of a compressor. Some applications referred to as refrigeration cycles are also known. However, These systems are either in compressor mode only or pump mode only, open- It appears to operate with a sharp transition via shut-off or diverter valves. This situation causes sudden pressure fluctuations in the system during mode transitions, evaporator 20 This leads to interruptions in the power supply and instabilities in the expansion elements. In summary, under the current state of the technology, depending on the changing external environmental load, both the compressor-expansion line and the pump line flow simultaneously at different rates. a flexible hybrid structure that offers simultaneous and dynamic phase and flow rate management. This is not the case. This situation means that system stability is 25 at low ambient temperatures. in terms of protection, reduction of energy consumption and ensuring business continuity its existence as an unsolved technical problem in the known state of the art It continues. In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions being the subject of discussion... Due to its shortcomings, an improvement in the relevant technical field is necessary. 30 It has been made. 3 Purpose of the Invention The invention was created by drawing inspiration from existing situations and overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks. It aims to solve the problem.

The aim of the invention is to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks by reducing low environmental impact. even at high temperatures, a continuous, stable and energy-efficient cooling cycle 10 to provide. Another objective of the invention is to increase the flow rate of the fluid in the evaporator feed line and the liquid-vapor ratio. an intelligent control unit that manages the phase ratio based on real-time sensor data, and dynamically controlling it via a variable speed pump, and thus The goal is to stabilize the evaporator feed under all operating conditions. 15 Another purpose of the invention is to create a primary compressor and a secondary compressor connected in parallel. by using a compressor to provide redundancy in critical components and thus even in the event of a malfunction or maintenance on one of the compressors The goal is to ensure the system operates without interruption. Another objective of the invention is to combine the condenser or heat exchanger structure with a primary heat exchanger and 20 By dividing it to have a second heat exchanger, the condenser capacity is reduced externally. to enable flexible management even at ambient temperatures; thus allowing for extreme The aim is to prevent condensation and the resulting pressure drop. Another aim of the invention is to create a safe environment where the ambient temperature is very low and the fluid is completely saturated. In operating conditions where it transitions to the liquid phase, 25 instead of high energy consuming compressors. by engaging a variable speed pump that consumes relatively less energy, the fluid to complete the cycle, thereby reducing the compressor load and the system's total energy The goal is to reduce consumption and improve the performance coefficient.

The preferred cooling system is a hybrid-fed, redundant, and dynamically phase-managed cooling system. Their structures are explained solely for the purpose of better understanding the subject. 20 The subject of the invention is a condensation-controlled, hybrid-fed, redundant system operating at low ambient temperatures. A dynamic phase-managed refrigeration system uses refrigerant as its basic structural component. compressing to reach high pressure and having redundant or capacity-sharing systems. a first compressor unit (1a) suitable for operation and a second compressor It houses the compressor unit (1b). The mentioned compressor units (1a, 1b) 25 On the discharge line, the oil circulating within the system is separated and transferred to the compressor crankcases. An oil separator (100) is positioned to enable its return. The system uses high-temperature and high-pressure gas coming from the compressor units (1a, 1b). Two components that can be connected in parallel or series to condense the fluid in its phase It has a segmented condenser / heat exchanger arrangement. The mentioned arrangement consists of a primary heat exchanger of 30°C. heat exchanger (2a) and a second heat exchanger (2b) and an evaporator (6) supporting them This occurs. Heat exchangers (2a, 2b) have a common connection among themselves. It is in fluid communication via the manifold (41). 6 The refrigerant that condenses into the liquid phase in the heat exchangers (2a, 2b) is transferred to a main return. by passing through the line (61) where the fluid is stored, phase separation is carried out and It is sent to a liquid storage and distribution center (4) where it is distributed to the system. Within the aforementioned liquid storage and distribution center (4), the liquid level inside is monitored instantly. There is a level sensor (102) that measures as 5 At the outlet of the liquid reservoir and distribution centre (4), the fluid feeds an evaporator (6) A hybrid supply structure is created by routing through two different functional lines for this purpose. It is formed by: The first line, or expansion line, reduces the pressure of the fluid. It contains an electronic expansion element (5) that conveys to the evaporator (6), this line It is opened by means of the first solenoid valve (103) and the second solenoid valve (104) 10 It can be shut off. The second line, the pump support line, carries the fluid in the liquid phase and at a high temperature. variable speed which can transmit directly to the evaporator (6) without needing mechanical pressure It includes a pump (7); the aforementioned pump (7) on the line prevents reverse flows. A check valve (105) is positioned for this purpose. The system also includes a direct transfer of hot gas from the compressor discharge line to the liquid tank and 15 by directing into the distribution centre (4) or into the auxiliary flow lines (12) within the system There is a dynamic bypass line that ensures pressure and temperature balance. This line flow control on it is via a bypass valve (106) which is proportional or on-off. This is being carried out. All mechanical and electronic components of the system are under high pressure. from sensor (107), low pressure sensor (108), condenser / heat exchanger temperature 20 from the sensor (109), evaporator temperature sensor (110), superheat temperature data from the sensor (111), level sensor (102) and flow sensor (112) by a smart control unit (13) that operates in real time and continuously It is managed. In a preferred configuration of the invention, the common manifold (41), electronic 25 common fluids coming from expansion element (5) line and pump (7) line directing through the junction manifold (41) to the evaporator (6) shell It is structured in a way that will provide this. In an alternative structure, the aforementioned lines, The evaporator (6) is directly connected to the evaporator (6) via separate inlets independent of each other. It can be arranged in such a way as to be connected. The system is designed so that the evaporator (6) outlet pressure is 30 If it falls below a predetermined threshold, it automatically switches to a low ambient temperature. switching to temperature-assisted operating mode, in other words, pump-assisted economy mode. It is structured in a way that will do so. 7 The cooling system described in this invention is designed to withstand varying ambient temperatures and load conditions. According to the smart control unit (13), it works with stable and high efficiency. This is achieved through a control algorithm. In the first step of this algorithm, a smart control unit (13), high pressure sensor (107), low pressure sensor (108), from superheat sensor (111), level sensor (102) and flow sensor (112) 5 It continuously scans and records the incoming data. In the next step, the first and second High pressure data from the heat exchanger (2a, 2b) outlet is sent to the intelligent control unit (13) This is compared against a predefined critical threshold value, for example, 12 bar. When the measured pressure exceeds the threshold value, the system switches to normal operating mode. it continues; when the measured pressure falls below the threshold value, the outside temperature is 10 It was determined that the ambient temperature was very low and excessive condensation had started, so the system was switched to a low-temperature environment. The temperature mode is being activated. In normal operating mode, the first compressor unit (1a) and / or the second The compressor unit (1b) is engaged as the main drive element and the heat exchangers (2a, 2b) All of these and their associated fans are operating effectively. The fluid is in the liquid tank 15 and after the outlet of the distribution centre (4) by the guidance of solenoid valves (103, 104) It is transmitted to the evaporator (6) by passing through the electronic expansion element (5) and The classic cooling cycle is carried out in this way. If the pressure remains below the threshold value, the intelligent control unit (13) sends a signal to the system. It is carrying out a two-stage intervention. In the first stage of this intervention, the second heat 20 By completely or partially disabling the changer (2b) and its associated fans, the total The condensation surface area is reduced, thus preventing excessive condensation and achieving high condensation levels. The pressure drop on the pressure side is being slowed down. In the second stage, dynamic bypass is used. By opening the bypass valve (106) on the line, the hot and high-pressure water coming out of the compressor is released. gas fluid, direct liquid storage and distribution via auxiliary flow lines (12) 25 The liquid is directed into the central (4) or to the condenser outlet; this allows the liquid to be directed into the reservoir. and instantaneous pressure and temperature of the liquid fluid inside the distribution centre (4) It is being balanced. The pressure difference between the first heat exchanger (2a) and the evaporator (6) is determined electronically. The expansion element (5) works stably on its own and the evaporator (6) 30 If the supply is insufficient, the intelligent control unit (13) will power the first and second Instead of completely shutting down the compressor unit (1a, 1b), it can be switched off according to the requirements of the external load. It can continue to operate at the minimum frequency. During this time, it operates at a variable speed. 8 The pump (7) is activated. The intelligent control unit (13) receives flow sensor (112) and According to the instantaneous data received from the superheat sensor (111), the fluid entering the evaporator (6) In order to improve the liquid / vapor phase ratio, electronic expansion with pump (7) line element (5) line at simultaneous and variable flow rates, i.e. in combined form It operates. The system depends on the external environmental conditions becoming completely stable. 5 by completely shutting down the compressor units (1a, 1b) and reducing the entire circulation load. It also has the flexibility to transfer to the pump (7). This simultaneous and incremental transfer structure, thermodynamic shocks and pressure drops that can occur during mode transitions It prevents blockages. When the pump (7) is running, the level sensor inside the liquid reservoir and distribution center (4) is 10 (102) When it detects that the liquid level has fallen below a critical value, the pump (7) In order to prevent cavitation from occurring by running without water, the pump (7) immediately is stopped and the system automatically restarts the electronic expansion element (5) line It is switched to safe mode so that it will feed power through. In addition, especially at low ambient temperatures and during transfers made with a pump (7), the flow is 15 Due to the decrease in speed, the compressor oil accumulated in the evaporator (6) returns In order to gain, the intelligent control unit (13) shortens the system at certain time periods. It switches to a high-flow oil sweeping mode for a short time. Through the oil separator (100) After the oil is returned to the compressors, the system returns to the data scanning step. It makes the loop continuous by rotating. 20 The system in question uses an evaporator (6) as both an expansion element (5) and a variable Thanks to its structure that can feed bi-directionally, i.e. in a hybrid manner, through the rotary pump (7), low pressure blockage experienced by conventional systems, especially in winter conditions It solves the problem. The mechanical compression work of the compressor units (1a, 1b) is completely solved. Instead of taking over, the kinetic energy of the liquefied fluid is transferred to a low-power pump (7) 25 Increasing the cycle to complete the process increases the total energy consumption across the system. It reduces and improves the system's performance coefficient. The application methods, parameters, and control steps given below constitute the subject of the invention. Examples have been provided to help to better understand the cooling system, This should not be interpreted as narrowing or restricting the scope of protection of the invention. 30 In a preferred configuration of the invention, the system described in the invention is fully operational. It dynamically executes its processes through the intelligent control unit (13). intelligent control unit (13); condenser / heat exchanger outlet pressure, evaporator pressure, 9 evaporator outlet temperature, superheat value of the fluid, liquid reservoir and distribution instantaneous fluid level of the fluid inside the center (4) and fluid on the main lines will use at least one of the flow rate parameters, or a combination of them, as input. It is structured in this way. The intelligent control unit (13) scans this input in real time. Depending on its parameters, the flow rate of the variable speed pump (7) is determined by the electronic expansion 5 proportional opening amount of element (5), first and second compressor unit (1a, 1b) operating / stopping or frequency conditions, the first and second heat exchangers (2a, 2b) in parallel, Serial or selective activation / deactivation states and dynamic bypass line It adjusts the opening rate of the bypass valve (106) on it in real time. Thus, the system has three basic characteristics depending on the external environment and internal load conditions. It has been developed to work in a way that minimizes compressor load and fluid low ambient temperature where transfer is mainly provided by variable speed pump (7) mode; used when the outside temperature is high or the cooling load is excessive. High load mode where compressor units (1a, 1b) are the main drive elements; and intermediate transition. With partial load conditions, both electronic expansion 15 determined by the intelligent control unit (13) of the element (5) and the pump (7) line Hybrid operating mode where variable speeds are operated simultaneously. The system's intermodal switching logic and dynamic bypass decision tree form the basis of the system's mechanics. It has been developed to maintain its stability. In normal operating mode, the evaporator (6) outlet 20 when the pressure is above a predefined safe threshold, preferably 12 bar. This mode is maintained; compressor units (1a, 1b) operate in capacity sharing, heat All exchangers (2a, 2b) are in operation and the evaporator (6) is supplied. It is carried out via an electronic expansion element (5). Low ambient temperature In this mode, the pressure value received from the high pressure sensor (107) is the threshold value. When the temperature drops below 25, and the phase of excessive condensation begins, the intelligent control unit (13) first detects 25 By closing the second heat exchanger (2b), the condensation surface is reduced. Simultaneously, By activating the dynamic bypass line and bypass valve (106), the hot air at the compressor outlet is reduced. The gas is pressed into the liquid storage and distribution center (4), so that the liquid temperature and liquid The internal pressure of the warehouse and distribution center is balanced. This is created by the compressors. When the pressure difference becomes insufficient for the evaporator feed, the pump (7) main flow 30 It is activated as a cavitation safety mode. In cavitation safety mode, the pump (7) to prevent mechanical damage to the pump due to cavitation while it is in operation In order to take into account the level sensor (102) inside the liquid reservoir and distribution center (4), it is instantaneous. It is monitored; as soon as the liquid level falls below the critical limit, the pump (7) is stopped and the flow is stopped. It is safely transferred to the fully electronic expansion element (5) line. Oil 35 In the sweeping algorithm, the coolant is used in pump-weighted or low flow rate modes. the compressor oil mixed into the fluid precipitates at the bottom of the evaporator (6) In order to prevent this, the smart control unit (13) temporarily disables the system at certain intervals. switching a compressor into a scavenging mode, in which the flow rate is rapidly increased, the oil, oil is recovered to the oil separator (100) and from there to the compressor crankcases 5 is provided. In a preferred configuration of the invention, the system subject to the invention is fluid management. It has a structure centered on liquid storage and distribution centre (4) in terms of; the liquid mentioned warehouse and distribution centre (4), functions as a liquid warehouse and flow distribution centre. It is seen. The first line branching off from the liquid reservoir and distribution centre (4) is electronic 10 The second line is connected to the first inlet of the evaporator (6) via the expansion element (5); then, via variable speed pump (7) to the second inlet of the evaporator (6) The compressor units (1a, 1b) outlets are routed after the oil separator (100). Passing through heat exchangers (2a, 2b) to the liquid reservoir and distribution centre (4) They are connected. Heat exchangers (2a, 2b), smart control unit (13) commands 15 in parallel, in series or independently selectively It has a valve infrastructure that can be operated. The dynamic bypass line, on the other hand, allows the system pressure to be controlled. For instantaneous balancing purposes, the liquid is directly connected to the condenser / heat exchanger outlet line. The warehouse and distribution centre (4) is located between the body or the inlet line. The system described in this invention makes significant contributions to the technology compared to conventional refrigeration cycles. Accordingly, the system provides evaporator (6) feed from the outside ambient temperature. It provides independent, uninterrupted flow stability and the liquid / vapor phase distribution of the fluid. It effectively controls the load according to the instantaneous condition. At low ambient temperatures. by reducing the compression ratios of the compressor units (1a, 1b) or by reducing the compressors By completely sealing them, they minimize mechanical load and wear. 25 Condenser / heat exchanger capacity of first heat exchanger (2a) and second heat exchanger (2b) By dividing it into two parts, it flexibly eliminates the risk of excessive condensation; critical in the components, namely the dual compressor, dual heat exchanger and dual supply line arrangement Thanks to the redundancy provided, system downtimes are prevented in case of failures. It offers uninterrupted operation. Furthermore, it provides high power even at low ambient temperatures. cycle of low power consuming variable speed pump (7) instead of consuming compressors Thanks to its completion, it reduces the system's total energy consumption and improves performance. It improves the coefficient. Finally, the dynamic bypass line and intelligent control unit (13) 11 Thanks to the algorithm run by [the company], the system pressure can be adjusted during sudden weather changes. It prevents low and high pressure blockages by maintaining stability within seconds. As shown in Figure 5, the dynamic bypass is performed by the intelligent control unit (13). control algorithm (600), real-time control of in-system pressure and phase balance It is operated within a cyclical decision tree structure to ensure this. The algorithm is a 5 The control loop starts with step (602), in which the intelligent control unit (13) monitors the parameters on the system continuously and in real time It is receiving. In the next step, a pressure sensing step (604) is performed, and in this step Data regarding system pressure (P_SYSTEM) and bypass line pressure (P_BYPASS) is available on the smart 10 system. The data obtained is read by the control unit (13). This data is displayed in a decision box. (606) between a predefined lower limit (P_MIN) and an upper limit (P_MAX) The generated range is compared with the desired range. The system pressure (P_SYSTEM) falls outside the desired range, i.e., the decision box... (606) If the "NO" branch is followed, the flow is a temperature sensing step (608a) 15 The system is being guided and an oil temperature (T_OIL) value is being read at this step. Then, a predetermined oil temperature (T_OIL) mentioned in a decision box (610a) whether it is within the desired range between the lower limit (T_MIN) and the upper limit (T_MAX) This is being questioned. If the oil temperature falls outside this range, a bypass ratio is required. By proceeding to adjustment step (612a), the flow rate directed to the bypass line is increased; 20 However, if the oil temperature is found to be within the desired range, then a By proceeding to the pump speed adjustment step (614a), the system pressure is restored. For this purpose, the speed of the pump (7) is adjusted. Determining that the system pressure (P_SYSTEM) is within the desired range, i.e., making a decision. If the "YES" branch of box (606) is followed, the flow is similarly a 25 is directed to the temperature sensing step (608b) and the oil temperature (T_OIL) is measured again. This value is read. This value is again the desired T_MIN–T_MAX in a decision box (610b). It is compared with a range. If the oil temperature falls outside this range, a By proceeding to the bypass ratio adjustment step (612b), the flow is now directed to the main line. In order to increase efficiency, the bypass ratio is reduced; the oil temperature is kept within the desired range of 30. If this is detected, then a pump speed adjustment step (614b) is taken, In order to increase the system efficiency, the speed of the pump (7) is improved. 12 Flows from four separate decision branches (612a, 614a, 612b, 614b) form a common decision. It is assembled in its box (616) and in this box there is no need for a change in the operating mode. It is being assessed whether it has been heard or not. It is determined that a change in approach is needed. If detected, the system will proceed to a mode change step (618), for example Normal operating mode, high load mode, or low ambient temperature (cooling) mode 5 It switches between them. It is determined that there is no need for a mode change. In this case, a step is taken in which the existing settings are preserved and monitoring continues (620) is operated. In both cases the flow reaches a cycle end step (622) and From the aforementioned step, the algorithm is rechecked for the next check cycle. By returning to the cycle initiation step (602), continuous and uninterrupted monitoring and intervention 10 It forms a cycle. The precise pressure of the bypass valve (106) located on the dynamic bypass line stabilization is performed within the intelligent control unit (13) by a PID control loop This is achieved through the condenser / heat exchanger in the aforementioned control loop. A target value for the outlet pressure, i.e., a reference pressure (P_set), is used for system operation. This is determined in advance according to the conditions. This reference pressure (P_set) is high pressure. Instantaneous condenser / heat exchanger outlet pressure (P_meas) measured via sensor (107) It is compared with the other and the difference is calculated as an error value (e). The resulting error value (e) is sent to a PID controller within the intelligent control unit (13). It is transmitted and the aforementioned PID controller consists of three separate computational branches. 20 The first of these is the product of the error value and a proportional gain coefficient (K_P). It is the proportional (P) branch that produces an output proportional to the instantaneous error. The second is the error value. by multiplying the integral over time by an integral gain factor (K_I), integral (I) that produces an output aimed at eliminating the persistent error that has become persistent It is a branch. The third is the derivative of the error value with respect to time, a derivative gain coefficient of 25. By multiplying by (K_D), it produces an output sensitive to the rate of change of the error, thus preventing sudden changes. It is the branch of derivatives (D) that dampens fluctuations in a predictive manner. The aforementioned proportional, By summing the outputs obtained from the integral and derivative branches, a control output (u) is obtained. is being done. The resulting control output (u) is transmitted to an actuator which drives the bypass valve (106). The aforementioned actuator reduces the opening ratio of the bypass valve (106) by percentage. The opening ratio of the bypass valve (106) adjusted in this way, It directly affects the condenser / cooling system and the system's output. 13 It changes the condenser pressure (P_meas). This changing pressure value is high. The pressure is re-measured by the pressure sensor (107) and fed back to the beginning of the cycle. And thus a closed-loop, continuously self-correcting control loop. is being created. In a preferred configuration of the invention, the aforementioned PID control loop, for example, 5 To maintain the condenser outlet pressure (P_meas) at a target value, the bypass valve (106) is structured to adjust in a continuous and proportional manner; thus, by the pressure and temperature-based decision tree structure described above (Figure 5) The defined bypass ratio targets are achieved through smooth and stable transitions via the PID controller. being carried out, avoiding sudden pressure spikes or excessive corrections 10 Mechanical and thermodynamic stresses that may arise are prevented. Thus, The combined use of proportional, integral, and derivative gains (K_P, K_I, K_D) in the system both quick response and consistently error-free operation with minimal oscillation. It provides these qualities simultaneously.
