In refrigeration system 100, compressor 102 and 104 compress refrigerant vapor also make compressed refrigerant vapour be delivered to condenser 106 by single pipeline.Compressor 102 and 104 output interconnect, so that mix in single pipeline from the compressed cold-producing medium vapour of each compressor 102 and 104, are transported to condenser 106 subsequently.In addition, have only in compressor 102 and 104 under the situation of compressor operation, other compressors 102 and 104 output are closed or are sealed by the valve (not shown), to prevent that cold-producing medium from passing through off- duty compressor 102 and 104 and refluxing.The compressor 102 and 104 preferably multistage capacity that has of any kind is exported, is the reciprocating type or scroll compressor of two or more discontinuous output capacity levels.Certainly, be contemplated that the present invention can use the compressor of any kind that two or more discontinuous output capacities can be provided.
In another embodiment of the present invention, can separately carry and keep separately from the compressed cold-producing medium vapours of each compressor 102 and 104 outputs, when the cold-producing medium vapour of output mixes in condenser 106 till.In another embodiment of the invention, can independently carry the refrigerant loop from the compressed cold-producing medium vapour of each compressor 102 and 104 outputs, promptly when cold-producing medium when the systemic circulation, do not mix with compressed cold-producing medium vapour from the compressed cold-producing medium vapour of a compressor from another compressor.In this embodiment, condenser in each loop and evaporimeter can have any suitable layout, cause when still keeping independently cold-producing medium circulation, carry out necessary heat exchange.
In Fig. 1, flow through or carry out heat exchange with the fluid of air or water preferably when flowing around the heat exchanger coil in the condenser 106 from the cold-producing medium vapour of compressor 102 and 104.As the result who carries out heat exchange with described fluid, the cold-producing medium vapour in the condenser 106 becomes refrigerant liquid through phase transformation.The liquid refrigerant that is condensed flows through expansion gear 110 (one or more) from condenser 106 and arrives evaporimeter 108.Expansion gear (one or more) 110 can be the suitable device that highly pressurised liquid is transformed into low pressure liquid and vapour of any kind of, for example expansion valve or capillary.
Then, according to the concrete configuration of refrigeration system 100, the output of expansion gear (one or more) 110 is offered one or more evaporimeters 108.Can according to the specific cooling requirement of refrigeration system 100 or output capacity demand (below will discuss in more detail) be closed one or more evaporimeters 108 or stop using.The valve (not shown) at the entrance and exit place by being arranged on each inactive evaporimeter 108 can prevent that refrigerant liquid and/or vapour from entering inactive evaporimeter 108.In another embodiment of the present invention, the pipeline that picks out from expansion gear 110 can be connected on the branch road that is provided with the suitable valve that links to each other with each evaporimeter 108.Branch road can be configured or operated to suitable evaporimeter 108 cold-producing medium is provided.Similarly, the output of evaporimeter 108 can be connected on the branch road that is provided with suitable valve, and this branch road only can be configured or operated to and provide the cold-producing medium vapour with single pipeline to compressor 102 and 104.No matter be on pipeline independently or on branch road, evaporimeter 108 stop using and closing all of valve can be controlled individually by central control system control or at each evaporimeter 108 place.
From the refrigerant liquid of expansion gear 110 with gasification streams is crossed or carry out heat exchange with the fluid of air preferably when flowing around the heat exchanger coil of the evaporimeter 108 of each operation, to reduce the temperature of air.Owing to carry out heat exchange with air, the refrigerant liquid phase transformation in the evaporimeter 108 becomes refrigerant vapour.Cold-producing medium vapour in the evaporimeter 108 flows out evaporimeter 108 and turns back to compressor 102 and 104 by common pall by air-breathing connector, thereby finishes circulation.The quantity of the evaporimeter 108 in refrigeration system 100 can change to N from one, wherein N preferably with the corresponding number (below will discuss in more detail) of maximum progression of the classification output of compressor 102 and 104.But in another embodiment of the present invention, the quantity of evaporimeter can be greater than the progression of the classification of compressor 102 and 104 output, and promptly N is greater than the maximum progression of classification output.In this embodiment, because the quantity of the sum of series evaporimeter of classification output is identical in this embodiment, the output of evaporimeter and the output of compressor do not match.For example, if compressor shown in Figure 1 102 and 104 is two dual capacity, then N is preferably eight (referring to Fig. 2), and eight (perhaps can be more) evaporimeters 108 can be set in refrigeration system 100.
In another embodiment of the present invention, can increase the platform number of compressor 102 and 104 and/or the capacity number that provides by each compressor 102 and 104 can be provided, offer the total amount (below will discuss in more detail) of the classification output capacity of refrigeration system 100 with increase.Correspondingly, because output capacity progression increases,, thereby can keep the best ratio of an evaporimeter and a kind of output capacity level so the evaporimeter 108 that can be used in the refrigeration system 100 is in optimal number (N).
Control panel 140 has A/D converter, to receive the input signal from symbol system 100 performances of system 100 preferablyly.Control panel 140 also has interface board, signal being transferred to the parts of system 100, thus the operation of control system 100.For example, control panel 140 can transmit signal with quantity that controls the evaporimeter that moves and the operation of controlling compressor 102 and 104.Control panel 140 also can comprise many further feature and parts of not discussing here.So that discuss, have a mind to omit these features and parts for simplifying control panel 140.

When adding other compressor in refrigeration system 100, control system of the present invention (and the control flow chart among Fig. 2) will be expanded, so that provide additional control configuration for new compressor (one or many).For example, other new compressor can produce the newly-increased level of the first order output that is used for new compressor and second level output and newly-increased grade that the output of new compressor and compressor 102 and 104 one or two s' output is combined.Similarly, if replace one of compressor 102 and 104 with multistage capacity compressor with three kinds or more kinds of discontinuous output capacities, control system then of the present invention (and the control flow chart among Fig. 2) will be expanded, so that dispose for the new compressor capacity provides additional control.
In order to further specify the operation of control system of the present invention, the output capacity level of Fig. 2 is applied to several different compressors 102 and 104 configuration.Fig. 3 provides the output capacity of eight grades each grade that is used for four kinds of different compressor configuration.These four kinds of different compressor configuration comprise: a compressor provide total system capacity 40%, other compressor provides 60% configuration of total system capacity, for example capacity is the compressor that two tons compressor and capacity are three tons; One compressor provide total system capacity 30%, other compressor provides 70% configuration of total system capacity, for example capacity is the compressor that one ton compressor and capacity are two and 1/3rd tons; One compressor provide total system capacity 20%, other compressor provides 80% configuration of total system capacity, for example capacity is the compressor that one ton compressor and capacity are four tons; And every compressor all provides 50% configuration of total system capacity, and for example a pair of capacity is two tons a compressor.
As can be seen from Figure 3, if adopt the compressor 102 and 104 of the different capabilities have control system of the present invention, can produce eight kinds of different output capacities by eight grades or eight kinds of configurations.Yet,, can only produce four kinds of different output capacities by eight grades or eight kinds of configurations if adopt compressor 102 and 104 with identical output capacity.This is because the identical output capacity of some grades generation.Therefore, in preferred implementation of the present invention, compressor 102 and 104 has different output capacities, so that obtain maximum output capacity levels.Can be according to the minimum and maximum demand of refrigeration system 100 and specific total output capacity of and selection compressor 102 and 104 definite according to the specific output capacity level of user's expectation.
