Definitions
- This disclosure relates generally to vapor compression systems and, more particularly, to a combined vapor compression and vapor expansion system.
- transcritical refrigerants since transcritical systems have generally not had a condenser (but only a gas cooler), and therefore no liquid refrigerant available downstream of the gas cooler for pumping through the Rankine circuit.
- the expander requires a high entering pressure, but the high inlet pressure elevates the boiling temperature and the leaving temperature of the heating fluid carrying the thermal power. The elevated leaving temperature reduces the extent of the waste heat utilization. For those reasons the systems do not sufficiently utilize available thermal energy and, therefore have a low level of thermodynamic efficiency. Further, they do not provide an adequate performance when the available hot source is below 180 0 F.
- US Patent Application 07/ 18958 provides for a combined flow of refrigerant from the two systems at the discharge of the compressor and the expander, respectively.
- a suction accumulator is provided such that liquid refrigerant is always available to the pump in the Rankine cycle system such that transcritical operation is made possible.
- the pump power is defined by a product of pressure differential across the pump and the specific volume of the refrigerant stream at the pump inlet.
- the liquid in the suction accumulator has a low specific volume, the pump may be required to work against high pressure differentials.
- feeding of the pump with liquid refrigerant from the condenser is considered to be an advantage over the use of a suction accumulator.
- a combined vapor compression circuit and vapor expansion circuit includes a common refrigerant which enables a supercritical high pressure portion and a sub-critical low pressure portion of the vapor expansion circuit, and combines the refrigerant from the expander discharge and the compressor discharge at the entrance to the outdoor heat exchanger.
- the outdoor heat exchanger is so sized and designed that the refrigerant discharge therefrom is always in a liquid form so that it can flow directly to the vapor expansion circuit pump.
- the pump and expander are so sized and designed that the high pressure portion of the vapor expansion circuit is always super-critical.
- the outdoor heat exchanger includes a cooling tower to ensure that the refrigerant is converted to a liquid in the heat exchanger.
- a liquid to suction heat exchanger is provided between the outdoor heat exchanger and the pump in order to increase subcooling and refrigerant density prior to the refrigerant liquid's passing to the pump.
- a topping heat exchanger is provided downstream of the expander outlet for the purpose of regenerating enthalpy of the hot stream.
- a power generation vapor expansion circuit is used as a stand alone system and generates electrical power, which may be used as an electrical power supply for different purposes, including driving a refrigeration system.

- FIG. 14 is a schematic illustration of a thermally activated heat pump with an economized cycle.
- FIG. 15 is a schematic illustration of a thermally activated heat pump with a two-phase expander.
- a thermally activated refrigerant system incorporates a vapor compression circuit 21 shown as solid lines and a vapor expansion circuit 22 shown as dashed lines.
- the vapor compression circuit 21 includes a compressor 23, a condenser 24, a liquid-to-suction heat exchanger 26, an expansion device 27, and an evaporator 28.
- the vapor expansion circuit 22 consists of a pump 29, a topping heat exchanger 31, a heater 32, an expander 33, and the condenser 24.
- a refrigerant vapor stream at the outlet from the compressor and a vapor refrigerant stream at the outlet from the expander are connected at the condenser inlet to provide a combined flow through the condenser 24.
- the thermally activated refrigeration system has three pressure levels: a heating pressure, a heat rejection pressure level, and evaporating pressure.
- the heating pressure is the pump discharge pressure
- the heat rejection pressure is compressor or expander discharge
- the evaporating pressure is the compressor suction pressure.
- the heating and heat rejection pressures are high and low pressures of the vapor expansion circuit.
- the heat rejection and evaporating pressures are are high and low pressures of the vapor compression circuit
- One common working fluid is used for both the vapor compression and the vapor expansion circuits.
- the working fluid has the following feature: it provides super-critical operation for a high pressure portion of the vapor expansion circuit and a sub-critical operation for the low-pressure portion of the vapor expansion circuit.
- the working fluid in the vapor expansion circuit at the high pressure remains gaseous, but the working fluid in the condenser appears in the region to the left of the vapor dome and is liquefied.
- Examples of such working fluid are CO 2 or CO 2 based mixture, such as CO 2 and propane, or the like.
- the heater 32 provides a thermal contact between a heating medium and the pumped refrigerant stream.
- the heat source is a waste heat such as may be available from a fuel cell, a solar device, a micro-turbine, a reciprocating engine, or the like.
- Pressure in the heater is supercritical, that is, above the critical pressure of the refrigerant. This provides a favorable temperature glide compatible with a temperature glide of the heating medium shown on FIG. 2.
- the heater 32 should be designed to provide equality of heat capacity rates of both streams and enable the highest temperature differentials across each stream. The glides and equality of the heat capacity rates provide a higher extent of waste heat utilization and a high entering expander temperature, resulting in improved expander performance.
- the condenser 24 provides a thermal contact between a cooling medium and the combined refrigerant stream outgoing from the compressor 23 and expander 33.
- the temperature of the cooling medium in the condenser 24 is always maintained below the refrigerant critical point to enable refrigerant condensation at the heat rejection pressure, with the liquid refrigerant feeding the pump 29.
- the condenser 24 may be fed by a cooling tower 34 to ensure condensation of the refrigerant vapor.
- the heating pressure in the heater 32 is controlled by an expander-to- pump capacity ratio, which is defined by an expander-to-pump rotating speed ratio, a liquid refrigerant temperature at the pump inlet, and a vapor refrigerant state at the expander inlet.
- the liquid-to-suction heat exchanger 26 is optional. It slightly sub- cools a liquid stream outgoing from the condenser 24 and substantially superheats a vapor stream flowing from the evaporator 28. The subcooling reduces the pump power due to reduction of the refrigerant density at the pump inlet. Also, it increases the enthalpy difference across the evaporator 28 and increases the evaporator effect. The superheat decreases the refrigerant density at the compressor inlet and reduces the compressor mass flow rate and the evaporator capacity. The superheat effect is usually stronger and the overall effect is usually detrimental. Therefore, the liquid- to-suction heat exchanger 26 is only used if a certain superheat at the compressor inlet is required.
- the topping heat exchanger 31 substantially improves thermodynamic efficiency of the system when the hot source temperature is high. When the hot source temperature is low, the topping heat exchanger is not needed.
- Power generated in the expander 33 may drive the compressor 23 and the pump 29. All three machines may be placed on the same shaft. There is an option to couple the shaft with a power generator 36 to provide not only cooling or heating duty, but also electrical power.
- the expander 33 may be coupled with a power generator only, in which case the power generator 36 powers the compressor 23 and pump 29. In addition, optionally, it may generate supplemental electrical power.
- the vapor expansion circuit may be implemented as a separate power generation system. Power generated in the power generation system may be used to power a heat pump, air conditioner, refrigerator, or any other electrical device. [0040] All components sitting on the same shaft may be covered by a semi- hermetic or hermetic casing to reduce risk of leakage. [0041]
- the pump 29 may be a variable or multiple speed device or a constant speed device. Speed variation helps to satisfy the variable demands of refrigeration, air conditioning or heating.
- the T-S diagram is shown for both the vapor compression circuit 21 and the vapor expansion circuit 22 of FIG. 1, with the various points of interest in the two figures being shown by the numerals 1-12.
- the line 9-10 is representative of the temperature and enthalpy increases that occur as the working fluid passes through the heater 32.
- the alternate dash - dot line 37 is indicative of the T-S diagram for the cooled heating fluid passing through the heater 32.
- FIG. 3A Shown in FIG. 3A is a vapor expansion circuit which includes, in serial flow relationship a pump 38, a topping heat exchanger 39, a heater 41, an expander 42 and a condenser 43.
- FIG. 3B Shown in FIG. 3B is a T-S diagram for the FIG. 3A circuit when operating in a supercritical mode such as with CO 2 as the refrigerant.
- the numbers 1-8 in FIG. 3B correspond to the positions 1-8 in the FIG. 3A drawing.
- the line 3-4 in FIG. 3B represents the increases in temperature and enthalpy as the CO 2 passes through the heater 41, and the alternate dash and dot line 44 represents the T-S diagram for the cooled heating fluid. It will recognized that the "glide", or the slope of this line is substantial.
- the FIG. 3C illustration is a T-S diagram of the FIG. 3A circuit when operating in a subcritical mode, i.e.
- the glide/slope of the line 46 is substantially less than that of the line 44 in FIG. 3B.
- the vertical component of the two lines 44 and 46, as shown by the arrowed lines 47 and 48, respectively, show the degree of waste heat utilization of the two alternatives of FIGS. 3B and 3C.
- the line 47 extends downwardly further then the line 48 which, in turn, indicates that heat sources (state 7) at lower temperatures may be employed as long as the temperature in state 8 is below the temperature in state 7.
- temperatures below 180 0 F may be suitable, such as, for example, temperatures of 150 0 F.
- a two stage expander 49 is provided, as well as a second heater 51.
- the second heater 51 receives the heating fluid along line 52 and returns it to a point of the heater 32 by way of line 53.
- the temperature of the heating fluid in the heater 51 should be equal to the temperature of the point in the heater 32, where the line 53 is attached to.
- the refrigerant passes from the heater 32 to the first stage of the two stage expander 49 and then passes through the second heater 51, after which it passes through the second stage of the two stage expander 49, and then to the topping heat exchanger 31.
- the remainder of the circuit is as described above.
- FIG. 6 Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 6 wherein a second vapor compression circuit 54 is provided in parallel with the vapor compression circuit 21. This enables the system to provide for both air conditioning, i.e. by way of the second vapor compression circuit 54 and refrigeration, i.e. by way of the vapor compression circuit 21.
- the second vapor compression circuit 54 includes a second expansion device 56, a second evaporator or indoor unit 57 and a second compressor 58.
- the flow of refrigerant for that circuit originates upstream of the expansion device 27, and the discharge flow from the second compressor 58 is combined with the refrigerant flow from the topping heat exchanger 31 prior to the combination being combined with the flow from the discharge of the compressor 23.
- each of the vapor compression circuits 21 and 54 has its own compressor and evaporator unit, and all other components are shared between the two circuits. As will be seen both of the compressors are powered by the expander 33. [0049] If the condenser 24 is an outdoor unit and the evaporator 28 is an indoor unit then the thermally activated refrigerant system generates cooling. If the condenser is an indoor unit and the evaporator is an outdoor unit then the thermally activated refrigerant system generates heating. To switch between the two modes of operation, one or more reversing or check valves may be provided as shown in FIGS. 7-15.
- a pair of reversing valves 59 and 61 are provided as shown in FIG. 7. Further, in addition to the expansion device 27 that is operable for use in the cooling mode, a second expansion device 62 is provided for use in the heating mode.
- Each of the expansion devices 27 and 62 include a bypass valve, i.e. valves 63 and 64, respectively, to permit operation in the respective cooling and heating modes.
- the expansion devices 27 and 62 are single directional expansion devices. In order to switch between the cooling and heating modes, the reversing valves 59 and 61, and the bypass valves 63 and 64, are all operated simultaneously.
- a suction accumulator 66 maybe provided in order to satisfy the refrigerant charge demands for cooling and heating operation. Also, the suction accumulator 66 provides charge management and capacity control accumulating redundant amount of liquid refrigerant.
- a liquid-to-suction heat exchanger 67 may be provided as indicated.
- FIG. 8 A variation of the FIG. 7 system is shown in FIG. 8 wherein the two expansion devices are replaced by a single expansion device 68 which is designed for bi-directional use. Thus when switching between the cooling and heating modes, the single expansion device and the reversing valves 59 and 61 are all switched simultaneously.
- FIG. 9A the respective positions of the reversing valve 59 are shown to provide either cooling or heating operation.
- cooling the refrigerant passes from the reversing valve 59 through the heat exchanger 67, the expansion device 27, and then to the indoor unit.
- heating refrigerant passes from the reversing valve 59, through the heat exchanger 67, the expansion 27, and then to the outdoor unit.
- check valves maybe substituted to accomplish the same function.
- four check vales 71, 72, 73 and 74 are provided.
- the refrigerant passes through the check valve 71, the heat exchanger 67, the expansion device 27, and the check valve 73 to go to the indoor unit, with check valves 72 and 74 being closed.
- the check valves 71 and 73 are closed, and refrigerant passes through the check valve 74, the heat exchanger 67, the expansion device 27, and the check valve 72 to pass then to the outdoor unit.
- FIG.10 represents a case when two hot sources, high temperature and low temperature sources, are available.
- a second heater 74 utilizes the high temperature source.
- the heater 32 utilizes the low temperature source.
- FIG. 11 A further embodiment is shown in FIG. 11 wherein a multi-stage compressor 76 is provided. After passing through the first stage, the refrigerant passes through a gas cooler 77, and then through the second stage of the two stage compressor 76 before passing to the reversing valve 61 and the condenser 24. In this way, the total compressor power is reduced to thereby improve the thermodynamic efficiency of the compression circuit and therefore that of the total system.
- FIG. 12 provides an ejector 78 for boosting the flow of refrigerant vapor to the suction accumulator 66 to thereby improve the thermodynamic efficiencies of the vapor compression circuit and of the total system.
- the ejector 78 is driven by a high pressure stream along line 79 or, alternatively, from lines 81 or 82.
- the liquid-to-suction heat exchanger 67 is a mandatory component. The heat exchanger 67 provides completion of evaporation of liquid portion of the refrigerant stream outgoing from the ejector 78.
- FIG. 13 embodiment shows a heat pump with an ejector 83 being driven by high pressure refrigerant from line 84 or, alternatively, from line 86.
- the bi-directional expansion device 87 could be replaced by two one directional expansion devices, i.e. one for the indoor unit and another for the outdoor unit as it was shown above on FIG. 7.
- FIG. 14 Shown in FIG. 14 is an alternative embodiment that includes an economizer cycle which includes an economizing heat exchanger 88, an economizer expansion device 89, and a economizer port 91 leading into a mid-stage of the compressor 23.
- a further alternative may be that of a multi-stage compressor with intermediate vapor cooling. It is known that economized cycles improve performance characteristics of vapor compression cycles. The combined vapor compression and vapor expansion cycles improves with a better vapor compression cycle.
- FIG. 15 embodiment provides a two-phase expander 92 fluidly interconnected between an inlet to the pump 29 and the reversing valve 59 as shown. Its use tends to increase the cooling effect while recovering additional power to drive the cycle. This, in turn, reduces required pump size and pump power.
