Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat pump for a household appliance, in particular a laundry treatment appliance, comprising a compressor, a condenser, a restrictor, and an evaporator.
  • the invention further relates to a household appliance, in particular a laundry treatment appliance, comprising such heat pump.
  • a laundry dryer having a heat pump as specified typically comprises a refrigerant circuit and an air path.
  • the refrigerant circuit comprises the compressor, the condenser, the restrictor and the evaporator which are connected in series by refrigerant lines.
  • the refrigerant flows through the compressor, the condenser, the restrictor and the evaporator, in this order, and through the lines connecting these to one another.
  • the refrigerant releases heat to the process air as flowing through the air path by means of the condenser and extracts heat and humidity from the process air flowing through the air path by means of the evaporator.
  • the compressor converts mechanical power to thermal power by compressing the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit.
  • process air flows from a drum to the evaporator.
  • the air is at a medium temperature and relatively wet.
  • the air is cooled and dehumidified and then flows to the condenser where it is heated. Hot and dry air is then introduced again into the drum where it absorbs moisture from laundry contained in the drum.
  • the evaporator and the condenser are thus acting as heat exchangers having a refrigerant side and a process air side.
  • the evaporator and the condenser may be of a tube-and-fins type.
  • the tubes of the evaporator and the condenser may be separate entities as described in prior art documents WO 2008/004802 A3 , EP 2 261 416 A1 , EP 2 244 044 A2 and EP 1 593 770 B1 , or may be joined in a common core, as described in prior art document WO 2008/004802 A3 .
  • the tubes In frontal view parallel to the length of the tubes the tubes may be arranged in columns (or rows) each comprising several tubes. A distance between neighboring columns is called a 'longitudinal spacing', and a distance between neighboring tubes of one column is called a 'transversal spacing'.
  • Another typical construction of the evaporator and the condenser is the so-called aluminium single-tube type (no-frost type) in which an aluminium tube is bent and fins are placed along it without tube expansion.
  • An outer diameter of the tubes of the evaporator and the condenser used at present in a heat pump dryer are as follows: 3/8" (9.525 mm) and 7 mm for tube-and-fins type evaporators and condensers and 8 mm for aluminium single-tube type evaporator and condenser.
  • a laundry dryer comprising a heat pump has an improved efficiency (in terms of kWh/kg) as compared to a conventional laundry dryer only employing an electrical heater.
  • a related operational carbon dioxide emission of the laundry dryer comprising the heat pump is lower than that of a conventional dryer due to its lower electric consumption.
  • a refrigerant used in the heat pump must be taken into account with its GWP ('Global Warming Potential') which contributes to a total TEWI ('Total Equivalent Warming Impact') by direct or indirect emission of the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
  • GWP Global Warming Potential
  • TEWI Total Equivalent Warming Impact'
  • typical refrigerants used in a heat pump are fluorinated hydrocarbon compounds (HFC) whose GWP maybe as high as 1500, or even higher.
  • One possibility to reduce TEWI of these systems is to use hydrocarbon refrigerants that have low GWP like R-290 (propane) or R-1270 (propylene).
  • the main drawback of these refrigerants is that they are flammable and therefore IEC 60335-2-11 standard limits the maximum charge to 150 g of refrigerant in a laundry dryer. It is generally known that an optimum refrigerant charge can be found for a specific system, but the refrigerant limit of 150 g imposed by the IEC 60335-2-11 standard is typically lower than the optimum charge of refrigerant for a heat pump of a typical laundry dryer.
  • Efficiency is also affected by the compressor.
  • the efficiency of a rotary compressor is affected by different geometries of its components, including discharge and suction ports and rotor and cylinder geometries.
  • the variation of these geometries implies differences in mechanical frictions and in the thermodynamic behaviour of the refrigerant inside the compressor.
  • the losses in the compressor that determine its efficiency include the following: energy losses stemming from motor losses, friction losses, compression losses due to not ideal compression, valve losses due to gas pulsations and over-compression, and lubricant pumping losses, as well as mass flow losses stemming from clearance volume losses due to valve and cylinder head dimensions, leakage losses, back-flow-losses, suction gas heating losses due to a gas density at a cylinder inlet, and losses due to lubricant flow.
  • a heat pump for a household appliance in particular a laundry treatment appliance, comprising a compressor, a condenser, a restrictor, and an evaporator, that are connected in series by a refrigerant loop containing flammable refrigerant, wherein the condenser ('condenser coil') is of a tube-and-fin type with the tubes having an outer diameter of less than 7 mm.
  • This can even be achieved by having a quantity of flammable refrigerant of 150 grams or less within the heat pump.
  • the laundry treatment appliance may in particular be a laundry dryer.
  • the household appliance may also be a washing machine, a dishwasher, a cooling apparatus etc.
  • the condenser and the evaporator are typically arranged as heat exchangers, in particular refrigerant/air heat exchangers that are passed by process air of the household appliance.
  • the evaporator ('evaporator coil') is of a tube-and-fin type with the tubes having an outer diameter of 7 mm or less.
  • an outer diameter of the tubes of the condenser is about 6 mm or less, in particular 5,5 mm or less, in particular 5 mm or less.
  • a transversal spacing of the tubes of the condenser is 21 mm or less while a longitudinal spacing is 19 mm or less. This leads to a higher heat transfer from a refrigerant side to an air side by means of: increasing a convection coefficient at the air side, creating a good balance between pressure losses and a size of a secondary surface at the air side, allowing a cooling down of the refrigerant even at low charge (i.e. a higher subcooling), and reaching a proper condensation pressure. It may be preferred that this is also holds for the evaporator coil and its tubes.
  • a roller of the compressor has a height-to-radius ratio of 1.4 to 1.2, in particular smaller than 1.4.
  • the roller may in particular be shaped as a hollow cylinder with the height measured along its longitudinal axis. The radius is typically measured perpendicular from the longitudinal axis to an outer diameter of the cylinder.
  • a height-to-radius ratio of current rollers of rotary compressors used laundry dryers is between 1.7 and 1.5. It is a particular variant of the compressor according to the invention that the height-to-radius ratio is between 1.4 and 1.2.
  • an area of a discharge port of the compressor, in particular rotary compressor is 19.8 mm 2 (square millimeters) or higher. This also achieves an increased efficiency of the compressor (same cooling capacity with a lower power input) and by reducing a pressure drop in a discharge valve.
  • a displacement of the compressor is between 6 cc (cubic centimeters) and 9.5 cc. If the compressor displacement is bigger than 9.5 cc it might be required to increase a heating capacity at the condenser in order to enable proper dissipation of energy pumped from compressor. This would mean a higher condenser area and volume. This in turn, would require an increase in refrigerant charge in order to allow the condensation of the refrigerant in the condenser which is not desired due to the dryer safety standard limitation of 150 g for flammable refrigerants. If the compressor displacement is lower than 6 cc then the refrigerant mass flow rate will decrease so much that an energy transfer in the heat exchangers is negatively affected.
  • an oil quantity within the compressor is between 150 cc and 210 cc for improved performance. Particularly preferred is an oil quantity equal or less than 180 cc.
  • the oil in the compressor has a reduced solubility with the refrigerant.
  • solubility is lower than 35%. This in particular holds at a working point of the heat pump dryer at a pressure of about 26 bar (e.g. 26 +/- 0.5 bar) with a condensation pressure at 70°C) and a mix temperature of the oil and e.g. R290 of 80°C.
  • a proper combination of oil type and quantity of it increases the amount of available refrigerant in the heat exchangers and assures a good lubrication and internal leakage sealing at the compressor providing good volumetric efficiency.
  • This embodiment makes use of the fact that the main amount of the refrigerant of the heat pump is located in the condenser coil (because of a high inner volume of its coil and a relatively high density of the refrigerant) and in the compressor (where the refrigerant is mixed with oil).
  • the refrigerant inside the compressor that is mixed with oil is not available in the heat exchangers for energy transfer purpose. Therefore, the higher the amount of refrigerant mixed with oil inside the compressor, the less amount of refrigerant is available in the heat exchangers to reach the optimum working point (in particular under the regime of the 150g limitation of flammable refrigerants according to dryer standard IEC 60335-2-11).
  • the oil preferably has a kinematic viscosity.
  • a mixture viscosity between 1.5 mm2/s (cSt) and 4 mm2/s is preferred, in particular at the heat pump dryer working point.
  • the heat pump dryer working point may e.g. have a pressure of about 26 bar (having a condensation pressure at 70°C) and a mix temperature of oil and R290 of 80°C. That range of viscosity with higher values than previously used oils is preferred in order to assure good internal leakage sealing in the compressor (which is particularly preferred due to low density of R290) and therefore to improve compressor volumetric efficiency.
  • These high values of kinematic viscosity lead to higher friction losses (negative effect in compressor efficiency).
  • the overall situation is that the compressor efficiency is improved when oils with high kinematic viscosity are used.
  • PAG Polyalkylene Glycols
  • POE Polyolester Oils
  • the values refer to working parameters of the heat pump dryer at its working point, namely a pressure of about 26 bar (having a condensation pressure at 70°C and a mix temperature with R290, for example, of 80°C).
  • These oils have the advantage that they exhibit an advantageous value of oil kinematic viscosity that is preferred in order to assure good internal leakage sealing in order to improve compressor volumetric efficiency and therefore improve compressor efficiency.
  • They have the additional advantage that they have a relatively low solubility with the refrigerant compared to other typically used oils of the same types, like POE RB-68EP in heat pump dryer compressors.
  • Table1 shows a comparison among different oils mixed with R290 under the above mentioned conditions: Oil Mass of R290 in the mixture (%) Refrigerant mass in mixture (g) Mixture viscosity (mm2/s or cSt) PZ46M 18 32.08 2.7 PZ100S 30 53.46 3.8 POE RB-68EP 27 48.36 1.12 POE RB-P68EP 24 42.98 1.6 NM80EP 30 48.60 1.2 EXP-4437 33 59.10 0.45
  • a refrigerant of the vapour compression system of the heat pump is a flammable refrigerant, in particular R290 (propane).
  • R290 propane
  • any other suitable flammable refrigerant may be used, e.g. R-1270 (propylene).
  • propane is used as a refrigerant in conjunction with a condenser coil of the tube-and-fins type with the tubes having an outer diameter of 5 mm.
  • the evaporator coil is also of the tube-and-fins type with the tubes having an outer diameter of 7 mm.
  • the rotary compressor has a displacement smaller than 9.5 cc and higher than 6 cc.
  • the compressor comprises a roller having a height-to-radius ration between 1.40 and 1.20.
  • An area of the discharge port of the compressor is larger than 19.8 mm2.
  • a quantity of oil in the compressor is between 150cc and 210cc.
  • the type of oil is PAG PZ100S from Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. (or an equivalent); the type of oil is POE RB-P68EP from JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation (or an equivalent).
  • the transversal spacing of the tubes of the condenser coil is less than 21 mm while the longitudinal spacing is less than 19 mm. It is particularly preferred that the transversal spacing of the tubes of the condenser coil is about 19 mm (e.g. 19.05 mm) while the longitudinal spacing is about 16.5 mm.
  • the object of the invention is also achieved by a household appliance comprising the heat pump as described above.
  • the laundry treatment appliance may in particular be a laundry dryer, e.g. as a stand-alone apparatus or as a washing/drying combination.
  • the household appliance may also be a washing machine, a dishwasher, a cooling apparatus etc.
  • the invention allows using vapour compression or heat pump laundry dryers with hydrocarbons or any other flammable fluid as refrigerant having a low charge and a high efficiency.
  • Conventional solutions use a high volume in the refrigerant circuit (known solutions use 9.52 mm, 8 mm or 7 mm outer tube diameter heat exchangers with refrigerant loads higher than 190 g) and a high quantity of oil which has a high solubility with the refrigerant.
  • IEC 60335-2-11 of 150 g for flammable refrigerants it is not possible for the conventional solutions to have enough subcooling.
  • Fig.1 shows a laundry treatment appliance in form of a household tumble dryer H.
  • the tumble dryer H comprises a heat pump P having at least a compressor 1, a condenser 2 of a tube-and-fins type, a restrictor 3, and an evaporator 4 of a tube-and-fins type as elements.
  • the elements 1 to 4 are serially connected in the shown order by refrigerant pipes 5 to form a refrigerant circuit or path.
  • the tumble dryer H also comprises a process air circuit or path 6 wherein process air A flows.
  • the air circuit 6 comprises a rotatable drum 7 for holding laundry to be processed.
  • the air A leaves the drum 7 at a medium temperature and wet.
  • the air A then flows to the evaporator 4 that is placed in the air circuit A downstream the drum 7 and works as a heat exchanger.
  • the air A is cooled down and condenses.
  • the resultant condensate is collected in a water tank W.
  • the air A also cools down and transfers part of its thermal energy upon the evaporator 4 and thus onto the refrigerant R within the evaporator 4. This enables the evaporator 4 to transform the refrigerant R from a liquid state into a vaporous state.
  • the now dry and cool air A passes through the condenser 2 where a heat transfer from the condenser 2 and the refrigerant R, resp., to the air A is effected to heat up the air A and cool down the refrigerant R to its liquid state.
  • the then warm and dehumidified / dry air A is subsequently reintroduced into the drum 7 to warm up the clothes and to pick up moisture.
  • the refrigerant R is moved within the refrigerant circuit 1 to 5 by the compressor 1.
  • the refrigerant R is a flammable refrigerant, in particularly R290. An amount of the flammable refrigerant R is 150 g or less.
  • the evaporator 4 and the condenser 2 are thus used as heat exchangers.
  • Fig.2 shows a sectional top view onto a condenser 2 of the expanded tube and fins type.
  • the condenser 2 comprises five hairpin tubes 8 of basically the same 'U'-shape that have the same orientation and are aligned in the same direction.
  • the hairpin tubes 8 are shown in the same plane for the sake of simplicity, they are generally arranged in a three-dimensional structure.
