Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
The various aspects and embodiments relate to an ejector for increasing pressure in a refrigerant, provided in a vapour-compression refrigeration system.
BACKGROUND
Conventional vapour-compression refrigeration systems comprise a closed loop system for a refrigerant, with a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator. If used with chlorofluorocarbons, such systems are able to operate at sufficient efficiency. However, these refrigerants are prohibited in a lot of countries, or their use is heavily discouraged. For efficient use of more environmentally friendly refrigerants, e.g. CO2, additional measures are required for operating at a feasible efficiency level. To increase efficiency of such systems, ejectors are used for increasing pressure in a vapour-compression refrigeration system.
An ejector is a passive component comprising a nozzle for providing a first mass stream of refrigerant at a high speed. The high speed refrigerant flow is provided to a suction chamber, in which a second mass flow is available. Due to the high speed, the first mass stream takes along the second mass stream towards a mixing chamber. Gradually, the speed of the mass flows mixing into a third mass flow decreases until below the speed of sound, at which point a shock wave occurs and pressure increases significantly.
Ejectors are suitable for pressure increase in refrigerant flows having a substantially constant mass flow. At lower or higher mass flows, efficiency of an ejector decreases. With requirements for refrigerant supply varying due to variations in demand for cooling, there is a demand for adjustable ejectors. NL1041046 discloses an adjustable ejector. A flow-through area of a nozzle may be adjusted by inserting a needle in the nozzle. The needle has to be provided in the exact middle of the nozzle to prevent unwanted turbulence and other flow disturbances that affect the efficiency of the ejector. Despite precise machining, this is difficult to establish.
SUMMARY
It is preferred to provide an ejector that may be adjusted to work efficiently at different mass flow rates of refrigerant. A first aspect provides an ejector, comprising a first motive nozzle module, arranged to provide a first mass flow, and comprising a first motive nozzle, provided at a downstream side of the first motive nozzle module, and comprising at the downstream side a first flow-through area, a suction chamber, arranged to provide a second mass flow and a mixing chamber, provided downstream of the motive nozzle module and the suction chamber, arranged to mix mass from the first mass flow and the second mass flow into a third mass flow. The ejector further comprises a second motive nozzle module, comprising a second motive nozzle, provided upstream of the first motive nozzle and comprising at the downstream side a second flow-through area which is smaller than the first flow-through area. The second motive nozzle module is arranged to translate over an axis of the first motive nozzle module between a first position in which at least a substantive part of the first mass flow is enabled to flow through the first motive nozzle without passing through the second motive nozzle and a second position in which substantially all of the first mass flow is enabled to flow through the second motive nozzle.
This ejector allows the flow-through area of the motive nozzle to be controlled, thus adapting the ejector to mass flows with varying magnitudes. A particular advantage is use of the ejector according to this aspect removes the need for inserting of a needle. This allows a smoother flow of mass through the ejector, resulting in less turbulences and improved efficiency.
In an embodiment, the second position is a downstream position, wherein in the second position the second motive nozzle module substantially seals off a boundary between an inner wall of the first motive nozzle module and an outer wall of the second motive nozzle module providing a flow path for substantially all of the first mass flow through the second motive nozzle. This embodiment ensures all of the first mass flow flows through the smaller second orifice - motive nozzle - of the second motive nozzle module, without leaking through any boundary between the first motive nozzle module and the second motive nozzle module.
Another embodiment comprises a third motive nozzle module, comprising a third motive nozzle and a third flow-through area at a downstream end of the third motive nozzle module which is smaller than the second flow though area, wherein the third motive nozzle module is arranged to translate over an axis of the second motive nozzle module between a first position in which at least a substantive part of the first mass flow is enabled to flow through the second motive nozzle without passing through the third motive nozzle and a second position in which substantially all of the first mass flow is enabled to flow through the third motive nozzle.
This embodiment provides more accuracy and freedom for improving efficiency. A further embodiment comprises a first urging element, arranged to urge the second motive nozzle module upstream of the first motive nozzle module. This embodiment may require only one actuator for moving the second motive nozzle downstream, which increases design freedom and allows a more compact design.
In again another embodiment, the second motive nozzle module comprises one or more through holes that are arranged to provide an additional flow path to the first motive nozzle in addition to the flow path through the second motive nozzle. In this embodiment, the first mass flow is provided with a large flow path upstream of the motive nozzle orifice, decreasing any disturbances and improving efficiency.
In again a further embodiment, any motive nozzle comprises a tapered section downstream of the minimal flow-through area comprised by the respective motive nozzle module, wherein in the tapered section the flow-through area increases downstream of the motive nozzle. The ejector according to this embodiment allows a more free flow of fluid after leaving an orifice of the respective motive nozzle module, improving efficiency.
In yet another embodiment, at least part of the outer shape of the second motive nozzle module corresponds to at least part of the inner shape of the first motive nozzle module. This allows compact nesting of the second motive nozzle module in the first motive nozzle module. A second aspect provides a refrigeration system, comprising an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser an expansion valve, preferably, a liquid separator and an ejector according to the first aspect or any embodiment thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Figure 1, shows an embodiment of an ejector 100, comprising an ejector housing 102, a first motive nozzle module 200, a suction chamber 110, a mixing chamber 300, and a control module 310.
The first motive nozzle module 200 further comprises, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, a second motive nozzle module 220 and a third motive nozzle module 230. The third motive nozzle module 230 is nested in the second motive nozzle module 220, and the second motive nozzle module 220 is nested in the first motive nozzle module 200. The first motive nozzle module 200, the second motive nozzle module 220, and the third motive nozzle module 230 all comprise one or more through holes 225. The through holes 225 may be provided in a cylindrical part of the motive nozzle modules, or, alternatively or additionally, in a conical part converging downstream of the motive nozzle modules. Additionally, the first motive nozzle module 200, the second motive nozzle module 220, and the third motive nozzle module 230 are arranged to translate over an ejector axis 101.
The first motive nozzle module 200 is in an embodiment provided with a flange 210, which protrudes outward from an external surface of the first motive nozzle module 200. The ejector housing 102 is provided with a flange chamber 212, arranged to retain the flange 210. The flange chamber 212 is provided with an upstream chamber 216 and a downstream chamber 214. The ejector housing 102 comprises an upstream wall 217 and a downstream wall 215. The upstream wall 217 and the downstream wall 215 are arranged to constrain the translating movement of the first motive nozzle module 200 over the ejector axis 101 between an upstream position, as shown in Fig. 3B, and a downstream position, as shown in Fig. 3D.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, at least one of the second motive nozzle module 220 and the third motive nozzle module 230 are arranged to be mechanically connected to a motive nozzle module insert actuator 202, as shown in Fig. 2A. The motive nozzle module insert actuator 202 is in turn attached to the ejector housing 102 as shown in Fig. 1.
In an embodiment of the ejector 100 which comprises additional motive nozzle modules, additional to the second motive nozzle module 220 and the third motive nozzle module 230, the additional motive nozzle modules are also arranged to translate relative to a first motive nozzle 211. In the embodiment of the ejector 100 which comprises additional motive nozzle modules, all subsequent motive nozzle modules are arranged to be nested in one another.
The control module 310 is arranged to at least partially be provided in the mixing chamber 300. The control module 310 comprises a holding unit 318, a control module actuator 320, a control shaft 316, and a control body 312. The control body 312 is arranged to be translated over an axis 315 of the mixing chamber, and comprises a tip 314 and a tapered section 313. The mixing chamber 300 comprises a mixing conduit 302, and an inner wall 303.
The ejector 100 is arranged to be provided with a first mass flow at an upstream side. The suction chamber 110 is arranged to be provided with a second mass flow, and the mixing chamber 300 is arranged to mix the first mass flow and the second mass flow into a third mass flow. In all the figures, mass flows from left to right. By virtue of the high pressure of the first mass flow, the low pressure second mass flow from the suction chamber 110 is sucked into the mixing chamber 300. The third mass flow, which combines the first mass flow and the second mass flow, than has a pressure higher than the low pressure of the second mass flow.
The ejector 100 is arranged to be operated in a refrigeration system under varying working loads, depending e.g. on an ambient temperature and on various heat loads acting on the refrigeration system. In order to have the refrigeration system operating as efficient as possible, the ejector 100 is arranged to have three parameters controlled.
First, the size of a minimal flow-through area for the first mass flow can be controlled by inserting one or more motive nozzle modules in the first motive nozzle module 200 as each motive nozzle module has a different sized flow-through opening. Next, the distance between the first motive nozzle 211 and the mixing chamber 300 can be controlled by translating at least one of the first motive nozzle module 200 and the mixing chamber 300 over the ejector axis 101. Finally, the flow-through area for the third mass flow can be altered by translating the control body 312 over the mixing chamber axis 315. With the ability to control the flow-through area for the third mass flow, the pressure in the mixing chamber 300 and the speed of the third mass flow can be controlled. A too high pressure in the mixing chamber 300 combined with a too low speed of the third mass flow can cause the direction of the third mass flow to reverse, causing the third mass flow to flow back into the suction chamber 110. This effect can be prevented by translating the control body 312 over the mixing chamber axis 315 to another position wherein the flow-through area for the third mass flow is larger.
In the embodiment of the ejector 100 as shown in Fig. 1, the mixing chamber 300 is provided with the control module 310, comprising the control body 312. The control body 312 is attached to the control shaft 316, which in turn is attached to the holding unit 318. The holding unit 318 is arranged to attach the control module 310 to the ejector housing 102, such that the control module actuator 320 may translate the control body 312 relative to the ejector housing 102 over an axis 315 of the mixing chamber. The position of the control body 312 in the mixing chamber 300 determines, when the third mass flow has a speed higher than Mach 1, where in the mixing chamber 300 a standing shock wave occurs due to a decrease in flow speed over the control body 312 below Mach 1, the speed of sound. If the speed of the third mass flow is above Mach 1, a narrowing of the flow path of the third mass flow due to the control body 312 results in a decrease of the speed of the third mass flow. At the point in the mixing chamber where the speed of the third mass flow drops below Mach 1, a standing shockwave or a sonic boom occurs, resulting in an increase in pressure at the location of the standing shockwave. The pressure in the part of the third mass flow with a speed below Mach 1 increases as the flow-through area of the flow path of the third mass flow increases.
Fig. 2A shows a detailed view of the first motive nozzle module 200 as part of the ejector of Fig. 1. The first motive nozzle module 200 comprises the first motive nozzle 211, which comprises a first minimal flow through area 261. Additionally inserted in the first motive nozzle module 200 are the second motive nozzle module 220 and the third motive nozzle module 230. The second motive nozzle module 220 comprises a second motive nozzle 221, which comprises a second minimal flow-through area 262. The third motive nozzle module 230 comprises a third motive nozzle 231, which comprises a third minimal flow-through area 263. Preferably, the third minimal flow-through area 263 comprised by the third motive nozzle 231 is a smaller flow-through area than the second minimal flow-through area 262 comprised by the second motive nozzle 221, which in turn is a smaller flow-through area than the first minimal flow-through area 261 comprised by the first motive nozzle 211.
The motive nozzle modules may be provided with an additional tapered section at the downstream side of the minimal flow-through area of the motive nozzle module, downstream of the first mass flow. Respectively, a first additional section 241 for the first motive nozzle module 200, a second additional section 242 for the second motive nozzle module 220, and a third additional section 243 for the third motive nozzle module 230 are provided. All three additional sections are tapered such that the flow-through area increases towards the side downstream of the first mass flow.
Between an inner wall 206 of the first motive nozzle module and an outer wall 226 of the second motive nozzle module, a first urging element 223 may be provided, arranged to urge the second motive nozzle module 220 upstream of the first motive nozzle module 200. In an alternative embodiment, the first urging element 223 is provided upstream of the second motive nozzle module 220. A second urging element 233 may be provided between an inner wall of the second motive nozzle module 220 and an outer wall of the third motive nozzle module 230. The second urging element 233 is arranged to urge the third motive nozzle module 230 upstream of the second motive nozzle module 220. In an additional embodiment, the second urging element 233 may also be provided upstream of the third motive nozzle module 230. The first urging element 223 and the second urging element 233 may comprise a helical spring, wave spring, compression spring, extension spring, Belleville spring, any other urging element, or any combination thereof.
In an embodiment, a stiffness, e.g. measured in N/nnn, of the first urging element 223 is lower than a stiffness of the second urging element 233. The stiffness of the first urging element 223 is preferably two times less stiff than the second urging element 233, more preferably five times less stiff, even more preferably ten or more times less stiff. This allows a single motive nozzle module insert actuator 202 to operate the translation of both the second motive nozzle module 220 and the third motive nozzle module 230.
Upon actuation, the first urging element 223 is significantly more compressed than the second urging element 233, causing the second motive nozzle module 220 to abut the first motive nozzle module 200 first. When the second motive nozzle module 220 abuts the first motive nozzle module 210, the minimal flow-through area for the first mass flows is decreased from the first minimal flow-through area 261 to the second minimal flow-through area 262. After the second motive nozzle module 220 has abutted the first motive nozzle module 200, the second urging element 233 is compressed and the third motive nozzle module 230 abuts the second motive nozzle module 220, as shown respectively in Fig. 2A, 2B, and 2C.
When the third motive nozzle module 230 abuts the second motive nozzle module 220, the minimal flow-through area for the first mass flow is decreased from the second minimal flow-through area 262 to the third minimal flow-through area 263. Thus, the addition of additional motive nozzle modules to the first motive nozzle module 200 allows a stepwise control of the minimal flow-through area for the first mass flow. On the one hand, a decrease in minimal flow-through area for the first mass flow decreases the speed of the first mass flow and hence increases the pressure of the first mass flow at the minimal flow-through area. On the other hand, an increase of the minimal flow-through area for the first mass flow increases the speed of the first mass flow and hence decreases the pressure of the first mass flow at the minimal flow-through area of the first mass flow.
In another embodiment of the ejector 100, the first urging element 223 is arranged to urge the second motive nozzle module 220 downstream towards the first motive nozzle module 200, and the second urging element 233 is arranged to urge the third motive nozzle module 230 downstream towards the second motive nozzle 221. The motive nozzle module insert actuator 202 is in this embodiment arranged to provide an upstream force to at least one of the second motive nozzle module 220 and the third motive nozzle module 230.
Likewise, in another alternative that may be combined with the latter, the second motive nozzle module 220 may be left at the most downstream position in the first motive nozzle module 200, while the third motive nozzle module 230 is moved upstream, by means of an urging element, an actuator, other, or a combination thereof. As an option, the third motive nozzle module 230 may remain nested in the second motive nozzle module 220 during this movement and, optionally, be moved out of the second motive nozzle module 220 at a later moment, by means of an urging element, an actuator, other, or a combination thereof.
In a further embodiment, the second motive nozzle module 220 comprises one or more through holes 225. Additionally, the third motive nozzle 231 comprises one or more through holes 225. These through holes 225 are arranged to provide an additional flow path for the first mass flow to the first motive nozzle 211, in addition to the flow path through the second motive nozzle 221 and the third motive nozzle 231. With this configuration, it is possible to provide the first mass flow with different minimal flow-through areas, depending on the position of the second motive nozzle module 220 and the third motive nozzle module 230 in the first motive nozzle module 200.
The through holes 225 comprised by the second motive nozzle module 220 are provided in at least one of a straight section of the second motive nozzle module 220, and a tapered section of the second motive nozzle module 220, as shown in Fig. 2A. Similarly for the third motive nozzle module 230, the through holes 225 comprised by the third motive nozzle module 230 are provided at least in one of a straight section and a tapered section of the third motive nozzle module 230. Preferably, the through holes 225 are provided axisymmetric around the axis 101 of the ejector.
The motive nozzle module insert actuator 202, arranged to provide translation for at least one of the second motive nozzle module 220 and the third motive nozzle module 230 may be of a pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, electromechanical type, any other type, or any combination thereof. The motive nozzle module insert actuator 202 is connected to the third motive nozzle module 230. In an additional embodiment, the motive nozzle module insert actuator 202 may be connected to at least one of the second motive nozzle module 220 and the third motive nozzle 231.
Furthermore, the second motive nozzle module 220 comprises a second motive nozzle module inner wall 227 and a second motive nozzle module outer wall 226. The third motive nozzle module 230 comprises a third motive nozzle module outer wall 236. Fig. 2B shows the second motive nozzle module 220 in a downstream position, wherein the second motive nozzle module 220 is arranged to substantially seal off the flow path between the outer wall 226 of the second motive nozzle module and the inner wall 206 of the first motive nozzle module 200. In a preferred embodiment, the shape of at least part of the second motive nozzle module 220 corresponds to a shape of the inner wall 206 of the first motive nozzle module 206.
In another embodiment, the outer wall 226 of the second motive nozzle module may be provided with a thread corresponding to a thread provided in the inner wall 206 of the first motive nozzle module. By providing a motive nozzle module insert actuator 202 that is arranged to rotate the second motive nozzle module 220, the second motive nozzle module 220 is arranged to translate over the ejector axis 101 inside the first motive nozzle module 200. A similar arrangement can be envisioned for subsequent additional motive nozzle modules provided inside the second motive nozzle module 220.
Fig. 2C shows the third motive nozzle module 230 in a downstream position, wherein the third motive nozzle module 230 is arranged to substantially seal off a flow path between the outer wall 236 of the third motive nozzle module 230 and the inner wall 227 of the second motive nozzle module 220. In a preferred embodiment, at least part of an outer shape of the third motive nozzle module 230 corresponds to a shape of the inner wall 227 of the second motive nozzle module 220.
Fig. 3A shows a detailed view of the first motive nozzle module 200 as part of the ejector 100 as shown in Fig. 1. The first motive nozzle module 200 comprises the flange 210, arranged to extend outwardly from the exterior of the first motive nozzle module 200. Additionally, the ejector housing 102 comprises the flange chamber 212, arranged to receive the flange 210 between an upstream position and a downstream position. The flange chamber 212 comprises the downstream chamber 214 and the upstream chamber 216. The flange 210, in a downstream position, abuts the downstream wall 215 comprised by the ejector housing 102. In an upstream position, the flange 210 abuts the upstream wall 217 comprised by the ejector housing 102.
In an additional embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3B, the downstream chamber 214 is provided with a downstream fluid inlet 244 and a downstream fluid outlet 245. In another embodiment of the ejector housing 102, the downstream fluid inlet 244 and the downstream fluid outlet 245 are combined in the same conduit. Additionally, the ejector 100 is provided with an external fluid source 213, in fluid connection with the downstream fluid inlet 244. The external fluid source 213 may additionally comprise a pumping device for providing pressurized fluid to the downstream fluid inlet 244. Upon pressurisation of the downstream chamber 214, the pressure in the downstream chamber 214 becomes higher than the pressure in the upstream chamber 216. This, in turn, causes the first motive nozzle module 200 to translate upstream. A pressurisation of the upstream chamber 216, in e.g. an embodiment of the ejector as shown in Fig. 3C and Fig. 3E, to a higher pressure than the pressure in the downstream chamber 214 causes the first motive nozzle module 200 to translate downstream. A difference between a force applied to a downstream side of the flange 210 and an upstream side of the flange 210 will cause the first motive nozzle module to translate 200. As the force applied to a surface depends on the area of the surface and the pressure at that surface, one can design a first motive nozzle module 200 with a different surface area at the downstream side of the flange 210 than the surface area at the upstream side of the flange. In such a configuration, different pressures may be applied at the upstream side of the flange 210 and the downstream side of the flange 210 for translating the first motive nozzle module 200.
Fig. 3C shows an additional embodiment of the ejector housing 102 and the first motive nozzle module 200, wherein the downstream chamber 214 is arranged to be in fluid connection with the first mass flow, provided upstream of the first motive nozzle 211. In this embodiment, the pressure of the first mass flow may be used to translate the first motive nozzle module 200 to the upstream position. The first mass flow can either be provided directly to the downstream chamber 214, or indirectly. An indirect connection between the first mass flow and the downstream chamber 214 may comprise a piston, bellow, pressure vessel, membrane, other connecting element, or any combination thereof.
Fig. 3E shows the first motive nozzle module 200 in the downstream position. In an additional embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3D, the ejector 100 further comprises the external fluid source 213, which is arranged to be in fluid connection with an upstream chamber fluid inlet 246.
