Definitions
- the invention relates generally to air conditioning and refrigeration systems and, more particularly, to an air conditioning and refrigeration system that enables the use of immiscible oil.
- refrigerant vapor from an evaporator is drawn in by a compressor, which then delivers the compressed refrigerant to a condenser (or a gas cooler for transcritical applications).
- a condenser heat is exchanged between a secondary fluid, such as air or water, and the refrigerant.
- the refrigerant typically in a liquid state passes to an expansion device, where the refrigerant is expanded to a lower pressure and temperature before being provided to the evaporator.
- air conditioning applications heat is exchanged within the evaporator between the refrigerant and air or another secondary fluid, such as water, glycol, or brine for example, to condition the indoor air of a space.
- the refrigerant compressor since the refrigerant compressor necessarily involves moving parts, it is typically required to provide lubrication to these parts by means of lubricating oil that is mixed with or entrained in the refrigerant passing through the compressor.
- lubricating oil that is mixed with or entrained in the refrigerant passing through the compressor.
- the lubricant is normally not useful within the system other than in the compressor, its presence in low concentrations in the system does not generally detract from the flow, heat transfer, and properties of the refrigerant as it passes through the system in a conventional vapor compression cycle.
- a heat exchanger such as direct expansion and flooded heat exchangers for example, may be used as evaporators in HVAC systems.
- the refrigerant typically surrounds the exterior of the tubes positioned within a shell and the secondary fluid to be cooled, such as water for example, flows through the tubes.
- the secondary fluid to be cooled such as water for example
- the refrigerant is expanded within the tubes while the chilled second fluid is circulated through the shell.
- the typical approach temperature in a direct expansion heat exchanger is between 4° K and 6° K to ensure vapor phase at compressor suction.
- refrigerants Due to environmental global warming potential concerns, new types of refrigerants are being considered for use in air conditioning applications.

Examples of these new refrigerants include, but are not limited to Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), and blends of HFOs and Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), or other refrigerants and/or refrigerant blends commonly referred to as “wet refrigerants” that have similar properties.

- the system 20 includes an additional heat exchanger 45 configured to receive a first flow of refrigerant and a second flow of refrigerant.
- the heat exchanger 45 may be positioned within the system 20 such that the first flow of refrigerant is provided from the outlet of the condenser 30 .

Refrigerant from the condenser 30 is provided to a first inlet 72 of the ejector 70 . As the refrigerant flows through the ejector 70 , the flow is accelerated and the pressure of the flow is decreased, such that the refrigerant supplied to the expansion device 35 is generally a liquid-vapor mixture.
- the refrigerant passes to the flash gas separator 60 for separation into a liquid refrigerant and a vapor refrigerant.
- a first outlet 66 of the separator 60 is fluidly connected to a second inlet 74 of the ejector 70 .
- the high velocity and pressure reduction of the refrigerant flow through the first inlet 72 of the ejector 70 draws the liquid refrigerant from the separator 60 into the ejector 70 through the second inlet 74 . Therefore any liquid refrigerant provided at the outlet 115 of the evaporator 40 will repeatedly cycle through the circuit 58 and the evaporator 40 until being vaporized.

- the flash gas separator 60 is positioned generally downstream from the condenser 30 and generally upstream from the expansion device 35 relative to the flow of refrigerant.
- the ejector 70 is arranged generally downstream from the condenser 30 and generally upstream from the separator 60 relative to the flow of refrigerant. Refrigerant from the condenser 30 is provided to the first inlet 72 of the ejector 70 and refrigerant from the outlet 115 of the evaporator 40 is provided to the second inlet 74 of the ejector 70 .

- the high velocity and pressure reduction of the refrigerant flow through the ejector 70 draws the mixture of two phase refrigerant from the evaporator 40 through the second inlet 74 of the ejector 70 .
- the refrigerant then returns to the separator 60 , where it is separated into liquid refrigerant and vapor refrigerant. Consequently, the liquid refrigerant provided at the outlet 115 of the evaporator 40 will continue to cycle through circuit 58 and the evaporator 40 until it is entirely vaporized.
- the vapor compression cycle further benefits from this configuration in that the placement of the ejector 70 reduces the compression ratio of the compressor 25 , thereby increasing the system coefficient of performance.
- a second outlet 68 of the separator 60 is configured to supply the vaporized refrigerant to the compressor 25 .
- the vaporized refrigerant bypasses the expansion device 35 and the evaporator 40 .
- the liquid refrigerant from the condenser 30 may pass through the heat exchanger 45 as the first flow of refrigerant before being supplied to the ejector 70 and the vaporized refrigerant provided at the second outlet 68 of the separator 60 may pass through the heat exchanger 45 as the second flow of refrigerant before being supplied to the compressor 25 .
- the various embodiments of a chiller system 20 described herein have an efficiency or performance level at least equal to conventional systems that include a flooded evaporator.
- the chiller system 20 is compatible with immiscible oil, which reduces the amount of oil needed by the system and therefore the cost.
- the design of the lubrication system 50 may be simplified.
