Abstract:
A method of controlling injection into a compressor in a refrigeration cycle is described. A refrigeration cycle may comprise at least an economizer heat exchanger, a heat rejection heat exchanger, a first expansion device, and a compressor. A discharge port of the compressor is connected to the heat rejection heat exchanger via a discharge line and an injection port of the compressor is connected to the means for compressing. The economizer heat exchanger comprises a first path having an input connected to the heat rejection heat exchanger and an output connected to the first expansion device, and a second path having an input connected to the heat rejection heat exchanger via an economizer valve and an output connected to the injection port of the compressor via an injection line. The economizer valve is regulated based on a superheat level of the refrigerant in the economizer heat exchanger.
