Abstract:
The invention concerns a plunger piston compressor (1) for refrigerants, particularly for CO 2 , with a case-like housing, having a compressor block (2) with a compression section comprising a cylinder (13) as first housing element and a bottom part (3) as second housing element, the compressor block (2) and the bottom part (3) being connected with each other, and with a motor (25) with a drive shaft (23) located in the inner chamber (17). It is endeavoured to provide a high-pressure refrigerant compressor with a simple design, which is cost effective in manufacturing. For this purpose, it is ensured that the drive shaft (23) is only supported on one side of the motor (25).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an expansion valve (1) for high-pressure refrigeration systems with a valve seat (5), a valve element (9) cooperating with the valve seat (5), a spring arrangement, which acts upon the valve element (9), and an adjusting device (23) for the spring arrangement. It is endeavoured to provide an expansion valve, which can be driven by a relatively weak drive, also in connection with high pressures. For this purpose, the spring arrangement has at least a first spring (11) and a second spring (12), which act upon the valve element, the first spring (11) defining a operating area and the second spring (12) having a spring force, which can be changed by means of the adjusting device.
Abstract:
An expansion valve (4) for a vapour compression system (1), and a vapour compression system comprising such an expansion valve (4) are disclosed. The expansion valve (4) comprises a first valve member (7) and a second valve member (8). The first valve member (7) and the second valve member (8) are arranged movably relative to each other, and the relative position of the first valve member (7) and the second valve member (8) determines an opening degree of the expansion valve (4). The first valve member (7) and/or the second valve member (8) is/are automatically movable in response to changes in a differential pressure across the expansion valve (4), the opening degree of the expansion valve (4) thereby being automatically altered in response to changes in the differential pressure across the expansion valve (4). It is ensured that the opening degree of the expansion valve (4) is automatically adjusted to the actual operating conditions, thereby optimising the efficiency of the vapour compression system (1). Furthermore, this is obtained in a simple manner, without requiring complicated control of the valve (4).
Abstract:
A method for operating a vapour compression system (1) is disclosed. The vapour compression system (1) comprises a compressor (2), a condenser (3), at least one expansion device (4), an evaporator (5), said evaporator (5) comprising at least two evaporator paths (5a, 5b) arranged fluidly in parallel, and a distribution device arranged to distribute refrigerant among the evaporator paths (5a, 5b). The method comprises the steps of obtaining at least two predefined distribution keys, each distribution key defining a distribution of available refrigerant among the evaporator paths (5a, 5b), detecting one or more operational settings of the vapour compression system (1), selecting one of the at least two predefined distribution keys, based on said detected operational setting(s), and distributing refrigerant among the evaporator paths (5a, 5b) in accordance with the selected predefined distribution key. The predefined distribution keys constitute pre-settings which can be selected on the basis of operational settings, such as compressor capacity, fan speed, refrigeration load or mode of operation. The vapour compression system (1) may be operated in accordance with the selected predefined distribution key, or the selected predefined distribution key may be used as a suitable starting point for an adaptive adjustment of the distribution key. An optimal distribution of the available refrigerant among the evaporator paths (5a, 5b) is quickly reached due to the pre-settings. Thereby the vapour compression system (1) can be operated in an optimal manner for most of the operating time.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a reciprocating compressor (1), particularly for refrigerants, with a cylinder housing (2), in which at least one cylinder chamber (3) is arranged, and a cylinder head (6), which delimits the cylinder chamber (3) and has a valve plate (7) with a suction valve arrangement (10) that is connected with a suction chamber, and with a pressure valve arrangement (13), which is connected with a pressure chamber (14) that is separated from the suction chamber (11). It is endeavoured to improve the sealing between the suction chamber and the pressure chamber. For this purpose, the valve plate (7) has, on the side facing away from the cylinder chamber (3), a projection (15), which separates the suction chamber (11) from the pressure chamber (14).
