Abstract:
A single-stage compressor including one compressing unit, includes: a housing having a compressing chamber formed therein and including a suction port, which is located in one side of the compressing chamber and into which a working fluid enters, and an injection port, which is located on the compressing chamber to be spaced apart from the suction port by a predetermined distance and into which an intermediate-pressure working fluid is injected; and an intermediate-pressure valve installed on an intermediate-pressure fluid flow path on which the intermediate-pressure working fluid moves and configured to control supply of the intermediate-pressure working fluid so that the intermediate-pressure working fluid is supplied to the injection port in response to an intermediate pressure of the compressing chamber. In the injection-type compressor having a single chamber, a working fluid is injected at an intermediate pressure (not in the proximity of a suction pressure) so that efficiency and capability of the injection-type compressor having a single chamber can be improved. The injection-type compressor having a single chamber has a simple structure and is easily manufactured so that a pressure of an injection port and a corresponding intermediate pressure can be selectively set in various ways.
Abstract:
Provided is an energy system comprising: a screw compressor; a condenser; an expansion device; an evaporator; an evaporator heat source flow path configured to provide a heating medium supplied from an outside as a heat source of the evaporator; a lubricant oil heat-exchanging unit configured to perform a heat-exchanging operation of the heating medium on an evaporator heat source flow path and lubricant oil including a refrigerant inside the screw compressor, to heat the lubricant oil by the heating medium before the screw compressor starts up, and to cool the lubricant oil by the heating medium discharged from the evaporator after the evaporator is heated by the heating medium, after the screw compressor starts up; and a controller configured to control the lubricant oil heat-exchanging unit depending on whether the screw compressor starts up.
Abstract:
In the present invention, a recuperator is used in a refrigerant cycle to make a heat exchange between a refrigerant generated in a condenser and a refrigerant before flowing into a compressor, thereby supercooling the refrigerant to minimize the quality of the refrigerant introduced into an evaporator, elevating temperatures at an inlet and an outlet of the compressor, and increasing condensed heat of the condenser. In the present invention, a recuperator is used to increase condensed heat of the condenser, leading to increasing the heat which circulation water circulating in a steam producing cycle receives from the condenser, whereby steam production efficiency can be improved.
Abstract:
A heat pump system includes a liquid receiver valve that adjusts the amount of a refrigerant stored in a liquid receiver so that a circulation amount of the refrigerant that circulates the heat pump system can be adjusted according to a driving speed of a compressor and performance of the compressor and the heat pump system can be further improved. Also, since a plurality of liquid receiver refrigerant outlets can be selectively opened using a pressure difference between an inlet and an outlet of the compressor, active control can be performed.
