  • Patent number: 10539341
    Abstract: A multiple-evaporation cooling system in which the intermediate heat exchanger of first evaporation line includes at least a segment of the physically arranged expansion device in contact with at least a portion of the second row of evaporation and the intermediate heat exchanger's second evaporative line includes at least one expansion device segment physically disposed in contact with at least one portion of a first evaporation line. Considering the temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger of first evaporation line influences the temperature of the refrigerant flowing in the second line of evaporative expansion device and the temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger of the second evaporative line influences the temperature of the refrigerant flowing in the first line of evaporative expansion device. Features include varying the restriction of the respective expansion devices and then unduly inhibit mass transfer of refrigerant between at least two distinct evaporation.

  • Patent number: 8671704
    Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a compressor; a condenser connected to a first inlet of a separator which has: a vapor outlet connected to the compressor and a liquid outlet connected to an evaporator; a selecting valve having: a first vapor inlet connected to the evaporator; a second vapor inlet connected to the separator; and a vapor outlet connected to the compressor, the selecting valve being operated to selectively and alternatively communicate its first and second vapor inlets with its vapor outlet, so as to allow the compressor to draw vapor from the separator and from the evaporator; and a control unit for controlling the operation of the selecting valve.

  • Publication number: 20110197606
    Abstract: The refrigeration system includes a compressor; a condenser connected to a first inlet of a separating means which has: a vapor outlet connected to the compressor and a liquid outlet connected to an evaporator; a selecting valve having: a first vapor inlet connected to the evaporator; a second vapor inlet connected to the separating means; and a vapor outlet connected to the compressor, said selecting valve being operated to selectively and alternatively communicate its first and second vapor inlets with its vapor outlet, so as to allow the compressor to draw vapor from the separating means and from the evaporator; and a control unit for controlling the operation of the selecting valve.
