Cooling circuit having a gas discharge unit removing gaseous refrigerant from a compressor feed line
Patent number: 11525605Abstract: A cooling circuit comprises a refrigerant compressor incorporating a suction port and a pressure chamber incorporating a pressure port, a condenser arranged downstream of the pressure port, a fluid collecting chamber in which a reservoir of refrigerant is formed, an evaporator which is located between the condenser and the suction port, a feed unit which is connected at one side to the refrigerant reservoir and to the pressure chamber at the other side and which serves for supplying refrigerant from the refrigerant reservoir to the pressure chamber which incorporates a pumping unit for the refrigerant. It is proposed that in order improve this cooling circuit, the pumping unit comprise a pressure-tight closed housing which is provided with only one inlet and one outlet as access points and a pumping element which is movable for pumping the refrigerant be arranged in the pumping chamber thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: BITZER Kuehlmaschinenbau GmbHInventors: Julian Pfaffl, Klaus Ohser -
Patent number: 10804834Abstract: In order to improve a method for selecting a frequency converter for a refrigerant compressor unit that includes a refrigerant compressor and an electric drive motor such that the frequency converter is selected in a manner for optimized use, it is proposed that a working state suitable for operation of the refrigerant compressor unit should be selected within an application field of an application graph of the refrigerant compressor, that an operating frequency for this selected working state should be selected, and that a working state operating current value that corresponds to the selected working state and the selected operating frequency should be determined from drive data, for operation of the refrigerant compressor unit.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: BITZER Kuehlmaschinenbau GmbHInventors: John Gibson, Tobias Hieble, Julian Pfaffl, Juergen Nill, Ferdinand Breithuth
