  • Publication number: 20230332810
    Abstract: A refrigeration system comprises: a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a reservoir, a throttling element and a second heat exchanger in the refrigeration circuit. The refrigeration system comprises a cooling mode and a hot-gas bypass heating mode. In the hot-gas bypass heating mode, the refrigerant leaving the outlet of the compressor is delivered directly to the second heat exchanger before returning to the inlet of the compressor, wherein, the refrigeration system further comprises a branch flow path with a control valve provided thereon. The control valve is capable of being opened or closed in the hot-gas bypass heating mode.

  • Patent number: 11453269
    Abstract: A power management method used for power distribution in a transportation refrigeration unit. The power management method includes calculating engine power according to engine operating parameters; calculating power generator real-time input power according to power generator excitation current; calculating available power based on the power generator real-time input power and the engine power; and managing power distributed to a compressor based on the available power. The present invention further relates to a power management system. The power management method and system have the advantages of simplicity, reliability, stable operation and the like, the power generator real-time input power can be calculated according to the power generator excitation current, thus more power can be provided to the compressor on the premise that the power supply to power generator loads is guaranteed, and the operating efficiency of the transportation refrigeration unit is improved.

  • Patent number: 11397033
    Abstract: A refrigeration system and a start control method for a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system includes: a refrigeration loop having an exhaust port of a compressor, a condenser, a throttle element, an evaporator, and a suction port of the compressor connected in sequence by using a flow path; wherein a first valve is disposed between the throttle element and the condenser, and the first valve is at least capable of cutting off a refrigerant flow from the throttle element to the condenser; and a second valve is disposed close to the suction port of the compressor, and the second valve is used to control on/off of a flow path between the evaporator and the compressor. Starting load of the refrigeration system according to the present invention can be effectively reduced, so that the power and size of a drive component for providing power can also be reduced.
