Patent number: 11274868Abstract: The invention relates to an expansion unit for installation in a refrigerant circuit, including an expansion system having an subcooling unit for subcooling a mass flow of a refrigerant that is supplied to the expansion unit, having an expansion/compression unit including an expander stage and a compressor stage, having a branching point that splits off a subcooling mass flow from a total mass flow supplied to the expansion unit and that is connected to a supply conduit that guides the subcooling mass flow to an inlet of the subcooling unit, having an expansion member that expands the subcooling mass flow to a subcooling pressure, having a connection conduit that supplies the subcooling mass flow exiting from the subcooling unit to the compression stage, which for its part compresses the subcooling mass flow to a return high pressure, and having an electrically operated controller that detects an ambient temperature and/or a temperature of the mass flow of refrigerant that is supplied to the expansion unit anType: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: BITZER Kuehlmaschinenbau GmbHInventors: Julian Karbiner, Oliver Javerschek, Joerg Nickl

Patent number: 10605509Abstract: A refrigeration system is of the type that includes a refrigerant compressor unit which compresses normal refrigerating mass flow and a parallel compressor. The parallel compressor in a parallel compression mode of operation of the refrigerant circuit, sucks in refrigerant from the intermediate pressure accumulator and compresses it to high pressure. It is proposed that, in order to increase efficiency, the power of the parallel compressor is controlled by a control system. The control system determines at least one reference variable representing a load state of the refrigerant circuit, that determines a set intermediate pressure value on the basis of the at least one reference variable at least in a parallel compression mode of operation, and that regulates the intermediate pressure in accordance with the set intermediate pressure value at least in the parallel compression mode of operation.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: BITZER Kuehlmaschine GmbHInventor: Oliver Javerschek
