  • Patent number: 11761695
    Abstract: A refrigeration system, comprising a compressor, a condenser, a throttle flow path, and an evaporator connected in sequence, wherein a non-adjustable main throttle element is disposed in the throttle flow path; and further comprising a bypass flow path, wherein the bypass flow path is connected to the throttle flow path respectively at the upstream and downstream of the main throttle element, and provided with an adjustable auxiliary throttle element thereon; a liquid level sensor, disposed upstream and/or downstream of the throttle flow path, and configured to detect the liquid level; and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to control the opening of the auxiliary throttle element according to a liquid level signal from the liquid level sensor.

  • Patent number: 11725851
    Abstract: A multi-stage refrigeration system (100) includes: a refrigeration loop (110), which includes a gas suction port of a multi-stage compressor (111), a condenser (112), a first throttling element (113), an evaporator (114) and an exhaust port of the multi-stage compressor which are sequentially connected through pipelines; an economizer branch (120), which includes an economizer (121), a second throttling element (122) and a first control valve (123), the economizer having an economizer liquid inlet connected to the condenser via the first throttling element, an economizer liquid outlet connected to the evaporator via the second throttling element, and an economizer exhaust port connected to an intermediate stage of the multi-stage compressor via a control valve; and a bypass branch (130), which is joined to the evaporator from the downstream of the second throttling element and connected to the condenser via the first throttling element, and on which a second control valve (131) is arranged.

  • Patent number: 11365916
    Abstract: A refrigeration system, includes a compressor, a condenser (200), a throttle flow path (100), and an evaporator (300) connected in sequence. A non-adjustable main throttle element (110,120) is disposed in the throttle flow path. A bypass flow path (500) is connected to the throttle flow path respectively at the upstream and downstream of the main throttle element, and provided with an adjustable auxiliary throttle element (510) thereon. A liquid level sensor is disposed upstream or downstream of the throttle flow path, and configured to detect the liquid level. A controller is configured to control the opening of the auxiliary throttle element according to a liquid level signal from the liquid level sensor.
