NH3/CO2 Cascade Refrigeration System
1. NH3/CO2: The Principle of Cascade Refrigeration System
The NH3/CO2 cascade refrigeration system comprises two distinct stages: high temperature and low temperature. In the high-temperature stage, NH3 (ammonia) serves as the refrigerant, while CO2 (carbon dioxide) is utilized in the low-temperature stage. The system operates by evaporating NH3 in the high-temperature stage to condense CO2 refrigerant gas from the low-temperature stage. A unique condensation evaporator bridges these two stages, functioning dually as the condenser for the low-temperature stage and the evaporator for the high-temperature stage.
The heat load is efficiently transferred to the CO2 refrigerant via the end evaporator. The heat absorbed by the CO2 refrigerant is then conveyed to the high-temperature NH3 refrigerant through the condensing evaporator. Subsequently, the high-temperature NH3 refrigerant transfers the heat to the high-temperature condenser, releasing it into the environment through a cooling medium. The condensed CO2 then flows into the CO2 reservoir and passes through a dryer filter and throttle valve into the CO2 gas-liquid separator. Driven by a CO2 circulation pump, the liquid CO2 reaches the CO2 evaporator. Post-evaporation, the two-phase CO2 returns to the gas-liquid separator, where the gaseous CO2 is compressed by the compressor and directed back into the condensing evaporator. This cycle perpetuates the cascade refrigeration process seamlessly.
In the NH3/CO2 cascade refrigeration system, the high and low-temperature stages operate as independent refrigeration systems, each utilizing a single refrigerant. The equipment layout mirrors this bifurcation: the high-temperature NH3 system includes a refrigeration compressor, condenser, liquid storage, gas-liquid separator, and throttling device, while the low-temperature CO2 system features a CO2 compressor, condensing evaporator, reservoir, gas-liquid separator, filter dryer, pump, throttling device, evaporator, and expansion vessel.
The The CO2 gas-liquid separator is integral to maintaining system efficiency, separating CO2 gas droplets from the evaporator to prevent compressor wet stroke. It stabilizes the liquid level during pump operation and stores liquid from the end equipment and pipelines when the pump is inactive. In non-operational periods, the separator functions as a CO2 reservoir, holding the system's liquid CO2 volume. An auxiliary evaporator atop the gas-liquid separator prevents excessive CO2 pressure post-shutdown. In the NH3/CO2 cascade system, the condensing evaporator serves a dual role as an NH3-side evaporator and a CO2-side condenser, where compound liquid evaporates and absorbs heat within the tube, while CO2 gas condenses into a liquid in the shell.
2. Advantages of NH3/CO2 Cascade Refrigeration System
(1) Reduced NH3 Risk Factors:
(1.(1)) The NH3/CO2 cascade system significantly lowers the condensing pressure of the NH3 refrigerant charge to about one-tenth of traditional ammonia systems.
(1.(2)) NH3 is confined to the machine room and equipment room, akin to a 'tiger in a cage,' supervised by skilled personnel.
(1.(3)) Optimal use of NH3's excellent heat transfer properties in high-temperature regions to cool CO2.
(2) CO2 serves as the refrigerant in personnel-intensive areas, such as single-freezing machines and warehouses, ensuring safety for both personnel and property.
