SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION AND CORRECTION OF REVERSE FLOW IN AN EJECTOR REFRIGERATION CIRCUI
A system for detection and correction of reverse flow in an ejector refrigeration circuit, includes ejectors, first sensors for measuring an ejector suction superheat of a refrigerant at a secondary low pressure input port of each of the ejectors, and a second sensor for measuring a superheat of the refrigerant upstream relative to the secondary low pressure input port. A controller receives the ejector suction superheats and the refrigerant superheat and determines whether a superheat difference between each of the ejector suction superheats and the refrigerant superheat falls below a threshold superheat difference. The controller identifies a first ejector as a reverse flow affected ejector based on the determined superheat difference. The controller compares opening percentages of the ejectors to determine a second ejector having the largest opening percentage and controls the first ejector and the second ejector to increase a refrigerant flow rate of the first ejector.
EJECTOR ARRANGEMENT
An ejector arrangement (1) is provided comprising a housing (5), at least two ejectors (2) arranged in said housing (5), each ejector (2) having a motive inlet (3), a suction inlet (29), an outlet (11) and a longitudinal axis (17). Such an arrangement should have a simple construction. To this end said suction inlet (29) of said ejectors (2) are connected by means of fluid paths to a common suction line (8).
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAP-INTERPOLATION BASED CONTROL OF EJECTORS IN AN EJECTOR REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT
A system for map-interpolation based control of ejectors in an ejector refrigeration circuit includes a controller coupled to each of the ejectors and adapted to generate maps based on predefined conditions. The controller identifies a first map associated with a first temperature of a heat rejecting heat exchanger and a second map associated with a second temperature of the heat rejecting heat exchanger. The controller predicts an opening percentage of the first ejector from at least one of opening percentages indicated in the first map and opening percentages indicated in the second map. Finally, the controller adjusts the opening percentage of the first ejector based on the predicted opening percentage.
PACKAGED TERMINAL AIR CONDITIONER UNIT
A packaged terminal air conditioner unit includes a casing. A compressor, a reversing valve and an ejector of the packaged terminal air conditioner unit are positioned within the casing. The ejector is configured for drawing vapor refrigerant into a flow of liquid refrigerant. An exterior heat exchanger and an interior heat exchanger are also positioned within the casing. The interior heat exchanger has a first stage and a second stage.
