GENERAL CONCEPTS Systems are designed to satisfy the maximum cooling capacity that could occur, so for most of the operating time systems are over dimensioned The capacity could be reduced switching OFF periodically the compressor but there are limitations: max switch rate: 8 10/hour minimum running time 2 5 min. These limitation brings to large temperature deviation in the room The system has to cool down the room enough to guarantee that during compressor standstill (6 min cycle time) the temperature can t rise over the maximum acceptable temperature, to do this lower T evap. is required Lower evapora ng temperature lower COP of the compressor The possibility to regulate capacity permit to keep the compressor in operation for longer time and to operate at a higher T evap.. 10
How standard capacity control works?
0% Displacement 100% Displacement Vacuum effect Unbalancing STANDARD CC HEAD
Case 1: Reducing n of start / hour compressor ON OFF 12 start/hour TOO MANY!!! Out of Compressor limits! Very short running time Temperature variation can t be increased compressor1 with Capacity Control 10 start/hour OK Less compressor starts Longer running time 13
Case 1: Reducing n of start / hour Given T max and T min, with Capacity regulation is possible to: increase continuous running time reduce starts/hour Reduced electrical stress at start up Reduced mechanical stress at start up Better oil return to the compressor Secondary effect: at partial load the load on condenser is less With Capacity regulation (and floating condensing temp) is possible to reduce T cond 14
Case 2: improving efficiency compressor ON OFF 6 start/hour OK Very short running time Large Temperature variation Low T min Low T evap (T min 14 F) compressor1 with Capacity Control 6 start/hour OK Longer running time Smaller temperature variation Higher T min Higher T evap 15
With Capacity regulation is possible to reduce variation of room temperature. Given T max is possible to increase T min T evap = T min evaporator s T Regulating capacity is possible to increase T evap @ 35 C/45 C: T evap 1.8 C COP 4% T evap 3.6 C COP 6% T evap 5.4 C COP 10% Secondary effect: at partial load the load on condenser is less With Capacity regulation (and floating condensing temp) is possible to reduce T cond 16
FEATURES & PRO s LESS compressor On Off cycles
Capacity Control Problems Traditional Capacity Controls operates closing completely the suction flow to the cylinders under the CC head. This can cause several problems that can cause serious consequences: Overheating The refrigerant trapped into the cylinders is continuously expanded and compressed increasing gradually its temperature No temperature monitoring because these cylinder has no discharge flow Over 150 160 C POE oil vaporize and parts start wearing; over 170 C POE oil carbonize and create contaminants increasing wearing of parts Worn piston and piston rings permit high pressure bypass to the crankcase closing oil check valve and interrupting oil flow back from the system High pressure in crankcase Oil check valve closed NO oil return 18
Capacity Control Problems Vacuum operation Every cycle the piston movement create vacuum into the cylinder but suction reed don t open (no suction flow) Vacuum suck oil from cylinder liners and accumulate it into the cylinder. Broken discharge reed Oil accumulation can lead to liquid slug and damage or broke the discharge reed or the valve plate gasket Broken parts will end up in compressor malfunctioning Broken gasket 19
