They may be needle valves, fixed orifices, cal-ibrated manual regulating valves, or automatic valves designed toprovide a fixed liquid rate.Advantages and DisadvantagesThe main advantages of liquid overfeed systems are high systemefficiency

11、 There is less maintenance and fewer breakdowns. The oilcirculation rate to the evaporators is reduced because of thelow compressor discharge superheat and separation at the low-pressure receiver (Scotland 1963).Automatic operation is convenient.The following are possible disadvantages:In some cases

12、, refrigerant charges are greater than those used inother systems.Higher refrigerant flow rates to and from evaporators cause liquidfeed and wet return lines to be larger in diameter than high-pressure liquid and suction lines for other systems.Piping insulation, which is costly, is generally requir

15、 Liquid overfeed systems comparefavorably with thermostatic valve feed systems for the same reason.For small systems, the initial cost for liquid overfeed may be higherthan for direct expansion.Ammonia Systems. Easy operation and lower maintenance are at-tractive features for even small ammonia syst

However, for am-monia systems operating below 18C evaporating temperature,some manufacturers do not supply direct-expansion evaporators be-cause of unsatisfactory refrigerant distribution and control problems.OVERFEED SYSTEM OPERATIONMechanical PumpFigure 1 shows a simplified pumped overfeed sy

If no strainer is used, a dirt leg should be used to reduce therisk of solids getting into the pump.Generally, minimum pump pressure should be at least double thenet positive suction pressur

Net positive suction pressureand flow requirements vary with pump type and design; consult thepump manufacturer for specific requirements. The pump should beevaluated over the full range of operation at low and high flow. C

22、en-trifugal pumps have a flat curve and have difficulty with systems inwhich discharge pressure fluctuates.Gas PumpFigure 3 shows a basic gas-pumped liquid overfeed system, withpumping power supplied by gas at condenser pressure. In this sys-tem, a level control maintains the liquid level in the low

23、-pressurereceiver. There are two pumper drums; one is filled by the low-pres-sure receiver, and the other is drained as hot gas pushes liquid fromthe pumper drum to the evaporator. Pumper drum B drains when hotgas enters the drum through valve B. To function properly, thepumper drums must be correct

24、ly vented so they can fill during thefill cycle.Another common arrangement is shown in Figure 4. In thissystem, high-pressure liquid is flashed into a controlled-pressurereceiver that maintains constant liquid pressure at the evaporatorinlets, resulting in continuous liquid feed at constant pressure

25、. Flashgas is drawn into the low-pressure receiver through a receiver pres-sure regulator. Excess liquid drains into a liquid dump trap fromthe low-pressure receiver. Check valves and a three-way equalizingvalve transfer liquid into the controlled-pressure receiver during thedump cycle. Refined vers

An automatic regulating device continu-ously controls refrigera

Other commondevices are hand expansion valves, calibrated regulating valves, ori-fices, and distributors.It is time-consuming to adjust hand expansion valves to achieveideal flow conditions. However, they have been used with some suc-cess in many installations before mor

29、 Overfeed SystemFig. 4 Constant-Pressure Liquid Overfeed SystemLiquid Overfeed Systems 4.3available. One factor to consider is that standard hand expansionvalves are designed to regulate flows caused by the relatively highpressure differences between condensing and evaporating pressure.In overfeed s

30、ystems, large differences do not exist, so valves withlarger orifices may be needed to cope with the combination ofincreased refrigerant quantity and relatively small pressure differ-ences. Caution is necessary when using larger orifices because con-trollability decreases as orifice size increases.C

31、alibrated, manually operated regulating valves reduce some ofthe uncertainties involved in using conventional hand expansionvalves. To be effective, the valves should be adjusted to the manu-facturers recommendations. Because refrigerant in the liquid feedlines is above saturation pressure, the line

32、s should not contain flashgas. However, liquid flashing can occur if excessive heat gains bythe refrigerant and/or high pressure drops build up in feed lines.Orifices should be carefully designed and selected; once in-stalled, they cannot be adjusted. They are generally used only fortop- and horizon

33、tal-feed multicircuit evaporators. Foreign matterand congealed oil globules can restrict flow; a minimum orifice of2.5 mm is recommended. With ammonia, the circulation rate mayhave to be increased beyond that needed for the minimum orificesize because of the small liquid volume normally circulated.

34、Pumpsand feed and return lines larger than minimum may be needed. Thisdoes not apply to halocarbons because of the greater liquid volumecirculated as a result of fluid characteristics.Conventional multiple-outlet distributors with capillary tubes ofthe type usually paired with thermostatic expansion

35、 valves havebeen used successfully in liquid overfeed systems. Capillary tubesmay be installed downstream of a distributor with oversized orificesto achieve the required pressure reduction and efficient distribution.Existing gravity-flooded evaporators with accumulators can beconnected to liquid ove

36、rfeed systems. Changes may be needed onlyfor the feed to the accumulator, with suction lines from the accumu-lator connected to the system wet return lines. An acceptable arrange-ment is shown in Figure 5. Generally, gravity-flooded evaporatorshave different circuiting arrangements from overfeed eva

37、porators. Inmany cases, the circulating rates developed by thermosiphon actionare greater than those used in conventional overfeed systems.Example 1. Find the orifice diameter of an ammonia overfeed system witha refrigeration load per circuit of 4.47 kW and a circulating rate of 7.Evaporating temper

38、ature is 35C, pressure drop across the orifice is55 kPa, and the coefficient of discharge for the orifice is 0.61. The cir-culation per circuit is 33.3 mL/s.Solution: Orifice diameter may be calculated as follows:d =(1)whered = orifice diameter, mmQ = discharge through orifice, mL/sp = pressure drop

39、 through orifice, Pa = density of fluid at 35C= 683.7 kg/m3Cd= coefficient of discharge for orificed = = 2.47 mmNote: As noted in the text, use a 2.5 mm diameter orifice to avoidclogging.OIL IN SYSTEMDespite reasonably efficient compressor discharge oil separators,oil finds its way into the system l

40、ow-pressure sides. In ammoniaoverfeed systems, most of this oil can be drained from low-pressurereceivers with suitable oil drainage facilities. In low-temperaturesystems, a separate valved and pressure-protected, noninsulated oildrain pot can be placed in a warm space at the accumulator (Figure6).

41、The oil/ammonia mixture flows into the pot, and the refrigerantevaporates. At subatmospheric pressures, high-pressure vapor mustbe piped into the oil pot to force oil out. Because of oils low solu-bility in liquid ammonia, thick oil globules circulate with the liquidand can restrict flow through str

42、ainers, orifices, and regulators. Tomaintain high efficiency, oil should be removed from the system byregular draining.Except at low temperatures, halocarbons are miscible with oil.Therefore, positive oil return to the compressor must be ensured.There are many methods, including oil stills using bot

43、h electric heatand heat exchange from high-pressure liquid or vapor. Somearrangements are discussed in Chapter 1. At low temperatures, oilskimmers must be used because oil migrates to the top of the low-pressure receiver.Build-up of excessive oil in evaporators must not be allowedbecause it rapidly

44、decreases efficiency. This is particularly critical inevaporators with high heat transfer rates associated with low vol-umes, such as flake ice makers, ice cream freezers, and scraped-surface heat exchangers. Because refrigerant flow rate is high,excessive oil can accumulate and rapidly reduce effic

45、iency.CIRCULATING RATEIn a liquid overfeed system, the circulating number or rate isthe mass ratio of liquid pumped to amount of vaporized liquid. Theamount of liquid vaporized is based on the latent heat for the refrig-erant at the evaporator temperature. The overfeed rate is the ratio ofliquid to

46、vapor returning to the low-pressure receiver. When vaporleaves an evaporator at saturated vapor conditions with no excessliquid, the circulating rate is 1 and the overfeed rate is 0.

48、te at full load is 3; at no load, itis 4. Most systems are designed for steady flow. With few excep-tions, load conditions may vary, causing fluctuating temperaturesoutside and within the evaporator. Evaporator capacities vary con-siderably; with constant refrigerant flow to the evaporator, the over

49、-feed rate fluctuates.For each evaporator, there is an ideal circulating rate for everyloading condition that gives the minimum temperature differenceand best evaporator efficiency (Lorentzen 1968; Lorentzen andGronnerud 1967). With few exceptions, it is impossible to predictideal circulating rates or to design a plant for automatic adjustmentof the rates to suit fluctuating loads. The optimum rate can vary withheat load, pipe diameter, circuit length, and number of parallel cir-cuits to achieve the best performance.
