Summary

In order to increase the refrigeration capacity and improve the COP, an economizer arrangement is used in the refrigeration system with screw refrigeration compressor. In this system, the mid-pressure refrigerant gas from the economizer is injected in the screw refrigeration compressor. So it affects the performance of the compressor. In this paper, the working process of a twin screw refrigeration compressor with economizer under different superfeed pressures is studied. A mathematical model for simulating the working process of screw refrigeration compressor under superfeed condition with the economizer is presented; especially the flow coefficient of superfeed is obtained by the experimental research. To verify the model, the p-V diagrams (pressure-volume diagrams) of screw refrigeration compressor under different superfeed pressures with the economizer are recorded successfully by making use of a micro-type pressure sensor that embedded into the groove at the root of the female rotor on the discharge side. The p-V diagrams of theoretical calculation are in good agreement with the results of experimental recorded, which lead to conclusion that the model can be used as a powerful tool for performance prediction of screw refrigeration compressor, also, it is very helpful for refrigeration system design.
