REFRIGERATION SYSTEM CONTROLLED BY REFRIGERANT QUALITY WITHIN EVAPORATOR

摘要

A method of controlling a refrigeration system 10 having a refrigerant disposed within a fluid-tight circulation loop 12 with a compressor A method of controlling a refrigeration system 10 having a refrigerant disposed within a fluid-tight circulation loop 12 with a compressor 14, a condenser 16 and an evaporator 18, wherein the method includes the steps of (a) compressing refrigerant in a gaseous state within the compressor 14 and cooling the refrigerant within the condenser 16; (b) flowing the refrigerant into the evaporator 18; (c) reducing the pressure of the refrigerant within the evaporator 18; (d) flowing refrigerant from the evaporator to the compressor 14; (e) repeating steps (a)-(d); while controlling the flow of refrigerant in to the evaporator 18 in step (b) based upon the condition of the refrigerant within the evaporator 18.
