Description of the refrigeration cycle with partial heat recovery
The lowtemperature refrigerant gas from the evaporator is drawn by the compressor through the electric motor, which is
cooled by the refrigerant. It is subsequently compressed and during this process the refrigerant mixes with the oil from
the oil separator.
The highpressure oilrefrigerant mixture is introduced within the highefficiency centrifugaltype oil separator which
separates it. The oil depositing on the bottom of the separator through pressure difference is sent back to the
compressor while the refrigerant that has been separated from the oil il sent to the partial recovery exchanger, where it
dissipates the heat from postoverheating cooling, warming the water which travels through the exchanger. On leaving the
exchanger the refrigerant fluid enters the condenser where it is condensed.
The highpressure oilrefrigerant mixture is introduced into the centrifugetype highefficiency oil separator, where the oil is
separated from the refrigerant. The oil accumulated on the bottom of the separator is forced by the pressure difference
back into the compressor while the oilfree refrigerant is sent to the condenser. The upper part of the condenser has
cooling tubes through which about 10% of the heat rejection of the unit is recovered.
These condensers, with partial heat recovery tubes, have crowns with special couplings by which they can be connected
to the hot water pipes. When partial recovery is activated, condenser performance is improved since the condenser
temperature is lowered further in as much as the surface dedicated to heat discharge is greater.
After passing through the cooling tubes, the gas starts to condense in the central part of the condenser.
The condensed fluid at saturation temperature passes through the subcooling section where it looses even more heat,
increasing the efficiency of the cycle. The subcooled fluid flows through the highefficiency filter dryer and then reaches
the expansion element (expansion valve) through which a fall in pressure starts off the expansion process resulting in the
vaporisation of part of the refrigerant liquid.
The result at this point is a lowpressure and lowtemperature liquidgas mixture entering the evaporator, where it takes the
heat required for vaporisation.
When the refrigerant liquidvapour is uniformly distributed in the direct expansion evaporator tubes, heat is exchanged
with the cooling water, thus reducing the temperature until complete evaporation, followed by superheating.
Once it has reached the superheatedvapour state, the refrigerant leaves the evaporator and is once again taken into the
compressor to repeat the cycle.
Controlling the partial recovery circuit and installation recommendations
The partial heat recovery system is not managed and/or controlled by the machine. The installer should follow the
suggestions below for best system performance and reliability:
1) Install a mechanical filter on the heat exchanger inlet pipe.
2) Install shutoff valves to isolate the heat exchanger from the water system during periods of inactivity or
system maintenance.
3) Install a drain valve that allows the heat exchanger to be emptied in the even that air temperature is
expected to fall below 0°C during periods of inactivity of the machine.
4) Install flexible antivibration joints on the heat recovery water inlet and outlet piping, so that transmission
of vibrations, and therefore of noise, to the water system is kept as low as possible.
5)
Do not load exchanger joints with the weight of the heat recovery piping. The water joints of the
exchangers are not designed to support the weight of the piping.
6) Should heat recovery water temperature be lower than ambient temperature, it is advised to switch off
the heat recovery water pump 3 minutes after having switched off the last compressor.
Compressor
The singlescrew compressor is of the semihermetic type with an asyncronous threephase, twopole motor which is
directly splined on the main shaft. The suction gas from the evaporator cools the electric motor before entering the
suction ports. There are temperature sensors inside the electric motor which are completely covered by the coil winding
and constantly monitor motor temperature. Should the coil winding temperature become very high (120°C), a special
external device connected to the sensors and to the electronic controller will deactivate the corresponding compressor.
There are only two moving rotating parts and there are no other parts in the compressor with an eccentric and/or
alternating movement.
The basic components are therefore only the main rotor and the satellites that carry out the compression process,
meshing perfectly together.
Compression sealing is done thanks to a suitably shaped special composite material that is interposed between the main
screw and the satellite. The main shaft on which the main rotor is splined is supported by 2 ball bearings. The system
made up in this way is both statically and dynamically balanced before assembly.
