Abstract

The paper shows and analyzes circuit solutions for improving the existing schemes of ejector heat-using refrigeration machines, which are used as part of cogeneration plants. One of the promising areas is the use of an aerothermopressor, which implements the effect of thermogasdynamic compression, which is to increase the pressure while reducing the temperature in the evaporation of liquid, which injected into the flow of vapor moving at speed near the sound. To analyze the efficiency of ejector refrigeration machines, the developed calculation model was used, which takes into account the use of an aerothermopressor in the cycles of refrigeration machines with the features of the calculations of cycles and circuits. To select and determine possible circuit solutions, the efficiency of an aerothermopressor for different refrigerants was evaluated and a comparative analysis of the characteristic parameters of the efficiency of an aerothermopressor in the range of cooling temperature differences is 20–100 oC was made. It is possible to increase the efficiency of ejector heat-using refrigeration machines when using an aerothermopressor by providing a temperature difference of 60–100 oC. The analysis showed that the most important are: R717, R134a, R227ea, R1234ze (E), R1234yf (2–4%). It is possible to provide a higher thermal coefficient for ejector heat-using refrigeration machines by using an aerothermopressor in the circuit using the circulation of liquid refrigerant. The corresponding increase in the thermal coefficient is 1.5–2.0%. The use of an aerothermopressor in the scheme with heat recovery allows removing additional overheating of vapor before suctioning into the ejector with a corresponding increase in the thermal coefficient by 4-8%. The analysis shows that the total increase in the thermal coefficient due to the combined use of an aerothermopressor, heat recovery, and recirculation is 10–15% at a base value of 0.30–0.40.
