This application claims the priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201811425179.X filed by State Intellectual Property Office of The P.R.C on Nov. 27, 2018, and titled “AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM WITH MIXED WORKING MEDIUM”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
This application belongs to the field of air conditioner technologies, and more particularly, relates to an air-conditioning system with mixed working medium.
At present, an intermediate gas supplement system is widely used because the system can better meet the requirements of low-temperature working conditions and performances thereof can be greatly improved. However, for a mixed working medium composed of two or more refrigerants with different boiling points, under a phase equilibrium state in a gas-liquid separator, low-boiling point components evaporate first, so that the refrigerant supplemented to the compressor is a refrigerant rich in the low-boiling point components. The refrigerant with low boiling point has the characteristics of being easy to evaporate but difficult to condense. However, this gas supplement refrigerant only participates in condensation but not evaporation. This brings two effects: the condensation process contains more low-boiling point components which are not easy to condense, while the evaporation process contains more high-boiling point components which are not easy to evaporate, thus further leading to poor performances of the evaporation process and the condensation process. In fact, for the gas supplement system with mixed working medium, the refrigerant rich in the high-boiling point components is the best one, but this kind of refrigerant belongs to the part which is not easy to evaporate in the gas-liquid separator, and makes the refrigerant difficult to evaporate.
Because more low-boiling point working medium is typically supplemented into the compressor of the gas supplement system with mixed working medium in the prior art to cause poor performance in the condensation process, and less low-boiling point working medium enters the evaporator to cause poor performance in the evaporation process, thus resulting in technical problems such as poor performances of the gas supplement system, an air-conditioning system with mixed working medium is researched and designed in this application.
