HOW IT WORKS

The solution improves the efficiency of the refrigeration and heat pump system by carrying out a pre-compression of the refrigerant, before it goes to the main compressor.

Energy that would otherwise be dissipated through the lamination valve is used to make the pre-compression.

This is made possible by the inclusion of a turbocharger and two heat exchangers within the refrigerant circuit.

The system improves the energy performance of the plant and also increases its cooling capacity.

IN ADDITION TO EFFICIENCY?

Extending the compressor's operating range.
Our technology makes it possible to generate an overpressure that allows the main compressor to operate with a refrigerant at a higher pressure than it would have without the turbocharger. This results in an extension of the compressor's operating range.

CONVENTIONAL REFRIGERATION CYCLE

In a conventional refrigeration cycle, the compressor compresses the refrigerant by increasing its pressure and temperature. This hot gas then goes into the condenser, in which it releases heat to the environment and turns into a liquid. Then, the high-pressure liquid is restricted by the lamination valve, lowering its temperature. Finally, the cold refrigerant enters the evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the environment to be cooled, returning to a gaseous state. The process is repeated, ensuring continuous cooling.

The most critical point in the cycle is the lamination valve: the expansion process causes a loss of energy, reducing the overall efficiency of the system.

REFRIGERATION CYCLE WITH TURBOCHARGER

The high-pressure liquid instead of being laminated is used to feed the turbo-compressor, which pre-compresses the refrigerant before it goes to the main compressor.
The reduction of the compression ratio leads to a proportional reduction in the compressor's electrical consumption; in addition to this, the pre-compression provided by the turbocharger results in an increased refrigerant flow, leading to an increase in cooling power.

Thanks to the turbocharger and the overpressure it provides, the operating range of the main compressor is increased.
