Description
本申请是申请日为2006年10月11日、申请号为200680041476.3、发明名称为“包括热电式热量回收和致动的制冷系统”的发明专利申请的分案申请。
技术领域
本发明涉及蒸汽压缩回路,更具体地,涉及与热电装置相关联的蒸汽压缩回路。
背景技术
包括有蒸汽压缩循环的制冷系统可用来调节开放或封闭的隔间或空间的环境温度。蒸汽压缩循环利用压缩机来压缩相变工作流体(如制冷剂),于是使工作流体冷凝、膨胀和蒸发。压缩工作流体会产生热量,在制冷应用中,该热量成为从压缩机和冷凝器排放到周围环境中的废热。因废热未被利用或回收,所以由废热引起的能量损失使得大多数制冷系统的效率较低。
在加热应用中,例如在热泵系统中,通过冷凝器提取存储在压缩的工作流体中的热量用以对空间或隔间进行加热。因为热泵系统的效率随周围环境温度而降低,所以在周围环境温度较低时可能需要由电辐射热源来补充加热。然而电辐射热源的效率一般较低,于是使得加热应用的整体效率较低。
在某些制冷应用中,为了降低湿度而需要将气流降至非常低的温度。然而,为了除去湿气所必需的低温对于需要调节温度的空间、隔间内的空间或隔间而言往往过低。在这种情况下,可通过电辐射热或热气旁路热量将除湿的冷空气重新加热至适当的温度,同时保持较低的湿度水平。利用电辐射热和热气旁路热量重新加热该过冷的空气使得此种类型的制冷应用效率较低。
发明内容
蒸汽压缩循环或回路可用来满足对一个或多个空间或隔间进行温度调节的温度或负载要求。由蒸汽压缩回路的部件产生的废热可用来产生为蒸汽压缩回路中的其它部件供电的电流。热电装置设置为与产生的废热进行传热并产生电流,该热电装置可用来产生电流用以为另一装置或另一热电装置供电。其它装置可包括传感器、开关、控制器、风扇、阀、致动器、泵、压缩机等。其它的热电装置可以对与该热电装置具有传热关系的流体进行冷却或加热,从而可对蒸汽压缩回路进行补充并且有助于空间或隔间的温度调节。利用产生的废热作为给其它部件或负载供电的能源可提高系统的效率。
本发明公开了一种制冷系统的运行方法,包括:将系统内产生的热量传送至热电装置,利用流经热电装置的热量产生电流,并且利用产生的电流为负载供电。负载可为另一装置或另一热电装置。
通过对与流经冷凝器下游的蒸汽压缩回路的工作流体具有传热关系的热电装置供电来运行制冷系统。利用热电装置可产生第一热流。将第一热流传送至第一流体介质。第二热流可从第一流体介质传送至第二流体介质。
通过下文的详细描述,本发明的其它应用领域将变得明显。应当理解,详细的描述和具体的示例仅用于说明的目的,而并非意于限制本发明的范围。
附图说明
通过详细的描述以及附图,将更加全面地理解本发明,其中:
图1-3是根据本发明的热电装置的使用示意图;
图4是根据本发明的热电装置的示意图;
图5是根据本发明的带有热电装置的压缩机的示意图;

具体实施方式
下面的描述实际上仅为示例性描述,决非意于限制本发明及其应用或使用。此处使用参考标记来描述多个实施方式。对于类似的元件使用类似的参考标记。例如,如果在某一实施方式中指定某一元件为10,则在接下来的实施方式中类似的元件可以指定为110、210等,或指定为10’、10”、10”’等。此处使用的术语“传热关系”指允许热量从一种介质传送至另一介质的关系,包括对流、传导和辐射等热传送。
热电元件或装置为:将电能转换成温度梯度,称为“珀耳帖效应(Peltiereffect)”,或者将热能从温度梯度转化成电能,称为“塞贝克效应(Seebeckeffect)”的固体装置。热电装置没有活动部分,所以其坚固、可靠并且安静。
使用时,通过电池或其它直流电源为热电装置供电,从而使其一端的温度相对较低而另一端的温度相对较高,并在其间形成温度梯度。此处将温度较低和较高的端分别称为“冷端”和“热端”。另外,术语“冷端”和“热端”还可指热电装置的具体的端部、表面或区域。
在一种应用中,热电装置的热端和冷端可设置成与两种介质具有传热关系。当热电装置通电后,所导致的温度梯度将促进热量经由热电装置在两种介质之间流动。在另一应用中,热电装置的一端可设置成与提供热源的温度相对较高的介质具有传热关系,而其另一端设置成与提供吸热的温度相对较低的介质具有传热关系,由此而导致的热端和冷端将产生电流。此处使用的术语“传热介质”可为通过其传送热量的固体、液体或气体。热电装置能够从不同的供货商处获得。例如,内华达州卡森市的KryothermUSA即为热电装置的供货商。
一个或多个热电装置可利用“塞贝克效应”从蒸汽压缩回路中产生的废热来产生电流。产生的电流可用来为其它电气装置或其它热电装置供电,所述的其它热电装置可利用“珀耳帖效应”产生温度梯度从而通过热电装置来传送热量。可利用电源来为热电装置供应电流,从而通过“珀耳帖效应”在热电装置中产生期望的温度梯度,并经由热电装置将热量传送至期望的介质。
图1中,第一热电装置20a利用废热或多余的热量Q废弃产生电流I,并利用电流I形成横跨第二热电装置20b的温度梯度从而生成回收的热量Q回收。热电装置20a的热端22a与废热Q废弃源具有传热关系。热电装置20a的冷端24a与能够对其排放Q废弃的吸热装置具有传热关系。
横跨第一热电装置20a所形成的温度梯度产生供应到第二热电装置20b的电流I。流经第二热电装置20b中的电流在第二热电装置20b中产生温度梯度从而产生热端22b和冷端24b。温度梯度使得回收的热量Q回收流经热电装置20b。第二热电装置20b的热端22b与将回收热量Q回收传导至其中的介质具有传热关系,而第二热电装置20b的冷端24b与热源具有传热关系。因此在图1中,第一热电装置20a暴露于废热Q废弃中从而使第二热电装置20b产生回收热量Q回收。
如图2所示,由热电装置20产生的电流也可用来激励或驱动电气装置或用来满足电力负载(下文称为负载26和/或“L”)。废热Q废弃再次被用来在热端22和冷端24之间产生温度差并产生电流I。因此在图2中,热电装置20设置成与废热Q废弃源和吸热装置具有传热关系,从而产生用以为负载26供电的电流I。此处使用的负载26一般指需要电流的任何一种装置。作为非限定性示例,这些装置包括:压缩机、泵、风扇、阀、螺线管、致动器、传感器、控制器以及制冷系统的其它部件。作为非限定性示例,传感器可包括例如:压力传感器、温度传感器、流量传感器、加速计、RPM传感器、位置传感器、电阻传感器等,并且在附图由“S”来表示。各种阀、螺线管和致动器在附图中由“V”来表示。
现参照图3,电源28连接到热电装置20用以产生所需的热量Q所需。电源28可为热电装置20供应电流I从而导致在热端22和冷端24之间形成温度梯度。该温度梯度产生所需的热量Q所需。热端22可设置成与将热量Q所需传导至其中的介质具有传热关系。电源28可调整电流I用以维持所需的温度梯度并且产生所需的热量Q所需。因此在图3中,电源28为热电装置20提供电流I,从而热电装置20产生所需的热量Q所需源。
如图4所示,热增强装置或导热体30、32可设置成与一个或多个热电装置20的端22、24具有传热关系,以增强或促进热电装置20和介质之间的传热。具有一个或多个导热体30、32的热电装置20此处被称为热电模块(TEM)33,它可包括多个热电装置20。导热体30、32此处可分别称为热导热体30和冷导热体32。应当理解,术语“冷”、“热”为相对术语,并用来指出与热电装置20的相应的热端或冷端具有传热关系的特定的导热体。
通过增加与将热量传导至其中的介质进行接触的热传导表面面积来增强传热。例如,微型通路管道系统可实现增强热流。流体介质流经其中的微型通路,并且热电装置的热端或冷端设置成与管道系统的外表面传热接触。当介质为例如空气的气体时,导热体可采取鳍片的形式,鳍片能够实现对将介质传热的增强。
为了增强传热,导热体可以成形为与热源的轮廓相匹配。例如,当需要将热电装置设置成与曲面具有传热关系时,导热体具有与传导热量的固体表面互补的曲面,而导热体的另一端与热电装置20的热端或冷端互补。
可通过热电装置20上的导热材料、涂层或覆盖物来实现传热的增强。导热体30、32可包括具有较高导热系数的材料、涂层或覆盖物,从而可以有效地传导经由热电装置20传送的热量。作为非限定性示例,拥有高导热系数的材料包括铝、铜和钢。此外,导热胶也可用来作为导热体30、32。不论其形式如何,导热体30、32具有高导热系数。
在蒸汽压缩循环或回路中,压缩机34将气态形式的相对较冷的工作流体(例如制冷剂)压缩成相对较高温度的高压气体。压缩过程产生废热Q废弃,废热Q废弃通过压缩机传导至周围环境。通过热电装置20可利用废热Q废弃为另一热电装置20和/或负载26供电。
参照图5,其示出示例性压缩机的各部分的示意图,其中在作为非限定性示例的此种涡旋压缩机34通常包括圆筒形密封壳体37,圆筒形密封壳体37具有焊接在其上端部的罩38以及焊接在其下端部的基座58。其中可带有排放阀(未示出)的制冷剂排放通道39附连到罩38。固定在壳体37上的其它主要元件包括:横向延伸的隔离部40,隔离部40绕其外周焊接到罩38焊接于壳体37的相同处;上、下轴承组件(未示出);以及压配合于壳体37中的电动机定子41。驱动轴或曲轴42的轴颈能够在上、下轴承组件中转动。壳体37的下部部分形成充满润滑油的油池43,在运行过程中润滑油分布于整个压缩机34内部。
曲轴42由电动机驱动而进行转动,电动机包括线圈穿过其中的定子41以及压配合到曲轴42上的转子44。转子44的上、下表面上分别具有上、下配重45、46。利用十字滑块联轴器(未示出)将曲轴42耦联到其上表面具有螺旋叶片或涡旋卷48的动涡旋构件47。还设置静涡旋构件49,其具有布置成与动涡旋构件47的涡旋卷48相啮合的涡旋卷50。静涡旋构件49具有中心设置的排放通道51,排放通道51可与由罩38和隔离部40所限定的排放消声腔52流体连通。壳体37上的入口53允许制冷剂流进吸入端或入口腔54。
压缩机34还包括:多个传感器;诊断模块;印刷电路板组件;螺线管,例如内外容量调节螺线管;开关,例如改变电动机36的电阻以提供用于启动的第一电阻和用于连续运转的第二电阻的开关;以及其它电力致动装置或负载26。这些电力装置可位于压缩机的内部或外部,可以是固定不动的或随压缩机的转动部件转动的。
运行过程中,电动机36致使转子44相对定子41转动,从而致使曲轴42转动。曲轴42的转动致使动涡旋构件47相对于静涡旋部件49转动。吸入腔54内的工作流体被抽入至涡旋卷48、50之间的空间,并且由于涡旋卷48、50之间的相对运动而使工作流体朝向中央部分行进。
被压缩的工作流体经由排放通道51从涡旋构件47、49排放并且流进排放腔52中。排放腔52内的工作流体处于相对高温和高压的状态。被压缩的高温、高压工作流体经由排放通道39从排放腔52中流出并流到其内部采用压缩机34的蒸汽压缩回路的其它部件上。
在运行过程中,整个压缩机34产生废热Q废弃。可将该废热Q废弃传导至热电装置20。废热Q废弃可由转子44产生,转子转动时变热并由内部分布的润滑油以及吸入腔54内的工作流体(吸入气体)来冷却。从转子44到润滑油和/或吸入端的工作流体的热流代表可传导至热电装置20的废热Q废弃源。
如图5所示,可附连到转子44的热电模块33a包括带有热端22a的热电装置20a。热端22a与转子44具有传热关系,而冷端24a与润滑油和吸入腔54内的工作流体具有传热关系。热端22a和冷端24a之间的温度差致使热量Qa流过热电模块33a,因此产生供应给负载26a的电流。附连到运动的转子44的热电模块33a为同样随着转子44或轴42一起转动的负载26a供电。例如,负载26a可包括:电阻开关——用来改变转子的电阻从而实现启动时的高电阻和正常运行时的低电阻、温度传感器、RPM传感器等。尽管所示的热电模块33a附连到转子44的上部,应当理解,热电模块33a能够附连到转子44的例如中部、下部或内部的其它部位、可与上或下配重45、46整合为一体、或与油池43中的润滑油直接接触。
将排放腔52内相对较热的排放气体与吸入腔54内相对较冷的吸入气体隔离的隔离部40可传导废热Q废弃,该废热可用来在热电装置20内产生电能。通过将热电模块33b附连到隔离部40,其中使热导热体30b与隔离部40具有传热关系并使冷导热体32b与吸入腔54内的吸入气体具有传热关系,从而废热Q废弃可从隔离部40经过热电模块33b并传送到吸入腔54内的吸入气体中。废热Qb在热电模块33b的热电装置20b中产生电流。热电模块33b可连接到内部的电力负载26b1或外部的电力负载26b2。热电模块33b可以以固定连接的方式附连到例如隔离部40的固定部件,这样有助于使其附连到压缩机34内部或外部的固定负载。通过将热电装置20设置成与传导废热Q废弃的固定部件具有传热关系,可产生为压缩机34内部或外部的负载26供电的电流。
来自排放腔52内相对较热的排放气体的废热Q废弃通过罩38传导至其中设有压缩机34的周围环境。热电模块33c可附连到罩38,使热导热体30c与罩38c的外表面具有传热关系同时使冷导热体32c与周围环境具有传热关系。如图5所示,冷导热体32c包括空气在其上流经的鳍片,而热导热体30c包括与罩38的外部轮廓相匹配的轮廓表面。热导热体30c与罩38的接触面积大于其与热电装置20c的热端22c的接触面积。周围空气与罩38之间的温度差致使废热Qc流经热电模块33c并产生为负载26c供电的电流,该负载可位于压缩机34的外部(26c1)或内部(26c2)。热电装置20可设置成与排放腔52内相对较热的排放气体(经由罩38)以及相对较冷的周围具有传热关系,从而提供可用来产生为负载供电的电流的温度梯度。
由于排放通道39内的排放气体与周围环境之间的温度差,将热电模块33d耦联到排放通道39,使热电模块33d的热导热体30d与排放通道39具有传热关系并使其冷导热体32d与周围环境具有传热关系,从而致使热量Qd流经热电模块33d。热电模块33d的热电装置20d产生用于为负载26d供电的电流。因此,热电装置20可设置成与排放通道内相对较热的气体以及与周围环境具有传热关系,从而产生可用来为负载供电的电流。
在位于动涡旋构件和静涡旋构件47、49的涡旋卷48、50之间的制冷剂受到压缩的过程中,当工作流体接近中央排放通道51时其温度和压力增高。其结果是在动涡旋构件47的一侧的相对较冷的吸入气体和靠近排放通道51的相对较热的排放气体之间的温度差产生废热Qe。热电模块33e可附连到动涡旋构件47的与排放通道51相邻或相对的部分。具体地,热电模块33e的热导热体30e设置成与通常和排放通道51相对的动涡旋构件47的底面具有传热关系。热电模块33e的冷导热体32e设置成与吸入腔54内的吸入气体和流经的润滑油具有传热关系。当废热Qe流经热电模块33e时,热电模块33e的热电装置20e产生可用来为负载26e供电的电流。因此,热电装置20可设置成与邻近动涡旋构件的排放气体和吸入气体具有传热关系,从而产生可用来为负载供电的电流。
在运行过程中,定子41产生废热Qf,该废热Qf被传送至在吸入腔54内部分布的润滑油和/或吸入气体。热电模块33f附连到定子41,热电模块33f的热导热体30f与定子41具有传热关系并且其冷导热体32f与吸入腔54内的润滑油和/或吸入气体具有传热关系。定子41与吸入腔54内的润滑油和/或吸入气体之间的温度差致使废热Qf流经热电模块33f,其中,热电装置20f产生可用来为负载26f供电的电流。虽然图示的热电模块33f附连到定子41的上部部分,应当理解,热电模块33f可附连到定子41的例如中部、下部或内部的其它部分、或直接与油池43内的润滑油接触。因此,热电装置可设置成与定子以及润滑油或吸入气体具有传热关系,从而产生用来为负载供电的电流。
压缩机34的油池43内的润滑油相对较热(相对于周围环境而言),并且废热Qg从润滑油通过壳体37传导至周围环境。可设置热电模块33g,使其冷导热体32g与周围环境具有传热关系并使其热导热体30g与油池43内的润滑油具有传热关系。这可通过将热电装置33g整合到壳体37的壁内来实现。润滑油和周围环境之间的温度差致使废热Qg流经热电模块33g中的热电装置20g,并产生能用来为负载26g供电的电流。因此,设置成与相对较热的润滑油以及相对较冷的周围环境具有传热关系的热电装置20可用来产生为负载供电的电流。
参照图6,其示出另一示例性压缩机的顶部部分的局部示意视图,其中作为非限制性示例示出直接排放的涡旋压缩机34’。压缩机34’与上述参照图5所讨论的压缩机34类似。然而,在压缩机34’中,排放通道39’直接与静涡旋构件49’的排放通道51’连通,从而压缩的工作流体(排放气体)直接从排放通道39’流进排放通道51’中。消音器56’附连到排放通道39’。相对较热的压缩的工作流体流经消音器56’。来自消音器56’内相对较热的排放气体的废热Q废弃经由消音器56’的壁传导至其中设有压缩机34’的周围环境。热电模块33’可附连到消音器56’,使热电模块33’的热导热体30’与消音器56’的外表面具有传热关系并使其冷导热体32’与周围环境具有传热关系。冷导热体32’可包括周围空气在其上流经的鳍片,并且热导热体30’可包括与消音器56’的外部轮廓相匹配的轮廓表面用以加强传热。周围空气和消音器56’之间的温度差致使废热Q流经热电模块33’并产生为负载26’供电的电流。因此,热电装置20’可设置成与消音器56’内相对较热的排放气体(经由消音器56’的外部表面)以及与相对较冷的周围环境具有传热关系,从而提供可用于产生为负载供电的电流的温度梯度。
参照图7所示,多压缩机系统60包括并联设置的压缩机341-34n,其中来自每个压缩机34的相对较热、高压的排放气体流进共同的排放集管61。排放气体和周围环境之间的温度差致使废热Q经由集管61从排放气体流到周围环境中。热电模块33设置成与排放集管61相邻,使热电模块33的热导热体30与排放集管61具有传热关系并使其冷导热体32与排放集管61附近的周围空气具有传热关系,从而可从流经热电模块33内的热电装置20的废热Q中产生电流。电流可用来为负载26供电。因此,在具有共同的排放集管的多压缩机系统中,热电装置可设置在集管内相对较热的排放气体和周围环境之间,从而从废热Q中产生为负载26供电的电流。
参照图8,示例性制冷系统64包括压缩机65、冷凝器66、膨胀装置67和蒸发器68,所述压缩机65、冷凝器66、膨胀装置67和蒸发器68连接在一起从而形成蒸汽压缩回路69。冷凝器66将热量Q3从流经其中的相对较热的工作流体传送至流经的气流并且冷凝工作流体。蒸发器68用于从流经的气流中提取热量Q4并将热量Q4传送至流经其中的相对较冷且膨胀的工作流体。
制冷系统64包括多种需要电力来运行的负载26。负载26可包括电力驱动的风扇70、71——其推动空气分别穿过冷凝器66和蒸发器68、各种阀、螺线管或致动器72以及各种传感器73。另外,负载26可包括控制器74,控制器74可用来控制或与阀72、传感器73、压缩机65、风扇70、71以及制冷系统64的其它部件进行通讯。制冷系统64的不同的电力需求可由供应电流的电力分配构件75来满足,从而为制冷系统64的不同的负载26供电。
不同负载26的电力需求可通过电源76来提供,电源76可通过电力分配模块75提供交流电和直流电。通过直接连接到电源76上的一个或多个电力分配装置和/或控制器74可以供应电流。
由制冷系统64产生的废热Q废弃可被传导至一个或多个热电装置20从而产生供应给负载26的电流。如图8所示,热电模块33a可从压缩机65获得废热Q1并产生供应到电力分配模块75的电流I。另外,热电模块33b可从流经蒸汽压缩回路69的相对高温的工作流体、特别是未被冷凝的压缩的工作流体中提取废热Q2,并且产生供应到电力分配模块75的电流I。
在制冷系统64的启动过程中,热电模块33不产生供应给负载26的电能。相反地,在启动过程中,由电源76供应电能。一旦制冷系统达到稳态(正常)运行,将产生废热Q废弃并且热电模块33可产生电流。
随着由一个或多个热电模块33所产生的电流的增加,可以降低对电源76的使用。负载26的电力需求可部分或全部通过由一个或多个热电模块33产生的电流来满足,热电模块33也可为一个或多个低能耗部件提供电流,而由电源76来满足例如压缩机65的高能耗部件的电力需求。
能量存储装置78可对制冷系统64中一个或多个部件提供临时的启动电能。例如可充电电池、超级电容器等的能量存储装置可存储足够量的电能来满足制冷系统64的部分或全部部件的需求,特别是在系统启动阶段的需求,直至热电模块33能产生足够电流来为这些部件供电。由热电模块33产生的多余电流可用来为能量存储装置78充电以用于以后的启动运行。因此,能量存储装置78可以是负载26的一部分。
在制冷系统64中,热电装置20可利用废热Q废弃来产生为制冷系统64的不同部件供电的电流。由热电装置供应的电流可用来补充电源76的电流和/或满足制冷系统的需求。另外,能量存储装置78可为制冷系统64提供初始的启动能量,直至一个或多个热电装置20能取代能量存储装置78来供应电能。
参照图9,制冷系统164包括蒸汽压缩回路169和热电模块133。产生为负载126供电的电流I的热电模块133可从流经位于压缩机165和冷凝器166之间的蒸汽压缩回路中的相对高温、未冷凝的工作流体中提取热量Q102,从而为流进冷凝器166中的工作流体降温。
作为非限定性示例,工作流体可以以182°F流出压缩机165并以约170°F抵达热电模块133。如果周围环境的温度是95°F的话,则横跨热电模块133的75°F的温差将产生废热Q102,废热Q102经由热电模块133从工作流体流到周围环境,这样在工作流体流进冷凝器166之前将工作流体的温度降低。由于所需由冷凝器166提取以满足蒸发器168要求的热量Q103降低,所以压缩机165可以以更高效率、或以更低容量、更低温度——如作为非限定性示例的115°F来运行。热电装置20可以在给未冷凝的工作流体降温时为负载126供电,从而满足部分或全部的电力需求并提高系统的效率。为工作流体降温使得冷凝器以更高效率运行或使其尺寸比工作流体未进行降温时所需的尺寸小,进一步帮助热电装置满足系统的电力需求。
参照图10,制冷系统264包括一对热电模块233a、233b,热电模块233b用来低温冷却流出冷凝器266的冷凝的工作流体。第一热电模块233a从压缩机265提取废热Q201,并产生供应给与蒸汽压缩回路269具有传热关系的第二热电模块233b的电流I。由第一热电模块233a供应的电流驱使第二热电模块233b产生温度梯度,从而允许从蒸汽压缩回路269中的冷凝的工作流体中除去热量Q205。热电装置220b的冷端224b与流出冷凝器266的蒸汽压缩回路269内的冷凝的工作流体具有传热关系,其中从冷凝的工作流体中提取热量Q205并将热量Q205传送至周围环境。为促进将从冷凝的工作流体中除去的热量Q205传送至周围环境,由风扇270产生的气流可直接吹向第二热电模块233b的热导热体230b。
第二热电模块233b可除去热量Q205从而低温冷却制冷系统264中的冷凝的工作流体,并提高制冷系统264的冷却能力。冷凝器266可将工作流体的温度降至接近周围环境的温度,而第二热电模块233b通过从工作流体中提取热量Q205而进一步将冷凝的工作流体冷却至低于周围环境的温度。低温的冷凝的工作流体为蒸发器268提供较大的冷却能力,因为其可从流经蒸发器268的空气中提取大量的热量Q204,因此而实现较大的冷却能力。
参照图11,其示出作为热泵运行的制冷系统364。在该系统中,利用热电模块333来加强制冷系统364的加热能力。热电模块333的热导热体330与流出压缩机365并流经辅助流动通路380的相对高温、高压的工作流体的一部分具有传热关系。热电模块333的冷导热体332与流出冷凝器366的冷凝的工作流体具有传热关系。电源376有选择地将电流供应到热电模块333,从而形成横跨热电模块333的温度梯度,热电模块333从冷凝的工作流体中提取热量Q306并将热量Q306传送至流经辅助流动通路380的相对高温、高压的工作流体,进一步提高工作流体的温度。
该高温工作流体被引导通过辅助冷凝器382以补充传送至流过冷凝器366的空气的热量。由风扇370产生的气流流过冷凝器366然后流过辅助冷凝器382。辅助冷凝器382将热量Q312从流经其中的高温工作流体传送至流过的空气,从而提高气流的温度并提供对于气流的额外传热。
流出辅助冷凝器382的冷凝的工作流体和流出冷凝器366的冷凝的工作流体在流过热电模块333之前汇合。冷凝的工作流体流经膨胀装置367和蒸发器368,其中从流经蒸发器368的空气中提取热量Q304。从而,制冷系统364中的热电装置将热量传送至流出压缩机的相对高温、高压的工作流体的一部分,随后该热量被传送至流经辅助冷凝器的气流,从而补充传送至气流的总热量。调节供应给热电装置的电流从而提供传送至流过冷凝器和辅助冷凝器的气流的不同大小的补充热量Q312。
参照图12,其示出作为作为热泵运行的制冷系统464。在制冷系统464中,热电模块433有选择地将热量传送至流经单相传热回路486的单相流体,从而增加了制冷系统464的加热能力。传热回路486包括泵487以及热交换器483,热交换器483设置成与冷凝器466相邻,使得由风扇470产生的气流既流经冷凝器466又流经热交换器483。
冷导热体432与流出冷凝器466的冷凝的工作流体具有传热关系,从而从工作流体中提取热量Q406。热导热体430与流经传热回路486的单相流体具有传热关系并将热量Q406传送至传热回路486。电源476调节流至热电模块433内的热电装置420的电流,以产生和维持所需的横跨热电装置420的温度梯度,从而产生传送至单相流体的所需大小的热量Q406并将单相流体的温度提高至所需温度。泵487泵送单相流体经过热交换器483,热交换器483将热量Q412从单相流体传送至流经的气流,这样提高了气流的温度。在传热回路486内可使用多种单相流体。作为非限定性示例,单相流体可为甲酸钾或其他类型的次级传热流体,例如可从英国剑桥郡的Environmental Process Systems Limited(环境处理系统有限公司)获得并以商标出售的单相流体等。在制冷系统464中,热电装置将热量Q406从流出冷凝器的冷凝的工作流体传送至流经传热回路的单相流体,传热回路将热量Q412传送至流经热交换器483的空气。
参照图13,其示出作为热泵运行的制冷系统564。制冷系统564与制冷系统464类似,但其多出第二单相传热回路588。第二传热回路588包括泵589和低温冷却器590。低温冷却器590与流出冷凝器566的冷凝的工作流体以及流经传热回路588的单相流体具有传热关系。低温冷却器590将热量Q507从流经其中的冷凝的工作流体传送至流经其中的单相流体,从而提高单相流体的温度。
热电模块533的冷导热体532与流经传热回路588的单相流体具有传热关系。热电模块533的热导热体530与流经传热回路586的单相流体具有传热关系。电源576调节流到热电装置520的电流以维持所需的横跨热电装置520的温度差,经由热电装置520将热量Q508从传热回路588中的单相流体传送至传热回路586中的单相流体。热量Q508使得流经传热回路586的单相流体的温度提高。热量Q512从流经传热回路586的单相流体被传送至流过热交换器583的空气,从而提高气流的温度。制冷系统564利用了彼此之间经由热电装置520而具有传热关系的两个单相流体传热回路586、588,从而补充了对流过冷凝器566的气流的加热。
参照图14所示,制冷系统664能够对由其所提供的冷空气进行除湿和重加热。制冷系统664包括带有流经其中的工作流体的蒸汽压缩回路669。蒸发器668以非常低的温度运行并从流过的气流中提取热量Q604,这样可降低气流的湿度和温度。经由热电模块633而具有传热关系的第一和第二传热回路691、692将热量传送至气流以提升气流的温度,从而使气流适合于其预期的应用。
第一传热回路691包括泵693和低温冷却器694并具有流经其中的单相流体。低温冷却器694将热量Q609从流出冷凝器666的冷凝的工作流体传送至流经第一传热回路691的单相流体,这样提高了单相流体的温度。冷导热体632与流经第一传热回路691的单相流体具有传热关系,而热导热体630与流经第二传热回路692的单相流体具有传热关系。电源676调节流到热电模块633中的热电装置620的电流,以维持所需的横跨热电装置620的温度梯度,并经由热电装置620将热量Q610从流经第一传热回路691的单相流体传送至流经第二传热回路692的单相流体。
热量Q610使得流经第二传热回路692的单相流体的温度提高。泵695泵送第二传热回路692中的单相流体经过再热器696。由风扇671所引起的气流既流过蒸发器668又流过再热器696。再热器696将热量Q611从流经其中的单相流体传送至流过的气流。热量Q611在不会增加湿度的情况下提高了气流温度。制冷系统664采用了利用热电装置而在彼此间具有传热关系的两个单相传热回路691、692来对由蒸汽压缩回路的蒸发器除湿和冷却的气流进行再加热。
