Abstrakt

The article presents a small steam ejector refrigeration machine using R718 (water) as the refrigerant and powered by a low temperature heat source of 90°C. The objective of this course is the design and troubleshooting of a liquid refrigerant pump. Because of the thermal and physical properties of water, all components of the machine, including the pump operate in a deep vacuum. The high latent heat of water has a significant effect on the required refrigerant flow, resulting in increased demands on the refrigerant pump. One of the critical and practical problems of such design is implementation of a suitable small liquid pump where contradictory parameters are required - small but stable liquid flow at deep under pressure, reliability, long service interval, problematic cooling of pump electric motor and reasonable price. One of the solutions can be using of a pump working in combination with a pressure tank. In this concept the running time of the pump is controlled by the water level in the tank. The working characteristics of this cooling circuit solution are discussed.
