Vapor injection

The VCH115 compressor is tted with an injection port that enables to carry out vapor injection by connecting an

intermediate exchanger.

This vapor injection will have three benets:

• Operating envelope enlargement by reduction of resulting discharge temperature.

• Cooling capacity and cooling eciency improvement by reduction of the liquid temperature before expansion

(Intermediate exchanger acting as economizer).

• Heat capacity and heating eciency improvement by increase of the massow at the condenser side (condenser

massow will be the sum of the evaporator massow and the injected massow).

The diagrams below explain the vapor injection principle, considering:

m inj: Injected massow

ΔT IntX: Dierence of temperature between the outlet of intermediate exchanger and the intermediate pressure

bubble point.

Suct SH: Superheat at compressor suction.

Inj SH: Superheat of injected gas (at intermediate pressure).

SC: Subcooling at intermediate exchanger inlet.

For system with vapor injection we should also consider, in addition of the suction superheat and the condenser

subcooling, the injection superheat and Intermediate exchanger DeltaT as key inuent parameters on the

compressor performance.

The injection massow must be regulated through an EXV piloted by the injection superheat which must be above

5 K.

It is recommended to install an additional solenoid valve on the injection line to prevent the refrigerant to come

back directly into the compressor scroll set in case of power shortage.

The vapor injection must not be activated during defrost course.

Wet injection

Whenever the vapor is no longer enough to cool the scroll and the application requires more envelope then the

controller must reduce the injection SH down to zero and control the injection by reading the compressor DGT. This

part is called wet (to dierentiate from liquid). There is no gain in eciency and capacity, only envelope.

Considering the distance between sensor and scroll set, the wet injection is activated for when discharge

temperature exceeds 121°C (250°F) at the measurement point (the surface of discharge pipe with 40mm away from

the compressor discharge port). A minimum 4K (7.2°F) subcooling is necessary to ensure correct wet

injection.Injection temperature set point is 130°C (266°F), maximum safety value is 135°C (275°F).

General Information

When choosing a refrigerant, dierent aspects must be taken into consideration:

• Legislation (now and in the future)

• Safety

• Application envelope in relation to expected running conditions

• Compressor capacity and eciency

• Compressor manufacturer recommendations & Guidelines

Additional points could inuence the nal choice:

• Environmental considerations

• Standardisation of refrigerants and lubricants

• Refrigerant cost

• Refrigerant availability

R410A

R410A is a HFC blend (R32: 50%; R125: 50%) with a zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP=0) and a Global Warming

Potential of 1924/AR5 (2088/AR4). It is a near-azeotropic mixture with a temperature glide less than 0.2 K.

With its high net refrigeration eect coupled to a high density, the R410A has appeared in last decade to be the

preferred refrigerant for use in commercial air conditioners and heat pumps.
