Head Pressure Control
In a system with variable pressure control the receiver
pressure is maintained at the desired pressure by supplying
discharge gas to it through an adjustable outlet regulator.
Further power savings may be realized by directing only the
hot gas to the top of the receiver to minimize the mixing of
cold liquid and hot gas. As a result subcooled liquid is fed to
the evaporators resulting in increased refrigeration effect and
efficiency. Also, the amount of hot gas, that would otherwise
condense to wary liquid, is reduced and a lower cost, smaller
regulator can be used. In general, only one third of bypass is
needed compared to mixing the gas and liquid entering the
receiver.
Valve Functions
Referring to the Figure above, Valve A is an Inlet Pressure
Regulator in the liquid drain line from the condenser, and
senses the condenser pressure. The regulator closes as the
condenser pressure drops below the set point, thus back-
flooding the condenser and reducing the inside surface area
available for condensing.
Valve B is and Outlet Pressure Regulator in the bypass line
from compressor discharge to the condenser liquid drain line.
This valve senses the receiver pressure and opens when this
pressure drops below the set point, thus maintaining the
receiver pressure.
Valve C is an In-line Check Valve in the liquid drain line to
prevent higher pressure from backing up into the condenser
during low ambient conditions when the compressor is idle.
