Abstract

In this paper, a cascade refrigeration system equipped with a single-screw compressor (SSC-CRS) is proposed and built in order to achieve the goal of high load cooling capacity under ultra-low temperature conditions. Firstly, the isentropic efficiency curve of the single-screw compressor (SSC) is fitted through experimental method in response to the characteristics of low suction temperature and large pressure ratio of the compressor. In addition, the analysis of SSC-CRS with 28 refrigerant pairs are made to compare the coefficient of refrigeration (COP) and power consumption. On the basis of the cascade system, the paper compares the improvement of performance between two circuits with SSC: vapor injection cascade refrigeration system (SSC-ICRS) and ejector vapor injection cascade refrigeration system (SSC-EICRS). The results indicate the COP improvement rate of SSC-ICRS system is 17.39 %–41.98 % and the COP improvement rate of SSC-EICRS system is 49.46 %–68.37 % compared with SSC-CRS.
