Valve layout for liquid sub-cooler:
-
Basis is the sub-cooling capacity
-
Evaporating temperature corresponds to the
ECO intermediate temperature.
-
Valves with a superheat adjustment of about 10
K should be used in order to avoid unstable
operation when switching on the sub-cooling
circuit and in connection with load fluctuations.
-
If the sub-cooling circuit is also operated under
part-load conditions, this must be given due
consideration when designing the valves.
•
Valve layout for evaporator:
Due to the high degree of liquid sub-cooling suction
mass flow is much lower than with systems with
similar capacity and no sub-cooler (see software
data). This requires a modified layout. In this
context the lower vapor content after expansion
must also be taken into consideration. For further
hints on the layout of expansion valves and evapora-
tors see Section 4.2.

Between that start and the stabilization of operating
conditions, the solenoid valve of the sub-cooling circuit
is switched on time delayed or depending on suction
pressure. For further hints and a schematic layout
diagram see Section 6.4.
