Abstract

See full text

A vapor compression refrigeration system has a main refrigerant circuit having a primary compressor group, a gas cooler or condenser, an expansion device, a liquid receiver, and at least one evaporator. An emergency circulation duct fluidically connects the liquid receiver to the main circuit to allow a flow of refrigerant from the liquid receiver to the gas cooler. An emergency compressor group in the emergency circulation duct is activatable when pressure inside the liquid receiver or in the duct upstream of the emergency compressor group meets or exceeds a predefined emergency pressure threshold. An uninterruptible power supply powers the emergency compressor group and expansion device during a shutdown of the refrigeration system. When pressure inside the liquid receiver or in the duct upstream of the emergency compressor group equals or exceeds the predefined emergency pressure threshold, an emergency circulation of refrigerant fluid is activated through the emergency circulation duct.
