Abstract

Abstract:

Enhanced vapor injection refrigeration system has been widely used in the environmental control system of modern aircraft due to the advantages of high system efficiency and low operating cost. For the system designing and controlling, a dynamic simulation model of the enhanced vapor injection refrigeration system for aircraft is developed, and the experimental validation is performed. By abstracting the working principle of the compressor into three independent processes, an explicit calculation model of vapor-injected compressor based on physical theory is established; the dynamic models of the condenser and evaporator are developed based on moving-boundary method; and the solution algorithm of the system model is presented based on mass-guided method. Experimental validation results show that, the proposed model can well predict the dynamic trends of pressure and temperature responses; under the experiment conditions, the time-average deviations of the predicted system pressure and temperatures are 2.55% and -3.29℃, respectively.

Key words: enhanced vapor injection, refrigeration, dynamic simulation, algorithm
