Abstract (en)

Provided is a closed-cycle air refrigeration system 10A in which high-temperature, high-pressure air refrigerant compressed by a compressor 22 is cooled by a water cooled heat exchanger 16 and a heat recovery heat exchanger 18, then expanded by an expander 26 to obtain very low-temperature and low-pressure air refrigerant. This low-temperature, low-pressure air refrigerant is supplied to a brine cooler 20. The system includes a sealed air refrigerant supply/discharge system 50 formed by an expansion tank 51, a compressor inlet-side connecting passage 52, and a compressor outlet-side connecting passage 54. A pressure sensor 62 detects a pressure of the air refrigerant in a compressor inlet-side air refrigerant passage 12a, and air refrigerant is supplied or discharged between the expansion tank 51, and the compressor inlet-side air refrigerant passage 12a or a compressor outlet-side air refrigerant passage 12b such that the air refrigerant pressure stays within a preset range.
