Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2995885A1] A two-stage refrigeration cycle system includes a higher-stage compressor 21, a higher-stage condenser 22, a higher-stage expansion device 23, and a higher-stage evaporator 24 connected in a higher-stage refrigeration cycle 20 by pipes through which refrigerant circulates therein, a lower-stage compressor 11, an auxiliary radiator 15, a lower-stage condenser 12, a lower-stage expansion device 13, and a lower-stage evaporator 14 connected in a lower-stage refrigeration cycle 10 by pipes through which refrigerant circulates therein, a cascade condenser C including the higher-stage evaporator 24 and the lower-stage condenser 12 and configured to heat exchange between the refrigerant flowing in the higher-stage refrigeration cycle 20 and the refrigerant flowing in the lower-stage refrigeration cycle 10, and a controller 30 configured to switch between a two-stage operation in which both the higher-stage refrigeration cycle 20 and the lower-stage refrigeration cycle 10 operate and a single-stage operation in which the higher-stage refrigeration cycle 20 stops and the lower-stage refrigeration cycle 10 operates, so as to select one of the two-stage operation and the single-stage operation having a higher COP.
