Abstract: The invention concerns a cascade refrigerating system (4) comprising a first high temperature
refrigeration system operating with a first refrigerant, where the first high temperature
system comprises heat exchanging means (2), where heat is exchanged from a
second low temperature refrigeration system, which second low temperature refrigeration
system comprises pumping means arranged to supply refrigerant to evaporating
means (40,42,44). The purpose of the invention is to provide an energy efficient refrigerating
system that is suitable for refrigerant circulation with reduced energy consumption for
circulation of refrigerant in refrigeration systems. This can be achieved with a system
as described in the opening paragraph if the cascade refrigeration is modified so that
the second low temperature refrigeration system comprises at least two pumping vessels (20,22)
connected through respective check valves (13,14,28,30), which pumping vessels are connected
to heating means (64,66), in which refrigerant is evaporated for generating a higher pressure,
which high pressure is led to the top of the pumping vessels for pressing refrigerant
with high pressure towards the evaporation means. It is hereby achieved that when the
liquid refrigerant is exposed to the heating means, it evaporates and generates pressure
in the related vessel. In this way, the circulation system can operate with refrigerant
completely without oil since the system does not include any compressors or pumps.
This leads to a better performance and a better heat transfer.
