Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the priority to Chinese Patent
Application No. 201811425179.X filed by State Intellectual Property

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] This application belongs to the field of air conditioner
technologies, and more particularly, relates to an air-conditioning
system with mixed working medium.
BACKGROUND
[0003] At present, an intermediate gas supplement system is widely
used because the system can better meet the requirements of
low-temperature working conditions and performances thereof can be
greatly improved. However, for a mixed working medium composed of
two or more refrigerants with different boiling points, under a
phase equilibrium state in a gas-liquid separator, low-boiling
point components evaporate first, so that the refrigerant
supplemented to the compressor is a refrigerant rich in the
low-boiling point components. The refrigerant with low boiling
point has the characteristics of being easy to evaporate but
difficult to condense. However, this gas supplement refrigerant
only participates in condensation but not evaporation. This brings
two effects: the condensation process contains more low-boiling
point components which are not easy to condense, while the
evaporation process contains more high-boiling point components
which are not easy to evaporate, thus further leading to poor
performances of the evaporation process and the condensation
process. In fact, for the gas supplement system with mixed working
medium, the refrigerant rich in the high-boiling point components
is the best one, but this kind of refrigerant belongs to the part
which is not easy to evaporate in the gas-liquid separator, and
makes the refrigerant difficult to evaporate.
[0004] Because more low-boiling point working medium is typically
supplemented into the compressor of the gas supplement system with
mixed working medium in the prior art to cause poor performance in
the condensation process, and less low-boiling point working medium

process, thus resulting in technical problems such as poor
