A refrigeration system comprises a gas cooler, a flash tank, a work recovery device located downstream from the gas cooler, one or more evaporators unit located downstream from a second outlet of the work recovery device, and a controller communicatively coupled to the work recovery device.

Hot gas defrost using a work recovery device

A refrigeration system includes an expansion valve downstream of one or more medium temperature compressors. The expansion valve is configured to decrease pressure of a portion of refrigerant output by the one or more medium temperature compressors. When defrost operation of an evaporator is indicated, the refrigerant with decreased pressure from the expansion valve is provided to the evaporator for at least a period of time sufficient to defrost the evaporator.

Hot gas defrost using medium temperature compressor discharge

A refrigeration system includes a dedicated defrost-mode compressor that delivers high pressure, high temperature refrigerant to one or more evaporators to defrost the evaporators.

Hot gas defrost using dedicated low temperature compressor discharge

In certain embodiments, a transcritical refrigeration system provides refrigeration by circulating refrigerant through the system. The system includes a gas cooler, a heat exchanger, a high pressure expansion valve, a flash tank, refrigeration cases, and compressors. The gas cooler cools the refrigerant to a first temperature. The heat exchanger cools the refrigerant flowing from the gas cooler to the high pressure expansion valve to a second temperature. The high pressure expansion valve is coupled to the flash tank, which is coupled to the refrigeration cases. The refrigeration cases are coupled to the compressors, which are coupled to the gas cooler. An expansion valve between the gas cooler and the heat exchanger may cool the refrigerant flowing to the heat exchanger. A high pressure vapor compressor between the heat exchanger and the gas cooler may compress the refrigerant flowing from the heat exchanger to the gas cooler.
