Abstract
A refrigeration system and a lubricating method thereof. The refrigeration system (100) includes: a compressor (110), a condenser (120), an evaporator (130), and a lubrication circuit (200), the lubrication circuit including a post-lubrication flow path (230,240,260) connected from the compressor into the condenser and the evaporator respectively; and a pre-lubrication flow path (210,220,250) connected from the condenser and the evaporator into the compressor respectively; wherein after flowing from the condenser via the pre-lubrication flow path to the compressor for lubrication, a part of refrigerant for lubrication can flow back to the evaporator via the post-lubrication flow path; or after flowing from the evaporator via the pre-lubrication flow path to the compressor for lubrication, the part of refrigerant for lubrication can flow back to the condenser via the post-lubrication flow path.
