Abstract

A refrigerating apparatus, wherein the capacity of a compressor (21) is set based on a Froude number Fr during the washing operation. The Froude number represents the ratio of the inertia force of a gas refrigerant flowing in a gas side communication tube (70) to a gravity acting on a fluid in the gas side communication tube (70). During the washing operation, the capacity of the compressor (21) is set so that the Froude number Fr is equal to or larger than 1, and the inertia force of the gas refrigerant flowing in the gas side communication tube (70) becomes larger than the gravity acting on the fluid containing mineral oils and foreign matters in the gas side communication tube (70). Accordingly, the fluid containing the mineral oils and foreign matters is pushed up by the gas refrigerant also at the vertical portion of the gas side communication tube (70). Thus, the mineral oils and foreign matters remaining in an existing fluid side communication tube (60) and the gas side communication tube (70) can be collected.

Old system cryogen is that mineral oil and foreign matter remain in the liquid side tube connector 60 with refrigerator oil.This mineral oil and foreign matter are flowed into the liquid refrigerant that comes in the liquid side tube connector 60 and are washed away.Then, liquid refrigerant and the mixtures of liquids that contains mineral oil, foreign matter are in indoor expansion valve 32 inflow indoor heat exchangers 33.In indoor heat converter 33, liquid refrigerant and room air heat exchange and evaporate.Vaporized cold-producing medium flows in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 together with the liquid that contains mineral oil, foreign matter.
Old system cryogen is that mineral oil and foreign matter remain in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 with refrigerator oil.This mineral oil and foreign matter are followed the liquid that contains mineral oil, foreign matter that flows out in the liquid side tube connector 60 and are washed away by gas refrigerant together.Then, gas refrigerant and the mixtures of liquids that contains mineral oil, foreign matter through gaseous state side draught excluder 27 and four-way change-over valve 23, flow in the returnable 40 from inflow pipe 41 again.
Flowed into gas refrigerant and the mixtures of liquids that contains mineral oil, foreign matter in the returnable 40, discharged towards the bottom of this returnable 40.Wherein contain the bottom of the fluid storage of mineral oil, foreign matter in returnable 40.Gas refrigerant is discharged to the refrigerant loop 10 from 40 li of returnable by effuser 42, again from the air entry one side inflow compressor 21 of compressor 21.
Described cleaning was carried out after the stipulated time, remained in the liquid side tube connector 60 both established and the liquid that contains mineral oil and foreign matter in the gaseous state side tube connector 70, was recycled to together in the returnable 40 with the gas refrigerant that flows through refrigerant loop 10.Thus, old system cryogen is that mineral oil and foreign matter are removed from liquid side tube connector 60 and gaseous state side tube connector 70 with refrigerator oil.
After cleaning finishes, close and flow into valve 51 and outflow valve 52, open bypass valve 53.Afterwards, flow into valve 51 and flow out valve 52 and close always, bypass valve 53 is opened always.Under this state, it is the running of refrigeration mode, the running of heating mode that switching is turned round usually.
-refrigeration mode, heating mode-
In the running of refrigeration mode, four-way change-over valve 23 becomes the state of representing with solid line among Fig. 1.The cold-producing medium of discharging from compressor 21 flows into 22 li of separators, by behind the four-way change-over valve 23, condenses with the outdoor air heat exchange in outdoor heat converter 24 again.Curdy cold-producing medium, by outdoor expansion valve 25, flow through liquid side tube connector 60 again after, in indoor heat converter 33, evaporate with the room air heat exchange.Vaporized cold-producing medium flows through gaseous state side tube connector 70, flow through four-way change-over valve 23 and shunt valve 54 again after, air entry one side of getting back to compressor 21.
In the running of heating mode, four-way change-over valve 23 becomes the state that dots among Fig. 1.The cold-producing medium of discharging from compressor 21 flows into 22 li of separators, by behind four-way change-over valve 23 and the gaseous state side tube connector 70, condenses with the room air heat exchange in indoor heat converter 33 again.Curdy cold-producing medium flows through liquid side tube connector 60, by behind the outdoor expansion valve 25, evaporates with the outdoor air heat exchange in outdoor heat converter 24 again.Vaporized cold-producing medium behind four-way change-over valve 23 and shunt valve 54, is got back to air entry one side of compressor 21.
Operating condition in the-cleaning-
As mentioned above, in the cleaning of described air conditioner, wash away by the cold-producing medium that flows through refrigerant loop 10 and to remain in the liquid side tube connector 60 both established and the liquid that contains mineral oil and foreign matter in the gaseous state side tube connector 70, be recovered in the returnable 40.Remark additionally, in cleaning, the cold-producing medium that also can flow through gaseous state side tube connector 70 only is the dried running of gas phase; The cold-producing medium that also can flow through gaseous state side tube connector 70 is the wet running of gas phase and liquid phase.
At this, in described air conditioner, also there is outdoor unit 20 to be installed in the situation of the top of indoor units 30.In this case, along vertical direction liquid side tube connector 60 and gaseous state side tube connector 70 are set.If carry out cleaning with the described air conditioner that is provided with like this, towards current downflow, gas refrigerant flows in gaseous state side tube connector 70 liquid refrigerant up in liquid side tube connector 60.
The air conditioner of this example, the capacity of setting the compressor 21 in the cleaning makes Froude number Fr greater than 1.Under this state, to compare with acting on the gravity that remains in the gaseous state side tube connector 70, contains on the liquid of mineral oil and foreign matter, the inertia force of gas refrigerant that flows through gaseous state side tube connector 70 is bigger.In other words, the part of extending along vertical direction in gaseous state side tube connector 70 acts on making a concerted effort up on the liquid that contains mineral oil and foreign matter.Therefore, the part of in gaseous state side tube connector 70, extending along vertical direction, the liquid that contains mineral oil and foreign matter is also pushed to the top by gas refrigerant.Like this, the liquid that remain in the gaseous state side tube connector of both having established 70, contains mineral oil and foreign matter is just removed from the gaseous state side tube connector of both having established 70 by cleaning.The liquid of having removed from the gaseous state side tube connector of both having established 70, contain mineral oil and foreign matter positively is recovered in the returnable 40.
At this, because old system cryogen and old system cryogen are that mineral oil is dissolving each other and flows through liquid side tube connector 60 with refrigerator oil, foreign matter is washed away by old system cryogen of liquid phase, so the mineral oil, the foreign matter amount that remain in this liquid state side tube connector 60 are considerably less.In carrying out the liquid side tube connector 60 of cleaning, liquid refrigerant is towards current downflow.Therefore, mineral oil and the foreign matter that remains in the liquid side tube connector 60 pushed to the below by liquid refrigerant.So, consider the Froude number Fr in the gaseous state side tube connector 70, then can from liquid side tube connector 60, also positively remove mineral oil and foreign matter.
In the air conditioner of this example, the capacity of setting the compressor 21 in the cleaning makes the Froude number Fr of gaseous state side tube connector 70 greater than 1.With reference to Fig. 2 its reason is described.
In Fig. 2, transverse axis shows the Froude number Fr with (formula 1) expression, and the longitudinal axis shows the residual volume ratio.The ratio of residual volume, be to be under the situation of a reference value, carried out remaining in after the cleaning in 1 to 3 hours the mineral oil in liquid side tube connector 60 and the gaseous state side tube connector 70, the ratio of relative this a reference value of foreign matter amount to remain in the mineral oil in liquid side tube connector 60 and the gaseous state side tube connector 70 and the tolerance of foreign matter.
As shown in Figure 2, greater than 1 zone, Froude number Fr is big more at Froude number Fr, and residual volume is than just more little.This is because along with the increase of Froude number Fr, and the inertia force of gas refrigerant and the difference that acts on the gravity on the liquid that contains mineral oil, foreign matter enlarge, the power that contains the gas refrigerant that the liquid of mineral oil, foreign matter is subjected to increase so.If Froude number Fr is increased to more than 1.4 or 1.4, then residual volume is bigger than the slope of relative Froude number Fr; If Froude number Fr becomes more than 1.5 or 1.5, the residual volume ratio is just smaller or equal to 1; If Froude number Fr becomes 1.6, residual volume becomes about 0.3 than just; If Froude number Fr becomes more than 1.6 or 1.6, residual volume is than just reducing very lentamente.
Like this, greater than 1 and less than 1.5 zone, about 1 to 3 hours residual volumes after the cleaning have been carried out than greater than 1 at Froude number Fr.In other words, more residual down in liquid side tube connector 60 and the gaseous state side tube connector 70 after the cleaning than more mineral oil of tolerance and foreign matter.Yet, if carry out longer cleaning of time, just can make residual volume than less than 1, make to remain in liquid side tube connector 60 and compare still less with tolerance with mineral oil, foreign matter amount in the gaseous state side tube connector 70.
So in cleaning, the capacity of setting compressor 21 makes Froude number Fr greater than 1.Say that the capacity of more preferably setting compressor 21 makes Froude number Fr more than or equal to 1.5; The best is to make that Froude number Fr is about 1.6.
Remark additionally, in described cleaning, set the capacity of compressor 21, make Froude number Fr on be limited to 120.Under the capacity of setting compressor 21 makes that Froude number Fr is more than or equal to 1.5 state, even under the different situation of operating conditions such as air conditions outside, also can be by carrying out cleaning in about 1 to 3 hours, make residual volume than less than 1, can finish the liquid side tube connector 60 both established and the cleaning of gaseous state side tube connector 70.
At this, established the capacity of the compressor 21 in the cleaning in advance in the design phase of air conditioner, so that in the condition that can estimate under the strictest condition, Froude number Fr is also greater than 1.The strictest condition is, in the condition that can estimate, and the gas refrigerant density d in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 gFluid density d in minimum and the gaseous state side tube connector 70 1Maximum operating condition.Use might be present in the value of the liquid component of density maximum in the liquid component in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 as fluid density d 1Value.The d of She Dinging like this 1Value, certain bigger than actually existing in the interior density of liquid of gaseous state side tube connector 70.Therefore, if in cleaning, start compressor 21 with the capacity of setting as described above, the Froude number Fr in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 just positively surpasses 1, and the liquid in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 is positively washed away by gas refrigerant.
But, gas refrigerant density d g, density of liquid d 1Value change with temperature and pressure.So, in the air conditioner of this example, consider measured value, the guess value of actual temperature and pressure when carrying out cleaning, the setting value of the capacity of the compressor 21 in the cleaning that revisal is set in advance.
Remark additionally, also can be such, each condition in a plurality of operating conditions is stored compressor 21 capacity that are suitable in the cleaning, from a plurality of setting values of having stored, select to be suitable for the setting value of actual operating condition when carrying out cleaning then.In this case, carry out test under the different operating conditions, determine positively to clean compressor 21 capacity of gaseous state side tube connector 70, this value is stored in the air conditioner by the cleaning down of each operating condition in the design phase of air conditioner.
The effect of-example 1-
In this example, according to compressor 21 capacity in the Froude number Fr setting cleaning.In other words, consider the Froude number Fr of relation of the inertia force of the gas refrigerant that shows the gravity on the liquid act in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 and flow through gaseous state side tube connector 70, set compressor 21 capacity in the cleaning.
At this, because old system cryogen and old system cryogen are that mineral oil is dissolving each other and flows through liquid side tube connector 60 with refrigerator oil, foreign matter is washed away by old system cryogen of liquid phase, so the mineral oil, the foreign matter amount that remain in this liquid state side tube connector 60 are considerably less.Flow through the liquid refrigerant of liquid side tube connector 60, to compare proportion bigger with the gas refrigerant that flows through gaseous state side tube connector 70, and the inertia force of liquid refrigerant is compared bigger with the inertia force of gas refrigerant.So,, then can wash away the mineral oil and the foreign matter that remain in the liquid side tube connector 60 if can wash away mineral oil and the foreign matter that remains in the gaseous state side tube connector 70.
Therefore, behind Froude number Fr setting compressor 21 capacity to the liquid in the gaseous state side tube connector 70, gas refrigerant, just can positively wash away the liquid that contains mineral oil, foreign matter that remains in liquid side tube connector 60 and the gaseous state side tube connector 70 with cold-producing medium, be recovered in the returnable 40.Thereby, according to the present invention, can be by cleaning, positively reduce liquid side tube connector 60 and the mineral oil in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 and the residual volume of both having established of foreign matter, can prevent resulting from the trouble of mineral oil.
In this example, compressor 21 capacity of setting in the cleaning make Froude number Fr greater than 1.In this case, flow through gaseous state side tube connector 70 gas refrigerant inertia force with act on the gravity that remains in the gaseous state side tube connector 70, contains on the liquid of mineral oil and foreign matter and compare bigger, the part of vertically extending in gaseous state side tube connector 70 also can be pushed the top to the liquid that gas refrigerant will contain mineral oil and foreign matter.So,, can further reduce liquid side tube connector 60 and the mineral oil in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 and the residual volume of foreign matter both established according to this example.
If compressor 21 capacity of also setting in the cleaning make Froude number Fr more than or equal to 1.5, the inertia force that flows through the gas refrigerant of gaseous state side tube connector 70 just becomes to act on and remains in the gaseous state side tube connector 70, contains more than 1.5 times or 1.5 times of gravity on the liquid of mineral oil and foreign matter, the part of vertically extending in gaseous state side tube connector 70, the effect that the liquid that will contain mineral oil and foreign matter with gas refrigerant is pushed the top to also increases.So, can spend the scavenging period about 1 to 3 hours positively to reduce liquid side tube connector 60 and the mineral oil in the gaseous state side tube connector 70 and the residual volume of both having established of foreign matter.
