The running action of air conditioner 1 then, is described with reference to Fig. 3~Fig. 8.
At first, use Fig. 4 illustrates the cooling operation in the kind of refrigeration cycle.The kind of refrigeration cycle that flows of the cold-producing medium when Fig. 4 is the cooling operation of pneumatic regulator of presentation graphs 1.When carrying out the cooling operation of air conditioner 1, it is such to convert cross valve 72 to Fig. 4, major loop switch valve 713a, 713b are made as out, bypass cock valve 715a, 715b are made as the pass and form the cooling operation circulation, and running compressor 75, outdoor air supply motor 633 and indoor air supply motor 313.
The gas refrigerant that sucks in the compressor 75 is compressed by compressor 75, and become the gas refrigerant of HTHP, solid arrow direction to Fig. 4 flows, enter into the upside heat exchanger 731 and the downside heat exchanger 732 of the outdoor heat converter 73 that becomes condenser by cross valve 72, carry out heat exchange and be cooled condensing with outdoor air, become the cold-producing medium of liquid or gas-liquid mixed.
Then, cold-producing medium enters decompressor 74 by major loop switch valve 713a, 713b, is depressurized by expansion, becomes the cold-producing medium of the gas-liquid mixed of low pressure.This gas-liquid mixed refrigerant represents that in Fig. 4 the direction of arrow of the dotted line that flows of low pressure refrigerant flows, after passing through heat pipe 713d, flow out into indoor set 2 from off-premises station 6, enter into the indoor heat converter 33 that becomes evaporimeter, carry out heat exchange with room air and to indoor refrigeration, self is heated and becomes gas refrigerant and return compressor 75.
Then, use Fig. 5 that the running that heats that heats in the circulation is described.Fig. 5 is the refrigeration cyclic graph that flows that heats the cold-producing medium when turning round of the air conditioner of presentation graphs 1.When heating running, it is such to convert cross valve 72 to Fig. 5, major loop switch valve 713a, 713b are made as out, bypass cock valve 715a, 715b are made as close and form and heat operation cycle, and running compressor 75, outdoor air supply motor 633 and indoor air supply motor 313.
The gas refrigerant that sucks in the compressor 75 is compressed by compressor 75, and become the gas refrigerant of HTHP, solid arrow direction to Fig. 5 flows, enter into the indoor heat converter 33 that becomes condenser by cross valve 72, carry out heat exchange and be cooled condensing with room air, become the cold-producing medium of liquid or gas-liquid mixed.
The cold-producing medium that condenses and become liquid or gas-liquid mixed flows out into off-premises station 6 from indoor set 2, in bottom that is centered around outdoor heat converter 73 or defrost water outlet heat pipe 713d nearby, flow, the borneol that falls when melting defrosting also is discharged to it outside off-premises station 6 fully, can not produce residual frost in off-premises station 6.Cold-producing medium by heat pipe 713d enters decompressor 74, is depressurized by expansion, becomes the cold-producing medium of the gas-liquid mixed of low pressure.This gas-liquid mixed refrigerant represents that in Fig. 5 the direction of arrow of the dotted line that flows of low pressure refrigerant flows, by major loop switch valve 713a, 713b, enter into the upside heat exchanger 731 and the downside heat exchanger 732 of the outdoor heat converter 73 that becomes evaporimeter, carry out heat exchange with outdoor air and be heated, become gas refrigerant and return compressor 75.
Move by carrying out the above-mentioned running that heats that heats in the circulation repeatedly, proceed to heat running.
Heat when running this, outdoor heat converter 73 is owing to the outdoor air extract heat becomes low temperature, becomes sometimes below 0 ℃ and frosting on heat-transfer area.If the temperature of outer gas is low and humidity is high, then this now becomes obviously, owing to attached to the frost on the circulating face of outdoor air, and the circulation of obstruction outdoor air and reduce the air quantity of outdoor fan 631.If the air quantity of outdoor fan 631 reduces, then as replenishing this air quantity, the temperature of outdoor heat converter 73 is further descended, thus easier frosting.Like this, the frosting of outdoor heat converter 73 continues to increase, and air conditioner 1 reduces from the heat that outdoor air sucks, and heating capacity also reduces, and can not fully heat indoor, and so the function that forfeiture heats is the running that need defrost.
Then, use Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 to heating defrosting in the circulation, heating running and describe.Fig. 6 is the refrigeration cyclic graph that flows of the cold-producing medium of the top to outdoor heat converter of the air conditioner of presentation graphs 1 when defrosting, and Fig. 7 is the refrigeration cyclic graph that flows of the cold-producing medium of the bottom to outdoor heat converter of the air conditioner of presentation graphs 1 when defrosting.
As mentioned above, when heating running, in the big sky of moisture, frosting on outdoor heat converter 73, thus heating capacity descends.Be lower than the temperature of regulation in refrigerant temperature sensors 812, and in heating circulation, heat running and carried out the occasion more than the stipulated time, think that the amount of frosting reaches the amount of regulation, utilize the defrosting running that heats circulation.This defrosting running is set for when heating running cross valve 72 image patterns 6 identical like that, 713a is made as the pass with the major loop switch valve, 713b is made as out with the major loop switch valve, 715a is made as out with the bypass cock valve, 715b is made as the pass with the bypass cock valve, upside heat exchanger 731 in the outdoor heat converter 73 is worked as condenser, and downside heat exchanger 732 is worked as evaporimeter, thereby form the defrosting that defrosts simultaneously and heat, heat operation cycle.At this moment, the outdoor air supply motor 633 of low-speed running, the running of air supply motor 313 in the control room is so that blow out temperature and can keep more than the set point of temperature.
At this, the gas refrigerant that sucks in the compressor 75 is compressed by compressor 75, and become HTHP gas refrigerant, discharge to discharge pipe 711, branch on the way, a side cold-producing medium enters cross valve 72, and the opposing party's cold-producing medium enters hot-gas bypass pipe 715.
The cold-producing medium that enters a side of cross valve 72 flows along the solid arrow direction of Fig. 6, enters indoor heat converter 33, carries out heat exchange with room air and is cooled and condenses, and becomes the cold-producing medium of liquid or gas-liquid mixed.At this moment carry out indoor heating.The cold-producing medium that becomes liquid or gas-liquid mixed flows out from indoor set 2 and enters off-premises station 6, flows borneol and it is discharged to outside the off-premises station 6 around melting in heat pipe 713d.Cold-producing medium by heat pipe 713d enters decompressor 74, is depressurized by expansion, becomes the cold-producing medium of the gas-liquid mixed of low pressure.This gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows along the direction of arrow of the dotted line that flows of expression low pressure refrigerant among Fig. 6, by major loop switch valve 713b, enter into the downside heat exchanger 732 of the outdoor heat converter 73 that becomes evaporimeter, carry out heat exchange with outdoor air and be heated, become gas refrigerant and return compressor 75.
On the other hand, the cold-producing medium that enters hot-gas bypass pipe 715 is mobile along the solid arrow direction of Fig. 6, by the upside heat exchanger 731 of bypass cock valve 715a inlet chamber outer heat-exchanger 73.The cold-producing medium that enters upside heat exchanger 731 is a HTHP, so melt attached to the frost on the upside heat exchanger 731 and it is flowed down downwards.The thawing water that flows down flow into the downside heat exchanger 732 that works as evaporimeter, flows down in the frosting of melting downside heat exchanger 732 at first, becomes low temperature along with flowing down, and the occasion that the temperature degree is low etc. is frozen at last once more outside.
At this moment, to 732 heat supplies of downside heat exchanger, this heat promotes the gasification of the cold-producing medium of downside heat exchanger 732 inside to thawing water when flowing down.That is, in upside heat exchanger 731, be used for the hot frosting of melting a part of downside heat exchanger 732 of a part of the thawing of frosting, further help the gasification of inner cold-producing medium to be recovered, effectively use the heat that defrosts.
The cold-producing medium of frost of removing upside heat exchanger 731 is after flowing out upside heat exchanger 731, with the cold-producing medium interflow of gasification in the downside heat exchanger 732 and return compressor 75.Rise to set point of temperature if the defrosting running of upside heat exchanger 731 is carried out the refrigerant temperature sensors 811a of the outlet of stipulated time or upside heat exchanger 731, then secondly carry out the defrosting of downside heat exchanger 732.
Convert the defrosting of downside heat exchanger 732 to, 713a is made as out with the major loop switch valve, 713b is made as the pass with the major loop switch valve, 715a is made as the pass with the bypass cock valve, 715b is made as out with the bypass cock valve, downside heat exchanger 732 in the outdoor heat converter 73 is worked as condenser, and upside heat exchanger 731 is worked as evaporimeter, thereby form the defrosting that defrosts simultaneously and heat, heat operation cycle.At this moment, the outdoor air supply motor 633 of low-speed running, the running of air supply motor 313 in the control room is so that blow out temperature and can keep more than the set point of temperature.
At this, flow to indoor heat converter 33 from cross valve 72, identical when being depressurized the mobile of device 74 decompressions cold-producing medium before and upside heat exchanger 731 being defrosted.The cold-producing medium that is depressurized device 74 decompressions is mobile along the direction of arrow of the dotted line of Fig. 7, by major loop switch valve 713a, entering into becomes the upside of evaporimeter heat exchanger 731, carries out heat exchange with outdoor air and is heated, and becomes gas refrigerant and returns compressor 75.
The cold-producing medium that enters hot-gas bypass pipe 715 is mobile along the solid arrow direction of Fig. 7, by the downside heat exchanger 732 of bypass cock valve 715b inlet chamber outer heat-exchanger 73.The cold-producing medium that enters downside heat exchanger 732 is a HTHP, so melt attached to the frost on the downside heat exchanger 732 and it is flowed down downwards.The thawing water that flows down is discharged outside off-premises station 6 from the outlet of defrost water.The cold-producing medium of frost of removing downside heat exchanger 732 is after flowing out downside heat exchanger 732, with the cold-producing medium interflow of gasification in the upside heat exchanger 731 and return compressor 75.If with the defrosting running process stipulated time of downside heat exchanger 732, or the refrigerant temperature sensors 811b of the outlet of downside heat exchanger 732 rises to set point of temperature, then major loop switch valve 713a, 713b are made as out, bypass cock valve 715a, 715b are made as the pass, finish defrosting, heat running, directly turn back to the running that heats of Fig. 5.
As mentioned above, in the occasion that the air heat source and thermal pump air conditioner is heated running, if the humidity height of outdoor air then produces frosting on outdoor heat converter 73.If the generation frosting then ventilating duct of outdoor heat converter 73 narrows down, therefore the amount of the outdoor air of circulation reduces in outdoor heat converter 73.If the amount of the outdoor air of circulation reduces, then heat exchange amount tails off, and therefore the evaporating temperature of the cold-producing medium that flows in outdoor heat converter 73 in order to replenish it descends.The temperature of cold-producing medium descends then that the surface temperature of the outer gas side of outdoor heat converter 73 also descends, and more is easy to generate frosting, and frosting further develops.
Just reduce from the heat that outdoor air sucks with outdoor heat converter 73 in this case, therefore the heat of dispersing from indoor heat converter 73 also reduces and heating capacity is reduced, thereby indoor comfort is impaired.In order to prevent this situation, when the amount of the frosting of outdoor heat converter 73 surpassed the amount of regulation, the frosting of melting outdoor heat converter 73 by defrosting was discharged and it is flowed down outside machine.At this moment, the thawing water of the bottom of outdoor heat converter 73 by coming from top stream is therefore than the easy residual water droplet in top.Defrost running and begin to heat running as if finishing under the state of residual water droplet, then residual water droplet freezes and the ventilation of obstruction outdoor air.If hinder the ventilation of outdoor air, then frosting increases easily as mentioned above, and heating capacity continues to descend.
At this, bypass cock valve 715a at entrance side with the outdoor heat converter 73 that possesses the discharge side that connects compressor 75 and heating when, the hot gas bypass circuit of 715b, and in the air heat source and thermal pump air conditioner of the defrosting of the outdoor heat converter 73 when opening by-passing valve 715a or 715b and heating running, outdoor heat converter 73 above-below directions are divided into the bottom a plurality of refrigerant loops littler than top, and each loop is connected in parallel, and between each of indoor heat converter 33 and a plurality of refrigerant loops, major loop switching mechanism 713a is set, 731b, alternation switch major loop switching mechanism 713a, 713b and bypass cock valve 715a, 715b and, proceed to heat running with other loops simultaneously to defrosting in a loop of a plurality of refrigerant loops.
Thus, the downside heat exchanger 732 or the upside heat exchanger that do not defrost can be proceeded to heat running as evaporimeter.And when defrosting, the area of the heat exchanger that must thaw with the hot gas from compressor 75 narrows down when downside heat exchanger 732 is defrosted.Because as long as the frosting of this narrow scope of heating, the required time that therefore defrosts shortens.
In addition, as long as because the narrow scope of heating, so thermal capacitance easily spreads all over everywhere, fully thaw, and thawing and the temperature of the water droplet that flows down also rises, reduced viscosity and flowing down easily, and a part is easily to air evaporation.Like this, in downside heat exchanger 732, do not flow down and the amount of residual water droplet reduces.Thereby downside heat exchanger 732 becomes the few state that is not easy frosting of residual water when each defrosting, so carrying out of frosting is slack-off.If frosting carry out slack-offly, then correspondingly can postpone the beginning of the defrosting of outdoor heat converter 73, can be with defrosting, heat running and fully heat to indoor.
Therefore, the defrosting that defrosts when can be implemented in, heat running, can shorten defrosting, heat the required time of running, can keep indoor comfort for a long time indoor heating.
In addition, when generally heating under the temperature conditions of picture generation frosting, the situation that outer temperature degree is low is many, in order to improve the temperature of hot blast, demanding adiabatic condensation temperature, and, the suction pressure of compressor 75 is step-down because outer temperature degree is low, so compression ratio improves the decrease in efficiency of compressor 75.In order to remedy this situation, when using revolution control compressor etc., need to improve the internal circulating load that revolution is guaranteed cold-producing medium.And the workload of compressor 75 also increases heating capacity, and institute is so that fully work and guarantee heating capacity of compressor 75.Therefore, compressor 75 drives with high capacity, and compressor 75 keeps high temperature.If enter defrosting, heat running from this state, then because compressor 75 keeps high temperature, thus hot gas bypass circuit, flow with the condition of high temperature from the cold-producing medium of compressor 75 discharges, and flow into upside heat exchanger 731.
In addition, general, to the outdoor fan 631 of outdoor heat converter 73 air-supplies, effectively carry out heat exchange in order to make a large amount of circulations of outer gas, use aerofoil fan 631.Because the blast that aerofoil fan can produce is so not big, therefore the structure of off-premises station 6 constitutes outer aspiration inlet, outdoor heat converter 73, aerofoil fan 631 and outer air-blowing outlet is arranged in roughly straight line, ventilating path is made simple shape, thereby suppress the pressure loss of ventilation.
Like this, owing to a large amount of outer gas is ventilated, the amount of therefore passing through the outer gas of outdoor heat converter 73 changes according to the place owing to the difference of ventilating path.In the occasion of separation chamber's outer heat-exchanger 73 up and down, the bottom of outdoor heat converter 73 is subjected to the influence on ground more strongly than top, though minimum, flowing resistance can increase.Because this minimum difference, the amount of the outer gas that flows in the bottom of outdoor heat converter 73 reduces slightly.
Therefore, if compare the upper and lower of outdoor heat converter 73, then downside heat exchanger 732 is compared with upside heat exchanger 731, and wind speed is slack-off, and heat exchange performance descends.Therefore, downside heat exchanger 732 is compared with upside heat exchanger 731, becomes low temperature, frosting easily.And, because the thawing water during the defrosting by the upside heat exchanger 731 that comes from top stream of the bottom of outdoor heat converter 73, therefore than the easy residual water droplet in top.If finish defrosting under the state of residual water droplet, heat running, and begin to heat running, then residual water droplet freezes, and hinders the ventilation of outdoor air.If hinder the ventilation of outdoor air, then as mentioned above, and then frosting increases easily.
So, when carrying out the defrosting of outdoor heat converter 73, order with upside heat exchanger 731, downside heat exchanger 732 defrosts, and is set at the defrosting time of downside heat exchanger 732 also longer than the defrosting time of the upside heat exchanger 731 that carries out before.Thus, frosting on outdoor heat converter 73, and frosting degree defrosts, heats running successively from upside heat exchanger 731 when reaching the ormal weight that needs defrosting.At first, in the refrigerant loop of upside, flow, defrost, heat running from the gas of hot gas bypass circuit.The hot gas owing to flow in the refrigerant loop of upside is so attached to the frost melts on the air side heat-transfer area of the refrigerant loop of the upside of outdoor heat converter 73, flow down downwards.
In the high occasion of the temperature of this thawing water, thawing water contacts with the frosting of the air side heat-transfer area of downside heat exchanger 732, further flows down when the sensible heat with thawing water self melts this frosting.At this moment, the part of melting frostings at downside heat exchanger 732 is removed the frosting that hinders heat to transmit, thus carry out smoothly moving from the heat of outer gas to cold-producing medium, the recovery heat exchange capacity, thus the decline of indoor heating capacity suppressed.If the temperature of the thawing water that flows down drops to fusing point, then thawing water can not melt frosting again and flow down, and is solidified by the refrigerant cools of the downside refrigerant loop that flows in the downside heat exchanger when flowing down.
At this moment, the cold-producing medium of the heat of solidification of thawing water heating downside refrigerant loop is so be used for being recovered at the heat of the thawing of upside heat exchanger frosting.If finish to be used for the defrosting of upside heat exchanger 731 defrosting, heat running, then then begin to be used for the defrosting of downside heat exchanger 732 defrosting, heat running.Owing in the refrigerant loop of downside, flow,, carry out the defrosting of downside heat exchanger 73 downwards so, flow down attached to the frost melts on the air side heat-transfer area of the refrigerant loop of the downside of outdoor heat converter 73 from the hot gas of compressor 75.
At this moment, upside heat exchanger 731 defrosting that just has been through with so removed the frosting that hinders heat to transmit, is therefore carried out moving from the heat of outer gas to cold-producing medium smoothly, the recovery heat exchange capacity, thus suppress the decline of indoor heating capacity.Like this, also can suppress the decline significantly of heating capacity in defrosting, when heating running, proceed simultaneously to heat.
In addition, when the defrosting of upside heat exchanger 731, the frosting degree of downside heat exchanger 732 temporarily increases.But, since finish and then to be used for after the defrosting of upside heat exchanger 731 defrosting of upside heat exchanger 732 defrosting, heat running, so downside heat exchanger 32 is also defrosted.Thereby the frosting that can not have a downside heat exchanger 732 continues to increase and produces the situation of residual frost.Therefore, frosting can be removed fully, residual frost can be do not produced.
In addition, in initial defrosting, heat the defrosting that the hot gas of high temperature can be used for upside heat exchanger 731 in the running, so though defrosting, heat running time short, can be to defrosting on a large scale.At this moment, also be in the condition of high temperature, so though heating capacity reduces, the time is short, so the change of room temperature is little, can suppress the decline of indoor comfort owing to be transported to the temperature of the cold-producing medium of indoor heat converter 33.
Like this, can in the short time after begin to defrost, heating running, finish the defrosting of large-scale upside heat exchanger 731, and be converted to the defrosting of downside heat exchanger 732.In the defrosting of the defrosting that is used for downside heat exchanger 732, heat running, the scope of the downside heat exchanger 732 that defrosts is narrower than upside heat exchanger 731, but owing to before the top of carrying out upside heat exchanger 731 defrosting, heat running the temperature of the discharge gas of compressor 75 descended, so this defrosting, heat running required time elongated.
In addition, because easily frosting on downside heat exchanger 732, so need fully to increase this defrosting, heat the time of running and prevent to produce residual frost.But, at this moment because the defrosting of upside heat exchanger 731 of being through with, so upside heat exchanger 731 can be given full play to its heat-exchange capacity, receive heat from outer aspiration, suppress the decline of the discharge temperature of compressor 75, the temperature that suppresses hot gas descends, and can defrost, heat running.Thus, this defrosting, the required time that heats running are controlled so as to about 2 times of defrosting required time of square heat-exchanger, thus with the situation comparison of reverse cycle defrosting running can shorten upside heat exchanger 731 and downside heat exchanger 732 defrosting, heat the total of the required time of running.And, at this moment, suppressed the decline of the discharge temperature of compressor 75, so can also suppress the decline of heating capacity.Therefore, defrost in the time of can be to indoor heating, and can shorten defrosting, heat the required time of running.
Generally, in order efficiently to heat running, the discharge temperature of the compressor 75 when heating running is controlled in about 70 ℃.Compressor 75 with hyperbaric chamber, owing to this discharging refrigerant is full of in the hyperbaric chamber, so compressor 75 can keep high temperature.In addition, for after the defrosting that finishes outdoor heat converter 73, begin to heat running easily, the discharge temperature of the compressor 75 when requiring defrosting to finish is more than the room temperature, descend if consider from compressor 75 to indoor heat converter 33 temperature, then preferably more than 25 ℃.
In the present embodiment, on the basis of following idea, make the present invention, promptly, by shortening forbidding the time of defrosting, restriction finishes defrosting attached to the amount of the frosting on the outdoor heat converter 73 and with the heat that is stored in the compressor 75, thereby can shorten the required time of defrosting, accelerate to turn back to the recovery of the heating capacity after heating
At this, have compressor 75, cross valve 72, indoor heat converter 33, decompressor 74 that possesses steely shell and the outdoor heat converter 73 that possesses aluminum fin, and outer temperature degree is to be set at below the numerical value of following formula (1) during defrosting more than 0 ℃ the time is forbidden.
The caloric receptivity (kW) of the quality of (branch)=8 * compressor (kg) ÷ outdoor heat converter during the longest defrosting is forbidden ... (1)
Thus, 70 ℃~25 ℃ the heat that is stored in the compressor of high temperature can be used for the defrosting of outdoor heat converter 73, can be from indoor draw heat.For example in the air conditioner of heating capacity 6.7kW grade, the quality of compressor 75 is about 12kg.Therefore, the amount of stored heat Q that can utilize is about 12 (quality) * 0.435 (specific heat: owing to being estimates to suppose all to make of iron and steel) * (70-25)=235kJ.
But at this moment,, therefore need to add that also frosting and outdoor heat converter 73 rise to 0 ℃ of required heat because the temperature of outdoor heat converter 73 is about-5 ℃.This heat can be regarded as an one-tenth of amount of stored heat Q roughly, is 235-24=211kJ so can be used for the heat of the thawing of frosting.
On the other hand, the air quantity of the outdoor air-supply arrangement 63 of the air conditioner of this grade is 12.5m
3About/min, the temperature degree is that the caloric receptivity of outdoor heat converter 73 is estimated as 4.0kW near the many runnings of 5 ℃/4 ℃ (DB/WB) frosting degree outside.The mean temperature of the outdoor heat converter 73 of this moment is about-4 ℃, and sensible heat ratio is 0.65, and frosting degree is 1.9kg/h.The required heat of the thawing of this frosting is 634kJ.Thus, if be set at (235-24) ÷ 634=0.33 hour=in 20 minutes, just can only carry out the defrosting of outdoor heat converter 73 during defrosting forbidden with the accumulation of heat of compressor 75.
At this, the heating capacity condition determination of air heat source and thermal pump air conditioner is the ISO specification, the state of outer gas is as 7 ℃/6 ℃ (DB/WB), so by being designed under this state, not enter the defrosting running, thereby if outer temperature degree produces frosting hardly than the temperature rising of 5 ℃ of high then outdoor heat converters 73.On the other hand, if outer temperature degree is lower than 5 ℃, then the absolute temperature of outer gas descends, so frosting degree tails off.Therefore, in calculated example with near 5 ℃ of the maximum outer temperature degree of frosting degree as an example.
In addition, though the air output of outdoor air-supply arrangement 63 is set at 12.5m
3About/min, even but air quantity changes, and the temperature change of outdoor heat converter 73, as shown in Figure 3, near the slope of the saturated steam line this temperature is also roughly the same with the value of above-mentioned sensible heat ratio, so the sensible heat ratio after changing also is 0.65.Thereby frosting degree does not change yet, and is 1.9kg/h.In a word, if caloric receptivity certain (if heating capacity is certain), near heating in the running this temperature then, frosting degree is certain.
Like this, if know the quality and the heating capacity of compressor 75, just obtain general the heating the duration of runs that reaches the defrosting amount that can be only defrosts with the amount of stored heat of compressor 75, during will forbidding as defrosting than the time that lack this duration of runs.Have again, outdoor heat converter 73 is divided into a plurality of refrigerant loops up and down, in defrosting, heat running at least more than one the refrigerant loop of cutting apart is worked as evaporimeter.Thus, in defrosting, when heating running, also can make from the caloric receptivity of the part of the outdoor heat converter 73 that works as evaporimeter and the heat that energising produced of compressor 75 and partly help indoor heating, suppress the decline of the heating capacity of indoor set 2, descend thereby can suppress indoor temperature.Therefore, can prevent the decline of indoor comfort.
In addition, during being forbidden, defrosting was made as 20 minutes~5 minutes.Thus,, limited the frosting degree of outdoor heat converter 73, can only supply defrosting, heat the defrosting heat when turning round with the accumulation of heat of compressor 75 for nearly all heating capacity grade.Therefore, can prevent the decline of indoor comfort.
Also have, follow outer gas decrease of temperature, the discharge temperature of control compressor 75 moves to high temperature side, and shorten defrost forbid during.Thus, the amount of stored heat of compressor 75 increases, and defrosts, heats and shorten the duration of runs, accelerates to turn back to the recovery of the discharge temperature that heats the compressor 75 when turning round, and shorten the fall time of heating capacity.Therefore, the room temperature that also can control defrosting under low outer temperature degree, heat when turning round changes.
In addition, defrost, heat when running and also reduce when heating running the revolution of outdoor fan 631, and the temperature degree occasion lower than setting outside, when turning round, defrosting stops the running of outdoor draft fan.Like this, by in defrosting, heat when running and reduce the revolution of outdoor fan 631, in defrosting, reduced by the heat that outer aspiration goes because of the forced convertion due to the outdoor fan 631 from thawing water and fin, conduit when heating running, white thawing is carried out efficiently.In addition, the temperature of gas further reduces outside, and the occasion that the heat dissipation capacity of outside gas increases stops the running of outdoor fan 631.Thus, the most of heat that is gone by outer aspiration because of the forced convertion due to the outdoor fan 631 is effective to white thawing, and the defrosting of outdoor heat converter 73 is carried out efficiently.Therefore, can shorten defrosting, heat the duration of runs, and under low outer temperature degree, also can not defrost, heat the residual frost of generation in the running.
In addition, also do not reach the occasion of setting until the temperature that reaches the longest defrosting outdoor heat converter duration of runs 73 even defrost to turn round, conversion cross valve 72 carries out the reverse cycle defrosting running.Thus, near the refrigerant loop outlet (the outdoor heat converter inlet during cold air) of the outdoor heat converter 73 of failing to melt fully by the hot-gas bypass defrosting of carrying out reverse cycle defrosting running, can be melted in heating in the circulation residual frost with high temperature refrigerant from compressor 75.
Like this and since be provided with condition and meteorological condition deterioration and in common defrosting, heat in the running occasion that produces residual frost, can not have the running of defrosting completely of residual frost yet.Therefore, can enlarge and to carry out the indoor condition that is provided with that heats and the scope of meteorological condition.
Then, with reference to Fig. 8 the beginning characteristic that heats of present embodiment is described.The performance plot that room temperature when Fig. 8 is the entry into service that heats of air conditioner of presentation graphs 1 changes.At this, suppose it is cold morning, room temperature, outer temperature degree are all from-5 ℃ state.
Shown in the characteristic of Fig. 8, present embodiment pass through heat the running and the defrosting, heat in the mode of running, the defrosting the duration of runs be approximately 2 minutes shorter, and, also work and carry out indoor heating in defrosting, the part that heats outdoor heat converter in the running as evaporimeter, therefore the decline of indoor temperature also is controlled in about about 3 ℃, guarantees comfortableness and proceed to heat.And, to time of advent of 20 ℃ of indoor temperatures be 80 minutes shorter.
