<first step 〉
In first step, make gaseous state side stop valve 26 become closed condition, and make liquid side stop valve 25 become open mode.Because four-way change-over valve 33 and expansion valve 36 to outdoor loop 21 are not regulated especially, so this four-way change-over valve 33 and expansion valve 36 are in the same state of state when finishing with the running of refrigerating plant 10.Under this state, the maintenance of gaseous state side is communicated with gaseous state side connecting pipe 24, indoor loop 22 and liquid side connecting pipe 23 with valve port 28, also is communicated with outdoor loop 21 by liquid side stop valve 25.
As shown in Figure 2, refrigerant recoverer 45 is connected the maintenance of gaseous state side with on the valve port 28.Remark additionally, refrigerant recoverer 45 is the devices that comprise vavuum pump and returnable.Refrigerant recoverer 45 constitutes and can will be accommodated in the returnable with the cold-producing medium that vavuum pump attracts.After refrigerant recoverer 45 being connected on the gaseous state side maintenance usefulness valve port 28, make the vavuum pump running of refrigerant recoverer 45.
Under normal conditions, before making the vavuum pump running, the amount of liquid refrigerant that is present in indoor loop 22 and the liquid side connecting pipe 23 is more than the amount of liquid refrigerant that is present in the gaseous state side connecting pipe 24.If make vavuum pump running under this state, the cold-producing medium of the part that is communicated with valve port 28 with the maintenance of gaseous state side in the refrigerant loop 20 just keeps in repair to the gaseous state side and moves with valve port 28.Afterwards, along with the running of vavuum pump, the cold-producing medium of indoor loop 22 and liquid side connecting pipe 23 is keeping previous status or is becoming the gas-liquid two-phase state flowing in the gaseous state side connecting pipe 24.Therefore, be attached to the refrigerator oil on the gaseous state side connecting pipe 24, perhaps be dissolved in the liquid refrigerant (being in the cold-producing medium of gas-liquid two-phase state), perhaps owing to flowing of cold-producing medium is flushed away, thereby by strip off.Refrigerator oil after the strip off is recovered with valve port 28 from the maintenance of gaseous state side with cold-producing medium.The running of the vavuum pump in the first step is continued the stipulated time (for example one minute).The time of the ownership cryogen that does not reclaim in the refrigerant loop 20 part that is communicated with valve port 28 with the maintenance of gaseous state side will be set at duration of runs of vavuum pump.After first step just finished, cold-producing medium became the state in liquid side connecting pipe 23, indoor loop 22 and the gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 that residues in refrigerant loop 20.
<the second step 〉
In second step, the same with described first step, make gaseous state side stop valve 26 become closed condition, and make liquid side stop valve 25 become open mode.Under this state, liquid side maintenance all is communicated with the both sides of valve port 27 with the closed position of stop valve 25.In other words, liquid side maintenance is communicated with liquid side connecting pipe 23, indoor loop 22 and gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 with valve port 27, also is communicated with outdoor loop 21.As shown in Figure 3, will be connected liquid side maintenance from the refrigerant recoverer 45 that the maintenance of gaseous state side is unloaded down with valve port 28, make the vavuum pump running of refrigerant recoverer 45 again with on the valve port 27.
One makes vavuum pump running, and the cold-producing medium of the part that is communicated with valve port 27 with liquid side maintenance in the refrigerant loop 20 just keeps in repair to liquid side and moves with valve port 27.Then, along with the running of vavuum pump, the liquid side cold-producing medium (being in the cold-producing medium of gas-liquid two-phase state) of indoor loop 22 and gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 flow in the liquid side connecting pipe 23.Therefore, be attached to the refrigerator oil on the liquid side connecting pipe 23, perhaps be dissolved in the liquid refrigerant (being in the cold-producing medium of gas-liquid two-phase state), perhaps owing to flowing of cold-producing medium is flushed away, thereby by strip off.Refrigerator oil after the strip off is recovered with valve port 27 from liquid side maintenance with cold-producing medium.In second step, the running of vavuum pump lasted till till the pressure that liquid side maintenance is measured on valve port 27 becomes value below first force value of regulation, to reclaim most of cold-producing medium than the position of gaseous state side stop valve 26 and liquid side stop valve 25 also close indoor units 13 1 sides.
<third step 〉
In third step, carry out first work and second work.When first work, make gaseous state side stop valve 26 become closed condition, and make liquid side stop valve 25 become open mode, the same with described first step and described second step.Then, will be connected on the heat source side valve port 9, make the vavuum pump running of refrigerant recoverer 45 again from the refrigerant recoverer 45 that liquid side maintenance is unloaded down with valve port 27.One makes the vavuum pump running, and the cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 just is recovered.In first work, the running of vavuum pump lasted till till the pressure of measuring on the heat source side valve port 9 becomes less than the value below second force value of the regulation of first force value.
At this, because if only carry out first work, just occur the anxiety of following situation, so also carry out second work, described situation is: the cold-producing medium that does not reclaim ratio piston compressor 30 also close gaseous state side stop valve 26 1 sides in the outdoor loop 21, in other words, under being in the situation of first state, do not reclaim four-way change-over valve 33 at the ejiction opening of compressor 30 and the cold-producing medium between the gaseous state side stop valve 26; Be at four-way change-over valve 33 under the situation of second state and do not reclaim at the suction inlet of compressor 30 and the cold-producing medium between the gaseous state side stop valve 26.In second work, will be connected the maintenance of gaseous state side from the refrigerant recoverer 45 that heat source side valve port 9 is unloaded down with on the valve port 28.Then, from the state that gaseous state side stop valve 26 is being closed and liquid side stop valve 25 is being opened, Yi Bian little by little open gaseous state side stop valve 26, Yi Bian make the vavuum pump running.One makes the vavuum pump running, and the cold-producing medium that residues in the outdoor loop 21 after first work just is recovered.In second work, the running of vavuum pump lasted till in the maintenance of gaseous state side till the pressure of measurement becomes less than the value below the 3rd force value of the regulation of second force value on valve port 28.Like this, most of cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 just is recovered.
Remarking additionally, little by little opening gaseous state side stop valve 26 and carrying out second work, is in the cold-producing medium and refrigerator oil inflow gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 in outdoor loop 21.In other words, after first work, occur the anxiety of following situation, that is: the both sides that will clip gaseous state side stop valve 26 by comparison, the pressure of gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 1 sides is lower than the pressure of outdoor loop 21 1 sides.In this case, if open gaseous state side stop valve 26 sharp, the cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 and refrigerator oil will flow in the gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 that has reclaimed cold-producing medium and refrigerator oil of having required great effort.Therefore, Yi Bian little by little open gaseous state side stop valve 26, Yi Bian carry out second work.
In the present embodiment, when the first step and second step, concerning each bar connecting pipe 23,24, the flow velocity of cold-producing medium in own under the situation that is sucked out cold-producing medium from own that nearer side valve mouth 27,28 be greater than the flow velocity of cold-producing medium in own under the situation that is sucked out cold-producing medium from oneself that side valve mouth 27,28 far away, because the energy loss under the situation that is sucked out cold-producing medium from oneself that nearer side valve mouth 27,28 is smaller.Therefore, be attached to cold-producing medium on the gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 when shelling often during with the first step of valve port 28 sucking-off cold-producing mediums, and the cold-producing medium that is attached on the liquid side connecting pipe 23 is shelled often when second step of keeping in repair from liquid side with valve port 27 sucking-off cold-producing mediums from gaseous state side maintenance.In this embodiment, by in first step and second step from different valve ports 27,28 sucking-off cold-producing mediums, come in each bar connecting pipe 27,28, to peel many refrigerator oils off respectively.
In addition, in the present embodiment, because when first step, make gaseous state side stop valve 26 be in closed condition, so the cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 can not flow through gaseous state side stop valve 26 and be sucked out with valve port 28 from the maintenance of gaseous state side.In addition, because when first step, make liquid side stop valve 25 be in open mode,, the cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 flows into indoor units 13 1 sides so flowing through liquid side stop valve 25.Therefore, with the situation of carrying out first step under liquid side stop valve 25 closing state is compared, it is more with the refrigerant amount of indoor units 13 1 sides between valve port 28 and the liquid side maintenance usefulness valve port 27 to flow through gaseous state side maintenance when the first step and second step.
The effect of-embodiment-
In the present embodiment, when first step, keep in repair with valve port 28 sucking-off cold-producing mediums from the gaseous state side, next main strip off is attached to the refrigerator oil on the gaseous state side connecting pipe 24, from liquid side maintenance valve port 27 sucking-off cold-producing mediums, next main strip off is attached to the refrigerator oil on the liquid side connecting pipe 23 when second step.In other words, though under the situation of any valve port 27, the 28 sucking-off ownership cryogen from valve port 27,28, be difficult to reclaim the refrigerator oil of the connecting pipe 23,24 that is positioned at a side opposite with the valve port 27,28 of sucking-off, but because carry out in the present invention from the maintenance of gaseous state side with the first step of valve port 28 sucking-off cold-producing mediums with from second step of liquid side maintenance, so can from each bar connecting pipe 23,24, reclaim many refrigerator oils with valve port 27 sucking-off cold-producing mediums.In addition, according to the existing method of carrying out cold-producing medium filling work for the yield that increases refrigerator oil, need carry out the work more than three times at least, and the method according to this invention, can be by the refrigerator oil of first step and this twice efficient work ground recovery gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 of second step and liquid side connecting pipe 23.And, because do not fill cold-producing medium,, thereby can shorten in order to reclaim the required time of cold-producing medium so the refrigerant amount that will reclaim is very little.Therefore, according to the present invention, can reclaim refrigerator oil efficiently, and alleviate to reclaiming required labour.
Remark additionally, do not need in the present embodiment to carry out the cold-producing medium of refrigerant loop 20 is collected finding time in the outdoor loop 21.In addition, because do not find time, so even under the situation that compressor 30 is out of order, can reclaim the work of refrigerator oil yet.
In addition, in the present embodiment, when first step, be in closed condition, avoid the cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 to flow through gaseous state side stop valve 26 and be sucked out with valve port 28 from the maintenance of gaseous state side by making gaseous state side stop valve 26.Therefore, compare with the situation of carrying out first step under the state of opening gaseous state side stop valve 26, the flow velocity of cold-producing medium in gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 is higher, thereby strip off and the refrigerator oil mass that is recovered is bigger on the gaseous state side connecting pipe 24.
In addition, in the present embodiment, because under the state of opening liquid side stop valve 25, carry out first step, so, liquid refrigerants in the container 39 will occur lodging in and flow into situation in the liquid side connecting pipe 23 if expansion valve 36 is being opened.Like this, flowing through gaseous state side maintenance when the first step and second step will be more with the refrigerant amount of indoor units 13 1 sides between valve port 28 and the liquid side maintenance usefulness valve port 27.In other words, it is more to circulate in the total amount of the cold-producing medium in gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 and the liquid side connecting pipe 23.Therefore, can be from the more refrigerator oil of strip off on gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 and the liquid side connecting pipe 23 and the refrigerator oil after reclaiming this strip off.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the third step of the cold-producing medium by reclaiming outdoor loop 21, make behind the recovery method that carries out this refrigerator oil, residue in the cold-producing medium in the outdoor loop 21 amount seldom.Particularly in the present embodiment, by carrying out reclaiming first work of cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 and second work of reclaiming the cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 with valve port 28 when the third step, just can positively reclaim the cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 from the maintenance of gaseous state side from heat source side valve port 9.Therefore, under the situation of changing outdoor unit 11, can omit the work of from the outdoor unit of unloading down 11, reclaiming cold-producing medium.In addition, under the situation of the cold-producing medium of changing refrigerant loop 20, can improve the reliability of refrigerating plant 10.
In addition, in the present embodiment, by little by little opening gaseous state side stop valve 26 when the third step on one side, carry out on one side avoiding the cold-producing medium in outdoor loop 21 and refrigerator oil inflow to reclaim in the gaseous state side connecting pipe 24 of cold-producing medium and refrigerator oil from the work of gaseous state side maintenance with the cold-producing medium in the outdoor loop 21 of valve port 28 recovery.Therefore, can avoid refrigerant loop 20 and behind third step, become the state that need from gaseous state side connecting pipe 24, reclaim cold-producing medium or refrigerator oil.
The variation of-embodiment-
Variation to embodiment is illustrated.This variation is to adopt recovery method under the situation of the refrigerating plant 10 that heat source side valve port 9 is not set, refrigerator oil.In this variation, carry out the first step and second step with described embodiment the samely, and when third step, only carry out second work.When second work, will be connected the maintenance of gaseous state side from the refrigerant recoverer 45 that liquid side maintenance is unloaded down with valve port 27 with on the valve port 28.Then, from closing gaseous state side stop valve 26 and open the state of liquid side stop valve 25, Yi Bian little by little open gaseous state side stop valve 26, Yi Bian make the vavuum pump running.
