From high-pressure side refrigerant pipe 6 by branch to the small quantity of bypass pipe 38, the gas refrigerant that is in high pressure flows into above-mentioned long-pending oil pipe body 31.The lubricating oil flowing into long-pending oil pipe body 31 is directed to equal oily guide pipe 40 from bypass pipe 38 under the effect by capillary applied pressure.
The first electromagnetic opening and closing valve 42 being located at this equal oily guide pipe 40 is controlled as usually to be opened, and is directed to distributor 43 to make the lubricating oil flowed out from long-pending oil pipe body 31.In distributor 45, lubricating oil is directed to the stream be separated towards three directions from inflow entrance, and flows out via the flow export of each stream.
That is, in distributor 43, lubricating oil is branched in the first oil return pipe the 55 ~ three oil return pipe 57 equably.Then, lubricating oil is directed to the first suction refrigerant pipe 18a ~ three from the first oil return pipe the 55 ~ three oil return pipe 57 and sucks refrigerant pipe 18c.Especially, the lubricating oil being directed to the second oil return pipe 56 is being controlled as circulation in the oily backflow non-return valve 58 opened.
Flow into first to suck lubricating oil that refrigerant pipe 18a ~ three suck refrigerant pipe 18c and circulate with in kind of refrigeration cycle and together with the vaporized refrigerant of deriving from storage tank 15, be inhaled into the first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c.
Such as, the fuel head of the first compressor 3a sets high than the connection bit of the first oil equalizing pipe 30a, and the fuel head of the second compressor 3b sets low than the connection bit of the second oil equalizing pipe 30b, and the fuel head of the 3rd compressor 3c is the link position of the 3rd oil equalizing pipe 30c.That is, in each compressor 3a ~ 3c, oil level each other there will be deviation sometimes.
Now, lubricating oil flows into the first oil equalizing pipe 30a be connected with the first compressor 3a, and the gas refrigerant of high pressure flows into the second oil equalizing pipe 30b be connected with the second compressor 3b.Lubricating oil and the gas refrigerant of above-mentioned inflow oil equalizing pipe 30a, 30b converge in long-pending oil pipe body 31, be admixture, and be directed to equal oily guide pipe 40 when flowing out from here.
Then, above-mentioned lubricating oil and gas refrigerant flow into distributor 43 from equal oily guide pipe 40, and are branched to three streams equably.Above-mentioned lubricating oil and gas refrigerant suck refrigerant pipe 18a ~ three from distributor 43 via the first oil return pipe the 55 ~ three oil return pipe 57, first and suck refrigerant pipe 18c etc. and be directed to the first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c.
Like this, lubricating oil will move by compressor such as the second compressor 3b from the compressor of the more side of the oil mass of lubricating oil such as the first compressor 3a towards the less side of oil mass.Therefore, the oil level rapid equalisation in the first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c can be made.
On the other hand, in the gas refrigerant of discharging from the first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c, be mixed with by a part for the lubricating oil accumulated in each compressor.Above-mentioned fluid-mixing is discharged towards discharging refrigerant pipe 4a ~ 4c, and is directed to oil eliminator 7 from high-pressure side refrigerant pipe 6.In this oil eliminator 7, lubricating oil is separated by from gas refrigerant.
Be connected with the bottom of oil eliminator 7 first oily delivery line 51 is provided with the 3rd electromagnetic opening and closing valve 53, but this electromagnetic opening and closing valve 53 is in closed condition usually.Therefore, temporarily accumulate in oil eliminator 7 at this separated lubricating oil, only gas refrigerant is directed to cross valve 8.
The lubricating oil accumulated in oil eliminator 7 increases, and finally rises to the link position place of the second oily delivery line 52 be connected with the sidepiece of oil eliminator 7.The lubricating oil exceeding the link position of above-mentioned oily delivery line 52 flows into equal oily guide pipe 40 from oily delivery line 52, and is back to the first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c as described above via distributor 43 and the first oil return pipe the 55 ~ three oil return pipe 57.
The oil level in the closed shell of all compressor 3a ~ 3c is caused to decline together because of some situation sometimes.Now, opening signal is sent to the 3rd electromagnetic opening and closing valve 53 that the oily delivery line 51 of first bottom oil eliminator 7 is arranged, and shutdown signal is sent to the first electromagnetic opening and closing valve 42 of equal oily guide pipe 40.
Equal oily guide pipe 40 is directed to from the first oily delivery line 51 by all lubricating oil accumulated in oil eliminator 7, and be inhaled into the first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c, to be dispensed to above-mentioned compressor 3a ~ 3c equably via distributor 43, first oil return pipe the 55 ~ three oil return pipe 57, main suction refrigerant pipe 16, first suction refrigerant pipe 18a ~ three suction refrigerant pipe 18c etc.
In embodiments of the present invention, by pipe arrangement fixture 62 by oil return with distributor 43 be mounted to the horizontal component of the main suction refrigerant pipe 16 be connected with each compressor 3a ~ 3c, and make the distributor 43 of oil return be in flat-hand position.
That is, in above-mentioned distributor 43, distribute the secondary side pipe arrangement of side and the first cold-producing medium and suck refrigerant pipe 18a ~ the 3rd cold-producing medium and suck refrigerant pipe 18c and be connected, thus be arranged on very on the position of the first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c.
Therefore, the vibration produced along with the driving of the first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c is easily passed to distributor 43 via first cold-producing medium suction refrigerant pipe 18a ~ the 3rd cold-producing medium suction refrigerant pipe 18c and main suction refrigerant pipe 16.
But, as described above distributor 43 be set to flat-hand position and be mounted on main refrigerant suction line 16, it just can be made to be in same vibrational system, thus pipe arrangement fatigue damage can be prevented.
In addition, when distributor is set to vertical position, the tilt correction of the distributor in manufacturing process needs to expend time, and it is also pretty troublesome to the size management of distributor and connecting pipings, but in the present invention, be mounted on main suction refrigerant pipe 16 owing to distributor 43 to be set to flat-hand position, therefore, above-mentioned management time need not expended, thus product deviation can be reduced, cutting down manufacturing cost.
In the off-premises station 1 comprising multiple compressors, the compressor that sometimes there is operating compressor simultaneously He shut down.Under this operational situation, the ratio sometimes via the lubricating oil of oil equalizing circuit backflow cannot be impartial.
Such as, the first compressor 3a and the second compressor 3b operates, and the 3rd compressor 3c shuts down.Now, the amount being back to the lubricating oil of the first compressor 3a from distributor 43 via the first oil return pipe 55 is identical with the amount of the lubricating oil being back to the second compressor 3b via the second oil return pipe 56.
Above-mentioned distributor 43 is configured to have three streams for an inflow entrance, and lubricating oil flows equably in each stream.Certainly, the lubricating oil of identical amount is also directed to the 3rd oil return pipe 57 from distributor 45, and flows to the 3rd compressor 3c.
But as mentioned above, the 3rd compressor 3c shuts down, therefore, flow to the 3rd lubricating oil sucking refrigerant pipe 18c from the 3rd oil return pipe 57 and can not be inhaled into the 3rd compressor 3c.Above-mentioned lubricating oil just without place to go, and flows to main suction refrigerant pipe 16 from the 3rd suction refrigerant pipe 18c.
Then, be positioned at upstream side the second compressor 3b attraction effect under, in the 3rd oil return pipe 57, the overwhelming majority of lubricating oil of flowing is directed to the second suction refrigerant pipe 18b.At this, converge with the lubricating oil imported via the second oil return pipe 56, and be inhaled into the second compressor 3b.
Consequently, the first compressor 3a is 1:2 with the ratio of the lubricants capacity being back to the second compressor 3b, and in the second compressor 3b, lubricating oil accumulates too much, and in the first compressor 3a, be in the state of shortage of oil.
In the present invention, the second oil return pipe 3b is provided with oily backflow non-return valve 58, to control under the above conditions as being closed by oily backflow non-return valve 58.Thus, lubricating oil is directed to the first oil return pipe 55 and the 3rd oil return pipe 57 from distributor 43, but in the second oil return pipe 56, lubricating oil does not flow.
Lubricating oil is back to the first compressor 3a from the first oil return pipe 55, and lubricating oil is back to the second compressor 3b from the 3rd oil return pipe 57.Lubricating oil can not flow to this point of the 3rd compressor 3c not change shut down.
That is, the second oil return pipe 56 be communicated with the compressor 3b of the middle in three compressors arranging oily backflow non-return valve 58, controlling under the above conditions as closing.As shown in Figure 3, the first-class outlet Rf of distributor 43 is positioned at roughly the same height with the 3rd flow export Rh, and therefore, the lubricating oil having roughly the same amount flows to the first oil return pipe 55 and the 3rd oil return pipe 57.That is, the oil return of identical amount is in the first compressor 3a and the second compressor 3b, and thus the first compressor 3a and the second compressor 3b there will not be the situation that lubricating oil is too much or not enough to each other.
In addition, even if shortage of oil state temporarily appears in certain compressor in the first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c, by controlling the switch of oily backflow non-return valve 58, the amount of the lubricating oil that just can have the compressor in running regulates.
Such as, during the oily backflow non-return valve 58 of closedown, the second compressor 3b can be absorbed in the state of shortage of oil sometimes.By to the 4th temperature sensor 39 being located at bypass pipe 38 be located at the first oil equalizing pipe 30a ~ the 3rd oil equalizing pipe 30c the first temperature sensor 35 ~ the three-temperature sensor 37 detected temperatures between compare, just can know the situation of shortage of oil.
When lubricating oil flows in the first oil equalizing pipe 30a ~ the 3rd oil equalizing pipe 30c, their detected temperatures can be higher than the detected temperatures of bypass pipe 38.On the contrary, when cold-producing medium flows in the first oil equalizing pipe 30a ~ the 3rd oil equalizing pipe 30c, the detected temperatures of bypass pipe 38 is higher than their detected temperatures, then known first compressor 3a ~ the 3rd compressor 3c is absorbed in the situation of shortage of oil.
As mentioned above, if detect that the second compressor 3b is absorbed in the situation of shortage of oil during the oily backflow non-return valve 58 of closedown, then oily backflow non-return valve 58 is controlled as opening.As shown in Figure 3, the second outlet Rg of distributor 43 is positioned at foot side in three flow exports, and therefore, flowing into the lubricating oil exporting the oil return pipe 56 that Rg is connected with second can be more than the lubricating oil flowing into oil return pipe 55,57.Therefore, the amount returning the lubricating oil of the second compressor 3b from the second oil return pipe 56 increases, and the amount of the lubricating oil contained in the first compressor 3a and the second compressor 3b is balanced.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to embodiment as above itself, implementation phase in can not depart from the present invention design scope in carry out distortion to specialize to inscape.In addition, also by carrying out the multiple inscape disclosed in above-mentioned embodiment appropriately combinedly forming various invention.
