Description

Air conditioner
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly, to an air conditioner in which a compressor is driven by an engine.
Background
An air conditioner is an apparatus that cools or heats a room by using a heat pump cycle including a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and an indoor heat exchanger.
In the Heat Pump cycle, the compressor needs to be driven to circulate the refrigerant, and air conditioners may be classified into an EHP (Electric Heat Pump) system and a GHP (Gas engine driven Heat Pump) system according to the driving method of the compressor.
The GHP system is a system in which a compressor is driven by an engine using gas as fuel. Since the fuel consumption is low and the cooling capacity and the heating capacity can be increased, the present invention is suitable for use in industries, large buildings, and the like.
Korean laid-open patent No. KR10-2019 and 0051347 disclose a GHP type air conditioner. However, the air conditioner disclosed in the above document has a structure in which the engine and the compressor are disposed in one device together with a plurality of configurations such as an outdoor heat exchanger and a radiator. Since the engine generates power by explosive force caused by combustion of the gaseous fuel, vibration and noise are large, and the engine generates heat by itself, thereby affecting the performance and durability of other components including the outdoor heat exchanger. In particular, since the heat exchanger has a structure in which the plurality of refrigerant pipes are connected to each other, when vibration caused by an engine is directly transmitted to the heat exchanger, there may occur a problem in that a portion where the plurality of refrigerant pipes are connected to each other is damaged or a gap is generated.
Further, since the engine and the structure for supplying fuel to the engine or discharging the burned gas occupy a large volume, there is a problem that a space occupied by a structure related to the compressor or a structure for flowing cooling water is relatively narrow.
Further, although the outdoor unit of the GHP is usually installed on a roof of a building or the like, the outdoor unit having an engine disposed therein is difficult to move due to its heavy weight, and the installation is limited due to an excessive load applied to a limited area.
Further, a controller for controlling the engine and the components related to the engine is disposed inside the outdoor unit of the GHP. Components other than the engine and its associated components may be driven by additional controllers. A controller for controlling components other than the engine and components related thereto has a problem that the cost increases as the number increases.
In addition, in the outdoor unit of GHP, the structure disposed inside the outdoor heat exchanger is difficult to access by the outdoor heat exchanger, and thus there is a problem that maintenance work becomes difficult.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention provides an air conditioner configured to minimize transmission of vibration caused by an engine to a heat pump other than a compressor.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner having a structure in which an outdoor unit of the air conditioner is efficiently arranged.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner in which the configuration included in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is efficiently arranged. In particular, an air conditioner is provided which is configured to improve accessibility in maintenance of a structure disposed inside a heat exchanger when a unit for disposing the heat exchanger is provided.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner that can minimize the number of controllers that are disposed in an outdoor unit and that control the driving of components, thereby reducing the cost.

Secondly, there is an advantage in that heat exchange can be performed quickly in the radiator or the plate heat exchanger by arranging the radiator, the plate heat exchanger, and the cooling water pump adjacent to each other in the second outdoor unit to secure a flow rate of the cooling water.
Thirdly, by adjusting the arrangement of the internal structure disposed inside the outdoor heat exchanger, maintenance of the internal structure disposed inside the outdoor heat exchanger can be facilitated.
Fourth, the present invention is configured such that a first controller for controlling the engine and the structure related to the engine is disposed in the first outdoor unit, and a second controller for controlling the operation of the blower fan and the cooling water pump is disposed in the second outdoor unit. When the first outdoor unit is configured to add a cooling water pump or the like, it is necessary to provide a controller for controlling the operation independently of the engine, but the number of controllers can be minimized by the above arrangement, and the cost can be reduced.
Fifth, the control box can be easily maintained without separating the maintenance panel by including the maintenance panel for disposing the control box and by providing a separate opening portion in the maintenance panel. Further, the control box can be kept at a low temperature by being disposed at a position away from the heat source inside the outdoor unit or in an area where the flow of air is active.
The effects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned effects, and other effects not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims.

One side of the engine frame 144 may be combined with the engine 140, and the other side thereof may be connected with the damper 146. Therefore, the vibration generated by the engine 140 can be transmitted to the entire first housing 110 to the minimum.
The engine frame 144 may fix the arrangement of the compressor 150 connected to the engine 140 via the belt 152. That is, the engine frame 144 may be disposed so that the engine 140 and the compressor 150 are spaced apart from the first chassis 112 by a predetermined interval.
The compressor 150 may be connected to the engine 140 and compress a refrigerant when the engine 140 is operated. Two compressors 150 connected to the engine 140 may be disposed in the first outdoor unit 100. The compressor 150 includes a compressor side pulley 154, the compressor side pulley 154 is connected to the engine side pulley 142 via a transmission belt 152, and the compressor side pulley 154 (see fig. 1) is rotated by the operation of the engine 140, thereby being capable of compressing the refrigerant.
Referring to fig. 6 to 7, the first outdoor unit 100 may include: an air cleaner 160 that provides clean air by filtering air to be supplied to the engine 140; a zero governor (zero governor)162 that supplies gas to the engine 140 at a prescribed pressure; a mixer (mixer)164 that mixes air supplied via the air cleaner 160 and gas supplied via the zero governor 162; an exhaust gas heat exchanger 166 that exchanges heat between the cooling water and the gas exhausted from the engine 140; a muffler 168 for reducing noise of gas discharged from the engine 140; and a drain filter 170 for purifying and discharging condensed water generated in the exhaust gas passing through the muffler 168.
The zero governor 162 always supplies fuel at a predetermined pressure regardless of a change in the pressure or flow rate of the fuel flowing into the zero governor 162. The zero governor 162 can obtain a stable outlet pressure in a wide range and adjust the pressure of the gaseous fuel supplied to the engine to an almost constant atmospheric pressure profile.
Air cleaner 160 may use a filter to block moisture and oil in the form of dust and mist from being mixed into the outside air supplied to the engine.
The mixer 164 discharges the supplied fuel and air at a prescribed mixing ratio and supplies them to the engine.
The zero governor 162 may be fixedly disposed at one side of the first frame 114. An air purifier 160 is disposed adjacent to the zero governor 162. The air purifier 160 may be secured to the first upper panel 126 by additional securing members 184.

The oil separator 244 and the cooling water pump 238 may be disposed in an area opposite to the second maintenance panel 223 with respect to the virtual vertical line VC, but may be disposed closer to the virtual vertical line VC than the first side heat exchanger 240 b.
The outdoor heat exchanger 240 may be disposed inside the second peripheral panel 220 at a portion other than the second maintenance panel 223. One end of the outdoor heat exchanger 240 may be formed inside the 2 nd-2 nd half panel 220a2 of the second front panel 220a, and the other end may be formed inside the second side panels 220c and 220d disposed adjacent to the 2 nd-1 st half panel 220a 1.
An air-sending fan 230 is disposed above the outdoor heat exchanger 240, and the air-sending fan 230 causes air to flow toward an outlet 226a formed in the second upper panel 226. An orifice 228 is disposed above the outdoor heat exchanger 240, a flow of air flowing to the discharge port 226a is formed in the orifice 228, and a space for disposing the blower fan 230 is formed in the orifice 228.
The cooling water pump 238 may supply cooling water to the engine 140 and the exhaust gas heat exchanger 166, thereby enabling cooling of the engine 140 and the exhaust gas heat exchanger 166. The cooling water pump 238 may be fixedly disposed on the second base 212.
Referring to fig. 18, the cooling water pump 238 may be disposed in the first outdoor unit 100. Even if the cooling water pump 238 is disposed in the first outdoor unit 100, the extra cooling water pipe or refrigerant pipe is not exposed to the outside of the first outdoor unit 100 and the second outdoor unit 200, and thus the cooling water pump 238 can be disposed in the first outdoor unit 100. However, as shown in fig. 1, the cooling water pump 238 is preferably disposed inside the second outdoor unit 200, and the second controller controls the operations of the blower fan 230 and the cooling water pump 238.
The switching valve 242 is disposed inside the second casing 210, and supplies the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 150 to the outdoor heat exchanger 240 or the indoor unit. The switching valve 242 may supply the refrigerant received from the indoor unit or a plate heat exchanger 248 described later to the compressor 150. The switching valve 242 is connected to an oil separator 244 and a reservoir 246. Therefore, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 150 and passing through the oil separator 244 can flow into the switching valve 242. The refrigerant flowing through the switching valve 242 may pass through the accumulator 246 and flow to the compressor 150. The switching valve 242 may use a four-way valve that selectively connects refrigerant pipes connected thereto in four directions.
Referring to fig. 1 and 14, the second outdoor unit 200 includes: an oil separator 244 for separating oil from the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 150; an accumulator 246 that separates refrigerant for supply to the compressor 150 and supplies gaseous refrigerant to the compressor 150; a plate-shaped heat exchanger 248 for heat-exchanging cooling water and refrigerant with each other; a radiator 250 for heat-exchanging cooling water with outdoor air; cooling water valves 252a, 252b for adjusting the flow direction of the cooling water; and a cooling water tank 254 for storing cooling water. The second outdoor unit 200 may further include: a supercooling heat exchanger 260 that cools the flowing liquid refrigerant by expanding and heat-exchanging a part of the flowing liquid refrigerant; and an expansion valve 262 that expands the refrigerant discharged from the outdoor heat exchanger 240.
The oil separator 244 is disposed between the switching valve 242 and the compressor 150. The oil separator 244 separates oil from the refrigerant from the compressor 150. The oil separator 244 may be fixedly disposed on the second base panel 214.
The accumulator 246 is disposed between the switching valve 242 and the compressor 150. The accumulator 246 separates refrigerant flowing to the compressor 150 into gaseous refrigerant and liquid refrigerant, and supplies the gaseous refrigerant to the compressor 150. The reservoir 246 may be fixedly disposed on the second base panel 214. The reservoir 246 may be cylindrical in shape.
Referring to fig. 1, a refrigerant flowing from an indoor heat exchanger (not shown) through a four-way valve 242 or a refrigerant flowing through a plate-shaped heat exchanger 248 may be supplied to an accumulator 246. In addition, the accumulator 246 is connected to the supercooling heat exchanger 260, so that the refrigerant generated in the supercooling heat exchanger 260 may also be supplied to the accumulator 246.
The plate-shaped heat exchanger 248 exchanges heat between the cooling water flowing through the cooling water pump 238 and the refrigerant flowing through the compressor 150. In a heating mode in which an indoor heat exchanger (not shown) disposed in the indoor unit is used as a condenser, the refrigerant flowing through the indoor heat exchanger (not shown) can flow to the plate-shaped heat exchanger 248. In addition, in the heating mode, the cooling water flowing through the cooling water pump 238 may flow to the plate heat exchanger 248 and be cooled.
The plate heat exchanger 248 exchanges heat between the refrigerant flowing from the indoor heat exchanger (not shown) and the cooling water discharged from the engine 140. The plate-shaped heat exchanger 248 is connected to the first valve 252a and the cooling water pump 238, and supplies the cooling water flowing in through the first valve 252a to the cooling water pump 238 after exchanging heat. The plate-shaped heat exchanger 248 may heat-exchange the refrigerant flowing from the indoor heat exchanger and supply it to the accumulator 246.
The plate heat exchanger 248 may be fixedly disposed on the second base plate 214. Referring to fig. 17, a plate heat exchanger 248 may be disposed between the accumulator 246 and the oil separator 244 when viewed in plan.
The radiator 250 may reduce the temperature of the cooling water by heat-exchanging the air flowing toward the second suction port 221b and the cooling water. The radiator 250 is disposed inside the outdoor heat exchanger 240. The area occupied by the radiator 250 in the direction of the second suction port 221b may be formed to be smaller than the area occupied by the outdoor heat exchanger 240 in the direction of the second suction port 221 b. Referring to fig. 13, a length 250L of the heat sink 250 formed in the up-down direction may be formed to be smaller than a length 240L of the outdoor heat exchanger 240 formed in the up-down direction.
The radiator 250 includes a front radiator 250a disposed inside the front heat exchanger 240a, a first side radiator 250b disposed inside the first side heat exchanger 240b, a rear radiator 250c disposed inside the rear heat exchanger 240c, and a second side radiator 250d disposed inside the second side heat exchanger 204 d.
Referring to fig. 13, the cooling water valve 252a, 252b includes: a first valve 252a that supplies the cooling water discharged from the engine 140 to the plate heat exchanger 248 or the radiator 250; and a second valve 252b that supplies the cooling water discharged from the engine 140 to the first valve 252a or the cooling water pump 238. The first and second valves 252a and 252b may use a three-way valve that selectively supplies the flowing cooling water in one of two directions.
Referring to fig. 12, the second outdoor unit 200 includes a second control box 256, and a second controller (not shown) for controlling operations of the blower fan 230 and the cooling water pump 238 is built in the second control box 256.
The second console box 256 is disposed inside the second maintenance panel 223. A second controller for controlling the operations of the blower fan 230 and the cooling water pump 238 is disposed inside the second control box 256. That is, the operations of the blower fan 230 and the cooling water pump 238 can be controlled by one electric and electronic component. In the case where the cooling water pump 238 is disposed inside the first outdoor unit 100, additional electric and electronic components for controlling the operation of the cooling water pump 238 may be required. In the present invention, the second controller disposed inside the second control box 256 can control the operations of the blower fan 230 and the cooling water pump 238 together, so that the cost due to additional components is not increased. The second controller can adjust the opening and closing of the switching valve 242 or the cooling water valves 252a and 252 b.
That is, the second controller may supply the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 150 to the outdoor heat exchanger 240 by adjusting the switching valve 242 when the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, and may supply the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 150 to the indoor heat exchanger by adjusting the switching valve 242 when the air conditioner is in the heating mode.
Further, the second controller may supply the cooling water discharged from the engine 140 to the radiator 250 by adjusting the cooling water valves 252a and 252b when the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, and may supply the cooling water discharged from the engine 140 to the plate-shaped heat exchanger 248 by adjusting the cooling water valves 252a and 252b when the air conditioner is in the heating mode.
The structure disposed inside the second outdoor unit 200 is disposed adjacent to an area that is not blocked by the outdoor heat exchanger 240.
Referring to fig. 14, the front heat exchanger 240a is configured to face the rear heat exchanger 240 c. However, the length 240aL of the front heat exchanger 240a extending in the left-right direction may be less than half of the length 240cL of the rear heat exchanger 240c extending in the left-right direction.
The first side heat exchanger 240b is disposed to face the second side heat exchanger 240 d. However, the length 240dL of the second side heat exchanger 240d extending in the front-rear direction may be less than half the length 240bL of the first side heat exchanger 240b extending in the front-rear direction.
The length 240cL of the rear heat exchanger 240c extending in the left-right direction may be within 1.5 times to 2 times the length 240bL of the first side heat exchanger 240b extending in the front-rear direction.
In the front and right sides of the second outdoor unit 200, regions that are not blocked by the outdoor heat exchanger 240 are formed.
Referring to fig. 14, the second outdoor unit 200 may be divided into four regions by an imaginary vertical line VC extending from the center of the left-right direction (Ri-Le) toward the front-rear direction (F-R) to divide the second outdoor unit 200 in the left-right direction, and an imaginary horizontal line HC extending from the center of the front-rear direction (F-R) toward the left-right direction (Ri-Le) to divide the second outdoor unit 200 in the front-rear direction.
Referring to fig. 14, the second outdoor unit 200 is divided into a first section i disposed on the front right side, a second section ii disposed on the rear right side, a third section iii disposed on the front left side, and a fourth section iv disposed on the rear left side, with reference to a vertical line VC and a horizontal line HC.
Referring to fig. 14, the outdoor heat exchanger 240 is not disposed in the first region i. A second maintenance panel 223 is disposed in front of the first region i. Therefore, when the second maintenance panel 223 is separated, the structure disposed inside the second housing 210 can be repaired or inspected.
Therefore, the configuration disposed inside the second outdoor unit 200 can be disposed in the first zone i or the second zone ii. Referring to fig. 14, the accumulator 246 and the plate-shaped heat exchanger 248 are disposed in the second region ii. Referring to fig. 14, the cooling water tank 254 is disposed in the first region i.
These may be disposed in the third region iii or the fourth region iv to effectively utilize the inner region of the second case 210. However, the configuration disposed in the third region iii or the fourth region iv is disposed at a position closer to the vertical line VC than the first side heat exchanger 240b, so that a user or the like can easily repair or inspect the corresponding configuration.
That is, referring to fig. 14, the distance D1 separating the cooling water pump 238 disposed in the third zone iii from the vertical line VC is smaller than the distance D2 separating the cooling water pump 238 from the first side heat exchanger 240 b. Further, a distance D3 between the cooling water pump 238 disposed in the third compartment iii and a virtual reference line V1 extending in the front-rear direction from the end of the front heat exchanger 240a disposed in front is formed smaller than a distance D2 between the cooling water pump 238 and the first side heat exchanger 240 b.
Referring to fig. 14, the cooling water pump 238 is disposed between the radiator 250 and the plate heat exchanger 248. Here, between the radiator 250 and the plate-shaped heat exchanger 248 may mean between the inflow and discharge ends of the radiator 250 and the plate-shaped heat exchanger 248. Referring to fig. 14, inflow and discharge ends of the radiator 250 may be formed at ends of the front radiator 250 a.
Since the cooling water pump 238 is disposed adjacent to the radiator 250 and the plate-shaped heat exchanger 248, it is advantageous to ensure the flow rate of the cooling water flowing through the radiator 250 and the plate-shaped heat exchanger 248, and to increase the heat exchange speed.
The switching valve 242 and the oil separator 244 disposed in the fourth region iv are disposed at positions closer to the vertical line VC than the first side heat exchanger 240 b.
< refrigerant pipe and Cooling Water pipe >
Referring to fig. 1, the refrigerant pipe 300 may supply the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 150 to the outdoor heat exchanger 240 or the indoor heat exchanger (not shown), and may circulate the heat-exchanged refrigerant to the compressor 150 again. The refrigerant pipe 300 may include: a first inner refrigerant pipe 330 disposed inside the first outdoor unit 100; a second inner refrigerant pipe 340 disposed inside the second outdoor unit 200; and a third inner refrigerant pipe (not shown) disposed inside the indoor unit (not shown). In addition, the refrigerant pipe 300 may include: a first outer refrigerant pipe 310 exposed to the outside of the first outdoor unit 100 and the second outdoor unit 200, and connecting the first outdoor unit 100 and the second outdoor unit 200; and a second external refrigerant pipe 320 disposed outside the second outdoor unit 200 and the indoor unit and connecting the second outdoor unit 200 and the indoor unit.
The cooling water pipe 400 may flow the cooling water discharged from the cooling water pump 238 through the exhaust gas heat exchanger 166, the engine 140, and the radiator 250, or through the plate heat exchanger 248, and then recirculate the cooling water to the cooling water pump 238.
Referring to fig. 1, the cooling water pipe 400 includes: a first internal cooling water pipe 420 disposed inside the first outdoor unit 100; a second internal cooling water pipe 430 disposed inside the second outdoor unit 200; and an external cooling water pipe 410 which is disposed outside the first outdoor unit 100 and the second outdoor unit 200 and connects the first outdoor unit 100 and the second outdoor unit 200.
Referring to fig. 2 to 3, the first outer refrigerant pipe 310 and the outer cooling water pipe 410 are used to connect the first outdoor unit 100 and the second outdoor unit 200. Referring to fig. 17, the first outer refrigerant pipe 310 and the outer cooling water pipe 410 include at least one bent portion 312 and 412 to prevent vibration generated in the first outdoor unit 100 from being transmitted to the second outdoor unit 200. Referring to fig. 17, the first outer refrigerant pipe 310 and the outer cooling water pipe 410 include four bent portions 312 and 412, respectively.
The length of the cooling water pipe 400 may be set in consideration of the performance of the cooling water pump 238. The performance of the cooling water pump 238 needs to be able to form a flow of cooling water in the entire cooling water pipe 400 including the radiator 250. Therefore, the length of the cooling water pipe 400 can be defined by the performance range of the cooling water pump 238, and therefore, it is preferable to form the length of the outer cooling water pipe 410 to be minimum. In contrast, since the compressor 150 is driven by the engine 140 and is connected to the plurality of indoor unit units, the length of the refrigerant pipe 300 may not be limited compared to the length of the cooling water pipe 400.
Therefore, referring to fig. 17, the length of the first outer refrigerant pipe 310 exposed to the outside (L1+2 × H1+2 × W1, "length of the first outer refrigerant pipe") is formed to be greater than the length of the outer cooling water pipe 410 exposed to the outside (L2+2 × H2+2 × W2, "length of the outer cooling water pipe").
The first outer refrigerant pipe 310 connects the first outdoor unit 100 and the second outdoor unit 200, which are disposed adjacent to each other, and the second outer refrigerant pipe 320 connects the second outdoor unit 200 and the indoor unit (not shown), which are disposed in different spaces from each other, to each other. Therefore, the length of the first outer refrigerant pipe 310 (L1+2 × H1+2 × W1) may be formed to be smaller than the length of the second outer refrigerant pipe 320 exposed to the outside (not shown, "length of second outer refrigerant pipe").
Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention claimed in the claims.
