Definitions

  • the invention relates to control of the amount of refrigerant flowing in a refrigeration cycle using a mixed refrigerant.
  • Fig. 2 shows a refrigeration cycle as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 120119/1995, which is a conventional refrigeration cycle utilized for a heat pump and consists of a compressor, a four-way valve, a heat exchanger, an expansion valve, and an accumulator.
  • reference numeral 101 designates a compressor
  • 102 designates a four-way valve for changing the flow of a refrigerant between a cooling operation and a heating operation
  • 103 designates an indoor heat exchanger
  • 104 through 107 designate check valves
  • 108 designates a receiver
  • 109 designates an expansion valve
  • 110 designates an outdoor heat exchanger
  • 111 designates an indoor blast fan
  • 112 designates an outdoor blast fan.
  • the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 101 flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 110 by way of the four-way valve 102, sequentially flows through the check valve 104, the receiver 108, the expansion valve 109, the check valve 107, and the indoor heat exchanger 103, and returns to the compressor 101 by way of the four-way valve 102.
  • the compressed refrigerant flows into the indoor heat exchanger 103 from the compressor 101 by way of the four-way valve 102, sequentially flows through the check valve 105, the receiver 108, the expansion valve 109, the check valve 106, and the outdoor heat exchanger 110, and returns to the compressor 101 by way of the four-way valve 102.
  • the amount of refrigerant required by the refrigerant circuit during the cooling operation is compared with that required by the same during the heating operation.
  • the indoor heat exchanger 103 is generally superior to the outdoor heat exchanger 110 in terms of an efficiency for condensing a refrigerant.
  • the content volume of a portion of the heat exchanger through which the refrigerant flows can be reduced.
  • a heating operation requires a smaller amount of refrigerant than does a cooling operation.
  • the receiver 108 provided upstream of the expansion valve 109 in a direction in which the refrigerant flows is for storing a refrigerant liquid, thereby adjusting a difference in the amount of refrigerant required for cooling operation and that required for heating operation.
  • Fig. 3 shows the refrigeration cycle of the refrigerant circuit shown in Fig. 2 in the form of a p-h diagram.
  • an interval between "a" and "b” corresponds to a compression stroke of the compressor 101
  • an interval between "b” and “c” corresponds to a condensation stroke of the heat exchanger 103 or 110
  • an interval between "c” and “d” corresponds to an expansion stroke of the expansion valve 109

  • the refrigerant liquid and refrigerant gas are mixedly present in the receiver 108 of the refrigerant circuit.
  • the refrigerant provided in the receiver has become saturated.
  • the saturated liquid refrigerant flows into the evaporator by way of a liquid pipe, a strainer, a liquid line electromagnetic valve, these being not shown, and the expansion valve 109. Since the liquid refrigerant is not excessively cooled, the refrigerant is likely to enter a flash gas state in which a refrigerant liquid and the refrigerant gas are mixedly present if the liquid pipe or the like has resistance.
  • the amount of refrigerant flowing through the expansion valve 109 drops considerably, as a result of which predetermined refrigerating power is not achieved.

  • the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 201 flows through the four-way valve 202, the air-side heat exchanger 203, the expansion valve 204, and the water-side heat exchanger 205, and then returns to the compressor 201 while passing through the four-way valve 202 and the accumulator 206.
  • the compressed refrigerant flows through the four-way valve 202, and sequentially flows through the water-side heat exchanger 205, the expansion valve 204, the air-side heat exchanger 2 03 and returns to the compressor 201 by way of the four-way valve 202 and the accumulator 206.
  • the amount of refrigerant required by the refrigerant circuit during the cooling operation is compared with that required by the same during the heating operation.
  • the water-side heat exchanger 205 is generally superior to the air-side heat exchanger 203 in terms of an efficiency for condensing a refrigerant. Hence, the inner volume of the heat exchanger in the refrigerant side can be reduced.
  • a heating operation requires a smaller amount of refrigerant than does a cooling operation.
  • the excessive refrigerant flows into and is stored in the refrigerant amount control tank 208 by way of the bypass pipe 207. At this time, the refrigerant amount control tank 208 is filled with a refrigerant liquid.
  • the amount of refrigerant required by the refrigerant circuit becomes deficient.
  • the refrigerant stored in the refrigerant amount control tank 208 flows into a refrigerant circuit, thereby compensating for the deficiency.
  • the refrigerant amount control tank 208 is filled with only a refrigerant gas.
  • the amount of refrigerant required during a heating operation becomes smaller than that required during a cooling operation in the coolant circuit. Hence, excessive refrigerant flows into the refrigerant amount control tank 208. Conversely, the amount of refrigerant becomes deficient during the cooling operation, and the refrigerant flowing from the refrigerant amount control tank 208 compensates for the deficiency.
  • the volume of the refrigerant amount control tank 208 is determined by the amount of excessive refrigerant arising during a heating operation.

  • the refrigerant existing in the refrigerant circuit exclusive of the refrigerant amount control tank 208 assumes a composition largely consisting of the remaining components; that is, HFC 32 and HFC 125. In accordance with characteristics of the refrigerant, the refrigerating power tends to increase.
  • an unillustrated high-pressure switch which is a protective device to be attached to a refrigerant pipe interposed between an outlet port of the compressor 201 and the four-way valve 202 for avoiding occurrence of an increase in high pressure, becomes apt to issue a warning or to halt operation.

In association with a decrease in the quantity of refrigerant gas, the refrigerating power changes.
  • EP-A-0 631 095 discloses another refrigerant circuit to control the amount of refrigerant in the circuit.
  • the invention has been conceived to solve the foregoing problem and aims at maintaining the composition of a mixed refrigerant flowing through a refrigerant circuit at a standard composition.
