Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an air conditioner, and particularly to an air conditioner provided with a receiver for collecting surplus refrigerant.
  • a refrigerant circuit of an air conditioner is formed of a refrigerant pipe structure connecting an accumulator, a compressor, a four-way valve and an outdoor heat exchanger, which are arranged in an outdoor unit, as well as an indoor heat exchanger arranged in an indoor unit, and provides a circulation path of refrigerant.
  • the dour-way valve controls a refrigerant circulating direction such that the outdoor heat exchanger functions as a condenser, and the indoor heat exchanger functions as an evaporator.
  • the four-way valve controls the refrigerant circulating direction such that the outdoor heat exchanger functions as an evaporator, and the indoor heat exchanger functions as a condenser.
  • the refrigerant circuit on the outdoor unit side is filled with an appropriate amount of refrigerant containing an additional amount of refrigerant, which is required for a connection pipe of a maximum length.
  • the appropriate amount of refrigerant, which is required during an operation significantly changes depending on an operation mode, a capacity of the indoor unit and a length of the connection pipe used for actual installation. Therefore, surplus refrigerant may be present in the refrigerant circuit, and this may cause abnormal rising of a pressure when it remains in the condenser, and may lower the operation efficiency.
  • a receiver In a conventional receiver circuit, a receiver is arranged in a pipe portion on a liquid pipe side between the outdoor heat exchanger and the liquid shut-off valve, and is located in series thereto. Therefore, the amount of refrigerant in the receiver increases or decreases merely in accordance with a degree of opening of a motor-operated valve located downstream from the receiver.
  • This motor-operated value corresponds to each room motor-operated value in a cooling operation, and corresponds to a main pressure reducing value, and the degree of opening thereof is controlled based on a degree of super-heating.
  • the outdoor heat exchanger when a cooling operation is performed when the outside-air temperature is extremely low, the outdoor heat exchanger has an excessively large capacity so that the pressure on the high-pressure side lowers. Therefore, a difference between the high and low pressures of the compressor decreases, which lowers reliability of the compressor. If the surplus refrigerant, which is collected in the receiver, can be transferred to the outdoor heat exchanger, a portion of the outdoor heat exchanger can be filled with the surplus refrigerant. Thereby, the capacity of the outdoor heat exchanger lowers, and the pressure on the high-pressure side rises so that a sufficient pressure difference can be ensured.
  • An object of the invention is to control surplus refrigerant in accordance with operation situations such as a cooling operation at a lower outside-air temperature and an operation with an excessive load.
  • An air conditioner includes a refrigerant circuit formed of an outdoor unit refrigerant circuit including at least a compressor, a four-way valve and an outdoor heat exchanger arranged in an outdoor unit, and an indoor heat exchanger arranged in an indoor unit and connected to the outdoor unit refrigerant circuit by a liquid-side pipe and a gas-side pipe.
  • a bypass circuit forming a bypass between the liquid-side and gas-side pipes is provided with a receiver for collecting liquid refrigerant, and refrigerant on-off means arranged in a liquid pipe connection pipe connecting the receiver to the liquid-side pipe and in a gas pipe connection pipe connecting the receiver to the gas-side pipe.
  • the refrigerant on-off means is controlled based on determination of presence/absence of surplus refrigerant performed by determining a current heat exchanging performance of the outdoor heat exchanger, and thereby an amount of the refrigerant in the receiver is controlled.
  • the refrigerant on-off means may be formed of a liquid pipe motor-operated value arranged in the liquid-side pipe and being capable of controlling a flow rate of the refrigerant, and a gas pipe motor-operated valve arranged in the gas pipe connection pipe and being capable of controlling a flow rate of the refrigerant.
  • the presence/absence of the surplus refrigerant is determined by making a comparison between an outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger and a target value of the outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger.
  • a detected value of an outdoor liquid pipe thermistor arranged at the vicinity of the outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger may be used as the outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger.
  • the air conditioner may be cdnfigured such that, in a cooling operation, the target value of the outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is determined from an amount of circulated refrigerant and an outside-air temperature, or is determined from an operation frequency of the compressor and the outside-air temperature.
  • the target value of the outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger may be corrected based on a deviation in super-heat control or target discharge pipe temperature control.
  • the target value of the outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger may be equal to or lower than a higher one between a high-pressure saturation temperature and a heat exchange intermediate temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger, and may be equal to or higher than a sum of a current outside-air temperature and a predetermined temperature.
  • the air conditioner may be configured such that the liquid pipe motor-operated valve operates in the cooling operation to open when the outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is lower than the target temperature, and to close when the outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is higher than the target temperature.
  • the presence/absence of the surplus refrigerant may be determined in the cooling operation by comparing a high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature with a target value of the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature.
  • the air conditioner thus configured may further include a high-pressure sensor arranged on a discharge side of the compressor for high-pressure protection, and the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature may be calculated from a high-pressure value detected by the high-pressure sensor.
  • a pressure on an intake side of the compressor, power consumption of the compressor and an operation frequency of the compressor may be used for calculating the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature.
  • the target temperature of the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature may be determined from an amount of circulated refrigerant and an outside-air temperature, or may be determined from an operation frequency of the compressor and the outside-air temperature.
  • the target value of the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature may be corrected based on a deviation in super-heat control or target discharge pipe temperature control.
  • the target value of the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature may be equal to or lower than a sum of a high-pressure saturation temperature and a predetermined value, and may be equal to or higher than a sum of a current outside-air temperature and a predetermined temperature.
  • the air conditioner may be configured such that the liquid pipe motor-operated valve operates in the cooling operation to close when the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature is lower than the target temperature, and to open when the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature is higher than the target temperature.
  • the presence/absence of the surplus refrigerant may be determined in the heating operation by comparing a representative value of the liquid pipe temperature with a target value of the liquid-pipe temperature.
  • the representative value of the liquid pipe temperature may be a lowest value of the liquid pipe temperature of the indoor unit during an operation.
  • the target temperature of the liquid pipe temperature may be determined from an amount of circulated refrigerant and a room temperature, or may be determined from an operation frequency of the compressor and the room temperature.
  • the target value of the liquid pipe temperature may be corrected based on a deviation in super-heat control or target discharge pipe temperature control.
  • the target value of the liquid pipe temperature may be equal to or lower than a higher one between a high-pressure saturation temperature and a maximum value of a heat exchange intermediate temperature of the indoor heat exchanger, and may be equal to or higher than a sum of a maximum value of a room temperature and a predetermined value.
  • the air conditioner may be configured such that the gas pipe motor-operated valve operates in the heating operation to open when a representative value of the liquid pipe temperature is lower than the target temperature, and to close when a representative value of the liquid pipe temperature is higher than the target temperature.
  • the presence/absence of the surplus refrigerant may be determined in the heating operation by comparing a high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature with a target value of the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature.
  • the target temperature of the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature may be determined from an amount of circulated refrigerant and a room temperature, or may be determined from an operation frequency of the compressor and the room temperature.
  • the target value of the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature may be corrected based on a deviation in super-heat control or target discharge pipe temperature control.
  • the target value of the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature may be equal to or lower than a sum of a high-pressure saturation temperature and a predetermined value, and may be equal to or higher than a sum of a room temperature and a predetermined value.
  • the air conditioner may be configured such that the gas pipe motor-operated valve operates in the heating operation to open when the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature is lower than the target temperature, and to close when the high-pressure corresponding saturation temperature is higher than the target temperature.
