- Fig. 1 is a refrigerant circuit diagram showing a first embodiment according to the present invention.
- a refrigerating machine 30 is equipped with a compressor 1, a radiator 2, a first expansion valve (pressure-reducing device) 3 and a gas-liquid separator 4 which are connected to one another in this order.
- a part of the refrigerant circuit which extends from the compressor 1 through the radiator 2 to the inlet port of the first expansion valve 3 constitutes a high-pressure side circuit.
- the compressor 1 is a two-stage compressor, and it includes a first-stage compressing portion 1A, a second-stage compressing portion 1B and an intermediate cooler 1C between the first-stage and second-stage compressing portions 1A and 1B.
- Reference numeral 8 represents a check valve.
- the refrigerating machine 30 is further equipped with a unit (gas refrigerant introduction inhibiting/allowing unit) 5 which selectively introducing gas refrigerant separated in the gas-liquid separator 4 into an intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1.
- the intermediate pressure portion is located between the intermediate cooler 1C and the second-state compressing portion 1B.
- the compressor 1 of the present invention is not limited to the two-stage compressor.
- the gas refrigerant introduction inhibiting/allowing unit 5 may be designed so as to return gas refrigerant to an intermediate pressure portion of the one-stage compressor.
- the gas refrigerant introduction inhibiting/allowing unit 5 is constructed by a gas pipe 6 and an opening/closing valve 91 provided in the gas pipe 6. Accordingly, the introduction of the gas refrigerant into the intermediate pressure portion is started (allowed) or stopped (inhibited) by opening/closing the opening/closing valve 91.
- the refrigerating machine 30 is provided with a low-pressure side circuit 9 for circulating liquid refrigerant separated in the gas-liquid separator 4, and the low-pressure side circuit 9 is provided with a heat absorbing unit 10 which selectively functions in different temperature zones.
- the heat absorbing unit 10 is constructed by a second expansion valve 11 and one heat absorber 14. By controlling the valve opening degree of the second expansion valve 11, the evaporating pressure in the heat absorber 14 is controlled. If the evaporating pressure is increased, the evaporating temperature is increased, and thus a refrigerating operation is carried out. On the other hand, if the evaporating pressure is reduced, the evaporating temperature in the heat absorber 14 is lowered, and thus a freezing operation is carried out.
- the refrigerant passed through the heat absorber 14 is passed through the check valve 8 and returned to the suction portion of the compressor 1.
- the heat absorber 14 is provided with a unit 23 for selectively guiding cold air passed through the heat absorber 14 to plural chambers (refrigerating chamber 21, freezing chamber 22) which are controlled to different temperature zones.
- the unit 23 contains an air flowing duct 24 and a switching dumper 25, and a controller 26 for switching the operation to one of the refrigerating and freezing operations is connected to the switching dumper 25.
- the controller 26 is also connected to the expansion valves 3 and 11 and the opening/closing valve 91.
- the switching dumper 25 is inclined to a position indicated in Fig. 1 to guide cold air to the freezing chamber 22 (freezing operation).
- the opening/closing valve 91 is opened, and the gas refrigerant separated in the gas-liquid separator 4 is introduced into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1 as indicated by a broken line.
- the switching dumper 25 is tilted to the opposite position to the position shown in Fig.
- the opening/closing valve 91 is closed, and the introduction of the gas refrigerant into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1 is inhibited.
- the opening/closing valve 91 constitutes the gas refrigerant introduction inhibiting/allowing unit.
- the refrigerant circuit is filled with such refrigerant that the high-pressure side of the refrigerant circuit is set to supercritical pressure under operation in accordance with a condition, for example, when the outside temperature is increased to 30°C or more in summer season, when the load is increased or the like.
- Carbon dioxide refrigerant is filled as the above refrigerant.
- ethylene, diborane, ethane, nitrogen oxide or the like may be used as the refrigerant in which the high-pressure side circuit is operated under supercritical pressure.
- the gas refrigerant is introduced into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1.
- introduction of the gas refrigerant into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1 is allowed under freezing operation in which the temperature zone is low.
- introduction of the gas refrigerant into the intermediate pressure portion is inhibited under refrigerating operation in which the temperature zone is high.
- Fig. 2 is an enthalpy-pressure (ph) diagram showing a two-stage compressor two-stage expansion cycle when gas refrigerant is introduced into the first intermediate pressure portion X of the compressor 1 under both the refrigerating operation and the freezing operation.
- a cycle indicated by a solid line is formed during freezing operation (freezing around -26°C) .
- (1) represents the suction port of the first-stage compressor 1A
- (2) represents the discharge port of the first-compressing portion 1A
- (3) represents the suction port of the second-stage pressing portion 1B
- (4) represents the discharge port of the second-stage compressing portion 1A.
- the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 is circulated through the radiator 2 and cooled.
- (5) represents the inlet port of the first expansion valve 3
- (6) represents the outlet port of the first expansion valve 3. Under the state of (6), the refrigerant becomes two-phase mixture of gas/liquid.
- the ratio of gas and liquid corresponds to the ratio of the length of the line segment of L1 (gas) and the length of the line segment of L2 (liquid).
- the refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 4 under the state that the refrigerant keeps the two-phase mixture.
- the gas refrigerant separated in the gas-liquid separator is introduced into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1, that is, between the intermediate cooler 1C and the second-stage pressing portion 1B. (21) represents the outlet port of the gas-liquid separator 4.
- the refrigerant passed through the outlet port of the gas-liquid separator 4 reaches the suction port of the second-stage compressing portion 1B of (3), and then is compressed in the second-stage compressing portion 1B.
- the liquid refrigerant separated in the gas-liquid separator 4 is circulated in the low-pressure side circuit 9.
- (7) represents the outlet port of the gas-liquid separator 4, that is, the inlet port of the second expansion valve 11
- (8) represents the outlet port of the second expansion valve 11
- (22) represents the outlet port of the heat absorber 14.
- the liquid refrigerant entering the heat absorber 14 evaporates to absorb heat.
- (1) represents the suction port of the first-stage compressing portion 1A.
- a cycle indicated by a broken line is formed during refrigerating operation (refrigeration around -5°C) . That is, the state of the cycle is varied in the following order: (9) the suction port of the first-stage compressing portion 1A, (10) the discharge port of the first-stage compressing portion 1A, (11) the suction port of the second-stage compressing portion 1B, (12) the discharge port of the second-stage compressing portion 1B, (5) the inlet port of the first expansion valve 3, (13) the outlet port of the first expansion valve 3, (14) the outlet port of the gas-liquid separator 4 and thus the inlet port of the second expansion valve 11, (15) the outlet port of the second expansion valve 11 and (9) the suction port of the first-stage compressor 1A.
- the pressure (13) of the outlet port of the first expansion valve 3 in the broken-line cycle (under refrigerating operation) is remarkably higher than the pressure (6) of the outlet port of the first expansion valve 3 under the solid-line cycle (under freezing operation) .
- the pressure of the outlet port of the first expansion valve 3 is increased, the amount of the gas component in the refrigerant before the refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 4 is reduced. This is because the ratio between gas and liquid at the inlet port of the gas-liquid separator 4 corresponds to the ratio of L1 (gas) and L2 (liquid) or the ratio of L3 (gas) and L4 (liquid) as described above.
- the amount of the gas refrigerant introduced into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1 is increased, and the efficiency of the refrigerating cycle can be enhanced by some degree because the gas component which does not contribute to cooling is not circulated in the low pressure circuit 9.
- the amount of the gas component is larger as compared with chlorofluorocarbon (Freon) type refrigerant. Accordingly, a higher efficiency can be achieved by introducing a larger amount of gas component into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1.
- the occurrence amount of gas refrigerant to be introduced into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1 itself is small, and thus even when the gas refrigerant is introduced into the intermediate pressure portion, the efficiency of the refrigerating cycle cannot be so enhanced as compared with complication in pipe construction, etc.
- introduction of gas refrigerant into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1 is allowed only under freezing operation because of the effect of introducing the gas refrigerant is higher.
- introduction of gas refrigerant into the intermediate pressure portion of the compressor 1 is inhibited. Therefore, the variable cycle can be implemented and the efficiency of the refrigerating cycle is enhanced by a simple pipe construction and simple control.
- all the parts of the heat absorbing unit 10 which selectively function in different temperature zones, that is, the second expansion valve 11 and the heat absorber 14 are provided to the low pressure side circuit 9. Therefore, for example when the refrigerating operation is carried out and when the freezing operation is carried out, the remarkably highly efficient operation can be performed without reducing the efficiency.
- Fig. 3 shows an applied example of the refrigerating machine of the above embodiment to a refrigerator.
- a refrigerator (fridge) 40 has a refrigerating chamber 41 at the upper stage and a freezing chamber 42 at the lower stage.
- An inner partition wall 43 is provided at the inner back side of the freezing chamber 42, and the heat absorber 14 described above is provided in an air flow path 44 partitioned by the inner partition wall 43.
- a first switching dumper 45 is disposed at the inlet port A of the air flow path 44, and the first switching dumper 45 is switched between a closing position (broken-line position) for closing the inlet port A of the air flow path 44 and an opening position (solid-line position) for opening the inlet port A of the air flow path 44.
- a back side air flow path 46 is formed on the back wall 47 of the refrigerator 40.
- the inlet port 4 of the air flow path 44 and the refrigerating chamber 41 intercommunicate with each other through the back side air flow path 46. Furthermore, a fan 48 and a second switching dumper 49 are disposed at the outlet port B of the air flow path 44, and the second switching dumper 49 is switched between a closing position (broken-line position) for closing the outlet port B of the air flow path 44 and an opening position (solid-line position) for opening the outlet port B of the air flow path 44. At the solid-line position, the second switching dumper 49 closes an opening 51 formed in an intermediate partition wall 50.
- the compressor 1 is turned on, the fan 48 is turned on, the opening/closing valve 91 is opened, and each of the dumpers 45 and 49 is switched to the solid-line position. Accordingly, air in the freezing chamber 42 is circulated in the heat absorber 14, and supplied to the freezing chamber 42.
- the opening/closing valve 91 is closed, and each of the dumpers 45 and 49 is switched to the broken-line position. Accordingly, air in the refrigerating chamber 41 enters the air flow path 44 through the back side air flow path 46, and it is circulated in the heat absorber 14 and then supplied to the refrigerating chamber 41.
- Fig. 5 shows a refrigerant circuit of a modification of the first embodiment.
- the construction of this modification is different from the construction shown in Fig. 1 in the construction of the heat absorbing unit 10.

- Reference numeral 59 represents a check valve.
- the flow amount of the refrigerant flowing in the heat absorber 57 is increased, and the refrigerating operation is carried out. Furthermore, when the refrigerant is made to flow into the second capillary tube 13 by switching the three-way valve 11, the flow amount of the refrigerant flowing in the heat absorber 58 is increased (the flow amount of the refrigerant flowing in the heat absorber 57 is reduced) , and thus the freezing operation is carried out.

- the refrigerator 40 has a refrigerating chamber 41 at the upper stage, and a freezing chamber at the lower stage.
- Inner partition walls 61 and 62 are provided at the inner back sides of the respective chambers 41 and 42.
- the heat absorber 57, 58 and the fan 63, 64 are disposed in an air flow path 44 partitioned by the inner partition wall 61, 62.
- the three-way valve 11 is switched in accordance with thermo-on, thermo-off of the refrigerating operation and the freezing operation to make the refrigerant flow into any one of the heat absorbers 57 and 58, and the corresponding one of the fans 62 and 63 is driven.
- Fig. 7 shows another modification of the first embodiment.
- This construction of this modification is different from the construction of Fig. 6 in the construction of the heat absorbing unit 10.
- the three-way valve is omitted, and electrical motor operated valves 65 and 66 are connected to the capillary tubes 12 and 13 in series, respectively.
- the electrical motor operated valves 65 and 66 are turned on or off in accordance with thermo-on, thermo-off of the refrigerating operation and the freezing operation to make the refrigerant selectively flow into any one of the heat absorbers 57 and 58, and the corresponding one of the fans 62 and 63 is driven.
