Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air-conditioner and, more particularly, to an air-conditioner having four compressors and three accumulators.
- a heat-pump type air-conditioner can be operable both for air-cooling and air-heating.
- the heat-pump type air-conditioner can be used both as an air-cooling device and as an air-heating device by making a refrigerant of a refrigerating cycle to flow reversely.
- Figure 1 shows the construction of a refrigerating cycle of the heat-pump type air-conditioner in accordance with a conventional art.
- the conventional heat-pump type air-conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger 102 installed indoors and performing air-cooling or air-heating, an outdoor heat exchanger 104 disposed outdoors and heat-exchanged with outdoor air; a four-way valve 106 for switching a flow of a refrigerant in a forward direction or a backward direction; an expansion valve 110 installed at a refrigerant pipe connecting the outdoor heat exchanger 104 and the indoor heat exchanger 102 and changing a refrigerant gas to have a low temperature and low pressure, compressors 112, 114, 116 and 118 for compressing a refrigerant to have a high temperature and high pressure, and an accumulator 130 connected to the compressors 112, 114, 116 and 118 by discharge pipes 120, 122, 124 and 126, separating the refrigerant into a gas and a liquid, and supplying the gaseous refrigerant to each compressor 112, 114, 116 and 118.
- the compressors are the first compressor 112, the second compressor 114, the third compressor 116 and the fourth compressor 118, and check valves 140 are installed at discharge sides of each compressor 112, 114, 116 and 118 to prevent the refrigerant from flowing backward.
- the accumulator 130 having a large capacity separates the refrigerant sucked through the refrigerant pipe 142 into a gas and a liquid and distributes the gaseous refrigerant to the first to fourth compressors 112, 114, 116 and 118.
- the accumulator 130 includes a case 150 connected to the refrigerant pipe 142 through which the refrigerant is sucked thereinto and having a hermetic space, first to fourth discharge tubes 160, 162, 164 and 166 inserted for as long as a prescribed length into the case 150 from the lower side of the case 150 and supplying a gas refrigerant gasificated inside the case 150 to each compressor 112, 114, 116 and 118, a screen 152 installed at an upper portion inside the case 150, and a tube holder 154 for supporting the discharge tubes 160, 162, 164 and 166 inserted inside the case 150.
- Oil contained in the refrigerant introduced through the refrigerant pipe 142 is stored at the side portion of the case 150, and oil retrieval holes 156 are formed respectively at one portion of the first to fourth discharge tubes 160, 162, 164. and 166. Accordingly, the oil stored at the lower portion of the case 150 is sucked into the oil retrieval holes 156 by virtue of a pressure of the refrigerant flowing in the first to fourth discharge tubes 160, 162, 164 and 166, and retrieved to each compressor 112, 114, 116 and 118, thereby performing a lubricating operation of the compressors.
- first to fourth discharge tubes 160, 162, 164 and 166 which are respectively connected to the four compressors 112, 114, 116 and 118, are installed in one accumulator 130, the amount of oil sucked through each discharge tube 160, 162, 164 and 166 differs, and thus, some compressor(s) to which relatively less oil is retrieved can be damaged due to oil shortage.
- one object of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioner having multiple compressors in which three accumulators are provided to uniformly supply oil to four compressors, thereby enhancing reliability of compressors.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioner having multiple compressors capable of easily securing an installation space for three low-capacity small accumulators.

- the compressors are first, second, third and fourth compressors. Each compressor can have the same capacity or compressors with different capacities are applied at various rates.
- the accumulators include a first accumulator for receiving the refrigerant and separating it into a gas and a liquid; a second accumulator connected to the first accumulator by a refrigerant pipe and connected to the first and second compressors; and a third accumulator connected to the first accumulator by a refrigerant pipe and connected to the third and fourth compressors.
- the second accumulator is connected to the first compressor by a first pipe and to the second compressor by a second pipe, separates the refrigerant supplied to the first accumulator into a gas and a liquid, and supplies the gaseous refrigerant to the first and second compressors.
- the third accumulator is connected to the third compressor by a third pipe and to the fourth compressor by a fourth pipe, separates the refrigerant supplied to the first accumulator into a gas and a liquid, and supplies the gaseous refrigerant to the third and fourth compressors.
- Figure 3 shows the construction of a refrigerant cycle of a heat-pump type air-conditioner in accordance with the present invention.
- the air-conditioner of the present invention includes an indoor heat-exchanger 2 disposed indoors and heat-exchanged with indoor air; outdoor heat-exchangers 4 and 6 disposed outdoors and heat-exchanged with external air; a four-way valve 8 for switching a flow of a refrigerant in a forward direction or a backward direction; compressors 20, 22, 24 and 26 for compressing the refrigerant to change it to have a high temperature and high pressure; and a plurality of accumulators 30, 32 and 35 for separating the refrigerant supplied to the compressors 20, 22, 24 and 26 into a gas and a liquid.
- the outdoor heat-exchangers 4 and 6 are first outdoor heat exchanger 4 and second outdoor heat exchanger 6.
- Expansion valves 10 are installed at refrigerant pipes 12 and 14 connecting the outdoor heat exchangers 4 and 6 and the indoor heat exchanger 2 in order to change the refrigerant to a low temperature and low pressure state.
- the compressors refer to the first compressor 20, the second compressor 22, the third compressor 24 and the fourth compressor 26.
- the compressors 20, 22, 24 and 26 may have the same capacity. Or, compressors having different capacities at several rates can be adopted.
- Check valves 16 are installed at each discharge side of the compressors 20, 22, 24 and 26 in order to prevent the refrigerant from flowing backward.
