  • the proviso "and / or” means that the refrigerant line is formed with its cold ⁇ medium inflow either either so that the refrigerant inflow either opens above or below the refrigerant level, or that the refrigerant additive Flow opening is formed so that it opens both above and below the refrigerant level, which incheswei ⁇ se may be realized by a correspondingly large refrigerant inlet or by a plurality of refrigerant inflow at the guided into the refrigerant collector refrigerant line.
  • the heat pump device In contrast to the heat pump device mentioned above, it is thus possible in the heat pump device according to the invention to supply optionally pure refrigerant vapor, liquid refrigerant or even refrigerant wet steam to the compressor.
  • state of aggregation the refrigerant is injected into the compressor can be determined via the controllable Ex ⁇ expansion valve and thus on the refrigerant level in the cold ⁇ means collector.
  • liquid refrigerant offers, as mentioned above, the ability to cool the compressor to lower the hot gas ⁇ temperature and thus expand the limits of use.
  • a heat pump device in which a comparatively small part of the refrigerant coming from the condenser is branched off and led to the decoupling voltage via a controllable expansion valve to which a heat exchanger (so-called economizer) is connected downstream to transfer heat between the small, already relaxed some of the refrigerant and the rest of kom from the condenser ⁇ Menden refrigerant.
  • a heat exchanger so-called economizer
  • the expanded refrigerant can be injected to the compressor, wherein festle ⁇ gene can be over the setting of the expansion valve, which physical state (liquid, vapor or wet vapor) has the injected refrigerant.
  • Ver ⁇ equal to the described inventive solution in comparison to the refrigerant collector

  • FIG 5 is an enlarged view of the refrigerant collector according to Figure 4.
  • FIG. 6 shows a heat pump device according to the prior art
  • the heat pump devices shown in Figures 1, 3, 4 and 6 consist in a known manner from a compressor 1, in particular a so-called screw or Scrollverdich- ter, which is followed by a condenser 2, which is particularly preferably designed as a plate capacitor.
  • This condenser is a refrigerant collector 3 (also called high pressure collector) downstream, which is connected to the intermediate injection of refrigerant in the compressor 1 with this via a refrigerant line 4 ⁇ .
  • this intermediate injection serves the purpose of improving the efficiency of the heat pump device. tion or to expand the application limits of the heat pump device.
  • the refrigerant collector 3 is shown enlarged for better understanding.
  • a From ⁇ section 7 of the refrigerant pipe 4 in the refrigerant collector 3 is arranged.
  • the refrigerant inflow opening (s) 6 is (are) arranged on the section 7 of the refrigerant line 4.
  • the section 7 is tubular and in particular formed as a U-shaped piece of pipe.
  • the section 7 also has a vertical extension direction and an open line end 8.
