The water temperature control regulation unit 80 outputs a signal to the outdoor control unit 70 whenever the detected inlet temperature or outlet temperature of the refrigerant reaches the freezing reference temperature, the anti-frost temperature, or the anti-frost cancellation temperature.
  • the freezing reference temperature indicates a temperature at which the water inside the water heat exchanger 51 is going to be frozen with high possibility when the inlet temperature or the outlet temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the water heat exchanger 51 falls to the freezing reference temperature, the freezing reference temperature is set to 0°C in the embodiment.
  • the water temperature control regulation unit 80 performs a thermo-off operation of the water temperature control unit 40 in order to stop the operation of the water temperature control unit 40. Further, the water temperature control regulation unit 80 may perform a control in which the water temperature control expansion valve 52 is closed and the bypass valve 54 is opened instead of the thermo-off operation.
  • the anti-frost temperature indicates a temperature at which the water inside the water heat exchanger 51 is expected to be going to be frozen.
  • the anti-frost temperature is set to a temperature higher than the freezing reference temperature (in the embodiment, 3°C) and is used to correct the low-pressure protection value LP phmu .
  • the anti-frost cancellation temperature indicates a temperature at which the water inside the water heat exchanger 51 is expected not going to be frozen and is set to a temperature higher than the anti-frost temperature (in the embodiment, 5°C).
  • the determination process operation is performed in an operation in which the water heat exchanger 51 of the water temperature control unit 40 serves as the evaporator.
  • the defrost operation of the outdoor heat exchanger 13 will be exemplified.
  • the water temperature control regulation unit 80 monitors the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the water heat exchanger 51.
  • the freezing determination unit 71 acquires the low pressure LP of the low pressure refrigerant detected by the low-pressure sensor 42 and reads the predetermined low-pressure protection value LP phmu during the defrost operation. The freezing determination unit 71 thereby monitors whether the low pressure LP becomes lower than the low-pressure protection value LP phmu .
  • the low-pressure protection value correction unit 72 corrects the low-pressure protection value LP phmu on the basis of the monitored refrigerant temperature. Specifically, when the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the refrigerant fall to the anti-frost temperature, the low-pressure protection value LP phmu is corrected to a value obtained by adding a predetermined value to the former value.
  • the low-pressure protection value LP phmu is corrected to a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined value from the former value after this state is continued for a predetermined time. In this way, since the low-pressure protection value LP phmu is corrected on the basis of the temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the water heat exchanger 51, it is possible to further improve the determination accuracy in the possibility of the freezing of the water.
  • the freezing determination unit 71 determines that the water is going to be frozen when the low pressure LP becomes lower than the low-pressure protection value LP phmu . Then, the anti-freezing control unit 73 performs a control so that the low pressure LP rises to a value equal to or larger than the low-pressure protection value LP phmu by decreasing the operation frequency (ability) of the compressor 10. Further, the anti-freezing control unit 73 performs a control in which the water temperature control expansion valve 52 is closed and the bypass valve 54 is opened through the water temperature control regulation unit 80 along with the operation frequency control of the compressor 10.
  • the refrigerant flows through the bypass pipe 53, it is possible to prevent the refrigerant from flowing into the water heat exchanger 51 and to prevent the water flowing through the water heat exchanger 51 from being frozen. Further, since the high-temperature refrigerant bypasses the water heat exchanger 51, it is possible to expect a case where an operation point changes in a direction in which the freezing of the water is prevented in accordance with an increase in low pressure of the air conditioner 1. Furthermore, since heat can be drawn from the indoor air by the heat exchange between the refrigerant and the indoor air at the indoor heat exchangers 30 of the indoor units 3A and 3B in the defrost operation, it is possible to continuously perform the defrost operation without stopping the outdoor unit 2 or the indoor units 3A and 3B.
  • FIG. 3 is a circuit configuration diagram of a refrigeration cycle device according to the other embodiment.
  • a refrigeration cycle device 1A includes one outdoor unit 2 and a plurality of (two in FIG. 3 ) water temperature control units 40A and 40B which are connected in parallel to the outdoor unit 2. That is, the refrigeration cycle device 1A does not include an indoor unit differently from the air conditioner 1.
  • the configurations of the outdoor unit 2 and the water temperature control units 40A and 40B are similar to those of the above-described examples and the water temperature control units 40A and 40B are connected to a branching device through branch gas pipes 133A and 133B and branch liquid pipes 134A and 134B.
  • the same reference numerals will be given to the other components and a description thereof will be omitted.
  • the embodiment has a feature in an anti-freezing process operation, but since a determination process of determining whether water is going to be frozen is the same, a description thereof will be omitted.
  • the air conditioner 1 determines that water is going to be frozen when the low pressure LP becomes lower than the low-pressure protection value LP phmu during the defrost operation and performs a control so that the water temperature control expansion valve 52 is closed and the bypass valve 54 is opened via the water temperature control regulation unit 80. Accordingly, the defrost operation can be continuously performed in such a manner that the indoor heat exchangers 30 of the indoor units 3A and 3B draw heat from indoor air.
  • the refrigeration cycle device 1A since the refrigeration cycle device 1A according to the other embodiment includes the water temperature control units 40A and 40B and does not include the indoor unit, heat cannot be drawn from the indoor air. For this reason, when it is determined that water is going to be frozen, the anti-freezing control unit 73 can increase a temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigeration circuit to a freezing determination temperature or more by decreasing an operation frequency (ability) of the compressor 10. Additionally, the anti-freezing control unit 73 performs a control so that the circulation pump 61 is continuously operated via the water temperature control regulation unit 80. Accordingly, water which is heated by the water temperature control tank 60 is supplied to the water heat exchanger 51 via the water circulation path 63 in a circulation manner. For this reason, since the refrigerant which flows into the water heat exchanger 51 can draw heat from the heated water while exchanging heat with the circulated water, the defrost operation can be continued without the stop of the outdoor unit 2.
  • each of the air conditioner 1 and the refrigeration cycle device 1A includes the outdoor unit 2 which includes the compressor 10 compressing a refrigerant and the outdoor heat exchanger 13 exchanging heat between a refrigerant and external air and the water temperature control unit 40 which includes the water heat exchanger 51 connected to the outdoor unit 2 through the unit connection pipe 6.
  • the water heat exchanger 51 exchanges heat between water and a refrigerant supplied from the outdoor unit 2.
  • Each of the air conditioner 1 and the refrigeration cycle device 1A further includes the low-pressure sensor 42 which detects a low pressure LP of a refrigerant at a suction side of the compressor 10 and the freezing determination unit 71.
  • the freezing determination unit 71 determines that water flowing through the water heat exchanger 51 is going to be frozen when the low pressure LP is lower than a predetermined low-pressure protection value LP phmu during an operation in which the water heat exchanger 51 serves as an evaporator.
  • the low-pressure protection value LP phmu is set in consideration of pressure loss generated when a refrigerant flows through the unit connection pipe 6 during an operation in which the water heat exchanger 51 serves as an evaporator. Thereby it is possible to highly accurately determine whether water in the water heat exchanger 51 is going to be frozen even in a configuration in which the water temperature control unit 40 is disposed at a position separated from the outdoor unit 2.
  • the low-pressure protection value correction unit 72 which corrects the low-pressure protection value LP phmu to a high value when a temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the water heat exchanger 51 falls to the anti-frost temperature higher than the freezing reference temperature of the water, and corrects the low-pressure protection value LP phmu to a low value when the temperature of the refrigerant rises to the anti-frost cancellation temperature higher than the anti-frost temperature.
  • the low-pressure protection value correction unit 72 is provided which corrects the low-pressure protection value LP phmu to a high value when a temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the water heat exchanger 51 falls to the anti-frost temperature higher than the freezing reference temperature of the water, and corrects the low-pressure protection value LP phmu to a low value when the temperature of the refrigerant rises to the anti-frost cancellation temperature higher than the anti-frost temperature.
  • the indoor units 3A and 3B which are connected to the outdoor unit 2 in parallel to the water temperature control unit 40 includes the indoor heat exchanger 30 exchanging heat between a refrigerant and indoor air is provided.
  • the water temperature control unit 40 includes the water temperature control expansion valve 52 which is provided at a refrigerant inlet side of the water heat exchanger 51, the bypass pipe 53 which bypasses the water temperature control expansion valve 52 and the water heat exchanger 51, and the bypass valve 54 which is provided in the bypass pipe 53.
  • the anti-freezing control unit 73 is provided which prevents water from being frozen by closing the water temperature control expansion valve 52 and opening the bypass valve 54 when the freezing determination unit 71 determines that water flowing through the water heat exchanger 51 is going to be frozen.
  • the water temperature control unit 40 includes the water circulation path 63 which supplies water to the water heat exchanger 51 in a circulation manner.
  • the anti-freezing control unit 73 is provided which prevents water from being frozen by decreasing the ability of the compressor 10 and supplying water to the water heat exchanger 51 in a circulation manner when the freezing determination unit 71 determines that water flowing through the water heat exchanger 51 is going to be frozen. Thereby it is possible to decrease an amount of a refrigerant flowing into the water heat exchanger 51. Further, since the refrigerant flowing into the water heat exchanger 51 exchanges heat with circulated water, it is possible to prevent water flowing through the water heat exchanger 51 from being frozen without disturbing the operation of the outdoor unit 2.
  • the embodiment is merely an example and does not limit the scope of the invention.
  • the embodiment can be modified into various forms and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
  • the embodiment or the modification thereof is included in the scope of the invention, the embodiment or the modification thereof is also included in the invention of claims and the equivalent thereof.
  • the defrost operation has been described as an operation in which the water heat exchanger 51 of the water temperature control unit 40 serves as the evaporator, but a water cooling operation may be, of course, used.
