Generally, when high performance is required for an air conditioner using a refrigeration cycle, it is necessary to select a model having a large outdoor unit capacity. When the number is large, the number of heat storage tanks is also large, and a large space is required. Further, since the heat storage is performed when the air conditioner is not operating, the capacity cannot be improved when the heat storage is exhausted. Further, in the case where the heat source device is provided, not only the construction for cooling the liquid refrigerant is required, but also the space for the heat source device is required.

As a result, heat is exchanged between the cold heat source of the second refrigeration cycle and the liquid refrigerant of the main refrigeration cycle, thereby increasing the specific enthalpy difference on the evaporation side during cooling and suppressing an increase in the amount of circulating refrigerant. can do. Since the amount of circulating refrigerant can be reduced, even if the refrigerant pipe is made thinner, there is no increase in pipe pressure loss. By making the refrigerant pipe thinner, the amount of refrigerant to be charged can be reduced and workability is improved.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 shows a cooling operation. The high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 11 flows to the outdoor heat exchanger 13 and the outdoor fan 15
The heat exchanges with the outdoor air and condenses into liquid refrigerant. On the other hand, the high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the second compressor 11a of the second refrigeration cycle 2 flows to the second outdoor heat exchanger 13a, and exchanges heat with the outdoor air by the outdoor fan 15 to be condensed to become a liquid refrigerant. The pressure is reduced by the device 14a, the heat is exchanged with the liquid refrigerant flowing from the outdoor heat exchanger 13 in the second heat exchanger 21, and the refrigerant is evaporated and sucked into the second compressor 11a. The liquid refrigerant flowing from the outdoor heat exchanger 13 is supercooled by the second heat exchanger, flows through the liquid pipe 7 and is sent to the indoor unit 3. In the indoor unit 3, the liquid refrigerant is decompressed by the decompression device 16 having a reduced opening, enters the indoor heat exchanger 17, and is exchanged with indoor air by the indoor fan 18. At this time, the indoor air is cooled, and the refrigerant evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant and returns to the outdoor unit 1 through the gas pipe 9. The low-pressure gas refrigerant returned to the outdoor unit 1 is sucked into the compressor 11. The state of the refrigerant on the Mollier diagram is as shown by the solid line in FIG. The broken line shows the state when the second refrigeration cycle does not operate, and it can be seen that the specific enthalpy difference on the evaporation side becomes larger when the second refrigeration cycle is operated and the capacity increases. Further, when the second refrigeration cycle 2 is not operated, the heat transfer area is increased by the amount of the second outdoor heat exchanger, so that the condensing capacity is slightly increased, so that the discharge pressure is lowered and the coefficient of performance is good.

Further, since the amount of circulating refrigerant can be reduced, even if the refrigerant pipe is made thinner, there is no increase in pipe pressure loss. By making the refrigerant pipe thinner, the amount of refrigerant to be charged can be reduced and workability is improved. Furthermore, the amount of the refrigerant in the second refrigeration cycle may be small, and the joints and the pipes can be welded and sealed securely, so that it is possible to use a refrigerant having a risk of toxicity or flammability. Therefore, even if there is a concern about toxicity and flammability, a refrigerant having a low global warming coefficient and a good coefficient of performance can be used, and the range of refrigerant selection can be expanded.

The high-pressure high-temperature gas refrigerant discharged from the second compressor of the second refrigeration cycle 2 enters the second heat exchanger 21,
The refrigerant in the second refrigeration cycle 2 is condensed by heat exchange with the refrigerant depressurized in the outdoor decompression device 14 of the main refrigeration cycle, and decompressed in the second decompression device 14a and communicates with outdoor air in the second outdoor heat exchanger 13a. Heat is exchanged, evaporated and sucked into the second compressor. The refrigerant decompressed by the outdoor decompression device 14 of the main refrigeration cycle evaporates by exchanging heat in the second heat exchanger 21, further evaporates by exchanging heat with outdoor air in the outdoor heat exchanger 13, and the four-way valve 12, the accumulator 9. And is sucked into the compressor 11. As described above, in the example of FIG. 10, at the time of heating, the evaporating pressure of the main refrigeration cycle increases, so that the evaporating pressure increases, the suction pressure also increases, the refrigerant circulation amount increases, and the heating capacity increases. To increase. FIG. 11 shows this state in a Mollier diagram. The solid line shows the state of this embodiment,
The broken line indicates a state where the second refrigeration cycle is not operated.
