Description
本発明は、塩素原子を含まず、炭素と炭素間に二重結合を有するハイドロフルオロオレフィンを冷媒として用い、冷凍機油を封入した圧縮機、凝縮器、膨張機構ならびに蒸発器を備えた冷凍装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a refrigeration apparatus including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator, in which a hydrofluoroolefin having no chlorine atom and having a double bond between carbon and carbon is used as a refrigerant, and refrigeration oil is enclosed. .
従来、例えば空調機やカーエアコンに形成される冷凍サイクルには、冷媒として、フッ素と水素を含むフッ化炭化水素(HFC)が用いられてきた。また、このような冷凍装置では、冷媒としてのHFCとの相溶性の観点から、例えばポリアルキレングリコール(PAG)、ポリオールエステル(POE)又はポリビニルエーテル(PVE)のような、極性を有する冷凍機油が用いられてきた。 Conventionally, for example, in a refrigeration cycle formed in an air conditioner or a car air conditioner, a fluorinated hydrocarbon (HFC) containing fluorine and hydrogen has been used as a refrigerant. Further, in such a refrigeration apparatus, from the viewpoint of compatibility with HFC as a refrigerant, a refrigerating machine oil having a polarity such as polyalkylene glycol (PAG), polyol ester (POE) or polyvinyl ether (PVE) is used. Has been used.
従来このような冷凍サイクル内では、圧縮機の摺動部にて激しい摩耗が生じた場合に摩耗粉や系内の冷凍機油の劣化生成物などによるスラッジが発生することが知られている。このような激しい摩耗を防止するために圧縮機側で摺動部を硬くすること、また、冷凍機油側では極圧添加剤やリン系摩耗防止剤、油性剤などの添加剤を入れることで対応してきた。また、冷凍サイクル内に混入する水分や空気を管理することで劣化を防止していた。 Conventionally, in such a refrigeration cycle, it is known that sludge is generated due to wear powder or a degradation product of refrigeration oil in the system when severe wear occurs in the sliding portion of the compressor. In order to prevent such intense wear, the sliding part is hardened on the compressor side, and on the refrigerator oil side, it is possible to add additives such as extreme pressure additives, phosphorus-based antiwear agents and oiliness agents. I have done it. Moreover, deterioration was prevented by managing the moisture and air mixed in the refrigeration cycle.
また、近年は地球温暖化防止のためHFCに代わって地球温暖化係数が小さい新しい冷媒であるハイドロフルオロオレフィンが冷媒として検討されている(例えば、特許文献1)。 In recent years, hydrofluoroolefin, which is a new refrigerant having a small global warming potential, has been studied as a refrigerant in place of HFC in order to prevent global warming (for example, Patent Document 1).
特許文献に開示されたハイドロフルオロオレフィン冷媒は分子中に二重結合を有しており、従来のHFCと比較して水分や酸素等に対して比較的不安定な分子構造を有する。そのため特に圧縮機の摺動部分のように高温となる部分において冷媒の劣化生成物が反応して摺動部の摩耗を促進し、冷凍装置の信頼性を損なうおそれがある。 The hydrofluoroolefin refrigerant disclosed in the patent document has a double bond in the molecule, and has a relatively unstable molecular structure with respect to moisture, oxygen and the like as compared with a conventional HFC. For this reason, the deteriorated product of the refrigerant reacts particularly at a portion where the temperature is high, such as a sliding portion of the compressor, and wear of the sliding portion is promoted, which may impair the reliability of the refrigeration apparatus.
それ故に本発明の目的は、冷媒であるハイドロフルオロオレフィンが水分や酸素等と反応した冷媒の劣化生成物が摺動部の摩耗を促進することを防止することによって、冷凍サイクル内の使用部品の劣化を抑え長期間に渡って安定的に動作可能な冷凍装置を提供することである。 Therefore, the object of the present invention is to prevent the deterioration product of the refrigerant, which is a reaction of the hydrofluoroolefin, which is the refrigerant, with moisture, oxygen, etc. An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration apparatus that can suppress deterioration and operate stably over a long period of time.
上記目的を達成するために、本発明は、炭素と炭素間に二重結合を有するハイドロフルオロオレフィンの単一冷媒、またはそれをベース成分とし、二重結合を有しないハイドロフルオロカーボンと混合した冷媒を封入し、当該冷媒が圧縮機、凝縮器、膨張機構、蒸発器を循環する冷媒循環経路を備え、かつ、前記圧縮機の冷凍機油中に硫黄系極圧添加剤を含有するものである。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a single refrigerant of a hydrofluoroolefin having a double bond between carbons or a refrigerant mixed with a hydrofluorocarbon having such a base component and having no double bond. The refrigerant is provided with a refrigerant circulation path through which the refrigerant circulates through a compressor, a condenser, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator, and contains a sulfur-based extreme pressure additive in the refrigerating machine oil of the compressor.
上記構成によれば、冷凍装置内の冷凍機油中に硫黄系極圧添加剤が含まれているので、
ハイドロフルオロオレフィン系冷媒の酸化反応により発生したフッ化水素やその他反応生成物が圧縮機の摺動面にアタックする前に、硫黄系極圧添加剤が摺動表面と反応して、硫黄含有極圧層を形成する。この硫黄含有極圧層はC−S結合のせん断しやすい構造の被膜を有しており摺動面同士のスティックアンドスリップを防ぎ摩擦摩耗を低減するため、冷凍装置の起動時など摺動面の油が少ない状況でも極圧効果を発揮することができ、摺動面の信頼性を確保できる。
According to the above configuration, since the sulfur-based extreme pressure additive is contained in the refrigerating machine oil in the refrigeration apparatus,
Before the hydrogen fluoride and other reaction products generated by the oxidation reaction of the hydrofluoroolefin-based refrigerant attack the sliding surface of the compressor, the sulfur-based extreme pressure additive reacts with the sliding surface to cause a sulfur-containing electrode. A pressure layer is formed. This sulfur-containing extreme pressure layer has a coating with a C—S bond that is easy to shear and prevents stick-and-slip between sliding surfaces to reduce frictional wear. The extreme pressure effect can be exhibited even in a situation where there is little oil, and the reliability of the sliding surface can be secured.
第1の発明は、炭素と炭素間に二重結合を有するハイドロフルオロオレフィンの単一冷媒、またはそれをベース成分とし、二重結合を有しないハイドロフルオロカーボンと混合した冷媒を封入し、当該冷媒が圧縮機、凝縮器、膨張機構、蒸発器を循環する冷媒循環経路を備え、かつ、前記圧縮機の冷凍機油中に硫黄系極圧添加剤を含有するものである。 According to a first aspect of the present invention, a single refrigerant of hydrofluoroolefin having a double bond between carbons or a refrigerant mixed with a hydrofluorocarbon having the base component and not having a double bond is sealed. A refrigerant circulation path that circulates through a compressor, a condenser, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator is provided, and a sulfur-based extreme pressure additive is contained in the refrigerating machine oil of the compressor.
これにより、ハイドロフルオロオレフィン系冷媒の酸化反応により発生したフッ化水素やその他反応生成物が圧縮機の摺動面にアタックする前に、硫黄系極圧添加剤が摺動表面と反応して、硫黄含有極圧層を形成する。この硫黄含有極圧層はC−S結合のせん断しやすい構造の被膜を有しており摺動面同士のスティックアンドスリップを防ぎ摩擦摩耗を低減するため、冷凍装置の起動時など摺動面の油が少ない状況でも極圧効果を発揮することができ、摺動面の信頼性を確保できる。 Thus, before the hydrogen fluoride and other reaction products generated by the oxidation reaction of the hydrofluoroolefin refrigerant attack the sliding surface of the compressor, the sulfur-based extreme pressure additive reacts with the sliding surface, A sulfur-containing extreme pressure layer is formed. This sulfur-containing extreme pressure layer has a coating with a C—S bond that is easy to shear and prevents stick-and-slip between sliding surfaces to reduce frictional wear. The extreme pressure effect can be exhibited even in a situation where there is little oil, and the reliability of the sliding surface can be secured.
第2の発明は、第1の発明において冷凍機油中に硫黄系極圧添加剤の硫黄架橋数が3以下とするものであり、硫黄架橋数が3以下である硫黄系極圧添加剤を用いているので、摺動面が高温になっても硫黄原子が遊離しにくく、硫黄原子による冷凍装置内の銅との反応を防ぐことができるので、冷凍装置内の信頼性を確保できる。 The second invention uses the sulfur-based extreme pressure additive in which the number of sulfur bridges of the sulfur-based extreme pressure additive is 3 or less and the number of sulfur bridges is 3 or less in the refrigerating machine oil according to the first invention. Therefore, even if the sliding surface becomes high temperature, sulfur atoms are not easily liberated, and reaction with copper in the refrigeration apparatus due to sulfur atoms can be prevented, so that the reliability in the refrigeration apparatus can be ensured.
第3の発明は、第1または第2の発明において冷凍機油中に金属不活性化剤を含有するものであり、冷凍装置内の配管等に使用される銅の表面に付着して銅の極圧添加剤との反応を防ぐことができる。 The third invention includes a metal deactivator in the refrigerating machine oil according to the first or second invention, and adheres to the surface of copper used for piping or the like in the refrigeration apparatus. Reaction with the pressure additive can be prevented.
第4の発明は、第1〜3の発明において冷凍機油中に硫黄系極圧添加剤に加えリン系極圧添加剤の双方を含有するものであり、摺動面の荷重が低いところではリン系極圧添加剤が、高荷重では硫黄系極圧添加剤が摺動面に有効に作用するため、圧縮機の広い負荷範囲での摺動特性を良化できる。 In a fourth aspect of the invention, the refrigerating machine oil according to any one of the first to third aspects of the invention contains both a sulfur type extreme pressure additive and a phosphorus type extreme pressure additive. When the system extreme pressure additive is a high load, the sulfur system extreme pressure additive effectively acts on the sliding surface, so that the sliding characteristics in a wide load range of the compressor can be improved.
第5の発明は、第1〜4の発明において冷凍機油がポリオールエステル、ポリビニルエーテル、ポリアルキレングリコールのうち少なくとも一つを主成分とするものであり、これらポリオールエステル、ポリビニルエーテル、ポリアルキレングリコールは、冷媒との相溶性が良好であるから、冷凍装置内で冷媒とともに冷凍機油が循環でき、圧縮機から吐出された冷凍機油が戻ってくることができる。そのため圧縮機内の冷凍機油不足による潤滑不良を防ぐことができる。 In a fifth aspect of the present invention, the refrigerating machine oil according to the first to fourth aspects of the present invention comprises at least one of a polyol ester, polyvinyl ether, and polyalkylene glycol as a main component. These polyol ester, polyvinyl ether, and polyalkylene glycol are: Since the compatibility with the refrigerant is good, the refrigeration oil can be circulated together with the refrigerant in the refrigeration apparatus, and the refrigeration oil discharged from the compressor can be returned. Therefore, it is possible to prevent poor lubrication due to a shortage of refrigerating machine oil in the compressor.
第6の発明は、第1〜5の発明において圧縮機の摺動部を構成する摺動部材が表面化改質層を有するものであり、圧縮機の摺動部を構成する摺動部材は表面化改質層を有しているため摺動部分表面の極性を保持することができ、摺動面上での均一な極圧層を形成するため摺動面の信頼性を確保できる。 In a sixth aspect of the invention, in the first to fifth aspects of the invention, the sliding member constituting the sliding portion of the compressor has a surface modification layer, and the sliding member constituting the sliding portion of the compressor is surfaced. Since the modified layer is provided, the polarity of the surface of the sliding portion can be maintained, and since the uniform extreme pressure layer is formed on the sliding surface, the reliability of the sliding surface can be ensured.
第7の発明は、第1〜6の発明においてハイドロフルオロオレフィンはテトラフルオロプロペンをベース成分とし、ハイドロフルオロカーボンとしてジフルオロメタンとペンタフルオロエタンを、地球温暖化係数が5以上、750以下となるように、望ましくは300以下となるようにそれぞれ2成分混合もしくは3成分混合した冷媒を封入するものであり、回収されない冷媒が大気に放出されても地球温暖化に対しその影響を極少に保つことができる。 According to a seventh invention, in the first to sixth inventions, the hydrofluoroolefin has tetrafluoropropene as a base component, difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane as hydrofluorocarbons, and a global warming coefficient of 5 or more and 750 or less. In addition, it is preferable to enclose a refrigerant mixed with two or three components so as to be 300 or less, and even if unrecovered refrigerant is released to the atmosphere, the influence on global warming can be kept to a minimum. .
以下、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(実施の形態1)
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1における冷凍装置のサイクル図である。図1において、冷凍装置は、冷媒循環経路として、冷媒を圧縮する圧縮機1と、冷媒を凝縮又は蒸発させる室外熱交換器2と、膨張弁等のような冷媒を膨張させる膨張機構3と、冷媒を蒸発又は凝縮させる室内熱交換器4とを備える。冷凍装置はさらに、上記構成を連結する配管5、四方弁6及びアキュムレータ7を備えており、冷媒と冷凍機油とを作動媒体とする。冷凍機油は通常、圧縮機内に封入されており、使用時にはそのごく一部が冷媒とともに冷凍サイクル内を循環する。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a cycle diagram of a refrigeration apparatus in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the refrigeration apparatus includes, as a refrigerant circulation path, a compressor 1 that compresses refrigerant, an outdoor heat exchanger 2 that condenses or evaporates the refrigerant, an expansion mechanism 3 that expands the refrigerant such as an expansion valve, and the like. And an indoor heat exchanger 4 for evaporating or condensing the refrigerant. The refrigeration apparatus further includes a pipe 5, a four-way valve 6, and an accumulator 7 that connect the above-described configurations, and uses refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil as working media. Refrigerating machine oil is usually enclosed in a compressor, and a small part of it circulates in the refrigeration cycle together with the refrigerant during use.
本実施の形態の冷媒として2,3,3,3−テトラフルオロ−1−プロペン(以下「HFO−1234yf」という。)が用いられている。 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene (hereinafter referred to as “HFO-1234yf”) is used as the refrigerant in the present embodiment.
さらに、図1において、圧縮機1に封入される冷凍機油は冷媒と相溶性を有する基油を含むものである。本実施の形態ではポリオールエステル、ポリビニルエーテル、ポリアルキレングリコールの基油のうち少なくとも1種類を主成分とする冷凍機油を用いることが可能である。 Furthermore, in FIG. 1, the refrigerating machine oil enclosed in the compressor 1 includes a base oil having compatibility with the refrigerant. In this embodiment, it is possible to use a refrigerating machine oil whose main component is at least one base oil of polyol ester, polyvinyl ether, or polyalkylene glycol.
本実施の形態の冷凍機油にはこの3種類のうちポリオールエステルだけを主成分とする冷凍機油が用いられている。ここで、ポリオールエステル系冷凍機油は多価アルコールと飽和または不飽和脂肪酸との脱水反応により合成される。多価アルコールとしては、ネオペンチルグリコール、ペンタエリスリトール、ジペンタエリスリトールなどが冷凍機油の粘度に合わせて用いられる。また一方の飽和脂肪酸としては、ヘキサン酸、ヘプタン酸、ノナン酸、デカン酸などの直鎖の脂肪酸ならびに2−メチルヘキサン酸、2−エチルヘキサン酸、3,5,5−トリメチルヘキサン酸などの分岐鎖の脂肪酸が用いられる。直鎖脂肪酸を含むポリオールエステル油は摺動特性が良好だが加水分解性に劣り、分岐鎖脂肪酸を含むエステル油は摺動特性が若干劣るものの加水分解しにくいという特長を有している点に留意すべきである。 Of the three types of refrigerating machine oil according to the present embodiment, refrigerating machine oil mainly composed of polyol ester is used. Here, the polyol ester refrigerating machine oil is synthesized by a dehydration reaction between a polyhydric alcohol and a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid. As the polyhydric alcohol, neopentyl glycol, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol and the like are used according to the viscosity of the refrigerating machine oil. One saturated fatty acid includes straight-chain fatty acids such as hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, nonanoic acid, and decanoic acid, and branched such as 2-methylhexanoic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, and 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid. Chain fatty acids are used. Note that polyol ester oils containing linear fatty acids have good sliding properties but poor hydrolyzability, and ester oils containing branched chain fatty acids have the advantage of being difficult to hydrolyze, although they have slightly poor sliding properties. Should.
また、本実施の形態の冷凍機油には硫黄系極圧添加剤および必要に応じて、ジブチル−p−クレゾールなどの酸化防止剤や含エポキシ化合物などの酸捕捉剤および消泡剤などの各種の添加剤が選択的に加えられる。 Further, the refrigerating machine oil of the present embodiment includes various sulfur-based extreme pressure additives and, if necessary, an antioxidant such as dibutyl-p-cresol, an acid scavenger such as an epoxy-containing compound, and an antifoaming agent. Additives are selectively added.
硫黄系極圧添加剤としては硫化油脂、硫化脂肪酸、硫化エステル、硫化オレフィン、ジアルキルポリスルフィド、ジベンジルジスルフィド、オリゴマポリスルフィドなどが挙げられる。これらの硫黄系極圧添加剤の硫黄架橋数は3以下であることが好ましい。硫黄の架橋長が4以上になると冷凍機油中に硫黄を放出しやすくなるため冷凍サイクル内の配管等に使用されている銅を腐食する可能性があり好ましくない。 Examples of sulfur-based extreme pressure additives include sulfurized fats and oils, sulfurized fatty acids, sulfurized esters, sulfurized olefins, dialkyl polysulfides, dibenzyl disulfides, oligomer polysulfides, and the like. These sulfur-based extreme pressure additives preferably have 3 or less sulfur bridges. If the sulfur cross-linking length is 4 or more, sulfur is likely to be released into the refrigerating machine oil, which may corrode copper used in piping or the like in the refrigeration cycle.
また硫黄の銅配管腐食を防止する目的で金属不活性化剤を使用するのが好ましい。本実施の形態では金属不活性化剤としてベンゾトリアゾール類を用いている。 It is also preferable to use a metal deactivator for the purpose of preventing sulfur copper pipe corrosion. In the present embodiment, benzotriazoles are used as a metal deactivator.
さらに極圧効果を向上させるためリン系極圧添加剤を同時に使用することが好ましい。リン系極圧添加剤はトリクレジルフォスフェートやトリフェニルフォスフェートなどのリン酸エステル、亜リン酸エステル、酸性リン酸エステルのアミン塩などが用いられるが、冷凍機油との相溶性に優れたトリクレジルフォスフェートやトリフェニルフォスフェートなどの酸性リン酸エステルが最適である。リン系極圧添加剤は硫黄系極圧添加剤よりも低い荷重から効果が出るため、硫黄系極圧添加剤とリン系極圧添加剤を併用することは、インバータ制御により広い周波数範囲で運転される冷凍サイクルの圧縮機での使用に最適である。 Furthermore, it is preferable to use a phosphorus-based extreme pressure additive at the same time to improve the extreme pressure effect. Phosphorus extreme pressure additives include phosphate esters such as tricresyl phosphate and triphenyl phosphate, phosphite esters, amine salts of acidic phosphate esters, etc., but excellent compatibility with refrigerating machine oil Acid phosphates such as tricresyl phosphate and triphenyl phosphate are optimal. Phosphorus extreme pressure additives are effective at lower loads than sulfur extreme pressure additives, so using sulfur extreme pressure additives and phosphorus extreme pressure additives in a wide frequency range with inverter control Ideal for use in compressors of refrigeration cycles.
本実施の形態で使用する圧縮機は一般的なロータリ圧縮機であって、シリンダ内をピストンが偏心回転し、ベーン先端を押しながら冷媒を吸入・圧縮・吐出するものである。そのため摺動部となるベーンの先端は表面改質層が形成されている。ベーン先端の表面改質層は極性保持効果を有するものであり、例えばベンゼン環がつながったグラファイトなどが分散して構成されている。冷凍機油が近づくとその極性に誘起されて表面改質層で分極が起き、極性を示す。その結果、冷凍機油内の極圧添加剤が吸着されてさらに極圧層が形成されるものである。形成された極圧層により過酷な摺動条件、たとえば−10℃以下の低外気温時に半日放置した後に暖房で起動し最大能力で運転開始するような場合、摺動部の潤滑油が不足気味になるが、本実施の形態のように摺動部に充分に極圧層が形成されていることによって摺動部の異常摩耗が生じることがない。 The compressor used in the present embodiment is a general rotary compressor, in which a piston rotates eccentrically in a cylinder and sucks, compresses, and discharges refrigerant while pushing a vane tip. Therefore, a surface modification layer is formed at the tip of the vane that becomes the sliding portion. The surface modification layer at the tip of the vane has a polarity maintaining effect, and is formed by dispersing, for example, graphite having connected benzene rings. When refrigerating machine oil approaches, it is induced by its polarity and polarization occurs in the surface modification layer, indicating polarity. As a result, the extreme pressure additive in the refrigerating machine oil is adsorbed to further form an extreme pressure layer. When the extreme pressure layer formed causes severe sliding conditions, for example, when left for half a day at a low outside temperature of −10 ° C. or less and then starts up with heating and starts operating at maximum capacity, the sliding part has insufficient lubricating oil. However, since the extreme pressure layer is sufficiently formed in the sliding portion as in the present embodiment, abnormal wear of the sliding portion does not occur.
図1に示すような、冷凍機油中に硫黄系極圧添加剤を含有した冷凍サイクルにおいて、冷房運転時には、圧縮機1から吐出された高温高圧の冷媒ガスが四方弁6、室外熱交換器2を通り凝縮されて液化する。液化した冷媒は膨張機構3を通って減圧され室内熱交換器4に入る。さらに低温低圧の液冷媒は蒸発して室内空気と熱交換し、低温低圧のガス冷媒となりアキュムレータ7を通って圧縮機1に戻る。 In a refrigeration cycle containing a sulfur-based extreme pressure additive in refrigeration oil as shown in FIG. 1, during cooling operation, high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor 1 is transferred to the four-way valve 6 and the outdoor heat exchanger 2. Condensed and liquefied. The liquefied refrigerant is reduced in pressure through the expansion mechanism 3 and enters the indoor heat exchanger 4. Further, the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant evaporates and exchanges heat with room air, becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant, passes through the accumulator 7 and returns to the compressor 1.
また、暖房運転時には四方弁6で流路を逆転するため、圧縮機1を出た冷媒は四方弁6を通って室内熱交換器4で室内空気と熱交換して凝縮されて液化する。液化した冷媒は膨張機構3を通って減圧され、室外熱交換器2で蒸発して低温低圧のガスとなりアキュムレータ7を通って圧縮機1に戻る。 Further, since the flow path is reversed by the four-way valve 6 during the heating operation, the refrigerant that has exited the compressor 1 passes through the four-way valve 6 and exchanges heat with indoor air in the indoor heat exchanger 4 to be condensed and liquefied. The liquefied refrigerant is decompressed through the expansion mechanism 3, evaporated in the outdoor heat exchanger 2, becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas, returns to the compressor 1 through the accumulator 7.
冷凍装置内で圧縮機1内のモータ部分および吐出部分が最も高温になる部分であり、また摺動部はさらに高温になる。このような高温となる部分において、冷凍機油に含有されている極圧添加剤が分解して表面と反応し極圧層を生じる。 In the refrigeration apparatus, the motor portion and the discharge portion in the compressor 1 are the highest temperature portions, and the sliding portion is further heated. In such a high temperature part, the extreme pressure additive contained in the refrigerating machine oil decomposes and reacts with the surface to form an extreme pressure layer.
以上の実施の形態において、冷凍装置に封入される冷媒は、ハイドロフルオロオレフィンである、例えばテトラフルオロプロペン(HFO1234yf)を基本成分にジフルオロメタン(HFC32)とペンタフルオロエタン(HFC125)とのいずれか一方又は両方を、地球温暖化係数(GWP)が5以上で750以下、望ましくは5以上で300以下となるようにそれぞれ2成分混合もしくは3成分混合した冷媒である。または、ハイドロフルオロオレフィンの単一冷媒(GWP=4)でも良い。 In the above embodiment, the refrigerant sealed in the refrigeration apparatus is a hydrofluoroolefin, for example, tetrafluoropropene (HFO1234yf) as a basic component, either difluoromethane (HFC32) or pentafluoroethane (HFC125). Or it is the refrigerant | coolant which mixed 2 components or 3 components, respectively, so that a global warming potential (GWP) might be 5 or more and 750 or less, desirably 5 or more and 300 or less. Alternatively, a single refrigerant (GWP = 4) of hydrofluoroolefin may be used.
図2は、テトラフルオロプロペンとジフルオロメタン又はペンタフルオロエタンとの2成分を混合した冷媒の混合比率による地球温暖化係数を示した特性図である。具体的には図2に示すように、2成分混合の場合にはテトラフルオロプロペンとジフルオロメタンとを混合してGWP300以下とするためにはジフルオロメタンを44wt%以下、テトラフルオロプロペンとペンタフルオロエタンとを混合してGWP750以下とするためにはペンタフルオロエタンを21.3wt%以下、さらにGWP300以下とするためにはペンタフルオロエタンを8.4wt%以下と混合することになる。 FIG. 2 is a characteristic diagram showing a global warming potential according to a mixing ratio of a refrigerant in which two components of tetrafluoropropene and difluoromethane or pentafluoroethane are mixed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, in the case of mixing two components, in order to mix tetrafluoropropene and difluoromethane to make GWP300 or less, the content of difluoromethane is 44 wt% or less, tetrafluoropropene and pentafluoroethane. In order to make GWP750 or less by mixing the above, pentafluoroethane is 21.3 wt% or less, and in order to make GWP300 or less, pentafluoroethane is mixed with 8.4 wt% or less.
また、冷媒をテトラフルオロプロペンの単一冷媒とした時にはGWP4となり極めて良好な値を示す。しかしながら、ハイドロフルオロカーボンと混合した冷媒に比べて比容積が大きいことなどから冷凍能力が低くなるため、より大きな冷却サイクル装置が必要になる。換言すれば、炭素と炭素間に2重結合を有するハイドロフルオロオレフィンを基本成分とし、2重結合を有しないハイドロフルオロカーボンを混合した冷媒を用いれば、ハイドロフルオロオレフィンの単一冷媒と比較して冷凍能力などの所定の特性を改善して冷媒として使用しやすくすることができる。従って、封入する冷媒において、単一冷媒を含めてテトラフルオロプロペンの割合をどれほどにするかは、圧縮機を組み込む冷却サイクル装置等の目的や上述したGWPの制限などの条件に応じて適宜選択すればよい。 Also, when the refrigerant is a single refrigerant of tetrafluoropropene, it becomes GWP4 and shows a very good value. However, since the refrigerating capacity is reduced due to the large specific volume as compared with the refrigerant mixed with hydrofluorocarbon, a larger cooling cycle device is required. In other words, if a refrigerant in which a hydrofluoroolefin having a double bond between carbon and carbon is used as a basic component and a hydrofluorocarbon having no double bond is used, the refrigerant is refrigerated as compared with a single refrigerant of hydrofluoroolefin. It is possible to improve the predetermined characteristics such as capacity and make it easier to use as a refrigerant. Therefore, in the refrigerant to be sealed, the ratio of tetrafluoropropene including a single refrigerant is appropriately selected according to the purpose of the cooling cycle apparatus incorporating the compressor and the above-mentioned conditions such as the GWP restriction. That's fine.
これによって回収されない冷媒が大気に放出されても地球温暖化に対しその影響を極少に保つことができる。また前記比率で混合された混合冷媒は、非共沸混合冷媒にも関わらず温度差を小さくでき擬似共沸混合冷媒に挙動が近づくため、冷凍装置の冷却性能や冷却性能係数(COP)を改善することができる。 Even if the refrigerant | coolant which is not collect | recovered by this is discharge | released to air | atmosphere, the influence can be kept to the minimum with respect to global warming. In addition, the mixed refrigerant mixed at the above ratio can reduce the temperature difference in spite of the non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant and behaves more like a pseudo-azeotropic mixed refrigerant, improving the cooling performance and cooling performance coefficient (COP) of the refrigeration system. can do.
なお、本実施の形態では、冷暖房用のエアコンを主体とした冷凍装置として説明してきたが、開放式でない冷凍装置であればその効果は同じであり、冷凍冷蔵庫、冷凍庫、除湿機、ヒートポンプ式乾燥洗濯機、ヒートポンプ式給湯器、飲料用自動販売機等に適用できる技術であることは言うまでもない。 In this embodiment, the refrigeration apparatus mainly composed of an air conditioner for air conditioning is described. However, the effect is the same as long as the refrigeration apparatus is not an open type, and a refrigerator, a freezer, a dehumidifier, and a heat pump type dryer are used. Needless to say, this technology can be applied to washing machines, heat pump water heaters, beverage vending machines, and the like.
本発明にかかる冷凍装置は、冷凍機油中に硫黄系極圧添加剤を含有することにより圧縮機の摺動面にせん断しやすい極圧層を形成し冷凍装置の起動時など摺動面の油の少ない状況でも極圧効果を発揮することができ、圧縮機の摺動面の信頼性を確保することができるため、空調機、カーエアコン、給湯器、冷凍冷蔵庫、冷凍庫、除湿機、ヒートポンプ式乾燥洗濯機、ヒートポンプ式給湯器、飲料用自動販売機等の用途に適用できる。 The refrigerating apparatus according to the present invention includes a sulfur-based extreme pressure additive in the refrigerating machine oil to form an extreme pressure layer that easily shears on the sliding surface of the compressor, and the oil on the sliding surface such as when the refrigerating apparatus is started up. The extreme pressure effect can be exhibited even in a small amount of conditions, and the reliability of the sliding surface of the compressor can be secured, so the air conditioner, car air conditioner, hot water heater, freezer refrigerator, freezer, dehumidifier, heat pump type It can be applied to applications such as dry washing machines, heat pump water heaters, and beverage vending machines.
