<Embodiment>
<Structure>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example in which a liquefaction promoting apparatus 1 suitable for a heat pump system in a data center is used in the heat pump system. The heat pump system includes various forms such as an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a refrigerator, a water heater, a frozen warehouse, and a chiller. The present invention can be applied not only to those that consume power but also to those that use other energy such as a gas heat pump. Further, it is possible not only to newly design the heat pump system but also to additionally install it in the existing heat pump system later.

A heat pump system is a device that takes heat from a low temperature object and gives it to a high temperature object. It is used to further cool low temperature objects and to further warm high temperature objects. A device that performs both cooling and heating by switching is also a heat pump.
The fluid referred to in this specification is a fluid that circulates in a compressor, a pipe, a heat exchanger, and the like in a heat pump cycle. Includes refrigerant and refrigeration oil. The fluid takes one of a gas state, a liquid state, and a gas-liquid mixed state depending on which step in the heat pump cycle it is. From the viewpoint of global environment protection, CFCs are no longer used as refrigerants, and alternative CFCs are used.

In FIG. 1, a heat pump cycle is schematically shown by taking a general air conditioner as an example, and a device according to the present invention is shown in a sectional view so that the inside can be seen. FIG. 1A shows that the direction of the fluid flow during cooling is counterclockwise. FIG.1(b) shows that the direction of the flow of the fluid at the time of heating is clockwise.

The heat pump cycle includes four components, namely, a compression unit 83, a condensation unit (outdoor unit 84), an expansion unit 81, and an evaporation unit (indoor unit 82) in cooling. A fluid circulates in a sealed pipe connecting these components. The arrows in FIGS. 1A and 1B indicate the direction of fluid flow. The white arrows indicate the movement of heat in the condenser (the outdoor unit 84 during cooling, the indoor unit 82 during heating) and the evaporator (the indoor unit 82 during cooling, the outdoor unit 84 during heating) that are heat exchangers. Showing. Dashed arrows indicate heat transfer between indoor and outdoor areas. LT is low temperature and HT is high temperature.

In FIG. 1, the liquefaction promoting device 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center is installed on the pipe connecting the outdoor unit 84 and the expansion section 81. The liquefaction promoting apparatus 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center may be installed at any position on the piping of the heat pump cycle. The installation position in FIG. 1 is an example.

1(a) and 1(b), an upper three-way valve 42 and a lower three-way valve 43 are provided on a pipe of a heat pump cycle, and these are an upper electromagnetic valve or an upper electric valve 44, a lower electromagnetic valve or a lower electric valve, respectively. Switching is performed by the valve 45. The switching between the two valves is performed by the control device 58, and as a result, whether the fluid in the pipe passes through the bypass pipe 40, the upper pipe body 60, the inside of the cylindrical casing, or the lower pipe body 70. It is possible to choose one of the alternatives.
The three-way valve is a valve having fluid inlets and outlets in three directions. Also called a three-way valve.
The electromagnetic valve has a mechanism for opening and closing the valve (valve) by moving an iron piece called a plunger using the magnetic force of an electromagnet (solenoid). Also called a solenoid valve or solenoid valve.
The electric valve is a valve that is opened and closed by an electric motor.

An upper temperature sensor 52, an upper flow sensor 54 and/or an upper pressure sensor 56 are provided on the pipe (main pipe before branching) near the upper three-way valve 42. Further, a lower temperature sensor 53, a lower flow sensor 55 and/or a lower pressure sensor 57 are provided on the pipe (main pipe before branching) near the lower three-way valve 43.
The upper temperature sensor 52 and the lower temperature sensor 53 measure the temperature of the fluid inside the pipe and send the measurement signal to the control device 58.
The upper flow sensor 54 and the lower flow sensor 55 measure the flow rate of the fluid inside the pipe and send the measurement signal to the control device 58.
The upper pressure sensor 56 and the lower pressure sensor 57 measure the pressure of the fluid inside the pipe and send the measurement signal to the control device 58.
An outdoor unit/compression unit temperature sensor 152, an outdoor unit/compression unit flow sensor 154 and/or an outdoor unit/compression unit pressure sensor 156 are provided on the pipe between the outdoor unit 84 and the compression unit 83. .. Further, an indoor unit/compression unit temperature sensor 153, an indoor unit/compression unit flow sensor 155 and/or an indoor unit/compression unit pressure sensor 157 are provided on the pipe between the indoor unit 82 and the compression unit 83. It is provided.
The outdoor unit/compression unit temperature sensor 152 and the indoor unit/compression unit temperature sensor 153 measure the temperature of the fluid inside the pipe and send the measurement signals to the control device 58.
The outdoor unit/compression unit flow rate sensor 154 and the indoor unit/compression unit flow rate sensor 155 measure the flow rate of the fluid inside the pipe and send the measurement signals to the control device 58.
The outdoor unit/compression section pressure sensor 156 and the indoor unit/compression section pressure sensor 157 measure the pressure of the fluid in the pipe and send the measurement signals to the control device 58.
The phrase "or/and" is used herein to mean that any one of them or a combination of a plurality of any of them can be used.

Further, the compression unit 83 constituting the heat pump cycle has a motor 83a as its power source, and a power meter 83b is installed on the power line supplied to the motor 83a. The output signal of the power meter 83b is sent to the control device 58.
The control device 58 includes the upper temperature sensor 52, the lower temperature sensor 53, the upper flow sensor 54, the lower flow sensor 55, the upper pressure sensor 56, the lower pressure sensor 57, the outdoor unit/compression unit temperature sensor 152, and the indoor unit. Compressor temperature sensor 153, outdoor unit/compressor flow sensor 154, indoor unit/compressor flow sensor 155, outdoor unit/compressor pressure sensor 156, indoor unit/compressor pressure sensor 157, power meter 83b Based on the measurement signal from any of the above, or a combination thereof, the upper and lower two valves (the upper electromagnetic valve or the upper electric valve 44, the lower electromagnetic valve or the lower electric valve 45) are simultaneously controlled to control the fluid in the pipe. Switch the flow.

As a result, the fluid in the pipe passes from the upper three-way valve 42 through the upper pipe 60, the inside of the cylindrical casing, and the lower pipe 70 to the lower three-way valve 43 during the cooling shown in FIG. 1(a). Switching that selectively selects whether to pass through the route to the lower three-way valve 43 or to pass through the bypass pipe 40 from the upper three-way valve 42 is realized.
At the time of heating shown in FIG. 1(b), the lower three-way valve 43 passes through the lower pipe 70, the inside of the cylindrical casing, the upper pipe 60, and the upper three-way valve, or the lower three-way valve. A switch for selectively selecting a path from 43 to the upper three-way valve 42 through the bypass pipe 40 is realized.

As a control method for simultaneously controlling the upper electromagnetic valve or the upper electric valve 44 and the lower electromagnetic valve or the lower electric valve 45 by the control device 58, as described above, the temperature sensor, the flow rate sensor, the pressure sensor, and the measurement signal of the power meter are used. In addition to the control method of monitoring and controlling based on the change, it is also possible to perform planned control.
For example, when the liquefaction promoting apparatus 1 suitable for the heat pump system of this data center is first installed, the bypass pipe 40 is passed through for a predetermined period (one day, one week, one month, etc.). After that, the upper tube body 60 and the lower tube body 70 are passed through for the next predetermined period (similarly, one day, one week, one month, etc.). Then, during these operations, it is possible to analyze the measurement signal of the power meter 83b and compare how different the power consumption is in the two cases.

When the heat pump system is a gas heat pump (where the power of the compressor is a gas engine), the same energy consumption can be obtained by installing a flow meter for fuel gas supplied to the gas engine instead of the power meter 83b. Can be measured.

≪Indoor cooling cycle≫
In the indoor cooling cycle of FIG. 1A, the compression unit 83 includes a compressor for compressing a low-pressure gas refrigerant in the closed container. An oil reservoir (bottom portion in the figure) for storing refrigerating machine oil (compressor oil) is usually provided in a closed container containing a compressor. The gas refrigerant is compressed into high-pressure and higher-temperature gas. This gaseous refrigerant is mixed with refrigerating machine oil and then discharged from the compression section 83 to the condensation section (outdoor unit 84). The condenser includes a condenser. During cooling, the outdoor unit 84 performs heat exchange as a condenser. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas fluid that has flowed into the condensing unit is condensed by releasing heat to the outside to become a low-temperature liquid fluid. This liquid fluid is ideally a liquid refrigerant in which refrigerating machine oil is dissolved (or uniformly mixed).

However, when the refrigerant changes from a gas to a liquid in the condensing unit (the outdoor unit 84), a part of the refrigerating machine oil may be separated without being dissolved (uniformly mixed) in the refrigerant. Moreover, the oil phase of the frozen refrigerating machine oil may trap the liquid refrigerant. Further, the refrigerant that has almost passed through the condenser (the outdoor unit 84) may remain as a high temperature gas. Due to such a phenomenon, the liquid fluid flowing out from the condensing unit (the outdoor unit 84) may include the separated refrigerating machine oil, the liquid refrigerant and/or the gas refrigerant trapped in the oil phase of the refrigerating machine oil.

The separated refrigerating machine oil is said to reduce the efficiency of heat exchange because it stays in various places of the heat exchanger during heat exchange in the condensing part (the outdoor unit 84). Using the liquefaction promoting device 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center according to the present invention, the upper pipe 60, the inside of the cylindrical casing, and the lower pipe 70 are passed between the upper three-way valve 42 and the lower three-way valve 43. When controlling so that the fluid passes through the cylindrical casing, the refrigerating machine oil and the refrigerant are mixed in a finely divided state by a shearing effect as described later, so that the fluid is repeatedly used in the heat pump. By circulating the inside, the refrigerating machine oil does not stay in the heat exchanger, and the effect of improving the efficiency of heat exchange is expected.

At the time of indoor cooling shown in FIG. 1A, the liquefaction promoting device 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention is inserted between the condensing part (the outdoor unit 84) and the expanding part 81. The upper pipe body 60 of the liquefaction promoting apparatus 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center is connected to the outlet side of the condensing section which is the outdoor unit 84, and the lower tube body 70 of the liquefaction promoting apparatus 1 is connected to the inlet side of the expansion section 81. It is connected. When the fluid flowing out from the condensing unit 84 is guided to the upper pipe body 60 by the upper three-way valve 42, the fluid is sufficiently sheared inside the cylindrical casing and mixed. As a result, the separated refrigerating machine oil is in a state of being uniformly mixed with the liquid refrigerant, the liquid solvent trapped in the oil phase of the refrigerating machine oil is released, and the temperature of the remaining gas refrigerant drops to become the liquid refrigerant. After that, the fluid flowing out from the liquefaction promoting device 1 is sent to the expansion section 81.

The expansion section 81 includes an expansion valve, a capillary tube, or the like. The low-temperature and high-pressure liquid fluid becomes a low-pressure and further low-temperature liquid by passing through a thin hole or a pipe. Then, this fluid is sent to the evaporator (indoor unit 82). The evaporation unit includes an evaporator. During the indoor cooling shown in FIG. 1A, the indoor unit 82 performs heat exchange as an evaporator. The low-temperature low-pressure liquid fluid that has flowed into the evaporation portion absorbs heat from the outside and evaporates to become a high-temperature gas fluid. As a result, the air in the room is cooled. Then, the gaseous fluid is returned to the compression unit 83.

Even when heat is exchanged in the indoor unit 82 (evaporating section), the refrigerating machine oil and the refrigerant are mixed in a finely divided state due to the shearing effect as described above, so that the efficiency of heat exchange is improved. There is expected.

In the indoor heating cycle shown in FIG. 1B, the fluid circulation direction is opposite to that in the cooling operation shown in FIG. A well-known valve (for example, a four-way valve) is used to switch the circulation direction of the fluid in the heat pump system (illustration and description are omitted). During heating, the high-temperature high-pressure gaseous fluid discharged from the compression unit 83 is sent to the indoor unit 82 that performs heat exchange as a condensation unit. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas fluid that has flowed into the condensing unit (indoor unit 82) is condensed by releasing heat to a low-temperature liquid fluid. This warms the indoor air.

Here, when the refrigerant changes from a gas to a liquid in the condensing unit (indoor unit 82), the liquid fluid flowing out from the condensing unit is a separated refrigerating machine oil or refrigerating machine oil, as in the cooling cycle of FIG. May contain liquid and/or gas refrigerant trapped in the oil phase. At the time of heating, the liquid fluid flowing out from the condensing unit (indoor unit 82) is further sent to the expanding unit 81, and becomes a liquid of low pressure and further low temperature. Even after passing through the expansion section 81, the separated refrigerating machine oil, the captured liquid refrigerant and/or the gas refrigerant may remain.
If the refrigerating machine oil and the refrigerant are mixed in a finely divided state due to the shear effect as described above, it is expected that the efficiency of heat exchange will be improved.

During room heating shown in FIG. 1B, the liquefaction promoting device 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention is installed between the expansion section 81 and the evaporation section (outdoor unit 84). The lower tube 70 of the liquefaction promoting device 1 is connected to the outlet side of the expansion section 81, and the upper tube 60 of the liquefaction promoting apparatus 1 is connected to the inlet side of the evaporation section which is the outdoor unit 84. The fluid flowing out from the expansion section 81 is sufficiently uniformly mixed in the liquefaction promoting device 1. The separated refrigerating machine oil becomes in a state of being uniformly mixed with the liquid refrigerant, the liquid solvent trapped in the oil phase of the refrigerating machine oil is released, and the temperature of the remaining gas refrigerant drops to become the liquid refrigerant. After that, the fluid flowing out from the liquefaction promoting device 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center is sent to the evaporation section (the outdoor unit 84).

During room heating shown in FIG. 1B, the outdoor unit 84 performs heat exchange as an evaporation unit. The low-temperature low-pressure liquid fluid that has flowed into the evaporation portion absorbs heat from the outside and evaporates to become a high-temperature gas fluid. Then, the gaseous fluid is returned to the compression unit 83. When the refrigerating machine oil and the refrigerant are mixed in a finely divided state due to the shearing effect as described above, it is expected that the efficiency of heat exchange will be improved even in the heat exchange in the outdoor unit during heating.

As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the liquefaction promoting apparatus 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention is to be inserted on the route of the pipes constituting the heat pump system. Since the actual pipe is formed by connecting a plurality of pipe members, the liquefaction promoting device 1 can be easily attached by, for example, removing one pipe member and exchanging and connecting the liquefaction promoting device 1 of the present invention. be able to. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, for example, it can be installed in an outdoor pipe near the outdoor unit. At this time, the pipe is made so as to draw a smooth curve of an appropriate size so that the fluid in the pipe can move smoothly.

1A and 1B described above show an example in which the liquefaction promoting device 1 of the present invention is applied to the basic form of the heat pump system. There are many applications for actual heat pump systems. The liquefaction promoting device 1 of the present invention is also applicable to a heat pump system in which various components are added to the basic form. For example, even in a system including a gas-liquid separator that separates a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, the liquefaction promoting device 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention can be used together. Further, for example, also in a system in which an ejector and a gas-liquid separator are provided instead of the expansion section, the liquefaction promoting device 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention can be used together.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a cylindrical casing part of a liquefaction promoting device suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention. In addition, FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an appearance of a cylindrical casing portion of the liquefaction promoting device suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention. The cylindrical housing portion of the liquefaction promoting device 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center has a housing 10. The housing 10 includes a cylindrical body 11 having a vertical center axis, a hemispherical upper end plate 12 that closes the upper end of the body, and a hemispherical lower end plate 13 that closes the lower end of the body. It is equipped with. Here, the liquefaction promoting apparatus suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention passes the fluid containing the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil at a pressure of about 0.2 to 10 megapascals. It must have a structure that can withstand. Since the fluid in the liquefaction promoting device suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention is the pressure fluid discharged at a predetermined pressure from the compressor, it can be said that the housing 10 is also a pressure vessel. The "end plate" in a pressure vessel generally means a hemispherical lid member that closes the upper and lower ends of a cylindrical pressure vessel. The cross sections of the upper end plate 12 and the lower end plate 13 shown in FIG. 3 are semicircles with a central angle of 180 degrees, and the radius thereof is equal to the radius of the cylindrical body portion 11.

Two tubes, an upper tube 60 and a lower tube 70, are provided for inflow and outflow of the fluid to and from the housing 10. FIG. 3D shows the external appearance of the liquefaction promoting device 1 as viewed from the side. It is shown that the upper tube body 60 is provided through the upper mirror plate 12, and the lower tube body 70 is provided through the lower mirror plate 13. When inserting the liquefaction promoting apparatus 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center into the pipe path of the heat pump system, one of the two pipes of the upper pipe body 60 and the lower pipe body 70 is inserted at the insertion position. And the other pipe body is connected to the other pipe end. As described above with reference to FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the directions of the circulation of the fluid are opposite during cooling and during heating. Therefore, the inlet of the liquefaction promoting apparatus 1 suitable for the heat pump system of the data center during cooling serves as an outlet during heating, and the outlet during cooling serves as an inlet during heating. The effect of the liquefaction promoting device suitable for the heat pump system in the data center was verified even during heating in which the circulation direction was reversed. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the attachment state of the liquefaction promoting device suitable for the heat pump system of the data center of the present invention even if the air conditioner is switched between cooling and heating.

The upper pipe body 60 serves as an inflow port during cooling and serves as an outflow port during heating. Although illustration of the upper portion of the upper pipe body 60 is omitted in FIG. 3, it can be connected to an appropriate pipe of the heat pump system. Although the installation state of the liquefaction promoting device 1 is not changed during cooling and heating, the circulation direction of the fluid is opposite, and therefore the upper pipe body 60 has a condensing portion (outdoor) during cooling shown in FIG. 2) and is connected to the inlet side of the evaporator (outdoor unit) during heating shown in FIG.

The upper tube body 60 vertically penetrates the upper end plate 12 at a position away from the central axis. The upper tube body 60 extends downward in the housing 10 to the vicinity of the upper end of the body portion 11, and the lower end 60a thereof opens downward. As shown in FIG. 2, the edge of the opening of the lower end 60a of the upper tubular body 60 is preferably inclined so that the central axis side is low and the peripheral edge side is high. This inclination forms a good flow of the fluid including the refrigerating machine oil and the refrigerant, and causes the large-diameter spiral spring 20 and the small-diameter spiral spring 30, that is, the large and small springs to oscillate and vibrate, and to be sheared It is for mixing fluids, and for promoting liquefaction.

The lower pipe 70 serves as an outlet during cooling and serves as an inlet during heating. 2 and 3, the lower portion of the lower pipe body 70 is not shown, but it can be connected to an appropriate pipe of the heat pump system. The lower tube body 70 vertically penetrates the lower end plate 13 on the central axis. The lower tubular body 70 extends upward along the central axis in the housing 10 to the vicinity of the upper end of the body portion 11, and the upper end 70a thereof is open upward.

Further, a large diameter spiral spring 20 is installed in the vicinity of the inner wall 1 mm to 10 mm away from the inner wall of the body portion 11. The central axis of the large-diameter spiral spring 20 is provided so as to coincide with the central axis of the body portion 11. The large-diameter spiral spring 20 is attached to the inner wall of the body portion 11 (for example, by welding) at four positions of the spring mounting portions 21, 22, 23, and 24, that is, only at the upper end and the lower end of the large-diameter spiral spring 20. The fixed and non-fixed intermediate portion can swing and vibrate (vertical movement). Here, swinging means moving in a direction perpendicular to the direction of expansion and contraction of the spring. An embodiment in which the upper end portion and the lower end portion are attached at two locations, three locations, and four locations is also possible.
As will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4, the large-diameter spiral spring 20 is a spiral spring having an unequal pitch in which a pitch near a spring mounting portion is narrow and a pitch in an unfixed intermediate portion is wide. That is, it is preferable that wide→narrow→wide as shown in FIG. 8(a) or narrow→wide→narrow as shown in FIG. 8(b).

The components of the liquefaction promoting device of the present invention, that is, the materials of the casing 10, the upper pipe body 60, the lower pipe body 70, the large-diameter spiral spring 20, and the small-diameter spiral spring 30, can be used for piping of a heat pump system. Any material may be used as long as it is not particularly limited, but an appropriate material can be used for the pressure vessel. For example, it is made of steel.
The small-diameter spiral spring 30 is fixed to the outer wall of the lower tubular body 70 (for example, by welding) at four positions of the mounting portions 31, 32, 33, 34, that is, only at the upper end and the lower end of the small-diameter spiral spring 30. Therefore, the intermediate portion which is not fixed can swing and vibrate (movement up and down). An embodiment in which the upper end portion and the lower end portion are attached at two locations, three locations, and four locations is also possible. The small-diameter spiral spring 30 is preferably a spiral spring having an unequal pitch in which the pitch near the spring mounting portion is narrow and the pitch in the middle portion which is not fixed is wide.

FIG. 4A is a plan view of the large-diameter spiral spring 20 shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4B is a sectional view taken along line DD of FIG. 4A. The large diameter spiral spring 20 is an unequal pitch spiral spring. The pitch gradually increases from the end to the middle. Now, the length direction of the expansion/contraction direction of the spiral spring having a large diameter will be described by dividing it into nine regions p1, p2, p3,..., P9. The pitch is considered to be the length of the gap formed between the winding that constitutes the large-diameter spiral spring and the adjacent winding. P1 and p9 have a pitch of 0.8 mm, and p2 and p8 have a pitch of 1.2 mm. The pitch of p3 and p7 can be 1.6 mm, the pitch of p4 and p6 can be 2.0 mm, and the pitch of p5 can be 2.5 mm. The pitch size is vertically symmetrical. That is, if the pitch of p1 is represented by p1, the pitch of p2 is represented by p2,... , P2=p8, p3=p7, p4=p6.

The pitch in each of the plurality of regions (p1, p2, p3,...) Is constant, and the pitch of each region has a relationship of p1<p2<p3<... The intervals between adjacent windings of each spiral spring may be gradually changed.

When the fluid containing the refrigerating machine oil and the refrigerant flows into the liquefaction promoting device 1, the large-diameter spiral spring 20 oscillates and vibrates, thereby exerting a shearing effect on the fluid. Further, the surface of the spiral spring has various surfaces, and even if the surface has irregularities, a shearing effect on the fluid is exerted by itself. As a result, the fluid is made finer and uniform, and liquefaction is promoted. The large-diameter spiral spring 20 is provided 1 mm to 10 mm away from the inner wall of the body 11 of the housing 10. The upper and lower ends thereof are only fixed to the housing 10, and the other parts can freely swing and vibrate.

The small-diameter spiral spring 30 shown in FIG. 2 is also preferably an unequal pitch spiral spring. Similar to the large-diameter spiral spring 20, the pitch can be wide→narrow→wide or narrow→wide→narrow from the top.
The upper end of the small-diameter spiral spring 30 is fixed to the upper end of the lower tubular body 70, and the lower end of the small-diameter spiral spring 30 is fixed to the outer wall of the lower tubular body 70. The fixing method is, for example, welding.
The small diameter spiral spring 30 is positioned so as to surround the lower tubular body 70. Therefore, it is possible to swing and vibrate in the region of 1 mm to 30 mm around the lower tubular body 70. The upper end 70a of the lower tubular body 70 can be formed, for example, in the form of a collar (a flange, a flange). Then, the flange-shaped portions can be used as the spring attachment portions 31 and 32. As a fixing means, welding at a plurality of places, for example, four places can be used. By attaching the small-diameter spring 30 to the flange-shaped portion, it is possible to cause the small-diameter spring 30 to oscillate and vibrate in a region 1 mm to 30 mm away from the outer wall of the lower tubular body 70.

<Operation when fluid flows in from the upper tube 60>
When a fluid flows in from above through the upper tube body 60 that is open at a position away from the central axis of the housing 10, the following fluid flow occurs. The fluid that has flowed in goes straight downward, and is then turned upward (U-turn) by the lower end plate 13. This is realized when the lower end plate 13 has a hemispherical shape. The diverted fluid goes straight upward, and then is diverted downward (U-turn) by the upper end plate 12. This is realized because the upper end plate 12 has a hemispherical shape. As a result, a strong vertical flow is formed, and as a result, the fluid is largely stirred throughout the inner space of the housing 10. Further, since the edge of the opening of the upper tubular body 60 located away from the central axis of the housing 10 is inclined so that the central axis side is low and the peripheral edge side is high, a flow that goes straight downward is formed. It will be easier. As a result, a vertical flow is smoothly generated. The upper and lower fluid flows cause the large-diameter spiral spring 20 and the small-diameter spiral spring 30 to swing and vibrate. Then, the fluid collides with the windings of the large-diameter spiral spring 20 and the small-diameter spiral spring, and the synergistic effect of the swing and vibration of the two spiral springs realizes effective fluid agitation. The fluid, after being sufficiently agitated, flows out downward through the lower tubular body 70.

<Operation when fluid flows in from the lower tubular body 70>
When a fluid flows in from below through the lower tubular body 70 located on the central axis of the housing 10, the following fluid flow occurs. The fluid discharged from the opening of the upper end 70a of the lower tubular body 70 goes straight up and is then turned downward (U-turn) by the upper end plate 12. This is realized because the upper end plate 12 has a hemispherical shape. Furthermore, the fluid that has gone straight downward is turned upward (U-turn) by the lower end plate 13. This is realized when the lower end plate 13 has a hemispherical shape. As a result, a strong vertical fluid flow is formed. As a result, the fluid is largely stirred throughout the inner space of the housing 10. Further, the fluid flow in the vertical direction collides with the upper pipe body 60 and the lower pipe body 70 located on the central axis at a position away from the central axis when changing the direction in the upper portion of the housing 10, It branches into two and each produces a flow. Multiple streams are sequentially formed around the upper tube 60 and the lower tube 70. Further, a large-diameter spiral spring having a winding capable of swinging and vibrating due to friction and collision with the large-diameter spiral spring 20 provided on the inner surface of the body portion 11 and friction and collision with the small-diameter spiral spring. 20 and the small-diameter spiral spring 30 respectively oscillate and vibrate locally where they are subjected to friction or collision. In addition to rocking and vibration, the large-diameter spiral spring 20 and the small-diameter spiral spring each have a large number of uneven shapes, which exert a shearing force on the fluid. As a result, the fluid is made fine and uniform. The liquefaction promoting device 1 of the present invention realizes effective fluid agitation. The fluid is sufficiently stirred and then flows upward through the upper tube body 60.

<Action/mechanism>
It is considered that the action and mechanism can be explained by the overtone resonance (scaling resonance) of the sound.
When a fluid of several megapascals flows into the liquefaction promoting device according to the present invention, a shock is applied to the spring. The impact causes the spring to vibrate and swing. The transmission of the vibration and the oscillation causes a sound (including not only the sound in the audible range but also a lower sound or a higher sound). Since the inflow of fluid is continuous, this sound also continues to be produced.
On the other hand, when the refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil are mixed with each other, a sound is generated when the molecular clusters collide with each other. These two sounds can be in a harmonic (harmonic) relationship. Harmonics (harmonics) of the sound generated by the vibrations and oscillations of the springs cause harmonic resonance (scaling resonance) due to the collision of clusters of molecules of the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil. As a result, the fluid is mixed and stirred, and the liquefaction is accelerated.
Here, the scaling resonance is a phenomenon in which harmonics (overtones) above several tens of octaves resonate. This is the concept used in "The Music of Protein" (Yoichi Fukagawa, Chikuma Primer Books).
Although resonance and resonance are similar concepts, they will be considered separately in this specification. For example, when two strings fixed to the same wooden frame (solid) vibrate one, the other also vibrates. In this case, the vibration is transmitted through a solid body called a wooden frame, which is a resonance. On the other hand, it is the resonance that causes the sound to be transmitted by water (air) or the like (fluid) and vibrate as a result.
In the case of the liquefaction promoting device according to the present invention, vibrations from the spring to the refrigerant molecules and the refrigerating machine oil molecules are caused by the fluid. Therefore, it should be called resonance. Therefore, it is considered that the overtone resonance or the scaling resonance of the sound is functioning.
In the liquefaction promoting device according to the present invention, focusing on the macro behavior of the fluid, the fluid exerts an impact on the spring due to its high pressure to vibrate/swing the spring. On the other hand, focusing on the microscopic behavior of fluids, the clusters of refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil (lumps of several molecules stuck together) contained in the fluid are forced to reduce the size of the clusters by overtone resonance or scaling resonance. Receive. As a result, due to the shearing effect, the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil make their clusters smaller and uniformly mix.

<Effect>
A fluid containing a refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil is passed through the liquefaction promoting device according to the present invention at a pressure of 0.2 MPa to 10 MPa. As a result, the spring included in the liquefaction promoting device according to the present invention receives an impact and vibrates and rocks. This vibration and wobbling causes waves of various frequencies. A wave that is rich in many harmonics is generated. If this wave is regarded as a sound wave, many harmonics can be regarded as many harmonics. These harmonics (harmonics) act on the clusters of the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil at the molecular level to bring about a shearing effect that reduces the size of the lump. At this time, the phenomenon of resonance due to harmonics or resonance due to overtones is considered to occur. That is, in response to vibration and oscillation in the spring, resonance due to harmonics at the molecular level or resonance due to overtones also continuously occur. As a result, the shearing effect is evenly distributed and the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil are entirely distributed.
In this way, the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil are uniformly mixed.
Due to the shearing effect of the liquefaction promoting device, the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil are uniformly mixed. Then, the heat exchange efficiency of the CFC substitute can be improved. The liquefaction promoting device of the present invention can exert effects regardless of the types of refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil used in the heat pump cycle. In particular, by applying it to an alternative CFC which is less compatible with refrigerating machine oil than a specific CFC, the heat exchange efficiency of the alternative CFC can be significantly improved.

<Power reduction, energy reduction>
The apparatus of the present invention is a heat pump for exchanging heat, such as a heat pump that uses electricity as energy, a heat pump that uses gas as energy (using an engine that uses gas as fuel instead of the motor in FIG. 1), It can be widely used in heat pumps that circulate a refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil, and has an energy saving effect.

FIG. 17 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the control unit 58 shown in FIG. The controller 58 includes temperature sensors 52, 53, 152, 153, flow rate sensors 54, 55, 154, 155, pressure sensors 56, 57, 156, 157, a power meter 83b, and an outside air temperature sensor on the bus of the microprocessor 58a. 51, an electromagnetic valve or electric valve drive circuit 44a, 45a, a storage circuit 58b, and a communication circuit 58c are connected.

The temperature sensors 52, 53, 152, 153 are the upper temperature sensor 52, the lower temperature sensor 53, the outdoor unit/compression unit temperature sensor 152, and the indoor unit/compression unit temperature sensor 153 shown in FIG. 1.
The flow rate sensors 54, 55, 154, 155 are the upper flow rate sensor 54, the lower flow rate sensor 55, the outdoor unit/compression unit temperature sensor 152, and the indoor unit/compression unit temperature sensor 153 shown in FIG. 1.

It can be configured to deliver to 58a.
The electromagnetic valve or electric valve drive circuits 44a and 45a generate drive signals for driving the upper electromagnetic valve or the electric valve 42, the lower electromagnetic valve or the electric valve 43 based on a command from the microprocessor 58a, and cause the valve to operate.

The microprocessor 58a also has a function of communicating with an external device (for example, a terminal device of a manager of the heat pump system).

≪Installation effect confirmation process≫
The installation effect confirmation process whose flowchart is shown in FIG. 18 is a process for confirming the effect after before when installing the liquefaction promoting apparatus suitable for the heat pump system of the data center according to the present invention. It is the microprocessor 58a that executes this processing.
When installing the liquefaction promoting device suitable for the heat pump system of the data center according to the present invention in the existing heat pump system, the operation of the heat pump system is once stopped and the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil inside the pipe are drained. Then, the liquefaction promoting apparatus suitable for the heat pump system of the data center according to the present invention is installed on the way of the piping of the heat pump system (for example, near the outdoor unit). Then, the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil are filled. Thus, when the operation of the heat pump system is ready to be restarted, the installation effect confirmation processing program shown in FIG. 18 is executed. This program starts when the microprocessor 58a reads and executes the program file stored in the storage circuit 58b in advance.

At the time of starting the program, for example, the microprocessor 58a may display a menu display on a liquid crystal display device (not shown), and the operator may start the program by operating the menu.
Also, an external device (for example, a terminal device of the operator of the heat pump system) may access the microprocessor 58a by communication (wireless communication, PHS communication, Internet communication, etc.) to select and execute the program. You may

When the installation effect confirmation process shown in FIG. 18 starts, first, whether the bypass pipe 40 is effective, that is, the operation of the upper electromagnetic valve or the electric valve 42, the lower electromagnetic valve or the electric valve 43, the piping of the heat pump system is performed. It is determined whether or not the fluid in which the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil circulating inside pass through the bypass 40 (step 1801).
Actually, the electromagnetic valve or electric valve drive circuits 44a and 45a have information describing the states of the upper electromagnetic valve or electric valve 42 and the lower electromagnetic valve or electric valve 43, respectively, and the microprocessor for the information. Access by 58a allows the determination of step 1801 to be made.

If the bypass 40 is in a functioning state, YES is determined in step 1801 and the process proceeds to step 1803. If the bypass 40 is not functioning, the process of switching to the bypass pipe is performed (step 1802), and then the process proceeds to step 1803.
Here, in the process of switching to the bypass pipe, in response to the microprocessor 58a sending a command, the electromagnetic valve or electric valve drive circuits 44a, 45a generate drive signals, and the upper electromagnetic valve or electric valve 42, the lower electromagnetic valve 42, It is realized by operating each valve based on sending to the valve or the electric valve 43.

In step 1803, the microprocessor 58a outputs an "operation enable signal" indicating that the heat pump system can be operated to the outside. The output to the outside is sent to the external device, that is, the terminal device of the operator of the heat pump system by the communication circuit 58c. The operator of the heat pump system receiving this signal restarts the operation of the heat pump system. In this state, the fluid in which the refrigerant circulating in the heat pump system and the refrigerating machine oil are mixed passes through the bypass pipe 40 and therefore does not pass through the cylindrical casing. Therefore, the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil circulate without being mixed or sheared.

In this state, the output of each sensor (temperature sensor, flow rate sensor, pressure sensor, wattmeter) is recorded and analyzed by the microprocessor 58a, and the result is stored in the memory circuit 58b (step 1804). For example, the data can be measured and saved every 6 seconds. The accumulated measurement signal data may be output to an external device at a certain time so that the data does not exceed the storage capacity of the storage circuit 58b.
Steps 1804 and 1805 are repeatedly executed until recording of a measurement signal and analysis are repeated until a predetermined time elapses, for example, one day, one week, one month, or the like.

When a predetermined time has elapsed (YES in step 1805), the valve is switched to switch the flow to the upper tube body and the lower tube body (step 1806). The switching of the valves is performed by the drive circuit generating a drive signal according to a command sent from the microprocessor 58a to the electromagnetic valve or electric valve drive circuits 44a and 45a and sending a signal to the respective electromagnetic valve or electric valve. It As a result, the mixed fluid of the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil circulating in the heat pump pipe repeatedly passes through the upper pipe body 60, the inside of the cylindrical casing, and the lower pipe body 70, is mixed and sheared, and is mixed in the heat pump system. This brings effects such as increasing heat exchange efficiency in the heat exchanger.

By steps 1807 and 1808, the output of each sensor (temperature sensor, flow rate sensor, pressure sensor, wattmeter) is set to a micro level until a predetermined time (one day, one week, one month, etc.) has passed. The processor 58a records and analyzes the result, and stores the result in the memory circuit 58b (step 1807). For example, the data may be saved every 6 seconds. The accumulated measurement signal data may be output to an external device at a certain time so that the data does not exceed the storage capacity of the storage circuit 58b.

When a predetermined time has passed (YES in step 1808), the recording/analysis result is output to the external device (step 1809). For example, when the terminal device of the operator of the heat pump system receives the recording/analysis result, the operator compares the data of the present invention by comparing the outside air temperature and the electric power consumption under similar conditions. It is possible to confirm the effect of installing a liquefaction promoting device suitable for the center heat pump system.

<<Evacuation process>>
The emergency evacuation process whose flowchart is shown in FIG. 19 monitors the output of each sensor and switches to the bypass pipe 40 accordingly. Performing this process as a normal process in case of an emergency that may occur should be suitable as a liquefaction promoting device suitable for a heat pump system of a data center. This is because the data center handles a large amount of important data of customers, and if important data is lost, a great deal of damage will occur.

This emergency evacuation process is included in this process when the heat pump system is shearing and mixing the mixed fluid using the upper tubular body 60, the inside of the cylindrical casing, and the lower tubular body 70.
First, the valve position is confirmed (step 1901). This can be done by the microprocessor 58a querying the solenoid valve or motorized valve drive circuits 44a, 45a for valve status.
If it is normal, that is, if the mixed fluid flows in the upper tube, the inside of the cylindrical casing, and the lower tube, the process proceeds to step 1904. If not normal, the valve position is corrected (step 1903) and the process proceeds to step 1904. Modification of the valve position is done by the microprocessor 58a issuing a command to the electromagnetic valve or electric valve drive circuits 44a, 45a, which drive circuit generates a drive signal and sends the signal to each valve. It

In step 1904, the output of each sensor (temperature sensor, flow rate sensor, pressure sensor, wattmeter) is measured, for example, every 6 seconds, the microprocessor 58a records and analyzes it, and the result is stored in the memory circuit 58b. (Step 1904). The microprocessor 58a analyzes the measurement data and monitors the occurrence of abnormality. For example, assuming changes in the flow rate and pressure that may occur if the spring inside the cylindrical housing, the upper tube, or the lower tube is damaged, continue monitoring in preparation for such a situation. Is possible.
While no abnormality is recognized, it is determined as NO in Step 1905, and Steps 1904 and 1905 are repeatedly executed.

If there is any doubt that an abnormality has occurred (YES in step 1905), the bypass pipe is switched to (step 1906). This switching is performed by the microprocessor 58a issuing a command to the electromagnetic valve or electric valve drive circuits 44a and 45a.
After the valves are switched, a report is output (step 1907), and this processing ends. The output of this report informs the terminal equipment of the operator of the heat pump system to that effect, and the operator recognizes that the operation of the heat pump system has been switched to the operation without fluid shearing or mixing. This is because.
Even after this switching, the heat pump system can continue to operate without stopping.

≪Part replacement process≫
The component replacement process shown in FIG. 20 is a process performed when it is necessary to replace a part of the cylindrical housing. This replacement of parts is not limited to the case where the parts are supposed to be broken, but also when a predetermined product life of, for example, 3 years has come, or when new technology has been developed for the cylindrical housing part. It is possible to replace it with a new one.
First, it is determined whether or not the bypass is currently used (step 2001). If the bypass is used, the process proceeds to step 2003. If the bypass is not used, the microprocessor 58a switches to the bypass tube (step 2002) and proceeds to step 2003.

In step 2003, the microprocessor 58a outputs a replaceable signal to the external device. As a result, the heat pump system operator (maintenance company) carries out the work of replacing the portion of the cylindrical casing. Then, when the work is completed, the heat pump system operator (maintenance company) informs the microprocessor 58a to that effect by using an external device. After outputting the signal indicating that replacement is possible in step 2003, the microprocessor 58a continues to wait for notification from the external device that "replacement is completed" (NO in step 2004).
When the notification of "replacement completed" is received from the external device, valve switching is executed (step 2005). As a result, the operation of the heat pump system in a state where the mixed fluid in the heat pump system is sheared and mixed by using the replaced component (cylindrical housing) is restarted. The operation of the heat pump system itself is not stopped during the replacement.
When the operation using the new part is restarted, the process of recording/analyzing the output of each sensor (step 2006) and the process of outputting the report to the external device (step 2007) are performed, and the part replacement process is ended.

≪Modified example of emergency evacuation≫
In the above-mentioned emergency evacuation process, switching to the bypass pipe in the event of an abnormality is executed by the microprocessor 58a in accordance with a pre-assembled program. However, it may be difficult to make a judgment with a pre-programmed program. Therefore, when it seems that there is an abnormality, a report is output to an external device, and at that time, an expert such as a maintenance company examines the measured data before and after that in detail, makes a determination, and uses a communication circuit. Valve switching may be performed by instructing the microprocessor 58a.
In other words, it enables remote control. Alternatively, the measurement data may be requested from the external device side when necessary, and the microprocessor 58a may output the measurement data in response to the request.

<<How much is included in one case>>

Is. In particular, the power meter 83b can be provided by passing the power line supplied to the motor 83a near the control unit 58.
When the power meter 83b is installed apart from the control unit 58, the control unit 58 can acquire the measurement signal by performing wireless communication or the like between the power meter 83b and the control unit 58.
