FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of an instantaneous energy conversion device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a speed-heat converter included in the instantaneous energy conversion device shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a groove structure in a case where a spiral tube which is a main part of the speed-heat converter shown in FIG. 2 is a straight tube.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration of an instantaneous energy conversion device according to a preferred embodiment. The instantaneous energy conversion device 1 according to the present embodiment is used as a heating / cooling system, and compresses a heat medium (refrigerant), a heat exchanger 50, a speed-heat converter 20, a spiral tube 70, Is provided. The heat medium used in the instantaneous energy conversion device 1 is not particularly limited, and for example, HFC-134a, R-1234yf, etc. can be used, but the ozone destruction coefficient and the global warming coefficient are low and are environmentally friendly. Therefore, it is particularly preferable to use R-1234yf.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the speed-heat converter 20 is connected to one end of the spiral thick tube 23 that liquefies the heating medium by vertically vibrating and rotating the molecules of the heating medium, and is liquefied. A helical tube 22 for laterally rotating a molecule of a heat medium (hereinafter also referred to as a “liquid heat medium”) to supercool the liquid heat medium at an intermediate pressure; And a helical thin tube 21 for causing the liquid heat medium to expand under reduced pressure by spin vibration rotation. In other words, different rotational vibrations are caused in the heat medium in the spiral spiral tube 23, spiral spiral tube 22, and spiral spiral tube 21, respectively. Among these three tubes 21, 22, and 23, the helical tube 22 is a shape tube, and has physical characteristics such that the inside is deformed by the heat of the heat medium and the shape is restored when the heat is removed.

  Further, the spiral large tube 23 and the spiral tube 22 are connected by a relay tube 24, and the spiral tube 22 and the spiral thin tube 21 are connected by a relay tube 25. That is, the helical thick tube 23, the helical tube 22 and the helical thin tube 21 are connected in series in this order. In the configuration shown in the figure, two series pipes 200 each formed by joining the spiral thick pipe 23, the spiral pipe 22, and the spiral thin pipe 21 with the relay pipes 24, 25 are provided in parallel. However, the number of the series tubes 200 is not particularly limited, and may be one, or three or more may be provided in parallel. The number of series pipes 200 can be set according to, for example, the capacity of the heat medium (heating and cooling capacity).

  A collecting pipe 26 for connecting the plurality of spiral thin tubes 21 is connected to an end of each series pipe 200 on the side of the spiral thin tube 21. A collecting pipe 27 for connecting the plurality of spiral thick pipes 23 is connected to an end of each series pipe 200 on the side of the spiral thick pipe 23. The collecting pipe 26 functions as a buffer for introducing the heat medium introduced from the heat exchanger 50 into the spiral thin tube 21 without stagnation, and the collecting pipe 27 converts the heat medium introduced from the spiral tube 70 into a spiral thick pipe. It functions as a buffer for introducing into the pipe 23 without stagnation.

  The inner diameter of the helical thin tube 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the helical thick tube 23. The inner diameter of the helical thin tube 21 may be smaller than the inner diameter of the helical thick tube 23, and can be appropriately set depending on the capacity of the heat medium, for example, about 1 to 5 mm. Similarly, the inner diameter of the spiral thick tube 23 may be any diameter as long as it is larger than the inner diameter of the spiral thin tube 21, and can be appropriately set according to the capacity of the heat medium, for example, about 2 to 10 mm. .

  The inner diameter of the spiral tube 22 is not particularly limited in relation to the inner diameters of the spiral thin tube 21 and the spiral thick tube 23, and may be smaller than the inner diameter of the spiral thin tube 21. May be greater than or equal to and less than or equal to the inner diameter of the spiral thick tube 23, or may be greater than the inner diameter of the spiral thick tube 23. In the configuration shown, the helical tube 22 has approximately the same inner diameter as the helical tubule 21.

  In the illustrated configuration, the spiral diameter of the spiral thin tube 21 is smaller than the spiral diameter of the spiral thick tube 23. The helical diameter of the helical thin tube 21 can be appropriately set according to the capacity of the heat medium or the like, and can be, for example, about 15 to 20 mm. Similarly, the helical diameter of the helical thick tube 23 can be appropriately set according to the capacity of the heat medium or the like, and can be, for example, about 35 to 40 mm. However, the helical diameter of the helical thin tube 21 and the helical thick tube 23 and the magnitude relation thereof are not limited thereto.

  The helical diameter of the helical tube 22 can be appropriately set depending on the heat medium capacity and the like, and is not particularly limited in relation to the helical diameters of the helical thin tube 21 and the helical thick tube 23. The diameter may be smaller than at least one of the thick spiral tubes 23, or may be larger. In the illustrated configuration, the helical tube 22 has approximately the same helical diameter as the helical tubule 21.

  In the illustrated configuration, the entire length of the spiral thin tube 21 is shorter than the entire length of the spiral thick tube 23. The total length of the spiral thin tube 21 can be appropriately set depending on the capacity of the heat medium or the like, and can be, for example, about 500 to 1000 mm. Similarly, the entire length of the spiral thick tube 23 can be appropriately set depending on the heat medium capacity and the like, and can be, for example, about 1500 to 2000 mm. However, the total lengths of the spiral thin tube 21 and the spiral thick tube 23 and their magnitude relation are not limited thereto.

  Further, the total length of the spiral tube 22 can be appropriately set depending on the heat medium capacity or the like, and is not particularly limited in relation to the total length of the spiral thin tube 21 and the spiral thick tube 23. It may be shorter or longer than at least one of the thick tubes 23. In the illustrated configuration, the helical tube 22 has approximately the same overall length as the helical tubule 21.

  The helical thin tube 21, the helical tube 22, and the helical thick tube 23 as described above are formed, for example, by the following method. As described in Patent Document 1, first, a copper tube is prepared, a piano wire is inserted into the copper tube, and the copper tube is squeezed to the outer diameter (thickness) of the piano wire to form a straight tube. Form. Further, the straight tube is spirally wound into a spiral tube, whereby a spiral thin tube 21, a spiral tube 22, and a spiral thick tube 23 are formed.

  By twisting the copper tube, as shown in FIG. 3, an inclined groove 60 is formed on the inner walls of the spiral thin tube 21, the spiral tube 22, and the spiral thick tube 23. The groove 60 is formed so as to advance leftward from the thick spiral tube 23 toward the spiral thin tube 21. Furthermore, by spirally winding the straight pipe on which the groove 60 is formed, the entire pipe is pulled in the length direction outside the spiral, and the pitch of the groove 60 is wider than that in the straight pipe state. In addition, the inside of the spiral is compressed as a whole in the longitudinal direction, and the pitch of the groove 60 becomes narrower than that in the straight pipe state. Further, in the process of spirally winding the straight pipe, at least one “constriction” is formed by twisting the copper pipe in the axial direction. The feed angle and pitch of the groove 60 and the position and number of the “constrictions” are appropriately set for the spiral thin tube 21, the spiral tube 22, and the spiral thick tube 23.

  As described above, since the pitch of the groove 60 is different between the outside and the inside of the spiral tube, and further, by forming the “constriction”, the heat medium spins and rotates in the spiral thin tube 21, In the spiral tube 22, the heat medium rotates laterally, and in the thick spiral tube 23, the heat medium rotates longitudinally, which has a particularly favorable effect on the heat conversion in the speed-heat converter. In other words, in the spiral thin tube 21, the feed angle and pitch of the groove 60 and the formation position and number of the "constriction" are set so that the heat medium spins and rotates inside the spiral thin tube 21. The feed angle and pitch of the groove 60 and the position and number of the “constrictions” are set so that the heat medium rotates in the transverse vibration. And the formation position and the number of "constrictions" are set. However, the configuration and the forming method of the spiral thin tube 21, spiral spiral tube 22, and spiral spiral tube 23 are not particularly limited as long as the respective functions can be exhibited.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a heat exchanger 50 is provided between the collecting pipe 26 (one end of the speed-heat converter 20) and the compressor 10. The heat exchanger 50 radiates heat to, for example, the outside air and is cooled by a fan. The collecting pipe 26 and the heat exchanger 50 are connected by a pipe 51, and the compressor 10 and the heat exchanger 50 are connected by a pipe 52. The inner diameter of the pipes 51 and 52 may be larger than that of the thick spiral tube 23, and may be, for example, about three times the inner diameter of the thick spiral tube 23.

  On the other hand, a spiral tube 70 is provided between the collecting pipe 27 (the other end of the speed-heat converter 20) and the compressor 10. The spiral tube 30 is for dissipating the heat of compression of the compressor 10, for example, and is cooled by a fan. The collecting pipe 27 and the spiral pipe 70 are connected by a pipe 71, and the compressor 10 and the spiral pipe 70 are connected by a pipe 72.

  This spiral tube 70 can be used only during the cooling operation. According to the instantaneous energy conversion device 1, even if the rotation speed of the compressor 10 is suppressed to 1000 rpm or less, which is much lower than the conventional one, a sufficient heating and cooling effect can be exerted, and the heat generation of the compressor 10 can be suppressed accordingly. Can be. Therefore, the spiral tube 70 can be made sufficiently short and small.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the instantaneous energy conversion device 1 is used as a heating and cooling system, a mechanism for switching the input and output of the compressor 10 in reverse between cooling and heating is required. Therefore, a switch 80 (four-way valve) is provided at the input port and the output port of the compressor 10.

  Next, the heating cycle and the cooling cycle will be described. At the time of heating indicated by arrow A in FIG. 1, the heat medium is introduced into the heat exchanger 50 as high-pressure high-temperature gas in the compressor 10. The high pressure means a relatively high pressure in the heating cycle, and a high temperature also means a relatively high temperature in the heating cycle. The heat medium radiates heat in the heat exchanger 50 and becomes a medium-temperature liquid. The liquid heat medium is introduced into the speed-heat converter 20. Then, the heat medium is decompressed and expanded by energy radiation due to spin rotation vibration of the heat medium in the helical tubule 21, and the heat medium is substantially vaporized (gasified) in the relay pipe 25 located downstream thereof. However, here, the vaporization is still wet. The substantially vaporized heat medium is sequentially introduced into the helical tube 22 and the helical thick tube 23, and energy is radiated by the lateral rotation vibration of the heat medium in the helical tube 22 and the heat medium in the helical thick tube 23. It is completely vaporized (gasified) by energy radiation due to the longitudinal rotation vibration of the. The heat medium thus gasified is returned to the compressor 10 through the spiral tube 70.

  During cooling shown by arrow B in FIG. 1, the heat medium is introduced into the spiral tube 70 as high-pressure high-temperature gas in the compressor 10. In the spiral tube 70, the heat of the compressor 10 is radiated from the heat medium and is introduced into the speed-heat converter 20 in order to increase the flow rate of the heat medium. Then, the heat medium is liquefied almost 100% by energy radiation due to the longitudinal rotation vibration of the heat medium in the spiral spiral tube 23. The helical tube 22 and the helical thin tube 21 connected to the downstream side of the helical thick tube 23 also have a function of liquefying the heat medium similarly to the helical thick tube 23. The heated heat refrigerant is cooled under reduced pressure. Specifically, the heat medium substantially liquefied by the thick spiral tube 23 is introduced into the spiral tube 22, and is supercooled by the medium pressure by the energy radiation due to the lateral rotation vibration of the heat medium in the spiral tube 22. The medium pressure means lower than the inlet pressure of the speed-heat converter 20 and higher than the outlet pressure. Further, the heat medium that has been supercooled at an intermediate pressure is introduced into the helical tubule 21 and is decompressed and expanded by energy radiation due to spin rotation oscillation of the heat medium in the helical tubule 21. The liquid heat medium decompressed and expanded in this manner is introduced into the heat exchanger 50, heat-exchanged in the heat exchanger 50, vaporized (gasified), and returned to the compressor 10. The helical thin tube 21 exhibits the function of a conventional expansion valve in order to increase the flow velocity of the heat medium by spin-vibrating the heat medium inside the helical thin tube 21. Thereby, heat exchange in the heat exchanger 50 is performed more effectively.

  The conditions of the compressor 10, the heat exchanger 50, the helical thin tube 21, the helical tube 22, and the helical thick tube 23 during heating and cooling are shown below. The value in parentheses is the range of numerical values. It should be noted that the conditions shown in Tables 1 and 2 below are merely examples, and it is needless to say that these conditions are appropriately changed according to the required heating capacity and cooling capacity.

  As described above, according to the instantaneous energy conversion device 1 of the present invention, a heating / cooling system that does not require an expansion valve, a condenser, and a receiver tank can be configured. In addition, since rotation vibration is applied to the molecules of the heat medium in each of the helical thin tube 21, the helical tube 22, and the helical thick tube 23, and kinetic energy radiation is continuously generated, both cooling and heating are highly efficient and energy consumption is high. Reduction can be achieved. Theoretically, the compressor pressure can be reduced by 20 to 40%, and the power consumption can be reduced by 60 to 80% during heating, and up to 60 to 80% during cooling.

  In this embodiment, the case where the instantaneous energy conversion device 1 is applied to a heating and cooling system has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the instantaneous energy conversion device 1 is applied to a heating only system or a cooling only system. Is also good. Further, in the present embodiment, the instantaneous energy conversion device 1 has the spiral tube 70, but the spiral tube 70 may be omitted. As described above, since the heat generated from the compressor 10 is low, the heating and cooling effect can be sufficiently exhibited without using the spiral tube 70. Further, in understanding the present specification, Patent Document 1 can be referred to.

  As described above, the instantaneous energy conversion device 1 according to the present invention includes the spiral thick tube 23 that longitudinally rotates and liquefies the high-pressure heat refrigerant, and is connected to the spiral thick tube 23 to rotate the liquid refrigerant in the transverse vibration direction. And a spiral thin tube 21 connected to the spiral tube 22 for spin-vibrating and rotating the liquid refrigerant to expand under reduced pressure. Therefore, the power consumption can be significantly reduced. Therefore, its industrial applicability is great.
