Description

この発明は、空気調和装置の運転制御に係り、特に運転起動時の圧縮機の信頼性を向上させる制御に関する。 The present invention relates to operation control of an air conditioner, and more particularly to control for improving reliability of a compressor at the time of starting operation.

一般に、空気調和機による空調運転で、冷房運転シーズンと暖房運転シーズンとの間の中間期などの低負荷時には、圧縮機の回転数(運転周波数)を低下させることで空調能力を下げて運転することになる。このような圧縮機回転数が低い運転では、冷媒回路を循環する冷媒の高圧側圧力と低圧側圧力との差である高低圧差が付きにくく、圧縮機からの吐出冷媒過熱度(吐出SH)が低下し易い状態となる。この吐出SHが低下すると、圧縮機内の冷凍機油濃度が低下することに伴い、シール性が低下するため圧縮機故障の原因となる。また、吐出SHが低下した状態で停止すると、圧縮機が再起動する際に急激な差圧の上昇で圧縮機に溜められている冷媒及び冷凍機油が冷媒回路内に持ち出され、さらなる冷凍機油濃度低下に至り圧縮機故障の原因となることがある。 Generally, during air-conditioning operation by an air conditioner, when the load is low, such as in the intermediate period between the cooling operation season and the heating operation season, the air conditioning capacity is lowered to operate by lowering the rotation speed (operating frequency) of the compressor. It will be. In such a low compressor rotation speed operation, a high-low pressure difference, which is a difference between the high-pressure side pressure and the low-pressure side pressure of the refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circuit, is unlikely to occur, and the refrigerant superheat degree (discharge SH) discharged from the compressor is low. It will be in a state where it easily falls. When the discharge SH is lowered, the concentration of the refrigerating machine oil in the compressor is lowered, and the sealing property is lowered, which causes a compressor failure. Further, if the discharge SH is stopped in the state of being lowered, the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil accumulated in the compressor are taken out into the refrigerant circuit due to a sharp increase in the differential pressure when the compressor is restarted, and the refrigerating machine oil concentration is further increased. This may lead to a decrease and cause a compressor failure.

それを改善する従来の技術としては、圧縮機が停止するときに、圧縮機吐出冷媒過熱度(吐出SH)を検出して、その吐出SHが一定以上となるまで圧縮機の停止を遅延させる制御が開示されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 As a conventional technique for improving it, a control for detecting the compressor discharge refrigerant superheat degree (discharge SH) when the compressor is stopped and delaying the stop of the compressor until the discharge SH becomes a certain value or more. Is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、特許文献1に記載された空気調和機では、吐出SHが低下し冷凍機油濃度が低下したままの状態で長時間運転が継続されるケースがあり、そうした際の圧縮機の信頼性低下を防ぐことができないという問題がある。また、不必要な運転時間の継続によりそれによる消費電力増加となり省エネ性が悪化するという問題もある。 However, in the air conditioner described in Patent Document 1, there is a case in which the discharge SH is reduced and the refrigerating machine oil concentration is kept low for a long period of time, and the reliability of the compressor is deteriorated. There is a problem that cannot be prevented. There is also a problem in that the energy consumption is deteriorated due to an increase in power consumption due to unnecessary continuation of the operating time.

図1において、空気調和装置は互いに冷媒配管によって接続された室外機17と室内機18から構成されている。
室外機17には、冷媒を圧縮する運転周波数(圧縮機運転周波数)を変更可能な圧縮機1と、冷媒の流れ方向を切換えるための四方弁2と、室外空気との間で熱交換する室外熱交換器3と、室外熱交換器3に向けて室外空気を供給する室外ファン4と、冷媒を膨張する膨張弁5とが設けられている。一方、室内機18には、室内空気との間で熱交換する室内熱交換器6と、室内熱交換器6に向けて室内空気を供給する室内ファン7とが設けられている。そして、室外機17と室内機16は、ガス側接続配管20と液側接続配管21とで配管接続され冷媒が循環する。冷媒は、例えば、HFO−1234yfなどのHFO単体冷媒、又はHFO冷媒とR32などのHFC冷媒との混合冷媒である。
In FIG. 1, the air conditioner includes an outdoor unit 17 and an indoor unit 18, which are connected to each other by a refrigerant pipe.
The outdoor unit 17 includes a compressor 1 capable of changing an operating frequency for compressing the refrigerant (compressor operating frequency), a four-way valve 2 for switching the flow direction of the refrigerant, and an outdoor unit for exchanging heat between the outdoor air.

The outdoor unit 17 and the indoor unit 16 are pipe-connected by the gas-side connecting pipe 20 and the liquid-side connecting pipe 21 so that the refrigerant circulates. The refrigerant is, for example, a single HFO refrigerant such as HFO-1234yf or a mixed refrigerant of HFO refrigerant and HFC refrigerant such as R32.

空気調和装置の空調運転において、室内を冷房する場合には、圧縮機1から吐出された冷媒は、四方弁2、室外熱交換器3、膨張弁5、室内熱交換器6の順に流れ、再度四方弁2を経由して冷媒容器8から圧縮機1に戻る冷媒回路が形成され、冷凍サイクルが実行される。また、室内を暖房する場合には、圧縮機1から吐出された冷媒は、四方弁2、室内熱交換器6、膨張弁5、室外熱交換器3の順に流れ、再度四方弁2を経由して圧縮機1に戻る冷媒回路が形成され、冷凍サイクルが実行される。 In the air conditioning operation of the air conditioner, when cooling the room, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 flows in the order of the four-way valve 2, the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the expansion valve 5, and the indoor heat exchanger 6 and then again. A refrigerant circuit that returns from the refrigerant container 8 to the compressor 1 via the four-way valve 2 is formed, and the refrigeration cycle is executed. When heating the room, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 flows through the four-way valve 2, the indoor heat exchanger 6, the expansion valve 5, and the outdoor heat exchanger 3 in this order, and then passes through the four-way valve 2 again. A refrigerant circuit that returns to the compressor 1 is formed, and the refrigeration cycle is executed.

空気調和装置は、リモコン22と、室内機18の室内制御装置10と、室外機17の室外制御装置9とが通信線で接続され運転制御情報を互いに送受信して利用者の設定条件を満たすように空調制御を行う。 In the air conditioner, the remote controller 22, the indoor control device 10 of the indoor unit 18, and the outdoor control device 9 of the outdoor unit 17 are connected by a communication line to transmit and receive operation control information to and from each other so that the user's setting conditions are satisfied. Air conditioning control.

空気調和装置には各種センサが設置されている。室外機17には、圧縮機1の外郭シェル温度を検出するための圧縮機温度センサ11、吐出冷媒温度として吐出配管温度Tdを検出する吐出配管温度センサ12、室外熱交換器3での気液二相状態の冷媒の温度を検出するための室外熱交換器二相温度センサ13が設けられている。そして、室内機18には、室内熱交換器6での気液二相状態の冷媒の温度を検出するための室内熱交換器二相温度センサ14、室内空気の温度を検出する室内吸込温度センサ15が設けられている。 Various sensors are installed in the air conditioner. The outdoor unit 17 includes a compressor temperature sensor 11 for detecting an outer shell temperature of the compressor 1, a discharge pipe temperature sensor 12 for detecting a discharge pipe temperature Td as a discharge refrigerant temperature, and a gas-liquid in the outdoor heat exchanger 3. An outdoor heat exchanger two-phase temperature sensor 13 for detecting the temperature of the two-phase refrigerant is provided. The indoor unit 18 includes an indoor heat exchanger two-phase temperature sensor 14 for detecting the temperature of the refrigerant in the gas-liquid two-phase state in the indoor heat exchanger 6, and an indoor suction temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of indoor air. 15 are provided.

また、室外制御装置9は、内部に圧縮機運転継続手段を有し、圧縮機温度センサ11と吐出配管温度センサ12と室外熱交換器二相温度センサ13と室内熱交換器二相温度センサ14とから検知されたそれぞれの温度を用いて圧縮機運転継続中は逐次、圧縮機吐出SH(吐出冷媒過熱度)を算出し、運転停止時にこの圧縮機吐出SHが一定以上となるように運転を制御する。 Further, the outdoor control device 9 has a compressor operation continuation means inside thereof, and has a compressor temperature sensor 11, a discharge pipe temperature sensor 12, an outdoor heat exchanger two-phase temperature sensor 13, and an indoor heat exchanger two-phase temperature sensor 14. The compressor discharge SH (discharging refrigerant superheat degree) is sequentially calculated while the compressor is continuously operating by using the respective temperatures detected from and, and the operation is performed so that the compressor discharge SH becomes a certain value or more when the operation is stopped. Control.

さらに、室外制御装置9は、内部に圧縮機加熱制御手段を有し、空調運転継続中の圧縮機1を加熱することで吐出SHを上昇させるために設けた圧縮機加熱手段16を動作制御する。 Further, the outdoor control device 9 has a compressor heating control means inside, and controls the operation of the compressor heating means 16 provided to raise the discharge SH by heating the compressor 1 during the air conditioning operation. ..

この圧縮機加熱手段16は、室外制御装置9による空調のための圧縮機の運転回転数は変化させずに電流のみを増大させて発熱を促進させる制御手段でも、または圧縮機外郭に電熱線を巻き付けて通電することで加熱する電気ヒータ加熱手段でもよく、その両方を組み合わせても良い。 The compressor heating means 16 may be a control means that accelerates heat generation by increasing only the current without changing the operating speed of the compressor for air conditioning by the outdoor control device 9, or by supplying a heating wire to the outer shell of the compressor. An electric heater heating means for heating by winding and energizing may be used, or both may be combined.

例えば、制御手段による圧縮機加熱手段16では、圧縮機1の電動機部モータの各相への通電する電流を変化させてジュール熱が通常より高く発生するように構成される。 For example, the compressor heating means 16 by the control means is configured so that the current flowing to each phase of the electric motor motor of the compressor 1 is changed to generate Joule heat higher than usual.

次に、空気調和装置の制御動作について説明する。
図2は本発明の実施の形態1に係る制御フローである。図2は空気調和装置がリモコン22からユーザーが設定する設定温度と室内吸込温度センサ15により検出された室内吸込温度によりサーモONやサーモOFFする場合について記載しているが、サーモOFFについては、例えばユーザーがリモコン22から空調運転を停止した場合についても同様であるので説明は省略する。
Next, the control operation of the air conditioner will be described.
FIG. 2 is a control flow according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows the case where the air conditioner turns on or off the thermostat depending on the set temperature set by the user from the remote controller 22 and the indoor suction temperature detected by the indoor suction temperature sensor 15. The same applies to the case where the user stops the air conditioning operation from the remote controller 22, and the description thereof will be omitted.

まず、ユーザーがリモコン22から運転開始指示(運転ON指令)を発信する(S1)。そして、室内制御装置10及び室外制御装置9は、このリモコン22からの運転開始指示を受けてサーモON判定を行う。例えば、冷房運転の場合、室内吸込温度センサ15により検出された室内吸込温度が、リモコン22からの設定温度より高いと冷房サーモONが成立し、一方、暖房運転の場合、室内吸込温度センサ15により検出された室内吸込温度がリモコン22からの設定温度より低いと暖房サーモONが成立する(S2)。 First, the user sends an operation start instruction (operation ON instruction) from the remote controller 22 (S1). Then, the indoor control device 10 and the outdoor control device 9 receive the operation start instruction from the remote controller 22 and perform the thermo-ON determination. For example, in the cooling operation, the cooling thermo ON is established when the indoor suction temperature detected by the indoor suction temperature sensor 15 is higher than the set temperature from the remote controller 22, while in the heating operation, the indoor suction temperature sensor 15 is used. When the detected indoor suction temperature is lower than the temperature set by the remote controller 22, the heating thermostat ON is established (S2).

次に、サーモON判定が成立したら、圧縮機1の運転を開始する(S3)。それと同時に、室外ファン4や室内ファン7も運転を開始するが、圧縮機1以外のアクチュエータ動作についての説明は省略する。 Next, when the thermo-ON determination is established, the operation of the compressor 1 is started (S3). At the same time, the outdoor fan 4 and the indoor fan 7 also start to operate, but description of actuator operations other than the compressor 1 will be omitted.

室内制御装置10及び室外制御装置9は、圧縮機1の運転中は常にサーモOFF判定を行う(S4)。例えば、冷房運転の場合、室内吸込温度センサ15により検出された室内吸込温度がリモコン22の設定温度以下となるまで圧縮機1の運転を行い、室内吸込温度センサ15により検出された室内吸込温度がリモコン22の設定温度以下となるとサーモOFFが成立したと判定する。 The indoor control device 10 and the outdoor control device 9 always perform the thermo-OFF determination while the compressor 1 is operating (S4). For example, in the case of the cooling operation, the compressor 1 is operated until the indoor suction temperature detected by the indoor suction temperature sensor 15 becomes equal to or lower than the set temperature of the remote controller 22, and the indoor suction temperature detected by the indoor suction temperature sensor 15 is When the temperature falls below the set temperature of the remote controller 22, it is determined that the thermostat OFF has been established.

そして、サーモOFFが成立したら室外制御装置9は、再度、圧縮機吐出SHを算出する。冷房運転の場合は、圧縮機シェル温度センサ11により検出された圧縮機シェル温度と吐出配管温度センサ12により検出された吐出冷媒温度のどちらか高い方から、室外熱交換器二相温度センサ13により検出された凝縮器の冷媒凝縮飽和温度である室外熱交換器二相温度を差し引いた値として算出される。暖房運転の場合は、圧縮機シェル温度と吐出冷媒温度のどちらか高い方から、室内熱交換器二相温度センサ14により検出した室内熱交換器二相温度を差し引いた値として算出される。 Then, when the thermo OFF is established, the outdoor control device 9 calculates the compressor discharge SH again. In the case of the cooling operation, the outdoor heat exchanger two-phase temperature sensor 13 determines whether the compressor shell temperature detected by the compressor shell temperature sensor 11 or the discharge refrigerant temperature detected by the discharge pipe temperature sensor 12 is higher. It is calculated as a value obtained by subtracting the two-phase temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger, which is the refrigerant condensation saturation temperature of the detected condenser. In the heating operation, it is calculated as a value obtained by subtracting the indoor heat exchanger two-phase temperature detected by the indoor heat exchanger two-phase temperature sensor 14 from the higher one of the compressor shell temperature and the discharged refrigerant temperature.

次に、室外制御装置9は、算出された圧縮機吐出SHが予め設定された閾値以上であるかどうかを判定する(S5)。例えば、予め設定された閾値を10degとすると、圧縮機吐出SH≧10degであれば、YESの判定となり圧縮機1の運転を停止させ(S7)、NOの判定である圧縮機吐出SH<10degの場合は圧縮機の継続運転を実行させる。 Next, the outdoor control device 9 determines whether the calculated compressor discharge SH is equal to or more than a preset threshold value (S5). For example, assuming that the preset threshold value is 10 deg, if the compressor discharge SH≧10 deg, the determination is YES, the operation of the compressor 1 is stopped (S7), and the NO determination is that the compressor discharge SH<10 deg. In this case, continue operation of the compressor.

この吐出SH判定(S5)にてNOの判定で圧縮機継続運転となると、室外制御装置9は、圧縮機の運転継続中に、圧縮機加熱手段16へ動作指令を送信し、圧縮機加熱動作を行う(S6)。 When the discharge SH determination (S5) is NO and the compressor is in continuous operation, the outdoor control device 9 transmits an operation command to the compressor heating means 16 while the compressor is continuously operating to perform the compressor heating operation. (S6).

室外制御装置9は、その動作の間も圧縮機吐出SH判定(S5)を行い、圧縮機吐出SH≧10deg(閾値)となるまで圧縮機加熱動作を継続し、測定算出する圧縮機吐出SHが10deg以上となると圧縮機1の運転を停止させる(S7)。 The outdoor control device 9 also performs the compressor discharge SH determination (S5) during the operation, continues the compressor heating operation until the compressor discharge SH≧10 deg (threshold value), and the compressor discharge SH to be measured and calculated is When it becomes 10 deg or more, the operation of the compressor 1 is stopped (S7).

また、上述の実施例では、サーモOFF判定(S4)を実施し、その判定結果に基づき次ステップの吐出SH判定(S5)に移り、この吐出SH判定により圧縮機加熱ON(S6)動作を実行するかどうかとなる制御フローを説明したが、サーモOFF判定(S4)で確定する前の段階にて吐出SH判定(S5)を行い、その判定に伴う圧縮機加熱ON(S6)を実行する制御フローでも良く、より早く吐出SHを所定の閾値以上に上昇到達できる。 In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the thermostat OFF determination (S4) is performed, and the discharge SH determination (S5) of the next step is performed based on the determination result, and the compressor heating ON (S6) operation is executed by this discharge SH determination. Although the control flow as to whether or not to perform is described, the discharge SH determination (S5) is performed at a stage before being determined by the thermo OFF determination (S4), and the compressor heating ON (S6) associated with the determination is executed. A flow may be used, and the discharge SH can be raised and reached to a predetermined threshold value or more faster.

その際、圧縮機ON(S3)以降の継続運転中には、空調運転時間の経過につれて、室内吸込温度と設定温度との差が小さくなる傾向を示すので、その温度差の変化に基づき、サーモOFF判定(S4)で確定するよりも以前に圧縮機加熱ON(S6)動作を実施することとなる。 At that time, during the continuous operation after the compressor is turned on (S3), the difference between the indoor intake temperature and the set temperature tends to become smaller as the air conditioning operation time elapses. The compressor heating ON (S6) operation is carried out before the determination by the OFF judgment (S4).

室内吸込温度と設定温度との温度差の変化について、例えば、継続運転によりサーモOFFに到達するであろうと予測できると、この温度差が0.5deg以内になったら圧縮機加熱ON(S6)を実行することでも良く、又は、この温度差の時間変化率からサーモOFFに到達するであろう残りの運転時間を算出し、到達までに5分となった時点で圧縮機加熱ONを実行することでも良い。 Regarding the change in the temperature difference between the indoor suction temperature and the set temperature, for example, if it can be predicted that the thermostat will reach the thermo-OFF state due to the continuous operation, the compressor heating ON (S6) is turned on when the temperature difference falls within 0.5 deg. It is also possible to execute it, or calculate the remaining operating time that will reach the thermostat OFF from the time change rate of this temperature difference, and execute the compressor heating ON when it reaches 5 minutes before reaching it. But good.

このような制御フローに基づく、圧縮機吐出SHによる圧縮機加熱動作を行うことにより、圧縮機1が運転停止する時には常に圧縮機内の冷凍機油濃度を所定値までに維持し、圧縮機1の駆動機構の冷凍機油によるシール性を確保することができるので、圧縮機の信頼性を高めることができる効果を有する。 By performing the compressor heating operation by the compressor discharge SH based on such a control flow, the refrigerating machine oil concentration in the compressor is always maintained to a predetermined value when the compressor 1 is stopped, and the compressor 1 is driven. Since the sealability of the mechanism with the refrigerating machine oil can be secured, there is an effect that the reliability of the compressor can be enhanced.
