Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a compressor from being interrupted in its operation upon starting of heating by providing a heat source side refrigerant cycle and a utilization side refrigerant cycle, and further providing a pressure regulating valve for allowing refrigerant to flow through at predetermined pressure in parallel to a heating pressure reduction device. CONSTITUTION:A pressure regulating valve 13 is provided in parallel to a heating pressure reduction device 5. Mush gas refrigerant mixes into an inlet side of a refrigerant carrier device 11 in heating operation to reduce the amount of carried refrigerant. Thereupon, the pressure regulating valve 13 is actuated when the amount of heat exchange in a second auxiliary heat exchanger 9 is reduced and high pressure in a heat source side refrigerant cycle rises and gets predetermined pressure, whereby refrigerant is allowed to flow through in parallel to the heating pressure reduction device 11. Accordingly, the amount of pressure reduction is reduction to low the amount of exchange heat (amount of heat absorption) in a heat source side heat exchanger 3 and hence the amount of exchanged heat (amount of heat dissipation) in a first auxiliary heat exchanger 8. Thus, high pressure can also be reduced. Hereby, a compressor is prevented from being interrupted even through the capability of the refrigerant carrier device is deteriorated upon strating of heating operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to a refrigerant cycle for a heating and cooling system.

Conventional technology Conventionally, the refrigerant cycle of air conditioning equipment separated into a heat source side refrigerant cycle and a user side refrigerant cycle was disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-2389.
It was disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 51 and was constructed as shown in FIG. In Fig. 2, 1 is a compressor, 2 is a four-way valve on the heat source side,
3 is a heat source side heat exchanger, 4 is a pressure reducing device for cooling, 6 is a pressure reducing device for heating, 6 is a check valve that closes the cooling pressure reducing device 4 during heating, and 7 is a valve that closes the heating pressure reducing device 5 during cooling. check valve consisting of 8
These are connected in an annular manner by a first auxiliary heat exchanger to form a heat source side refrigerant cycle. A second auxiliary heat exchanger 9 is integrally formed to exchange heat with the first auxiliary heat exchanger 8. 1o is a refrigerant amount adjustment tank that adjusts the amount of refrigerant during cooling and heating. Reference numeral 11 denotes a refrigerant conveying device which has a reversible characteristic such that the outflow direction of the refrigerant is opposite during cooling and heating, and is housed in the heat source side unit) a. Reference numeral 12 denotes a heat exchanger on the user side, which is housed in the user side unit)b and is connected to the heat source side unit)a through connecting pipes C and O'.

The second auxiliary heat exchanger 9 and the refrigerant amount adjustment tank 10° refrigerant conveying device 11. The user-side heat exchanger 12 and the connecting pipe f are connected in an annular manner to form a user-side refrigerant cycle.

The operation of the heating and cooling system configured as described above will be explained.

During cooling operation, the refrigerant cycle is indicated by the solid line arrow in the figure. In the refrigerant cycle on the heat source side, high-temperature, high-pressure gas from the compressor 1 passes through the four-way valve 2, radiates heat in the heat exchanger 3 on the heat source side, condenses and liquefies, and passes through the check valve. 6, the pressure is reduced by the cooling expansion valve 4, evaporated by the first auxiliary heat exchanger 8, and circulated to the compressor 1 by passing through the four-way valve 2 on the heat source side. At this time, the second auxiliary heat exchanger 9 of the refrigerant cycle on the user side
The first auxiliary heat exchanger 8 exchanges heat, and the gas refrigerant in the user-side refrigerant cycle is cooled and liquefied, and is sent to the refrigerant conveyance device 11 through the refrigerant amount adjustment tank 1o. It is sent to the user-side heat exchanger 12 through the connecting pipe C, where it is cooled, endothermically evaporated, gasified, and circulated through the connecting pipe C' to the second auxiliary heat exchanger 9.

On the other hand, during heating operation, the refrigerant cycle is indicated by the broken line arrow in the figure, and in the heat source side refrigerant cycle, the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant from the compressor 1 is transferred from the heat source side four-way valve 2 to the first auxiliary heat exchanger 8.
It radiates heat, condenses and liquefies, reduces the pressure through the check valve 7 in the heating pressure reducing device 5, absorbs heat and evaporates in the heat source side heat exchanger 3, and circulates through the heat source side four-way valve 2 to the compressor 1. At this time, the second auxiliary heat exchanger 9 of the user-side refrigerant cycle and the first auxiliary heat exchanger 8 exchange heat, and the liquid refrigerant in the user-side refrigerant cycle is heated and gasified, passing through the connecting pipe C'. The refrigerant is sent to the user-side heat exchanger 12, heated, heat-radiated, liquefied, sent to the refrigerant transport device 11 through the connection pipe C, and circulated from the refrigerant amount adjustment tank 1o to the second auxiliary heat exchanger 9.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, if the refrigerant conveyance device is operated at the same time as the compressor of the heat source side refrigerant cycle at the start of heating operation, part of the gas refrigerant of the user side refrigerant cycle will be transferred to the refrigerant. This will flow into the equipment and reduce the refrigerant transport capacity. Therefore, the heat exchange capacity of the second auxiliary heat exchanger decreases, the heat exchange capacity of the first auxiliary heat exchanger, that is, the heat dissipation and condensation capacity of the heat source side refrigerant cycle decreases, and the high pressure increases, causing the compressor to operate. There was a risk that it would stop.

In order to solve this problem, a method of controlling the capacity of the compressor has been considered, but this method has the drawbacks of requiring a complicated structure and increasing costs.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an air-conditioning and heating system that has a simple configuration and that does not cause the compressor to stop operating even if the transport capacity of the refrigerant transport system decreases at the start of heating operation.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the air conditioning system of the present invention includes:
It is equipped with a heat source side refrigerant cycle, a user side refrigerant cycle, and a pressure regulating valve through which refrigerant flows at a predetermined pressure in parallel with the heating pressure reducing device.

Effect: With the above-described configuration, the present invention reduces the capacity of the heat source side refrigerant cycle during the predetermined start waiting time of the heating operation, and the amount of heat exchanged (heat released) in the first auxiliary heat exchanger decreases.
This means that the high pressure can also be lowered.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a heating and cooling system according to an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows a pressure regulating valve installed in parallel with the present invention, in which the inlet side pressure is set to a predetermined pressure (for example, 23
try/dG ), the refrigerant will circulate. The other parts are the same as those of the conventional example, and the same reference numerals are used here to omit the explanation. Further, the operation of this refrigerant cycle is the same as that of the conventional example, and the details will be omitted, but during heating operation, a large amount of gas refrigerant mixes into the inlet side of the refrigerant transport device 11, and the amount of refrigerant transported decreases. At this time, the second auxiliary heat exchanger 9
As the heat exchange amount decreases, the high pressure of the heat source side refrigerant cycle increases.When it reaches a predetermined pressure (for example, 23 kl/c4G), the pressure regulating valve operates and the refrigerant flows in parallel with the heating pressure reducing device 11. That's what I do. Therefore, the amount of pressure reduction decreases, the heat exchanged heat amount (heat absorption amount) of the heat source side heat exchanger 3 decreases, and the heat exchanged heat amount (heat radiation amount) in the first auxiliary heat exchanger 8 decreases, so the high pressure also decreases. can do.

As described above, according to this embodiment, since the heat source side refrigerant cycle, the usage side refrigerant cycle, and the pressure regulating valve through which the refrigerant flows at a predetermined pressure in parallel with the heating pressure reducing device are provided, the heating operation can be carried out. At startup, even if the capacity of the refrigerant conveyance device decreases, the heat exchange heat amount (heat absorption amount) of the heat source side heat exchanger decreases, and the heat exchange heat amount (heat release amount) of the first auxiliary heat exchanger decreases. , the high pressure can also be lowered. Therefore, there is no possibility that the compressor will stop due to a rise in high pressure when starting the heating operation.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention includes a heat source side refrigerant cycle, a user side refrigerant cycle, and a pressure regulating valve in parallel with a heating pressure reducing device through which refrigerant flows when a predetermined pressure is reached. At the start of operation, the heat exchange heat amount (heat absorption amount) of the heat source side heat exchanger decreases, and the heat exchange heat amount (heat release amount) of the first auxiliary heat exchanger decreases, so the high pressure may also be lowered. can. Therefore, even if the transport capacity of the start-up refrigerant transport device decreases,
This has the effect of allowing stable operation without the risk of the compressor stopping due to an increase in the high pressure in the heat source side refrigerant cycle.
