Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain comfortable feeling at the time of cooling even if an indoor unit is installed near a floor surface. CONSTITUTION: An indoor heat exchanger 9 is split to a first heat exchanger 9a of a lower side and a second heat exchanger 9b of an upper side, and a sub-electronic expansion valve 13 is provided between the exchangers 9a and 9b. At the time of cooling, refrigerant is passed from the exchanger 9a toward the exchanger 9b via the valve 13 to raise the evaporating temperature of the exchanger 9a to higher than the evaporating temperature of the exchanger 9b, and the temperature of the air diffused from a first air outlet 17 of the lower side through the exchanger 9a is raised higher than that of the air diffused from a second air outlet 19 of the upper side through the exchanger 9b, thereby preventing the excessively cooling at the foot at the time of cooling.

Therefore, by the first blower fan 15a,
The indoor unit 1 is passed through the first heat exchanger 9a having a high evaporation temperature.
The indoor air flowing into No. 1 is blown into the room from the first outlet 17 on the lower side, while the indoor air having flowed into the indoor unit 11 via the second heat exchanger 9b having a low evaporation temperature by the second blower fan 15b. Blows out into the room from the second outlet 19 on the upper side. Since the temperature of the air blown into the room from the first outlet 17 is higher than the temperature of the air blown into the room from the second outlet 19, even if the indoor unit 11 is installed below the central portion of the room, Things that are too cold are avoided. For example, when the intake air temperature in the indoor unit 11 is 25 ° C., the temperature of air blown out from the first outlet 17 is 20 ° C., and the temperature of air blown out from the second outlet 19 is 10 ° C. In addition to preventing overcooling of the room, it is possible to prevent the cool air in the upper part of the room from descending to the floor surface side, and it is possible to keep the room space temperature almost uniform and improve comfort during cooling.

During the dehumidifying operation, the high-temperature, high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 passes through the four-way valve 3, the outdoor heat exchanger 5 and the fully opened main electronic expansion valve 7. In this case, the amount of heat of condensation in the outdoor heat exchanger 5 is controlled by the outdoor fan 11 or the like. The condensation process in the outdoor heat exchanger 5 is shown in FIG.
In the Mollier diagram of, the points are from Q to U. The refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger 5 is condensed in the first heat exchanger 9a in the indoor unit 11, narrowed down by the sub electronic expansion valve 13, and then evaporated in the second heat exchanger 9b. The condensation process in the first heat exchanger 9a is from point U to point R in FIG. 3, and the evaporation process in the second heat exchanger 9b is from point S to point P in FIG. Therefore, the temperature and humidity of the blown air in the indoor unit 11 are equal to the heat of condensation of each of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 and the first heat exchanger 9a,
It is determined by the amount of heat of evaporation in the second heat exchanger 9b. The refrigerant that has come out of the indoor unit 11 at low temperature and low pressure is compressed into high temperature and high pressure gas by the compressor 1, and the refrigeration cycle goes around once.

Also in this dehumidifying operation, the indoor air that has flowed into the indoor unit 11 via the first heat exchanger 9a serving as a condenser is blown into the room from the lower first blow-out port 17 by the first blower fan 15a. Meanwhile, the second blower fan 15b
As a result, the indoor air that has flowed into the indoor unit 11 via the second heat exchanger 9b, which serves as an evaporator, is
Blow out from 9 to the room. Since the temperature of the air blown into the room from the first outlet 17 is higher than the temperature of the air blown into the room from the second outlet 19, even if the indoor unit 11 is installed below the central portion of the room, Things that are too cold are avoided. For example, when the intake air temperature in the indoor unit 11 is 20 ° C., the temperature of the air blown out from the first outlet 17 is set to 25 ° C., and the temperature of the air blown out from the second outlet 19 is set to 15 ° C. It is possible to realize a comfortable air-conditioned space in a hot and cold condition during dehumidification operation.

FIG. 4 shows another example of the indoor heat exchanger 9 in the indoor unit 11. In both the first heat exchanger 9a and the second heat exchanger 9b in the indoor heat exchanger 9, the suction port side (left side in the figure) of the indoor unit 11 is convex and the first and second blower fans 15a, 15b are concave. Is formed in an arc shape. Other configurations are similar to those of the embodiment shown in FIG. By making each of the first and second heat exchangers 9a, 9b into an arc shape, the heat exchange area for the same housing size becomes larger than that of the flat plate type shown in FIG. 1, and the suction air exchanges heat. The large area facilitates smooth passage, improving heat exchange performance. As a result, it is possible to shorten the operation time from the start-up to the steady operation during the cooling / heating operation, and to achieve power saving accordingly.

FIG. 5 shows still another example of the indoor heat exchanger 9 in the indoor unit 11. Indoor heat exchanger 9
The first side heat exchanger 9a in Fig. 4 is a flat plate type similar to that in Fig. 1, and the second heat exchanger 9b is an arc type similar to that in Fig. 4. Other configurations are similar to those of the embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, regarding the second heat exchanger 9b, as in the example of FIG.
Since the heat exchange performance is improved and the first heat exchanger 9a has a flat plate shape, when the first blower fan 15a is stopped in order to reduce the cooling capacity, suction by the second blower fan 15b is performed. Air easily passes through the first heat exchanger 9a, the first heat exchanger 9a can be effectively used, a decrease in evaporation temperature is avoided, and the first heat exchanger 9a is prevented from freezing.

In this case, the condensing temperature in the second heat exchanger 9b located on the lower side is high and the condensing temperature in the first heat exchanger 9a located on the upper side is high due to the restriction by the sub electronic expansion valve 13. It becomes possible to control the so-called second condensing temperature which becomes low. As a result, the temperature of the air blown out from the second air outlet 19 which is located on the lower side is high, and the temperature of the air blown from the first air outlet 17 which is located on the upper side is lowered, and comfortable heating of head cold foot heat is achieved. Can drive.

As described above, according to the present invention, the indoor heat exchanger is arranged in the indoor unit and the first heat exchanger on the lower side and the second heat exchanger on the upper side are arranged. And a sub-throttle mechanism are provided between these heat exchangers so that the refrigerant in the cycle during cooling flows from the first heat exchanger toward the second heat exchanger. Since the evaporation temperature in the heat exchanger is set higher than the same temperature in the second heat exchanger, the temperature of the air that passes through the first heat exchanger and is blown out from the first outlet on the lower side is the second temperature. The temperature of the air that passes through the heat exchanger and is blown out from the second outlet on the upper side becomes higher than that of the air, which prevents overcooling of the feet and suppresses the lowering of the cool air in the upper part of the room, thereby reducing the indoor space temperature. Can be kept uniform.
