상기 실내열교환기(3)는, 정온제습시, 고압의 액과 가스가 혼합된 냉매를 흡입하여 열을 방출시켜 고압의 액체를 토출하는 제1 열교환기(3-1)와; 상기 제1 열교환기(3-1)의 고압의 액체를 저압의 액체로 강하시키는 팽창장치(5)와; 상기 팽창장치(5)를 통해 저압의 액과 가스가 혼합된 냉매를 흡입하여 이를 증발시켜 액분이 없는 저온/저압의 냉매를 토출하는 제2 열교환기(3-2)와; 정온제습시, 상기 제1 열교환기(3-1)에서 토출되는 고압의 액체가 직접 제2 열교환기(3-2)로 토출되는 것을 차단하는 이방변(B2)으로 구성되며, 이와같이 구성된 장치의 동작을 설명한다.The indoor heat exchanger (3) comprises: a first heat exchanger (3-1) for discharging a high pressure liquid by sucking a refrigerant mixed with a high pressure liquid and a gas during constant temperature dehumidification; An expansion device (5) for dropping the high pressure liquid of the first heat exchanger (3-1) to a low pressure liquid; A second heat exchanger (3-2) which sucks the refrigerant mixed with the low pressure liquid and the gas through the expansion device 5 and evaporates it to discharge the low temperature / low pressure refrigerant having no liquid content; At the time of constant temperature dehumidification, it consists of an anisotropic side (B2) that blocks the high-pressure liquid discharged from the first heat exchanger (3-1) directly discharged to the second heat exchanger (3-2), Describe the operation.
먼저, 난방모드시, 압축기(1)에서 압축된 고온고압의 냉매는 사방변(8)을 지나 실내열교환기(3)로 유입되어 응축된후, 팽창장치(4)를 지나면서 저온저압의 냉매로 된다.First, in the heating mode, the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant compressed by the compressor (1) flows through the four sides (8) to the indoor heat exchanger (3) to condense, and then passes through the expansion device (4), the low temperature and low pressure refrigerant It becomes
이때, 실내팬(7)에 의해 흡입된 실내공기가 상기 실내열교환기(3)의 표면을 통과하면서 열교환되어 뜨거운 공기가 실내로 분출하게 되고, 이로인해 실내의 온도를 상승시킨다. At this time, the indoor air sucked by the indoor fan 7 is heat-exchanged while passing through the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 3 to blow out the hot air into the room, thereby raising the temperature of the room.
여기서, 실내열교환기(3)는 제1 열교환기(3-1)와 제2 열교환기(3-2) 사이의 이방변(B2)을 오픈시켜 그 실내열교환기(3)가 응축기로서 동작하도록 한다.Here, the indoor heat exchanger (3) opens the anisotropic side (B2) between the first heat exchanger (3-1) and the second heat exchanger (3-2) so that the indoor heat exchanger (3) operates as a condenser. do.
이후, 실외열교환기(2)는 상기 저온저압의 냉매를 흡입하여 이를 증발시켜 기체 상태의 냉매를 토출하고, 압축기(1)는 상기 실외열교환기(3)에서 토출되는 기체 상태의 냉매를 흡입하여 이를 고온고압의 냉매로 압축하는데, 이러한 동작을 반복 수행하여 난방 운전을 수행한다.Thereafter, the outdoor heat exchanger (2) sucks the low temperature low pressure refrigerant and evaporates it to discharge the gaseous refrigerant, and the compressor (1) sucks the gaseous refrigerant discharged from the outdoor heat exchanger (3). This is compressed to a high temperature and high pressure refrigerant, heating operation is performed by repeating this operation.
냉방 모드시, 압축기(1)에서 압축된 고온고압의 냉매는 사방변을 지나 실외열교환기(2)로 유입되어 응축된후 팽창장치(4)를 지나면서 저온저압의 냉매로 된다.In the cooling mode, the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant compressed by the compressor (1) flows in all directions to the outdoor heat exchanger (2), condenses, passes through the expansion device (4), and becomes a low temperature and low pressure refrigerant.
이후, 실내열교환기(3)는 상기 저온저압의 냉매를 흡입하여 이를 증발시켜 기체상태의 냉매를 토출하고, 상기 압축기(1)는 상기 실내열교환기(3)에서 토출되는 기체상태의 냉매를 흡입하여 이를, 다시 고온고압의 냉매로 압축한다.Thereafter, the indoor heat exchanger (3) sucks the refrigerant at low temperature and low pressure and evaporates it to discharge the refrigerant in the gas state, and the compressor (1) sucks the refrigerant in the gas state discharged from the indoor heat exchanger (3). This is compressed again to a high temperature and high pressure refrigerant.
이때, 실내열교환기(3)는 제1 열교환기(3-1)와 제2 열교환기(3-2) 사이의 이방변(B2)을 오픈시켜 그 실내열교환기(3)가 증발기로서 동작하도록 한다.At this time, the indoor heat exchanger 3 opens the anisotropic side B2 between the first heat exchanger 3-1 and the second heat exchanger 3-2 so that the indoor heat exchanger 3 operates as an evaporator. do.
여기서, 실내팬(7)에 의해 흡입된 실내공기가, 상기 실내열교환기(3)의 차가워진 표면을 통과하면서 열교환되어 차가운 공기가 실내로 분출하게 되고, 이로 인해 실내의 온도를 하강시킨다.Here, the indoor air sucked by the indoor fan (7) is heat-exchanged while passing through the cold surface of the indoor heat exchanger (3) to eject cold air into the room, thereby lowering the temperature of the room.
한편, 정온제습시. 압축기(1)에서 압축된 고온고압의 냉매는 사방변(8)을 지나 실외열교환기(2)로 유입되는데, 이때 실외팬(6)은 작은 회전수로 회전하므로 고온고압의 냉매는 거의 냉각되지 않은 상태로 이방변(B1)을 통과하여 그대로 실내열교환기(3)로 유입된다.Meanwhile, during constant temperature dehumidification. The high temperature and high pressure refrigerant compressed by the compressor (1) passes through the four sides (8) and flows into the outdoor heat exchanger (2). At this time, the outdoor fan (6) rotates at a small rotational speed so that the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant is hardly cooled. Pass through the anisotropy (B1) in the state it does not flow into the indoor heat exchanger (3).
이후, 실내열교환기(3)는, 내부의 이방변(B2)을 차단하여, 제1 열교환기(3-1)와 제2 열교환기(3-2)로 분리하여 사용한다.Thereafter, the indoor heat exchanger 3 cuts off the internal anisotropy B2 and separates the first heat exchanger 3-1 and the second heat exchanger 3-2 from each other.
즉, 제1 열교환기(3-1)는 고압의 액과 가스가 혼합된 냉기를 흡입하여 열을 방출시켜 고압의 액체를 토출하고, 제2 열교환기(3-2)는 상기 제1 열교환기(3-1)에서 토출되는 고압의 액체를 상기 팽창장치(5)를 통해 저압의 액체로 흡입하여 이를 증발시켜 액분이 없는 저온/저압의 냉매를 토출한다.That is, the first heat exchanger 3-1 inhales cold air mixed with a high pressure liquid and a gas to discharge heat to discharge the high pressure liquid, and the second heat exchanger 3-2 performs the first heat exchanger. The high pressure liquid discharged from (3-1) is sucked into the low pressure liquid through the expansion device 5 and evaporated to discharge the low temperature / low pressure refrigerant having no liquid content.
이때, 실내팬(7)에 의해 흡입된 실내공기가, 상기 제2 열교환기(3-2)의 차가워진 표면을 통과하면서 열교환되어 습기가 제거된후, 그 습기가 제거된 건조공기는 제1 열교환기(3-1)의 뜨거워진 표면을 통과하면서 가열되어 실내로 분출된다.At this time, after the indoor air sucked by the indoor fan 7 passes through the cold surface of the second heat exchanger 3-2 and the moisture is removed, the dried air is removed from the first air. It is heated while passing through the hot surface of the heat exchanger 3-1, and is ejected to the room.
도2를 참조하여 냉기의 흐름을 설명하면, 흡입부를 통해 본체로 흡입된 공기가 실내열교환기를 통과하면서 실내열교환기내에 흐르는 냉매의 증발잠열에 의해 냉풍으로 열교환되고, 실내열교환기에서 열교환된 냉풍은 실내팬구동부에 의해 구동되는 실내팬에 의해 상부로 안내되어 토출구를 통해 실내로 토출되는데, 상기 토출구을 통해 토출되는 냉풍은 상하풍향베인과 좌우풍향베인의 각도에 따라 상하 또는 좌우로 풍향이 조절되면서 실내 냉방을 수행한다. Referring to FIG. 2, the flow of cold air is heat-exchanged with cold air by latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant flowing in the indoor heat exchanger while passing through the indoor heat exchanger. It is guided upward by the indoor fan driven by the indoor fan drive unit and discharged into the room through the discharge port. The cold air discharged through the discharge port is controlled by the up and down or left and right wind vane. Perform cooling.
