Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a device capable of controlling the amount of refrigerant in a heat pump system in conjunction with ambient temperature.
In a general heat pump system, a refrigerant circulation cycle includes a compressor for compressing a refrigerant gas to a condensing pressure in a high-temperature and high-pressure state, a condenser for condensing the refrigerant compressed in the compressor into a liquid state by heat radiation, An expansion valve for expanding the liquid refrigerant condensed at the high temperature and high pressure state condensed in the condenser to the gaseous refrigerant at a low pressure state and an evaporator for evaporating the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve to deprive the latent heat of evaporation from the outside air, and an evaporator. Such a heat pump system is a system for continuously changing the phase of the refrigerant from the gas to the liquid and from the liquid to the gas during the refrigerant circulation cycle and converting the heating and cooling operation to the four sides, and generates hot water as a heating heat source.
In order to improve the performance of the heat pump system, the efficiency of the compressor must be high, the components constituting the system must be designed to optimize each other, and the appropriate amount of refrigerant must be charged. In particular, when the amount of refrigerant filled in the heat pump system is large or small, the performance of the system may deteriorate and the reliability of the product may deteriorate. Therefore, it is very important to charge the optimal amount of refrigerant into the system.
However, heat pump systems operate in a variety of operating conditions, particularly changes in outdoor temperature affect the performance of the heat pump system. The optimum amount of refrigerant that can provide optimum performance in a heat pump system depends on the ambient temperature. That is, when the outside air temperature is high as in the summer, it needs to be injected in a larger amount than the usual amount of the refrigerant, and when the outside air temperature is low as in winter, it is necessary to reduce the amount of the refrigerant.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerant amount adjusting device capable of adjusting a refrigerant amount of a heat pump system in conjunction with outside air temperature.
Other objects of the present invention will become more apparent through the embodiments described below.
A refrigerant amount adjusting apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a pressure regulator for keeping a pressure of refrigerant at a rear end of a condenser and a tank capable of charging or discharging refrigerant, A first separating membrane, a second separating membrane forming a second space, and an elastic member interposed between the first separating membrane and the second separating membrane, wherein the thermally-induced refrigerant injected into the first space has a volume change While the refrigerant injected into the second space is maintained at a constant pressure by the pressure regulator and the force due to the pressure of the thermosensitive refrigerant and the force due to the elastic member and the force due to the circulating refrigerant are in equilibrium , The amount of refrigerant injected into the second space changes due to the volume change of the thermosensitive refrigerant in accordance with the change in the ambient temperature.
The refrigerant amount control apparatus according to the present invention may include one or more of the following embodiments. For example, the tank may have a first refrigerant passage in communication with the first space and a circulating refrigerant passage in communication with the second space, and the circulating refrigerant passage may be located between the pressure regulator and the expansion valve.
The circulating refrigerant passage may be provided with a control valve.
The first space may communicate with a sensing tube filled with the thermosensitive refrigerant. And the opening / closing passage may be disposed at the rear end of the evaporator.
The first separation membrane may be a diaphragm, and the second separation membrane may correspond to a piston capable of moving up and down.
An intermediate heat exchanger may be further provided at the downstream end of the pressure regulator.
The present invention can provide a refrigerant amount adjusting device capable of adjusting an amount of refrigerant so as to achieve an optimum efficiency according to the outside air temperature.
