- The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a piping system of a refrigeration apparatus of ice storage type according to an embodiment of the invention.
- In the cool storage operation for refrigeration, an electrically-operated two-way valve A6 is fully closed, an electrically-operated two-way valve B7 is fully opened, and a brine pump 5 and a heat source unit 1 are operated. Thus, the brine solution supercooled by the heat source unit 1 flows through the pipe in an ice-making
heat exchanger 4, exchanges heat with the chilled water stored in thecool storage tank 3 and returns to the heat source unit 1. The cool storage operation is performed by exchanging heat with the chilled water in thecool storage tank 3 and forming ice on the outer surface of the pipe of the ice-makingheat exchanger 4 thereby to accumulate the stored cool amount. - In accumulating the stored cool amount, the stored cool amount can be controlled by detecting the volume increase due to the phase change from water to ice by a
water level sensor 10 arranged in thecool storage tank 3 and converting it to a cool storage-completing water level. In the cooling air-conditioning operation, on the other hand, the electrically-operated two-way valve A6 is fully opened, the electrically-operated two-way valve B7 is fully closed, and the chilled water stored in thecool storage tank 3 by the cool storage operation is mixed with the chilled water circulated by a chilld/hot water pump 8 and returned to the load side through a brine/water heat exchanger 2, so that a predetermined amount of the chilled water is supplied to the load side. - FIG. 2 shows an example of the scheduled operation, in which the cooling heat storage starting time is set to 22:00, the cool storage ending time to 7.55, the air-conditioning starting time to 8:00, the air-conditioning ending time to 18:00, and the cancellation day, i.e. the day on which the apparatus is not operated to Sunday. According to this schedule, the cool storage operation is not performed from 22:00 to 7:55 on Saturday nor the air-conditioning operation from 8:00 to 18:00 on Sunday.
- In the prior art, in the case where the residual stored cool exists at the time of starting the cool storage operation B from 22:00 to 7:55 on Sunday, for example, it is erroneously determined by estimation that the small load for the air-conditioning operation on Sunday would reduce the air-conditioning load on Monday, so that the cool storage operation B is performed by limiting the stored cool amount, with the result that the stored cool amount runs short and cannot meet the load for the air-conditioning operation C from 8:00 to 18:00 on Monday.
- According to this embodiment, on the other hand, in the case where the air-conditioning load for Monday can be estimated in advance, the cool storage operation A or B which otherwise would be canceled is made possible, and the amount of cool stored by the cool storage operation A or B is selectively set as one of six stages. As a result, 100% of the stored cool amount can be secured by the air-conditioning operation C from 8:00 to 18:00 on Monday.
- FIG. 3 is a control flowchart according to an embodiment of the invention.
- First, whether it is the time to start the cool storage or not is checked, and the in the case where it is the time to start the cool storage, it is determined whether it is a cancellation day of the week or not. In the case where it is a cancellation day of the week, whether or not the arbitrary stored cool amount setting is selected or not. If the arbitrary stored cool amount setting is selected, the stored cool amount is selected from the six stages and the stored cool amount a is checked. Assuming that the cool storage completing water level with 100% of stored cool amount is h, the cool storage completing water level h for the stored cool amount a is given as ha=h× a.
- Then, the present water level hn is measured by the
water level sensor 10 and it is determined whether the following condition is met or not. - (Present water level hn)≧(Cool storage completing water level ha for stored cool amount a)
- In the case where this condition is satisfied, the cool storage operation is not carried out, while in the case where this condition fails to be met, the cool storage operation is carried out to accumulate to the set arbitrary amount of cool as indicated by the following equation.
- (Present water level hn)=(Cool storage completing water level ha for stored cool amount a)
- FIG. 4 is a control flowchart according to another embodiment of the invention.
- First, it is determined whether the time is to start the cool storage or not, and in the case where the time is to start the cool storage, it is determined which is selected, the stored cool amount limiting control mode or the arbitrary stored cool amount setting control mode. In the case where the arbitrary stored cool amount setting is selected, the set stored cool amount a is checked. Assuming that the cool storage completing water level for the stored cool amount of 100% is h, the cool storage completing water level for the stored cool amount a is given as ha=h× a.
- Then, the present water level is measured by the
water level sensor 10, and it is determined whether the following condition is met or not. - (Present water level hn)≧(Cool storage completing water level ha for stored cool amount a)
- In the case where this condition is satisfied, the cool storage operation is not carried out, while in the case where this condition fails to be met, the cool storage operation is carried out to accumulate to the set arbitrary amount of heat as indicated by the following equation.
- (Present water level hn)=(Cool storage completion water level ha for stored cool amount a)
- In the case where the stored cool amount limiting control mode is selected, on the other hand, the residual stored cool amount is checked. In the case where the residual stored cool exists, the present water level is measured by the
water level sensor 10 arranged in thecool storage tank 3 to check the air-conditioning load during the daytime by calculating the present stored cool amount, and the stored cool amount to be accumulated is determined. In the case where there is no residual stored cool, the cool storage operation is carried out for accumulating 100% of the stored cool mount. - According to this embodiment, the stored cool amount limiting control mode is selected for the air-conditioning equipment having the air-conditioning load not undergoing a great daily change, while the stored cool amount corresponding to the load can be secured by selecting the arbitrary stored cool amount setting control mode for the air-conditioning equipment with the daily air-conditioning load thereof known to increase or decrease. Thus, the stored cool amount is prevented from running short to such an extent that the air-conditioning load cannot be met and the air-conditioning operation becomes impossible. Also, it is possible to prevent deterioration of economy which would otherwise be caused by the increased power consumption due to an increased stored cool amount in spite of a small air-conditioning load.
- FIG. 5 shows a configuration of the operation panel according to an embodiment of the invention.
- In a liquid
crystal display screen 11, the setting screen, the operation information, etc. are classified into a upper menu, a middle menu and a lower menu, which are switched by depressing a DISPLAY/SET switching key 12. Each menu screen can be scrolled up by depressing anUP key 13 and scrolled down by depressing aDOWN key 14. - FIG. 6 shows the specifics of the liquid crystal display screen according to an embodiment of the invention.
- The selection and setting of the stored cool amount in six stages will be explained. First, set the cursor to VARIOUS SET from the upper menu, and the DISPLAY/
SET switching key 12 is depressed thereby to display the middle menu. From the middle menu thus displayed, the cursor is moved downward by theDOWN key 13, set to SET TIME, and the “DISPLAY/SET” switchingkey 12 is depressed thereby to display the lower menu. From the lower menu on display, the cursor is set to “CANCEL SUN” by theDOWN key 14 and the DISPLAY/SET switching key 12 is depressed. - An explanation given further about the setting of the cancellation of the cool storage operation and the air-conditioning operation on Sunday. For cancellation, the
UP key 13 and the DOWN key 14 are depressed to display “YES”, and the DISPLAY/SET switching key 12 is depressed. The “HEAT STORAGE OPERATION” is displayed. Setting the cursor to “COOL STORAGE OPERATION”, the DISPLAY/SET key 12 is depressed, followed by depressing theUP key 13 and the DOWN key 14 thereby to display ON. The DISPLAY/SET switching key 12 is depressed thereby to display “STORED COOL AMOUNT”, and the DISPLAY/SET switching key 12 is depressed again. Thus, the stored heat amount to be accumulated by the cool storage operation can be selected from the six stages of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 by depressing theUP key 13 and theDOWN key 14. - In the case where 60 is selected, for example, the stored cool amount accumulated by the cool storage operation on the cancellation day of the week is set to 60%. The setting is now over. To leave the screen, the DOWN key is depressed to set the cursor to RETURN displayed at the lowest position of each menu screen, and the DISPLAY/SET switching key12 is depressed. The menu screens are sequentially displayed in reverse way.
- According to the embodiment described above, the cool storage operation for accumulating the stored cool amount selectively set from the six stages for the set cancellation day of the week is made possible as a scheduled operation. When performing the operation for accumulating the stored cool amount selectively set from the six stages in preparation for the air-conditioning operation for the following day, the stored cool amount can be set in advance in accordance with the load, thereby avoiding the situation in which the air-conditioning operation is impossible due to the shortage of the load for the following day.
- Also, the operation for limiting the stored cool amount in accordance with the residual stored cool amount or the operation for storing an arbitrary set amount of cool can be selected for each day regardless whether it is a cancellation day of the week or not in a scheduled operation. In the case where an increase or decrease in the air-conditioning load for the following day can be predicted, it is possible to prevent the air-conditioning operation from failing due to the shortage of the load or the power consumption from being increased by excessive stored cool amount.
- It will thus be understood from the foregoing description that according to this invention, the stored cool amount can be set from the operation panel even for the day for which the air-conditioning operation is canceled, and therefore the required stored cool amount can be easily secured in accordance with the air-conditioning load for the following day. In this way, an insufficient stored cool amount and an excessive stored cool amount can be eliminated, which in turn suppresses the power consumption while at the same time making it possible conveniently to use the stored cool efficiently.
