Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigeration apparatus.
  • refrigerator oil used for air-conditioning apparatuses and other refrigeration apparatuses has contained substances for suppressing deterioration of the refrigerator oil and corrosion of expansion valves caused by in hydrofluoric acid and other acids produced by refrigerant decomposition.
  • Patent Literature 1 Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 2001-226690
  • at least 0.05 wt % of an acid scavenger is added.
  • R134a which is tetrafluoroethane
  • R410A and R407C which are mixed refrigerants
  • fluorine-based refrigerants do not contain chlorine and therefore have little effect of destroying the ozone layer, they strongly impact global warming due to the greenhouse effect.
  • R32 represented by the molecular formula CH 2 F 2 , has recently been attracting attention as a fluorine-based refrigerant having a low global warming potential.
  • R32 is less stable and, by being exposed to high-temperature environments or being mixed with air and water, decomposes more readily and produces more hydrofluoric acid and other acids by decomposing. There is a risk that the acid produced by refrigerant decomposition will cause the refrigerator oil used in the refrigeration apparatus to degrade, and will corrode expansion valves and other components.
  • Patent Literature 1 Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 2001-226690
  • refrigerator oil deterioration and expansion valve corrosion cannot be suppressed even if 0.05 wt % of an acid scavenger is added to the R32.
  • the expansion valve may be made of brass or stainless steel, but the corrosion thereof cannot be sufficiently suppressed even when a highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel expansion valve is used.
  • R32 also has poorer compatibility with refrigerator oil than other fluorine-based refrigerants, causing the refrigerant and the oil to separate more readily.
  • the refrigerant and the oil separate readily, only poorly lubricating refrigerant is supplied to the sliding parts of a compressor configuring the air-conditioning apparatus, whereby the sliding parts of the compressor produce abnormal amounts of heat, facilitating the production of acid by refrigerant decomposition.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a highly reliable refrigeration apparatus in which refrigerator oil deterioration and expansion valve corrosion are suppressed.
  • a refrigeration apparatus comprises a compressor, a condenser, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator.
  • the amount of air mixed into the refrigeration apparatus is controlled to 500 ppm or less relative to the amount of filled refrigerant.
  • the amount of water mixed into the refrigeration apparatus is controlled to 300 ppm or less relative to the amount of filled refrigerant.
  • the discharged-gas temperature of the refrigeration apparatus is controlled to 120° C. or less.
  • the amount of filled refrigerant is the amount of refrigerant with which the refrigerant circuit of the refrigeration apparatus is filled.
  • the discharged-gas temperature is the temperature of high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor.
  • a refrigerant containing R32 and refrigerator oil for lubricating the compressor are used in the refrigeration apparatus.
  • An acid scavenger added in an amount of 1.0 to 5.0 wt % is blended in the refrigerator oil.
  • the refrigeration apparatus uses a refrigerant containing R32 represented by the molecular formula CH 2 F 2 .
  • the refrigerant containing R32 is either R32 alone or a mixture refrigerant containing R32.
  • Such an R32-based refrigerant has a lower global warming potential than R410A, R407C, and other fluorine-based refrigerants, but produces a greater amount of hydrofluoric acid and other acids on decomposing. Therefore, an R32-based refrigerant more readily causes refrigerator oil deterioration due to the refrigeration apparatus running for a long time, and corrosion of the expansion valve and other components provided to the refrigeration apparatus.
  • the acid scavenger contained in the refrigerator oil has the effect of scavenging the acid produced by refrigerant decomposition. Because the acid scavenger is only added in an amount of 5.0 wt % or less, decreases in the lubrication performance of the refrigerator oil due to excess acid scavenger are suppressed. Therefore, the refrigeration apparatus according to the first aspect can suppress refrigerator oil deterioration and expansion valve corrosion.
  • a refrigeration apparatus is the refrigeration apparatus according to the first aspect, wherein the acid scavenger added in an amount of 2.0 to 5.0 wt % is blended in the refrigerator oil.
  • the amount of acid scavenger added to the refrigerator oil used by the refrigeration apparatus according to the second aspect is at least 2.0 wt %, refrigerator oil deterioration and expansion valve corrosion are more effectively suppressed.
  • a refrigeration apparatus is the refrigeration apparatus according to the first or second aspect, wherein the expansion mechanism has an expansion valve, and fluorine, which is a decomposition product of the refrigerant adhering to the expansion valve, is detected in an amount of 6.0 wt % or less.
  • the refrigeration apparatus according to the third aspect has a small amount of fluorine as a refrigerant decomposition product adhering to the expansion valve after operation, refrigerator oil deterioration and expansion valve corrosion are more effectively suppressed.
  • a refrigeration apparatus is the refrigeration apparatus according to any of the first through third aspects, wherein an extreme pressure agent is further blended with the refrigerator oil.
  • the refrigerator oil used by the refrigeration apparatus according to the fourth aspect contains the extreme pressure agent.
  • the R32-based refrigerant is used in a state of higher pressure than would be R410A. R407C, and other fluorine-based refrigerants. Therefore, the load imposed on the sliding parts of the compressor which compresses the R32-based refrigerant readily increases, and abrasion and burning readily occur due to a thinner coating of the refrigerator oil formed between sliding member surfaces.
  • the extreme pressure agent is an additive for preventing abrasion and burning of the sliding parts of the compressor of the refrigeration apparatus, by reacting with the sliding member surfaces and forming a coating in the compressor. Therefore, the refrigeration apparatus according to the fourth aspect can more effectively suppress abrasion and burning of the sliding parts.
  • a refrigeration apparatus is the refrigeration apparatus according to any of the first through fourth aspects, wherein an antioxidant is further blended with the refrigerator oil.
  • the refrigerator oil used by the refrigeration apparatus according to the fifth aspect contains an antioxidant.
  • the antioxidant is an additive for suppressing oxidation of the refrigerant and/or the oil due to oxygen. Therefore, the refrigeration apparatus according to the fifth aspect can more effectively suppress refrigerator oil deterioration and expansion valve corrosion.
  • a refrigeration apparatus is the refrigeration apparatus according to any of the first through fifth aspects, wherein the refrigerator oil contains polyvinyl ether oil.
  • a refrigeration apparatus is the refrigeration apparatus according to any of the first through fifth aspects, wherein the refrigerator oil contains polyol ester oil.
  • a refrigeration apparatus is the refrigeration apparatus according to any of the first through seventh aspects, wherein the refrigerant contains at least 60 wt % of R32.
  • a refrigeration apparatus is the refrigeration apparatus according to any of the first through eighth aspects, wherein the refrigerator oil is one in which there is no separation in a mixture with the refrigerant during startup.
  • the mixture of the refrigerant and the refrigerator oil used by the refrigeration apparatus according to the ninth aspect does not separate into two layers of the refrigerator oil and the refrigerant during startup of the refrigeration apparatus. Therefore, the decomposition of refrigerant separated from the mixture of the refrigerant and the refrigerator oil and the production of acid are prevented.
  • a refrigeration apparatus is the refrigeration apparatus according to the ninth aspect, wherein the temperature at which separation occurs in the mixture for which the oil concentration is the minimum value is ⁇ 35° C. or greater, and is also less than the temperature of the mixture when the oil concentration is the minimum value.
  • the oil concentration is the concentration of the refrigerator oil contained in the mixture of the refrigerator oil and the refrigerant. During startup of the refrigeration apparatus, the oil concentration exhibits the minimum value in the process during which the temperature of the mixture rises.
  • the refrigeration apparatus can suppress refrigerator oil deterioration and expansion valve corrosion, and can also suppress decreases in the lubrication performance of the refrigerator oil due to an excess of the acid scavenger.
  • the refrigeration apparatus according to the second, third, and fifth aspects of the present invention can more effectively suppress refrigerator oil deterioration and expansion valve corrosion.
  • the refrigeration apparatus according to the fourth aspect of the present invention can more effectively suppress abrasion and burning of the sliding parts.
  • the refrigeration apparatus can prevent the decomposition of refrigerant separated from the mixture of the refrigerant and the refrigerator oil and the production of acid.
