- an expansion mechanism is used instead of an expansion valve, and in the process of refrigerant expansion, the pressure energy is recovered in the form of power by the expansion mechanism, and only the recovered amount is recovered.
- a power recovery type refrigeration cycle apparatus that reduces the electric power required to drive the compression mechanism.
- an expander-integrated compressor in which an electric motor, a compression mechanism, and an expansion mechanism are connected by a shaft is used.
- the compression mechanism and the expansion mechanism are connected by a shaft, so that the ratio of the suction refrigerant density of the compression mechanism and the suction refrigerant density of the expansion mechanism is the ratio of the respective suction volumes.
- the ratio is fixed. For this reason, depending on the operating conditions, the displacement amount of the compression mechanism may be insufficient or the displacement amount of the expansion mechanism may be insufficient.

It serves to adjust the pressure on the high pressure side of the refrigeration cycle (hereinafter also simply referred to as “high pressure”).
- high pressure the high pressure side of the refrigeration cycle

- point C The refrigerant at point C is further compressed and reaches point D.
- the above is the operation of the refrigerant when the injection is executed.
- the amount of enthalpy increase when the refrigerant sucked into the second compression mechanism 21 is compressed to the intermediate pressure Pm is a, and the refrigerant after joining the injected refrigerant is compressed to a predetermined pressure.
- the amount of enthalpy increase in this case is c.

Furthermore, the control means 8 performs the injection operation when it becomes necessary to temporarily increase the heat dissipation capability during the steady operation. A flowchart of the injection operation is shown in FIG.
- the control means 8 determines whether or not the required load Qm [kW] is equal to or greater than a predetermined value Q1 [kW] (step S1).
- the required load Qm is determined by the user set temperature and the hot water temperature in the hot water storage tank when the user sets the hot water temperature with a remote controller or the like. It can be obtained from the difference. If the difference between the user set temperature and the hot water temperature in the hot water storage tank is doubled, the required load is also doubled.
- the predetermined value Q1 may be the maximum heating capacity by the radiator 4 when no injection is performed, for example.
- the control means 8 compares Qm with Q1 again. When the required load Qm is equal to or greater than the predetermined value Q1 (YES in step S1), the control means 8 opens the on-off valve 71 (step S2). At this time, the opening degree of the on-off valve 71 is preferably fully opened. If the opening degree of the on-off valve 71 is controlled, the heating capacity can be controlled by arbitrarily adjusting the injection flow rate (flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the injection passage 7). This is because loss occurs and the effect of improving the heat dissipation capability by the injection is reduced.
- the control means 8 determines the appropriate pressure (optimum pressure) for the refrigerant to be guided to the radiator 4 through the first pipe 3a from the incoming water temperature detected by the incoming water temperature sensor 82 and the outside air temperature detected by the outside air temperature sensor 81. ) Pa is calculated (step S3). Then, the control means 8 opens the 1st flow control valve 61 to a predetermined opening degree (step S4). Then, the gas refrigerant separated by the gas-liquid separator 62 is injected into the second compression mechanism 21 of the sub compressor 2, and the injection is started. Note that the predetermined opening of the first flow control valve 61 is measured in advance in an experiment to obtain an appropriate pressure Pa and stored in the memory of the control means 8 in correspondence with the outside air temperature or the like. You may keep it.
- step S6 the process proceeds to step S8, and the control means 8 maintains that state until the required load Qm becomes less than the specified value Q1. Thereafter, when the required load Qm becomes less than the predetermined value Q1, the control means 8 closes the on-off valve 71 and the first flow rate control valve 61 (step S9) and returns to the steady operation.
- the amount of refrigerant circulating through the radiator 4 can be increased by injection into the second compression mechanism 21.
- the heat dissipation capability can be temporarily increased while keeping the COP high.
- This injection into the second compressor 21 can increase the heating capacity of the radiator 4 by about 4% without increasing the rotational speeds of the first motor 12 and the second motor 22. For example, if the heating capacity of the radiator 4 when the injection is not executed is 5 kW, the heating capacity can be improved to 5.2 kW by executing the injection.
- the temperature difference between the refrigerant sent from the expander-integrated compressor 1 to the first pipe 3a and the refrigerant sent from the sub compressor 2 to the first pipe 3a is reduced. can do. As a result, it is possible to increase the heat dissipation capability in a rather improved state without impairing the stability of the refrigeration cycle.
- the on-off valve 71 is provided in the injection path 7, if the first flow control valve 61 is opened with the on-off valve 71 closed, the heat energy of the refrigerant on the high-pressure side is passed to the evaporator 5.
- a defrosting operation for melting the attached frost can be performed.
- a fixed throttle is used as the second flow control valve 63, but an expansion valve may be used as the second flow control valve 63.
- a second pressure sensor (second pressure detecting means) 92 for detecting the pressure in the gas-liquid separator 62 is provided as in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 100A of the modification shown in FIG.
- the opening degree of the second flow control valve 63 may be adjusted by the control means 8 so that the intermediate pressure Pm detected at 92 is equal to or higher than the predetermined pressure Pb.
- the pressure sensor 92 is provided between the first flow control valve 61 and the gas-liquid separator 62 in the bypass path 6.
- a refrigerant temperature sensor 84 for detecting the refrigerant temperature in the gas-liquid separator 62 is provided, and the intermediate pressure Pm is determined from the refrigerant temperature detected by the refrigerant temperature sensor 84. May be estimated by the control means 8, and the opening degree of the second flow rate control valve 63 may be adjusted by the control means 8 so that the estimated intermediate pressure Pm is equal to or higher than the predetermined pressure Pb. Since the refrigerant flowing through the bypass 6 is depressurized by the first flow control valve 61 to change from the supercritical state to the gas-liquid two-phase state, the intermediate pressure Pm is estimated from the refrigerant temperature in the gas-liquid separator 62. Can do.
- a refrigerant temperature sensor (refrigerant temperature detection means) 83 that detects the temperature of the refrigerant guided to the radiator 4 through the first pipe 3a is provided in the main pipe of the first pipe 3a.
- the control means 8 calculates the refrigerant pressure introduced to the radiator 4 from the refrigerant temperature detected by the refrigerant temperature sensor 83 and the outside air temperature detected by the outside air temperature sensor 81, that is, the high pressure Pd of the refrigeration cycle.
- the opening degree of the first flow control valve 61 is adjusted so that the calculated high pressure Pd becomes the appropriate pressure Pa.
- the flowchart in this case is the same as that shown in FIG. 3 except that step S5 is changed to a step for calculating Pd. In this way, since the temperature sensor is less expensive than the pressure sensor, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
- the refrigeration cycle apparatus of the present invention is useful as means for recovering power by recovering expansion energy of refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle.
