You may comprise by these. In that case, it is possible to prevent water hammer due to sudden opening and closing of the flow path.

- the inlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger 15a or 15b is initially 13 ° C. and the outlet temperature is 7 ° C.
- the heat load in the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d is lowered and the inlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger 15a or 15b is lowered to 10 ° C. Then, if nothing is done, since the intermediate heat exchanger 15a or 15b exchanges approximately the same amount of heat, the intermediate heat exchanger 15a or 15b flows out from the intermediate heat exchanger 15a or 15b at 4 ° C., and this is repeated to determine the temperature of the heat medium. The temperature is steadily decreasing.
- the rotational speeds of the pumps 21a and 21b are changed according to changes in the heat load of the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d so that the heat medium outlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger 15a or 15b approaches the target value. And the flow rate of the heat medium flowing through the use side heat exchanger may be adjusted. In this way, when the thermal load is reduced, the rotational speed of the pump is reduced to save energy, and when the thermal load is increased, the rotational speed of the pump is increased to cover the thermal load.
- the pump 21b operates when a cooling load or a dehumidifying load is generated in any of the usage side heat exchangers 26a to 26d.

- the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant flows through the heat source side heat exchanger 12, and the heat source side heat exchanger 12 operates as an evaporator.
- a frosting phenomenon occurs in which frost adheres around the vessel 12.
- the heat exchange between the refrigerant and the air is inhibited, and the air path around the heat source side heat exchanger 12 is narrowed by the frost, so that the passing air volume is reduced.
- the heat exchange amount in the heat source side heat exchanger 12 is reduced, and the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant flowing inside the heat source side heat exchanger 12 is lowered accordingly, so that the operation efficiency of the refrigeration cycle is deteriorated.
- the air conditioner has a defrosting operation function for melting frost around the heat source side heat exchanger 12.
- This defrosting operation function is generally performed by switching the four-way valve 11 to the cooling side and sending high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant into the heat source side heat exchanger 12. The movement of the refrigerant and the heat medium during the defrosting operation is shown in FIG.
- the refrigerant moves in a similar manner to the cooling only operation. That is, the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 10, becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant, and is introduced into the heat source side heat exchanger 12 through the four-way valve 11.
- the refrigerant is condensed and liquefied there, flows out from the heat source device 1 through the check valve 13 a, and flows into the relay unit 3 through the refrigerant pipe 4.
- the refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 14, and is introduced into the intermediate heat exchanger 15b through the expansion valves 16e and 16a.
- the refrigerant is expanded by the expansion valve 16a to become a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, and the intermediate heat exchanger 15b acts as an evaporator to become a low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant.
- the defrosting operation requires energy for melting the frost, and therefore the frequency of the compressor 10 is set to a high frequency to some extent. Therefore, the refrigerant circulation amount and the cooling load are not balanced, and surplus refrigerant is generated. Therefore, the degree of opening of the expansion valve 16b is controlled and the surplus refrigerant is allowed to flow.
- the refrigerant that has passed through the expansion valve 16a and the intermediate heat exchanger 15b passes through the expansion valve 16c, merges with the refrigerant that has passed through the expansion valve 16b, flows out of the relay unit 3, and passes through the refrigerant pipe 4 again. Flows into 1.
- the refrigerant is sucked into the compressor 10 through the check valve 13 d and the four-way valve 11 and the accumulator 17.
- the expansion valve 16d has a small opening so that the refrigerant does not flow, and the expansion valve 16c is fully opened to prevent pressure loss.
- frost releases latent heat at 0 ° C. and melts into water at the time of melting.
- the refrigerant exchanges heat with frost at 0 ° C. in the heat source side heat exchanger 12, so the refrigerant cools to a temperature close to 0 ° C. in the heat source side heat exchanger 12 and flows out of the heat source side heat exchanger 12.
- the refrigerant that has flowed out of the heat source side heat exchanger 12 is sufficiently cooled to a temperature that can be used as a cooling heat source. Therefore, when there is a cooling demand in the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d, the refrigerant is used. It is circulated through the side heat exchangers 26a to 26d and used for cooling.
- the opening degree of the expansion valve 16a is set so as to prevent the refrigerant from flowing, and all the refrigerant flows through the expansion valve 16b.
- the movement of the secondary side heat medium (water, antifreeze, etc.) will be described.
- the intermediate heat exchanger 15b When there is a cooling load, in the intermediate heat exchanger 15b, the cold heat of the primary side refrigerant is transmitted to the secondary side heat medium, and the cooled heat medium is caused to flow in the secondary side pipe by the pump 21b. It is done.
- the heat medium exiting the pump 21b passes through the stop valves 24a to 24d through the flow path switching valves 22a to 22d, and flows into the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d and the flow rate adjusting valves 25a to 25d.
- the air conditioning load required indoors is such that the flow rate adjustment valves 25a to 25 are maintained so that the temperature difference between the use side heat exchanger inlet temperatures 33a to 33d and the use side heat exchanger outlet temperatures 34a to 34d is maintained at a target value. It can be covered by controlling 25d.
- the heat medium in the flow path passing through the heat medium heat exchanger 15a is heated to, for example, 50 ° C. by the heating operation before entering the defrosting operation. Therefore, the heated heat medium is caused to flow in the secondary pipe by the pump 21a.
- the heat medium exiting the pump 21a passes through the stop valves 24a to 24d through the flow path switching valves 22a to 22d, and flows into the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d and the flow rate adjusting valves 25a to 25d.
- the flow rate adjusting valves 25a to 25d only the heat medium having a flow rate necessary to cover the heating load required indoors is caused to flow to the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d, and the rest is the bypass 27a. It does not contribute to heat exchange through ⁇ 27d.
- the heat medium passing through the bypasses 27a to 27d merges with the heat medium passing through the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d, flows into the intermediate heat exchanger 15a through the flow path switching valves 23a to 23d, and pumps again. It is sucked into 21b.
- the air conditioning load required indoors can be covered by controlling so that the temperature difference between the third temperature sensors 33a to 33d and the fourth temperature sensors 34a to 34d is maintained at a target value.
- the intermediate heat exchanger 15a is not newly supplied with warm heat, so the temperature of the heat medium is lowered by the heating load in the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d.
- heating can be continued while the temperature of the heat medium is at a certain level or higher, for example, 35 ° C. or higher. Specific examples of the heating operation function during the defrosting operation will be described below.
- the temperature of the heat medium at the start of the defrosting operation is 50 ° C., and heating operation can be performed if it is 35 ° C. or more.
- the flow rate of the heat medium is 20 L per minute for each of the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d, and the heating load in the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d is the difference in the temperature of the heat medium inlet / outlet of each of the use side heat exchangers 26a to 26d. It is assumed that a value that can be just covered by adding 5 ° C. and that the amount of heat with a temperature difference of 5 ° C. is supplied at the entrance and exit of the intermediate heat exchanger 15a during the heating operation before the start of defrosting.
- the piping through which the heat medium circulates has a length that makes one round in one minute.
- the amount of heating in the intermediate heat exchanger 15a disappears, and thus the outlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger 15a decreases by 5 ° C. in one minute. Therefore, since the heating operation can be continued until the heat medium at the initial 50 ° C. reaches 35 ° C., that is, until the heat medium decreases by 15 ° C., the heating operation can be continued for a total of 3 minutes.
- the defrosting operation is completed after 3 minutes. That is, it is possible to cover heating during the defrosting operation only by circulation of the heat medium on the secondary side.
- the time during which the heat cannot be supplied to the room is only the time obtained by subtracting the time during which heating is performed only by circulation of the heat medium from the time of the defrosting operation.
- the decrease in room temperature can be greatly reduced.
- the flow rate of the heat medium may be reduced by lowering the rotational speed of the pump 21a than the operation state before entering the defrosting operation. For example, when the rotational speed is reduced to half that at the start of the defrosting operation, the heating operation can be continued for twice the time. By doing in this way, the time which stops heating operation during a defrost operation can be shortened, and indoor comfort improves compared with the case where heating operation is not performed at all.
- the operation of the pump 21a is performed.
- the capacity may be reduced or stopped.
- the set temperature is a lower limit temperature (heating limit temperature) at which heating operation can be performed, and may be determined as appropriate, but may be, for example, 30 to 35 ° C.
- This control may be performed by arranging a temperature sensor on the inlet side or the outlet side of the pump 21a and using the detected temperature.
- the operating side heat exchanger during operation may be thermo-off and stop, or conversely, thermo-on and start-up may be considered.
- the discharge capacity of the pump 21a may be determined according to the required heating capacity of the use side heat exchanger at that time.
- the required heating capacity of the use side heat exchanger is calculated based on the above equation (1) by installing a flow meter for measuring the flow rate of the heat medium flowing in the use side heat exchanger and measuring the flow rate of the heat medium. I can do things. Moreover, you may determine based on the capability code which shows the heat exchange capacity

- the valves 24c and 24d are closed.
- the control device 300 starts processing (ST0), it determines whether or not there is an indoor unit in cooling (or dehumidifying) operation or heating operation (ST1, ST3). If there is an indoor unit for cooling (or dehumidification) operation, the cooling-side pump 21b is operated (ST2).
- the flow path switching valves 22 and 23 corresponding to the indoor unit are switched to the intermediate heat exchanger 15a for heating (ST9), and the detected temperatures of the third temperature sensors 33a to 33d T1 and the detected temperature T2 of the fourth temperature sensors 34a to 34d are obtained, and a value obtained by subtracting T2 from T1 is set as ⁇ Tr (ST10).
- the flow path switching valves 22 and 23 corresponding to the indoor unit are switched to the cooling intermediate heat exchanger 15b (ST11), and the detected temperatures of the third temperature sensors 33a to 33d are switched.
- T1 and the detected temperature T2 of the fourth temperature sensors 34a to 34d are obtained, and a value obtained by subtracting T1 from T2 is set as ⁇ Tr (ST12).
- the opening degree (opening area) of the corresponding flow rate adjusting valves 25a to 25d is reduced (ST13, ST14), and the control target value Tmr
- the opening degree (opening area) of the corresponding flow rate adjusting valve 25a to 25d is increased (ST13, ST15), and ⁇ Tr is controlled so as to approach the control target value. Covers both heating and cooling loads.
- Trs may be set to 0 ° C. so that the stable range is not provided. However, providing the stable range reduces the number of times of control of the flow rate adjusting valves 25a to 25d and extends the life of the valve.
- the defrosting operation cold heat is supplied from the refrigerant to the intermediate heat exchanger 15b, but warm heat is not supplied from the refrigerant to the intermediate heat exchanger 15a, and therefore, the first temperature sensor 31a at the inlet of the pump 21a.
- the pump 21a is stopped (ST4, ST6).
- the heating operation is also stopped. Instead of stopping the pump 21a, the operating capacity may be reduced.
- the use side heat exchanger inlet / outlet temperature difference ⁇ Tr is brought closer to the control target.
- a predetermined heating limit temperature for example, 35 ° C.
- the heating limit temperature for stopping the heating operation by circulation of the heat medium during the defrosting operation is the detected temperature of the first temperature sensor 31a and the second temperature sensor 32a in addition to the temperature of the inlet or outlet of the pump 21a. Any of the detected temperature, the detected temperature of the third temperature sensors 33a to 33d, and the detected temperature of the fourth temperature sensors 34a to 34d may be used. However, since the detected temperatures of the fourth temperature sensors 34a to 34d vary depending on the control, it is more preferable to use the other three types of detected temperatures.

また、利用側熱交換器26a~26dの入口側に、流路を開閉する止め弁24a~24dを、利用側熱交換器26a~26dの出口側に、流量を調整する流量調整弁25a~25dを、それぞれ備えている。さらに、各利用側熱交換器26a~26dの入口側流路と出口側流路は、流量調整弁25a~25dを介してバイパス27a~27dで接続されている。

なお、これらの温度センサ及び圧力センサには、各種の温度計、温度センサ、圧力計、圧力センサが利用できる。
また、中間熱交換器15a、ポンプ21a、流路切替弁22a~22d、止め弁24a~24d、利用側熱交換器26a~26d、流量調整弁25a~25d、流路切替弁23a~23dが熱媒体循環回路を構成している。同様に、中間熱交換器15b、ポンプ21b、流路切替弁22a~22d、止め弁24a~24d、利用側熱交換器26a~26d、流量調整弁25a~25d、流路切替弁23a~23dが熱媒体循環回路を構成している。
なお、図示するように、各利用側熱交換器26a~26dは、中間熱交換器15aと中間熱交換器15bに対して、それぞれ並列に複数設けられて、それぞれに熱媒体循環回路を構成している。
図4は、全冷房運転時における冷媒および熱媒体の流れを示す回路図である。全冷房運転において、冷媒は、圧縮機10により圧縮され、高温高圧のガス冷媒になり、四方弁11を介して熱源側熱交換器12に入る。冷媒は、そこで凝縮されて液化し、逆止弁13aを通って熱源装置1から流出し、冷媒配管4を通って中継ユニット3へ流入する。中継ユニット3において、冷媒は、気液分離器14へ入り、膨張弁16eおよび16aを通って、中間熱交換器15bへ導入される。この際、膨張弁16aによって、冷媒は膨張させられて、低温低圧の二相冷媒となり、中間熱交換器15bは蒸発器として作用する。冷媒は、中間熱交換器15bにおいて低温低圧のガス冷媒となり、膨張弁16cを通って、中継ユニット3から流出し、冷媒配管4を通って再び熱源装置1へ流入する。熱源装置1において、冷媒は、逆止弁13dを通って、四方弁11、アキュムレータ17を介して、圧縮機10へ吸い込まれる。この時、膨張弁16b、16dは冷媒が流れないような小さい開度となっており、膨張弁16cは全開状態とし圧力損失が起きないようにしている。
図5は、全暖房運転時における冷媒および熱媒体の流れを示す回路図である。全暖房運転において、冷媒は、圧縮機10により圧縮され、高温高圧のガス冷媒になり、四方弁11を介して、逆止弁13b通って熱源装置1から流出し、冷媒配管4を通って中継ユニット3へ流入する。中継ユニット3において、冷媒は、気液分離器14を通って、中間熱交換器15aへ導入され、中間熱交換器15aにおいて凝縮されて液化し、膨張弁16dおよび16bを通って、中継ユニット3から流出する。この際、膨張弁16bによって、冷媒は膨張させられて、低温低圧の二相冷媒となり、冷媒配管4を通って再び熱源装置1へ流入する。熱源装置1において、冷媒は、逆止弁13cを通って、熱源側熱交換器12へ導入され、熱源側熱交換器12は蒸発器として作用する。冷媒は、そこで低温低圧のガス冷媒となり、四方弁11、アキュムレータ17を介して、圧縮機10へ吸い込まれる。この時、膨張弁16eと、膨張弁16a若しくは16cは、冷媒が流れないような小さい開度にしている。
図6は、冷房主体運転時における冷媒および熱媒体の流れを示す回路図である。冷房主体運転において、冷媒は、圧縮機10により圧縮され、高温高圧のガス冷媒になり、四方弁11を介して熱源側熱交換器12へ導入される。そこで、ガス状態の冷媒が凝縮して二相冷媒になり、二相状態にて熱源側熱交換器12から流出し、逆止弁13aを通って熱源装置1から流出し、冷媒配管4を通って中継ユニット3へ流入する。中継ユニット3において、冷媒は、気液分離器14へ入って、二相冷媒中のガス冷媒と液冷媒が分離され、ガス冷媒は、中間熱交換器15aへ導入され、中間熱交換器15aにおいて凝縮されて液化し、膨張弁16dを通る。一方、気液分離器14において分離された液冷媒は、膨張弁16eへ流され、中間熱交換器15aにて凝縮液化して膨張弁16dを通った液冷媒と合流し、膨張弁16aを通って、中間熱交換器15bへ導入される。この際、膨張弁16aによって、冷媒は膨張させられて、低温低圧の二相冷媒となり、中間熱交換器15bは蒸発器として作用する。冷媒は、中間熱交換器15bにて低温低圧のガス冷媒となり、膨張弁16cを通って、中継ユニット3を流出し、冷媒配管4を通って再び熱源装置1へ流入する。熱源装置1において、冷媒は、逆止弁13dを通って、四方弁11、アキュムレータ17を介して、圧縮機10へ吸い込まれる。この時、膨張弁16bは冷媒が流れないような小さい開度となっており、膨張弁16cは全開状態とし圧力損失が起きないようにしている。
図7は、暖房主体運転時における冷媒および熱媒体の流れを示す回路図である。暖房主体運転において、冷媒は、圧縮機10により圧縮され、高温高圧のガス冷媒になり、四方弁11を介して、逆止弁13b通って熱源装置1から流出し、冷媒配管4を通って中継ユニット3へ流入する。中継ユニット3において、冷媒は、気液分離器14を通って、中間熱交換器15aへ導入され、中間熱交換器15aにおいて凝縮されて液化する。その後、膨張弁16dを通った冷媒は、膨張弁16aを通る流路と膨張弁16bを通る流路に分けられる。膨張弁16aを通った冷媒は、膨張弁16aによって膨張させられて低温低圧の二相冷媒となり、中間熱交換器15bへ流入し、中間熱交換器15bは蒸発器として作用する。中間熱交換器15bを出た冷媒は、蒸発してガス冷媒となって、膨張弁16cを通る。一方、膨張弁16bを通った冷媒は、膨張弁16bによって膨張させられて低温低圧の二相冷媒となり、中間熱交換器15bおよび膨張弁16cを通った冷媒と合流して、より乾き度の大きい低温低圧の冷媒となる。そして、合流された冷媒は、中継ユニット3から流出し、冷媒配管4を通って再び熱源装置1へ流入する。熱源装置1において、冷媒は、逆止弁13cを通って、熱源側熱交換器12へ導入され、熱源側熱交換器12は蒸発器として作用する。そこで、低温低圧の二相冷媒が蒸発されてガス冷媒となり、四方弁11、アキュムレータ17を介して、圧縮機10へ吸い込まれる。この時、膨張弁16eは冷媒が流れないような小さい開度としている。
また、中間熱交換器15aの出入口の温度を検出する、第一の温度センサ31aまたは第二の温度センサ32aの少なくとも一方の検出温度が、予め定めた設定温度以下になったら、ポンプ21aの運転容量を減少させるまたは停止させるようにしてもよい。なお、上記設定温度は暖房運転が可能な下限温度(暖房限界温度)であり、適宜定めて良いが、例えば30~35℃とすることができる。この制御は、ポンプ21aの入口側または出口側に温度センサを配して、その検出温度を利用して行ってもよい。
制御装置300は処理を開始すると(ST0)、冷房(又は除湿)運転、あるいは暖房運転の室内機の有無を判断する(ST1、ST3)。冷房(又は除湿)運転の室内機がある場合は、冷房側のポンプ21bを運転する(ST2)。暖房運転の室内機がある場合は、熱媒体の温度が予め定めた暖房限界温度以上であることを確認して(ST4)、暖房側のポンプ21aを運転する(ST5)。そして、関係する室内機について、番号1から順に全ての室内機の状態を確認する(ST7、ST16、ST17)。なお、図中の「n」は室内機の番号を示す。室内機が暖房運転の場合(ST8)、その室内機に対応する流路切替弁22、23を暖房用の中間熱交換器15aに切り替え(ST9)、第三の温度センサ33a~33dの検出温度T1と、第四の温度センサ34a~34dの検出温度T2を求め、T1からT2を減じた値を△Trと置く(ST10)。一方、室内機が冷房運転の場合は、その室内機に対応する流路切替弁22、23を冷房用の中間熱交換器15bに切り替え(ST11)、第三の温度センサ33a~33dの検出温度T1と、第四の温度センサ34a~34dの検出温度T2を求め、T2からT1を減じた値を△Trと置く(ST12)。そして、制御目標値Tmrと△Trの温度差が安定範囲Trsよりも大きい場合は、対応する流量調整弁25a~25dの開度(開口面積)を減らし(ST13、ST14)、制御目標値Tmrと△Trの温度差が安定範囲Trs以下の場合は、対応する流量調整弁25a~25dの開度(開口面積)を増やし(ST13、ST15)、△Trを制御目標値に近づけるように制御して、暖房負荷、冷房負荷のそれぞれを賄う。
なお、Trsを0℃とし、安定範囲を設けないようにしてもよいが、安定範囲を設けた方が流量調整弁25a~25dの制御回数が減り、弁の寿命が延びる。
図10は、この発明の実施の形態2に係る空気調和装置の冷媒及び熱媒体用回路図である。実施の形態2の空気調和装置は、流量調整弁25a~25dとして二方流量調整弁を用い、止め弁24a~24dを省いた点を除いて、実施の形態1の空気調和装置と同じである。この二方流量調整弁としては、例えば、ステッピングモータ等により開口面積を連続的に変化させられる二方流量調整弁を用いる。二方流量調整弁の制御は三方流量調整弁の場合と類似であり、二方流量調整弁の開度を調整して、利用側熱交換器26a~26dへ流入させる流量を制御し、利用側熱交換器26a~26dの前後の温度差が目標値、例えば5℃、になるように制御する。その上で、中間熱交換器15a、15bの入口側または出口側の温度が、目標値になるようにポンプ21a、21bの回転数を制御する。流量調整弁25a~25dとして二方流量調整弁を用いると、それを流路の開閉にも用いることができるため、止め弁24a~24dが不要になり、安価にシステムを構築できるというメリットがある。
