Further, both end portions of the heat storage heat exchanger 34 are supported and fixed through the seal member 50 while maintaining airtightness with the lid 48.
- the heat storage material 36 is filled with about 80% of the maximum volume of the heat storage tank 32 at room temperature.
- the heat storage tank 32 is formed in a shape in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the compressor 6 and is molded from a resin material.
- the lid 48 is also molded from a resin material. As shown in FIG. 8, the lid 48 is formed with a fitting groove 49 along the outer periphery of the lid 48. A packing 37 is provided and fitted with the heat storage tank 32 to ensure airtightness. A groove 52 is provided in the fitting groove 49 provided on the outer periphery of the lid 48. The length of the groove 52 is configured to be 80% or more of the entire circumference of the heat storage tank 32. One end of the groove 52 is opened inside the heat storage tank 32, and the other end is opened to the atmosphere. (See FIG. 7).
- the heat storage device 31 accumulates the heat generated in the compressor 6 during the heating operation in the heat storage material 36, and the indoor heat in the second pipe 20 is transferred from the normal heating operation to the defrosting / heating operation.
- a part of the liquid refrigerant divided between the exchanger 16 and the strainer 10 is for absorbing heat from the heat storage material 36 by the heat storage heat exchanger 34 and evaporating and vaporizing, so that it is generated in the compressor 6. The higher the heat absorption efficiency and the heat retention efficiency, the better.
- the heat storage tank 32 is made of resin, it is difficult to dissipate heat compared to a metal having a high thermal conductivity, and the heat retention efficiency can be increased. Further, in order to increase the heat absorption efficiency, a sheet 35 having excellent heat transfer performance is interposed between the compressor 6 and the heat storage tank 32 to be in close contact therewith. Here, by providing a plurality of communication holes in the sheet 52, it is possible to prevent the thermal conductivity from being lowered by discharging this even if air is caught during assembly.
- the heat-transfer part 54 (refer FIG. 5) of the thermal storage tank 32 is formed with resin with high thermal conductivity containing carbon, metal powder, etc.
- the heat absorption efficiency of the thermal storage device 31 can be further improved.
- the heat storage tank 32 may be formed by first molding the heat transfer section 54 with a high thermal conductivity resin and then secondary molding with a general resin that is not high thermal conductivity. The whole may be formed by primary molding with a general resin, and at the same time, carbon or metal powder may be mixed only in the heat transfer section 54. The same effect can be obtained even if the heat transfer section 54 is made of a metal plate having a high thermal conductivity.
- the heat storage material 36 containing water as a component is used as in the heat storage device 31 according to the present invention, it is necessary to take measures against an increase in the internal pressure of the heat storage tank 32 due to steam simultaneously with the suppression of water evaporation.
- the groove 52 is disposed in the fitting groove 49 provided on the outer periphery of the lid 48, and one end of the groove 52 is opened inside the heat storage tank 32, Since the other end is open to the atmosphere, the vaporized vapor in the heat storage tank 32 passes through the groove 52 and is released to the atmosphere to suppress an increase in pressure. Moreover, the evaporation amount of the heat storage material 36 is suppressed by setting the opening area of the groove 52 small.
- the groove 52 allows the inside of the heat storage tank 32 to communicate with the atmosphere (outside), for example, when the heat storage device 31 is inclined, the heat storage material 36 enters the groove 52 and leaks to the outside.
- the groove 52 is configured along the outer periphery of the heat storage tank 32 with substantially the entire circumference of the heat storage tank 32, preferably 80% or more of the entire circumference. Even if the heat storage material 36 enters the inclined groove 52 by the device 31, the liquid level in the groove 52 is physically balanced with the liquid level in the heat storage tank 32 at any position. The heat storage material 36 does not leak to the outside without reaching the opening to the atmosphere.
- the thermal storage tank 32 is comprised by the horseshoe shape, said view is not restricted to the shape of a thermal storage tank. Further, even if the groove 52 is constituted by a capillary tube and disposed along the outer periphery of the heat storage tank 32, the same effect as described above can be obtained.
- leakage of the heat storage material can be prevented, for example, when the heat storage device 31 is incorporated in an air conditioner or when the heat storage device 31 is tilted when the air conditioner is transported or installed.
- the heat storage device 31 forms the fitting groove 49 in the lid 48, arranges the groove 52 in the fitting groove 49, and provides the packing 37 in the fitting groove 49.
- the heat storage tank 32 is fitted to ensure airtightness.
- the groove 52 can be easily disposed, and at the same time, the lid 48 can be attached and detached, and the assembly and serviceability of the heat storage tank 32 can be improved.
- the lid 48 by molding the lid 48 with a resin material, the processing of the groove 48 is facilitated, and the heat storage device 31 can be realized at low cost.
- the fitting groove 49 and the groove 52 are provided in the lid 48, but these may be provided in the heat storage tank 32.
- the heat storage device relates to accumulating waste heat generated in a compressor in a heat storage material, and is useful for an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a water heater, a heat pump washing machine, and the like.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明に係る蓄熱装置を備えた空気調和機の構成を示しており、空気調和機は、冷媒配管で互いに接続された室外機2と室内機4とで構成されている。
上述したように、蓄熱装置31は、暖房運転時に圧縮機6で発生した熱を蓄熱材36に蓄積し、通常暖房運転から除霜・暖房運転に移行したときに、第2配管20における室内熱交換器16とストレーナ10の間で分流した液相冷媒の一部が、蓄熱熱交換器34で蓄熱材36から吸熱し蒸発、気相化するためのものであることから、圧縮機6で発生した熱の吸熱効率および保温効率が高いほど好ましい。
