本発明の一実施形態に係る冷凍装置として、空気調和装置に用いられている冷凍装置について説明する。図1は、空気調和装置の概要を示す回路図である。空気調和装置1は、室外ユニット2と室内ユニット3とで構成される。この空気調和装置1は、蒸気圧縮式の冷凍サイクル運転を行うことによって建物内の各室の冷暖房に使用される装置である。空気調和装置1は、熱源ユニットとしての室外ユニット2と、利用ユニットとしての室内ユニット3と、室外ユニット2と室内ユニット3とを接続する冷媒連絡管6,7とを備えている。
室外ユニット2と室内ユニット3と冷媒連絡管6,7とを接続して構成される空気調和装置1において、冷凍装置は、圧縮機11、四路切換弁12、室外熱交換器13、膨張弁14、室内熱交換器4及びアキュムレータ15などが冷媒配管で接続された構成を有している。この冷凍装置内には冷媒が封入されており、冷媒が圧縮され、冷却され、減圧され、加熱・蒸発された後に、再び圧縮されるという冷凍サイクル運転が行われるようになっている。運転時には、冷媒連絡管6,7に接続されている室外ユニット2の液冷媒側閉鎖弁17及びガス冷媒側閉鎖弁18は、開状態にされる。
暖房運転時は、四路切換弁12が図1の破線で示される状態、すなわち、圧縮機11の吐出側がガス冷媒側閉鎖弁18及び冷媒連絡管7を介して室内熱交換器4のガス側に接続され、かつ、圧縮機11の吸入側が室外熱交換器13のガス側に接続された状態となっている。暖房運転では、空気調和装置1は、室内熱交換器4を圧縮機11において圧縮される冷媒の凝縮器として、かつ、室外熱交換器13を室内熱交換器4において凝縮された冷媒の蒸発器として機能させる。
(2-1)室内ユニット
室内ユニット3は、室内の壁面に壁掛け等により、又は、ビル等の室内の天井に埋め込みや吊り下げ等により設置される。室内ユニット3は、室内熱交換器4と、室内ファン5とを有している。室内熱交換器4は、例えば伝熱管と多数のフィンとにより構成されたクロスフィン式のフィン・アンド・チューブ型熱交換器であり、冷房運転時には冷媒の蒸発器として機能して室内空気を冷却し、暖房運転時には冷媒の凝縮器として機能して室内空気を加熱する熱交換器である。
室外ユニット2は、ビル等の室外に設置されており、冷媒連絡管6,7を介して室内に設置される室内ユニット3に接続される。室外ユニット2は、図2及び図3に示されているように、略直方体状のユニットケーシング20を備えている。図3に示されているように、室外ユニット2は、ユニットケーシング20の内部空間を鉛直方向に延びる仕切板28で二つに分割することによって送風機室S1と機械室S2とを形成した構造(いわゆる、トランク型構造)を有するものである。送風機室S1には、図3に示されているように、室外熱交換器13及び室外ファン16などが配置される。また、機械室S2には、図3に示されている圧縮機11やアキュムレータ15及び、図3では図示を省略されている四路切換弁12や膨張弁14や液冷媒側閉鎖弁17やガス冷媒側閉鎖弁18などが配置される。
室外熱交換器13は、送風機室側側板23と送風機室側前板25と仕切板28と機械室側側板24の一部分とで覆われた空間である送風機室S1に上下方向(鉛直方向)に立てて配置されている。この室外熱交換器13は、平面視においてL字型の形状を有しており、吸入口20a,20bに対向している。室外熱交換器13は、アルミニウム製の熱交換器である。アルミニウム製の室外熱交換器13は、腐蝕を防止するために、後述するアルミニウム製のブラケットなどによって、鋼板製の天板21、底板22、送風機室側側板23、機械室側側板24及び仕切板28などに直接接触しないようにユニットケーシング20に取り付けられている。室外熱交換器13は、一端が四路切換弁12に接続されており、その他端が膨張弁14に接続されている。
次に、図4、図5及び図6を用いて室外熱交換器13の構成について詳細に説明する。アルミニウム製の熱交換器は、アルミニウム製の伝熱フィン32とアルミニウム製の扁平多穴管33とアルミニウム製のヘッダ集合管34,35により構成されている。室外熱交換器13は、室外空気と冷媒との熱交換を行わせる熱交換部31を備えており、この熱交換部31がアルミニウム製の多数の伝熱フィン32とアルミニウム製の多数の扁平多穴管33とで構成されている。熱交換部31は、凝縮器として機能するときに、多数の扁平多穴管33のうちガス冷媒あるいは気液二層状態の冷媒を流すためのガス冷媒用扁平多穴管33aが配置されている上部熱交換部31aと、多数の扁平多穴管33のうち気液二層状態の冷媒あるいは液冷媒を流すための液冷媒用扁平多穴管33bが接続される下部熱交換部31bとを有している。
室外熱交換器13は、熱交換部31の両端に各1本設けられたアルミニウム製のヘッダ集合管34,35を備えている。ヘッダ集合管34は、アルミニウム製の円筒パイプ構造を有しており、アルミニウム製のバッフル34cによって互いに仕切られた内部空間34a,34bを有している。上部の内部空間34aには、アルミニウム製の熱交換器側ガス管38が接続され、下部の内部空間34bには、アルミニウム製の熱交換器側液管39が接続されている。
ヘッダ集合管35は、アルミニウム製の円筒パイプ構造を有しており、アルミニウム製のバッフル35f,35g,35h,35iによって仕切られ、内部空間35a,35b,35c,35d,35eが形成されている。ヘッダ集合管34の上部の内部空間34aに接続される多数のガス冷媒用扁平多穴管33aは、ヘッダ集合管35の3つの内部空間35a,35b,35cに接続されている。また、ヘッダ集合管34の下部の内部空間34bに接続される多数の液冷媒用扁平多穴管33bは、ヘッダ集合管35の3つの内部空間35c,35d,35eに接続されている。
図7は、送風機室側側板23の拡大側面図である。鋼板製の送風機室側側板23の吸入口20bの前側にネジ穴23a,23bが形成されている。これらネジ穴23a、23bにねじ込まれる鉄製の雄ネジ80(図16参照)などによってアルミニウム製のブラケット40,50が固定され、アルミニウム製のブラケット40,50にロウ付けされているアルミニウム製のヘッダ集合管35が固定される。
図8には、室外熱交換器13を送風機室側側板23に取り付けるためのアルミニウム製のブラケット40が示されている。図8(a)はアルミニウム製のブラケット40の斜視図であり、図8(b)はブラケット40の平面図であり、図8(c)はブラケット40の正面図であり、図8(d)はブラケット40の側面図である。
ブラケット40は、例えば、一枚のアルミニウム板をプレス加工して形成される。ブラケット40の本体部41からは、室外熱交換器13のヘッダ集合管35に取り付けられる挟持片42が2本延びている。挟持片42は、円筒状のヘッダ集合管35の外周に沿うように円弧状に成形されている。ブラケット40において挟持片42とは反対の側に2枚の取付片43が延びている。取付片43には、送風機室側側板23などへの取り付けの際にネジを通すための貫通穴43aが設けられている。貫通穴43aは、m1×n1の長円穴である。ブラケット40と樹脂カバー60との位置決めを行うために、取付片43に、上辺端部の一部が切り欠かれて形成されている被嵌合部43bが設けられている。本体部41には、凹状に成形されたセンサ保持部44が設けられている。このセンサ保持部44の形状は、筒状の穴44aとスリット44bを形成していると見ることができる。ヘッダ集合管35に対向する側に形成されているスリット44bは、センサ保持部44に保持される温度センサをヘッダ集合管35に接触させるためのものである。
ブラケット40が取り付けられているのは、図5に示した内部空間35aの周囲である。ブラケット40のセンサ保持部44とヘッダ集合管35で形成される円筒状の穴の内寸が温度センサ19(図9参照)のケース54の外寸よりも少し小さく形成されている。温度センサ19をケース54に強く押し込むことによって円筒状の穴の中に固定される。
図10にはアルミニウム製のブラケット50が示されており、図10(a)にはその斜視図が示され、図10(b)にはその平面図が示され、図10(c)にはその正面図が示され、図10(d)にはその側面図が示されている。ブラケット50も、ブラケット40と同様に、例えば、一枚のアルミニウム板をプレス加工して形成される。ブラケット50はブラケット40と形状は異なるが、ブラケット40と同様の構成、つまり本体部51と挟持片52と取付片53とを有している。また、取付片43の貫通穴43aとは開口されている位置が異なるが、取付片53にも貫通穴53aが形成されている。これら貫通穴53aもm1×n1の長円穴である。ブラケット40と樹脂カバー60との位置決めを行うために、取付片53に、端部の一部が切り欠かれて形成されている被嵌合部53bが設けられている。ブラケット50には温度センサ19が取り付けられないため、センサ保持部44のような構成はブラケット50に形成されていない。
ブラケット40,50がアルミニウム製であるため、鋼板でできた送風機室側側板23にブラケット40を直接接触させると、イオン化傾向の異なる金属である鉄とアルミニウムの接触に起因してブラケット40,50の腐蝕が促進される。そこで、図11、図12及び図13に示されている樹脂カバー60がブラケット40,50には取り付けられ、送風機室側側板23とブラケット40,50の間に樹脂カバー60が介在した状態でブラケット40,50が取り付けられる。図11(a)は樹脂カバーの平面図、図11(b)は樹脂カバーの正面図、図11(c)は樹脂カバーの底面図である。図12(a)は樹脂カバーの左側面図、図12(b)は樹脂カバーの背面図、図12(c)は樹脂カバーの右側面図である。また、図13(a)は図12(b)におけるI-I線矢視断面図、図13(b)は図12(b)におけるII-II線矢視断面図、図13(c)は図12(c)におけるIII-III線矢視部分拡大断面図である。
ブラケット40と樹脂カバー60との位置決めを行うために、挿入部62,63に、天面の一部から突出した嵌合突起62c,63cが設けられている。これら嵌合突起62c,63cがブラケット40,50の取付片43,53の被嵌合部43b,53bに嵌ることによってブラケット40,50と樹脂カバー60との前後方向の位置関係が定まる。一方、ブラケット40,50で互いに形状が異なる取付片43,53は、上面と背面と左右側面が囲まれた挿入部63に挿入される。挿入部63が正面と底面の2箇所を開放することで対外に形状の異なる取付片43,53に対応できるようになっている。そして、挿入部62や挿入部63に挿入された取付片43,53は、それらの左右側面が樹脂カバー60で覆われることになる。そのため、樹脂カバー60の側面側に位置する送風機室側側板23と取付片43,53との間に樹脂カバー60が介在することになり、アルミニウム製のブラケット40,50が送風機室側側板23に直接触れなくても、ブラケット40,50を送風機室側側板23に固定できる。
挿入部63の左右側面を形成するのは内壁63aと外壁63bである。形状の異なる取付片43,53の貫通穴43a,53aの位置が異なることから、外壁63bには、2つの開口部63ba,63bbが形成されている。内壁63aにも、これら開口部63ba,63bbに対応する位置に、これら開口部63ba,63bbよりも大きな開口部63aa,63abが形成されている。これら開口部62baと開口部62aaと開口部63ba,63bbと開口部63aa,63abとを通して、内壁62a,63aから外壁62b、63bまでが貫通している。側面視における開口部63aaと開口部63baの重なり部分の形状は、貫通穴43a,53aと同じ大きさのm1×n1の長円穴とほぼ同じ形状であってさらにその一部を切り欠いたような形状である。また、側面視における開口部63abと開口部63bbの重なり部分の形状は、貫通穴43a,53aと同じ大きさのm1×n1の長円穴と同じ形状である。
雄ネジでブラケット40,50と樹脂カバー60を送風機室側側板23に締結するために取付板70が樹脂カバー60に嵌め込まれる。図14及び図15に取付板70が示されており、図14(a)にはその平面図が示され、図14(b)にはその正面図が示され、図15(a)にはその左側面図が示され、図15(b)にはその右側面図が示されている。
取付板70が樹脂カバー60に取り付けられると、取付板70の上方への移動は、側板部72の頂部が挿入部64の天面に当接して抑制される。
図16に、アルミニウム製のブラケット40と樹脂カバー60と鉄製の取付板70を、鉄製の雄ネジ80で鋼板製の送風機室側側板23に留め付けている組み立て状態が示されている。また、図17に、送風機室側側板23を取り除いた状態で、アルミニウム製のブラケット40と樹脂カバー60と鉄製の取付板70が組み立てられた状態が示されている。図17に示されているように、ブラケット40の取付片43の一方は、防風板100に取り付けられる。
樹脂カバー60の内側には、ブラケット40から樹脂カバー60によって隔てられた状態で鉄製の取付板70が配置される。取付板70のネジ穴73bには、ブラケット40の貫通穴43aと樹脂カバー60の開口部63aaなどを貫通する雄ネジ80が嵌る。
(3-1)
上述の室外ユニット2では、アルミニウム製のブラケット40,50,90の挟持片42,52(固着部)がアルミニウム製の室外熱交換器13に直接取り付けられ、取付片43,53(固定部)が樹脂カバー60,92を介して鋼板製の送風機室側側板23や機械室側側板24や仕切板28(非アルミニウム金属製の構造部品)に固定され、アルミニウムと鋼板とは接触しない。アルミニウム製のブラケット40,50は、鉄製(非アルミニウム金属製)の雄ネジ80(係止部品)と鉄製の取付板70(被係止構造)とで協働して締結され、鋼板製の送風機室側側板23に固定されている。また、アルミニウム製のブラケット90も、鉄製の雄ネジ(図示省略)と鉄製の取付板93(被係止構造)とで協働して締結され、鋼板製の(機械室側側板24や仕切板28に固定されている。
このように、鉄製の雄ネジ80がアルミニウム製のブラケット40,50,90に接触しないので、鉄(非アルミニウム金属)とアルミニウム金属との間で腐蝕が起こることに起因するブラケットの腐蝕が防がれる。アルミニウム製の室外熱交換器13を取り付けるためのアルミニウム製のブラケット40,50,90の取付片43,53近傍の腐蝕を防止することができ、このような腐蝕などが原因で室外熱交換器13の取り付けに緩みが生じるなどの不具合が引き起こされるのを防ぐことができる。
なお、上記実施形態では非金属部材として樹脂カバー60,92などの樹脂部材を例に挙げて説明しているが、非金属部材としてはゴム部材などの高分子材料からなる部材やセラミック部材などの非金属の無機材料からなる部材であってもよい。もちろん、ここでいう非金属部材は、非アルミニウム金属よりもアルミニウムやアルミニウム合金との間で腐蝕を促進させない材料で構成されている部材である。
樹脂カバー60は、アルミニウム製のブラケット40,50の取付片43,53(固定部)を両側から挟みこむための挿入部62,63の内壁62a,63bと外壁62b,63b(挟み込み構造)を有する。そして、雄ネジ80(係止部品)と取付板70(被係止構造)は、樹脂カバー60の挿入部62,63とアルミニウム製のブラケット40,50の取付片43,53とを締結している。樹脂カバー60の内壁62a,63bと外壁62b,63bで挟み込まれた状態でブラケット40,50の取付片43,53が締結されるので、アルミニウム製のブラケット40,50を樹脂カバー60で強く固定することができる。その結果、アルミニウム製の室外熱交換器13の固定を強固にすることができる、室外熱交換器13の取り付けの緩みなどの不具合発生の防止効果を向上させることができる。
上述のように、鉄製の雄ネジ80とネジ穴72a,73a,73bを有する取付板70とで締結することで、取付板70と樹脂カバー60の位置決めが容易で取り扱いやすくなる。そして、鉄製の雄ネジ80を用いることで、必要な強度を持つ係止部品が安価に得られることから、室外ユニット2を安価に提供できる。また、ネジ穴72a,73a,73bにバーリング加工が施されたものであるため、取付板70だけで雄ネジ80を止めることができるので、部品点数を減らして室外ユニット2の製造コストを削減することができる。
(4-1)変形例A
上記実施形態では、室外熱交換器13などにアルミニウム製の部材を用いる場合について説明したが、アルミニウム製の部材は、アルミニウム合金製の部材に代えることもでき、例えば、アルミニウム製の室外熱交換器13に代えてアルミニウム合金製の室外熱交換器を用いることができ、アルミニウム製のブラケット40,50,90に代えてアルミニウム合金製のブラケットを用いることができる。
上記実施形態では、非アルミニウム金属として、鉄や鋼などを用いる場合について説明したが、銅や銅合金など他の金属を用いてもよい。
上記実施形態では、樹脂カバー60に樹脂の成形体を用いたが、セラミックやプリプレグなどの複合的な部材など他の材質で形成してもよい。
上記実施形態では、雄ネジ80の被係止構造に取付板70を用いる場合について説明したが、被係止構造は、雄ネジ80を係止可能な鉄製のナットや雄ネジ80を係止可能な樹脂カバー60に成型された樹脂製の雌ネジ部であってもよく、またネジ以外の係止部材や被係止構造を用いてもよい。
上記実施形態では、雄ネジ80を取付板70(被係止構造)に取り付ける場合について説明したが、取付板70のネジ穴72a,73a,73bに代えて送風機室側側板23や機械室側側板24や仕切板28にネジ穴を形成して、雄ネジ80を送風機室側側板23や機械室側側板24や仕切板28のネジ穴にねじ込んでアルミニウム製のブラケット40,50,90や樹脂カバー60,92を固定してもよい。この場合には、送風機室側側板23や機械室側側板24や仕切板28のネジ穴が被係止構造になる。
