Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る熱媒体変換装置100の全体構造図である。まず、熱媒体変換装置100の機能部品の構成について説明する。本実施の形態1の熱媒体変換装置100は、熱交換器1a、1b、1c及び1d、2次熱媒体送出装置2a及び2b、並びに2次熱媒体流路切替装置3を機能部品として有している。これらの機能部品は、筐体100aに搭載されている。熱媒体変換装置100は、図1に示すように、室外機11と室内機12との間に介在し、室外機11で生成された温熱又は冷熱を室内機12の要求に応じて供給する機能を有している。
熱交換器1a、1b、1c、1dは、室外機11から送出される冷媒等の1次熱媒体との熱交換により、2次熱媒体を加熱または冷却するものである。ここでは、熱交換器1a、1bと熱交換器1c、1dとに分散して設置し、例えば一方を加熱側熱交換器とし、他方を冷却側熱交換器とする。場合によっては両方とも2次熱媒体を加熱、冷却を行うようにすることもできる。また、ここでは、熱交換器1a、1b、1c、1dの4台の熱交換器を有して構成しているがこれに限定する必要はない。例えば、本実施の形態1の熱媒体変換装置100を天井等に取り付ける場合には、重量バランスをとることができれば、例えば2以上の偶数台の熱交換器で構成することができる。
2次熱媒体送出装置2a、2bは、加熱または冷却された2次熱媒体を加圧し、複数の流路のそれぞれに送出して循環させるものである。2次熱媒体送出装置2a、2bは、例えばポンプ等で構成するとよい。
2次熱媒体流路切替装置3は、複数の流路からの2次熱媒体のうち、1つまたは複数の2次熱媒体を各室内機12の熱交換器に流入出させるための切り替えをそれぞれ行うものである。
室外機11は、熱媒体変換装置100とともに空気調和装置(実施の形態2で説明する)を構成するものである。
室外機11は、1次熱媒体を循環するために2本の配管で熱媒体変換装置100と接続している。室外機11は、例えば冷媒等の1次熱媒体を循環等させるための圧縮機、凝縮器又は蒸発器となる室外側熱交換器等(図示せず)を有している。
室内機12も、熱媒体変換装置100とともに空気調和装置(実施の形態2で説明する)を構成するものである。
室内機12についても、2本の配管により熱媒体変換装置100と接続している。室内機12は、例えば空調対象空間の空気と2次熱媒体との熱交換を行う利用側熱交換器等を有している。図1では、熱媒体変換装置100は、1台の室内機12とを配管接続しているが、後述する2次熱媒体流路切替装置3の組数に合わせて複数台の室内機12と接続することができる。
熱媒体変換装置100の外表面に生じた結露水は、サイドパネル4a、4bの壁面に生じた場合、そのまま下方向に流れ、下部側のフレーム5c、5dの端部とドレンパン8との間に設けた開口を通りドレン管より排出される。
また、熱媒体変換装置100の内部に生じた結露水は、サイドパネル4a、4b下端に設けた開口部より外側に流れ、同じく下部側のフレーム5c、5dとドレンパン8との間にある開口を経てドレン管より排出される。
またさらに、熱媒体変換装置100の内部より例えばサービスパネル9のような外郭部品と下部側のフレーム5c、5dとの継ぎ目を経て噴き出した漏水は、ドレンパン8の側壁に当たった後、結露水同様の流路を通りドレン管より排出される。
まず、1次熱媒体は、室外機11にて放熱または吸熱して熱媒体変換装置100に流入する。そして、熱交換器1a、1b、1c、1dにおける熱交換により2次熱媒体を加熱または冷却した後に熱媒体変換装置100から流出して、再び室外機11に戻る流れとなっている。
まず、サイドパネル4a、4bに、吊金具10a、10b、10c、10dを取り付ける。そして、サイドパネル4a、4b間にフレーム5c、5dを取り付けた後、支え板7c、7dを取り付けて1次熱媒体側組立品に係る筐体部分が完成する。
また、三方弁3aの本体(図11、図12に示す三方弁本体3b)に接続されている、流出管3m、流入管3nは互いに上下方向に一列に並んでおらず半ピッチずれるようにし、いわゆる千鳥状に配置するようにしている。
三方弁3aは、三方弁本体3b、三方弁コイル3c、弁体3dを有している。三方弁本体3bには、2次熱媒体の流出口3e、流入口3f、連通口3g、3h、3i、3jが形成されている。連通口3g、3h、3i、3jは、三方弁3aを並行に積層させて取り付けた場合、各三方弁共通の2次熱媒体の流路になる。
三方弁コイル3cは三方弁本体3bに固定されており、軸部が回転する構造となっている。この回転により弁体3dも同様に回転する構造となっている。弁体3dは円筒形となっており、丁度、連通口3g、3h、3i、3jと接する部分の壁面のある範囲にのみ開口3k、3lが設けられている。
まず、三方弁3aを組み立て、三方弁同士を連結し、三方弁3aのそれぞれの流出口3e、流入口3fに流出管3m、流入管3nを取り付けて行くのだが、不安定な状態で行うのは効率が悪い。そこで、冶具を用いて連結した三方弁3aを定位置に固定し、そこに、流出管3m、流入管3nを取り付けていくことになる。ここで、上部側のフレーム5a、5b、インナーパネル6a、6b、載せ板15をあらかじめ組み立てておくことで、2次熱媒体流路切替装置3を製作する際の作業用の冶具とすることができる。
まず、1次熱媒体組立品のサイドパネル4a、4b及びフレーム5c、5dと、2次熱媒体流路切替装置組立品のフレーム5a、5b及びインナーパネル6a、6bとを固定する。このとき、図4に示す1次熱媒体側組立品の支え板7c、7dと、図5に示す2次熱媒体流路切替装置組立品の支え板7a、7bとにより、熱交換器1a、1b、1c、1dを挟み込んで固定する。
まず、カラー13cを双方の配管の中に挿入する。このとき、外周に取り付けられたOリング13a、13bが双方の配管内面とカラー13cとの隙間をシールし、カラー13cが配管より抜けない限り、水密性を維持するようにする。このとき、双方の配管端面のフランジ部は互いに密着状態となっており、ここにバンド13dを取り付ける。バンド13dにはスリットが設けられており、バンド13dを取り付けると双方の配管のフランジ部分がスリットの間で挟み込まれて固定される。スリットが密着した双方配管のフランジ部に引っ掛かり、配管同士が離れなくなるため、バンド13dを外さない限り、配管が離れてカラー13cが抜けるなどして水が漏れ出すことがなくなる。
図13は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る空気調和装置(以下、空気調和装置Aと称する)の回路構成の一例を示す概略回路構成図である。図13に基づいて、空気調和装置Aの詳しい構成について説明する。空気調和装置Aは、実施の形態1に係る熱媒体変換装置100を備えている。なお、実施の形態2では実施の形態1との相違点を中心に説明し、実施の形態1と同一部分には、同一符号を付して説明を省略するものとする。
配管65が、実施の形態1で説明した流出管3m、流入管3nに相当する。
[室外機11]
室外機11には、圧縮機50と、四方弁等の第1冷媒流路切替装置51と、熱源側熱交換器52と、アキュムレーター59とが冷媒配管54で直列に接続されて搭載されている。また、室外機11には、第1接続配管54a、第2接続配管54b、逆止弁53a、逆止弁53b、逆止弁53c、及び、逆止弁53dが設けられている。第1接続配管54a、第2接続配管54b、逆止弁53a、逆止弁53b、逆止弁53c、及び、逆止弁53dを設けることで、室内機12の要求する運転に関わらず、熱媒体変換装置100に流入させる1次熱媒体の流れを一定方向にすることができる。
室内機12には、それぞれ利用側熱交換器66が搭載されている。この利用側熱交換器66は、配管65によって熱媒体変換装置100の三方弁3aに接続するようになっている。この利用側熱交換器66は、図示省略のファン等の送風機から供給される空気と2次熱媒体との間で熱交換を行ない、室内空間7に供給するための暖房用空気あるいは冷房用空気を生成するものである。
熱媒体変換装置100には、熱媒体間熱交換器71と、熱媒体間熱交換器72と、2つの絞り装置56と、2つの開閉装置57と、2つの第2冷媒流路切替装置58と、2つの2次熱媒体送出装置2と、8つの三方弁3aが搭載されている。なお、絞り装置56、開閉装置57、第2冷媒流路切替装置58については、実施の形態1では図示していない。
