Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air conditioner.
- heat pump type air conditioners that use air as a heat source have been introduced in cold regions in place of boiler-type heaters that use fossil fuels for heating.
- the heat pump type air conditioner can efficiently perform heating as much as heat is supplied from the air in addition to the electric input to the compressor.
- the heat pump type air conditioner is more likely to be frosted on the outdoor heat exchanger as the evaporator as the temperature of the air (outside air temperature) in the outdoors becomes lower. For this reason, it is necessary to perform defrost (defrosting) to melt the frost on the outdoor heat exchanger.
- defrost defrosting
- As a method of performing defrosting for example, there is a method of reversing a refrigerant flow in heating and supplying refrigerant from a compressor to an outdoor heat exchanger.
- this method has a problem that comfort is impaired because the indoor heating may be stopped during defrosting.
- outdoor heat exchangers are divided so that heating can be performed even during defrosting, and while some outdoor heat exchangers are defrosting, other outdoor heat exchangers are operated as evaporators and air Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3).
- the outdoor heat exchanger is divided into two heat exchanger sections. And when defrosting one heat exchanger part, the electronic expansion valve installed upstream of the heat exchanger part of defrost object is closed. Furthermore, by opening an electromagnetic on-off valve in the bypass pipe that bypasses the refrigerant from the compressor discharge pipe to the inlet of the heat exchanger section, a part of the high-temperature refrigerant discharged from the compressor is directly exchanged heat for defrosting. It flows into the vessel. And when defrosting of one heat exchanger part is completed, defrosting of the other heat exchanger part is performed. At this time, in the heat exchanger part to be defrosted, defrost is performed in a state where the pressure of the internal refrigerant is equal to the suction pressure of the compressor (low pressure defrost).
- the outdoor heat exchanger is divided into a plurality of outdoor heat exchangers, and a part of the high-temperature refrigerant discharged from the compressor is alternately allowed to flow into each outdoor heat exchanger, Each outdoor heat exchanger is defrosted alternately. For this reason, heating can be performed continuously without reversing the refrigeration cycle. Further, the refrigerant supplied to the outdoor heat exchanger to be defrosted is injected from the injection port of the compressor. At this time, in the outdoor heat exchanger to be defrosted, the internal refrigerant pressure is lower than the discharge pressure of the compressor and higher than the suction pressure (pressure that is slightly higher than 0 ° C. in terms of saturation temperature). Defrost is performed (medium pressure defrost).
- JP 2009-085484 A (paragraph [0019], FIG. 3) JP 2007-271094 A (paragraph [0007], FIG. 2) WO2012 / 014345 (paragraph [0006], FIG. 1)
- the heat exchanger part to be defrosted and the heat exchanger part functioning as an evaporator operate in the same pressure band.
- coolant absorbs heat from outside air.
- the saturation temperature of the refrigerant may be 0 ° C. or less. Therefore, even if the frost (0 ° C.) is melted, the latent heat of condensation of the refrigerant cannot be used, and the defrost efficiency may be deteriorated.
- the subcool (degree of supercooling) of the refrigerant at the outlet of the heat source side heat exchanger after the defrost is increased. Therefore, a temperature distribution is generated in the heat source side heat exchanger to be defrosted, and efficient defrosting cannot be performed.
- the amount of liquid refrigerant in the heat source side heat exchanger to be defrosted increases by the amount of subcool, and it may take time to move the liquid refrigerant.
- latent heat of condensation is utilized by controlling the saturation temperature of the refrigerant to a slightly higher temperature (about 0 ° C. to 10 ° C.) than 0 ° C. .
- This intermediate pressure defrost can efficiently defrost the entire outdoor heat exchanger with less temperature unevenness compared to the low pressure defrost and the high pressure defrost.
- there is an upper limit to the amount of refrigerant that can be injected into the compressor and there is a limit to the flow rate of refrigerant that can be supplied to the outdoor heat exchanger to be defrosted.
- the pressure of the defrost outdoor heat exchanger may be influenced by the injection pressure in the injection compressor. For this reason, there is a limit to the defrosting ability, and the defrosting time cannot be shortened.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner that can efficiently defrost.
- the air conditioner according to the present invention enables a refrigerant to be injected into an intermediate portion of a compression stroke, heats the air to be air-conditioned and the compressor, a compressor that sucks and compresses the low-pressure refrigerant, and discharges the high-pressure refrigerant.
- An indoor heat exchanger to be exchanged An indoor heat exchanger to be exchanged, a first flow rate control device for adjusting and controlling the flow rate of the refrigerant passing through the indoor heat exchanger, and a plurality of outdoor heats connected in parallel to each other to exchange heat between the external air and the refrigerant
- a main refrigerant circuit in which the refrigerant circulates is configured by connecting the exchanger to the pipe, and a part of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor branches and passes through, and flows into the outdoor heat exchanger to be defrosted.
- a first pressure adjusting device that adjusts the refrigerant passing through the first defrost pipe to an intermediate pressure that is higher than low pressure and lower than high pressure, and refrigerant that has passed through an outdoor heat exchanger to be defrosted Inject into the compressor
- a second defrosting pipe to tio down in which the refrigerant passing through the second defrosting pipe and a second pressure regulator for pressure control to the injection pressure.
- the defrosting is performed by flowing the refrigerant through the path different from the main refrigerant circuit with the pressure adjusted by the first pressure adjusting device and the second pressure adjusting device in the outdoor heat exchanger to be defrosted. Therefore, for example, an air conditioner that can perform defrosting efficiently without stopping heating of the indoor unit can be obtained.

- the outdoor heat exchanger 13 to be defrosted has a saturation temperature higher than 0 ° C.
- coolant amount which can be supplied to the indoor unit 30 which heats decreases, and a heating capability falls. Therefore, when the saturated liquid temperature is set to 0 ° C. or lower, the heating capacity is reduced as in the low pressure defrost of the prior art document 1. Therefore, the pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger 13 to be defrosted needs to be higher than 0 ° C. in terms of saturated liquid temperature.
- the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle becomes insufficient, the suction density of the compressor 11 decreases, and the heating capacity decreases.
- the upper limit of the saturation temperature can be increased by overfilling the refrigerant, the reliability of the air conditioner may be reduced due to liquid overflow from the accumulator 14 during other operations. . Therefore, it is better to properly fill the refrigerant.
- the saturation temperature increases, the temperature difference between the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 13 and the frost becomes more uneven, and there is a problem that a place where the frost can be melted and a place where the frost can be melted quickly can be formed.

- the amount of heat given to the frost can be made constant regardless of the outside air temperature, and the time taken for defrosting can be made constant.
- control device 60 may change the saturation temperature threshold, the normal operation time, and the like used when determining the presence or absence of frost according to the outside air temperature. For example, the operation time is shortened so as to reduce the amount of frost formation at the start of defrost as the outside air temperature decreases so that the amount of heat applied to the defrost by the refrigerant during the heating defrost operation becomes constant. Thereby, the resistance of the expansion device 18 can be made constant. And an inexpensive capillary tube can be used. Further, the control device 60 may set a threshold value for the outside air temperature.
- the outside air temperature is equal to or higher than a threshold temperature (for example, the outside temperature is ⁇ 5 ° C., ⁇ 10 ° C., etc.) In this case, heating of the indoor unit 30 is stopped, and all outdoor heat exchangers are defrosted.
- a threshold temperature for example, the outside temperature is ⁇ 5 ° C., ⁇ 10 ° C., etc.
- the outside air temperature is 0 ° C. or lower, such as ⁇ 5 ° C. or ⁇ 10 ° C.
- the absolute humidity of the outside air is originally low and the amount of frost formation is small. For this reason, the time of normal operation until the amount of frost formation becomes a constant value becomes long.
- a heating stop defrost operation mode in which full defrosting is performed may be selected. For example, it is possible to efficiently defrost by making it possible to select an operation mode related to defrost based on the outside air temperature.
- the fan is used as the outside air temperature decreases.
- the fan output may be changed so as to reduce the output. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the amount of heat released from the outdoor heat exchanger 13 to be defrosted during the heating defrost operation.

- the order of defrosting may be reversed.
- each valve in the normal heating operation before the heating defrost operation is the state shown in the column “normal heating operation” in FIG. And from this state, each valve is changed to a state as shown in the column of “13a: evaporator 13b: defrost” of “heating defrost operation” in FIG. 3 to perform the heating defrost operation (S7).
- the heating defrost operation which uses the outdoor heat exchanger 13b as a defrost, and uses the outdoor heat exchanger 13a as an evaporator will be performed. For example, if the frost adhering to the outdoor heat exchanger 13b is melted by continuing the heating defrost operation, the refrigerant temperature in the first connection pipe 24b rises.
- a defrost termination condition for example, a temperature sensor is attached to the first connection pipe 24b, and it is determined that the defrost termination condition is satisfied when the sensor temperature exceeds a threshold as shown in the following equation (2).
- x2 is set to 3 to 10 ° C., for example. (Refrigerant temperature of first connecting pipe 24)> x2 (2)
- each valve is changed to a state as shown in the column “13a: Defrost 13b: Evaporator” of “Heating defrost operation” in FIG. 3 to perform the defrost operation of the outdoor heat exchanger 13a.
- S10 to S13 are the same as S6 to S9 described above, although the valve numbers are different.
- the plurality of outdoor heat exchangers 13 are defrosted at least once in order. For example, when the last outdoor heat exchanger 13 finishes defrosting, the first defrosted outdoor heat exchanger 13 is frosted by the temperature sensor or the like installed in the refrigerant circuit and the heat transfer performance is reduced. If it judges, you may perform the 2nd defrost for the outdoor heat exchanger 13 defrosted initially for a short time.
- the refrigerant can be sent to the indoor unit 30 side while performing the defrost operation by the heating defrost operation. It can be carried out. At this time, a part or all of the refrigerant flowing out from the outdoor heat exchanger 13 performing defrosting by adjusting the opening degree of at least one of the expansion device 20 and the second flow rate control device 15 (mainly the expansion device 20). Since it can inject into the compressor 11, the refrigerant

- the refrigerant flow rate to the indoor heat exchanger 31 that operates as a condenser can be increased while maintaining reliability so that the refrigerant does not liquid-compress in the compressor 11, and the heating capacity can be improved.
- a part of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant branched from the discharge pipe 22 is higher than 0 ° C. and 10 ° C. or lower, which is higher than the frost temperature in terms of saturation temperature. Since the pressure is reduced to the pressure (medium pressure) and the outdoor heat exchanger 13 to be defrosted is allowed to flow, defrosting using the latent heat of condensation of the refrigerant can be performed.
- the saturation temperature is higher than 0 ° C. and not higher than 10 ° C., so that the temperature difference from the frost temperature is reduced.
- the subcool (supercooling degree) of the refrigerant at the outlet of the exchanger 13 can be reduced to about 5K. For this reason, the amount of refrigerant necessary for defrosting is reduced, and the shortage of refrigerant circulating in the main refrigerant circuit can be avoided.
- the refrigerant in the heat transfer tube of the outdoor heat exchanger 13 to be defrosted has a large gas-liquid two-phase region, and a region where the temperature difference from the frost is constant increases, thereby making the defrost amount of the entire heat exchanger uniform. be able to.

It is possible to suppress the decrease in the suction pressure by maintaining the evaporation capability. Further, liquid back to the compressor 11 can be prevented. Further, when the flow control of the expansion device 18 is performed, the defrosting capability can be made variable. For this reason, for example, the time taken for defrosting can be made constant by increasing the flow rate of the expansion device 18 as the outside air temperature becomes lower.
- the air conditioning apparatus 100 of the present embodiment for example, by changing the reference for determining whether to perform the heating defrost operation based on the outside air temperature, the time taken for the defrost is made constant even if the defrost capability is constant. can do. Furthermore, since the heating defrost operation and the heating stop defrost operation can be selected based on the outside air temperature, an efficient defrost can be selected and performed. Further, since the output of the outdoor fan 21 is changed based on the outside air temperature, it is possible to reduce the amount of heat that the refrigerant performing defrost radiates to the outside air.
