- the refrigerant liquid X2 flowing through the flow path R6 is decompressed by the first orifice 65 while being liquid, and is supplied to the motor housing space S3. Further, the refrigerant liquid X2 flowing through the flow path R6 is reduced in pressure by the second orifice 66 while being in a liquid state, and is supplied to the motor housing space S3 through the oil cooler 7.
- the refrigerant liquid X2 passes through a flow path (not shown) formed around the motor 10, cools the motor 10, and is discharged from the motor housing space S3.
- a flow path R16 connected to the evaporator 4 is connected to the motor housing space S3, and the refrigerant liquid X2 is returned to the evaporator 4 via the flow path R16.
- the turbo refrigerator 1 of this embodiment includes a small refrigerator 51 (sub-refrigerator) installed in the middle of the flow path R6.
- the small refrigerator 51 includes a small condenser 52, a small evaporator 53, and a small compressor 54.
- the small refrigerator 51 includes an expansion valve (not shown) between the small condenser 52 and the small evaporator 53.
- Such a small refrigerator 51 cools only the refrigerant liquid X2 flowing through the flow path R6. For this reason, the small condenser 52, the small evaporator 53, and the small compressor 54 are extremely small compared to the condenser 2, the evaporator 4, and the turbo compressor 5.
- the flow path R6 serves as the refrigerant introduction portion T of the present invention that introduces a part of the refrigerant circulating through the evaporator 4 and the condenser 2 into the motor housing space S3 and the oil cooler 7. Function.
- the turbo chiller 1A of the present embodiment having such a configuration, the refrigerant liquid X2 introduced into the motor housing space S3 and the oil cooler 7 is cooled by the small refrigerator 51. Therefore, according to the turbo refrigerator 1A of the present embodiment, the motor 10 and the lubricating oil can be sufficiently cooled even when the temperature of the refrigerant liquid X2 in the condenser 2 is not sufficiently low.
- a motor and lubricating oil can be sufficiently cooled in a turbo refrigerator.

Abstract
Description
本願は、2013年6月4日に日本国に出願された特願2013-117736号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
特許文献2では、凝縮器と蒸発器の間に設けられ、凝縮器において液化された冷媒の一部をターボ圧縮機に供給する中間冷却器を上記ターボ圧縮機の駆動用モータと一体化する技術が開示されている。
特許文献3では、潤滑油を貯留する油タンクと、ターボ圧縮機を通る冷媒の容量を制御する吸入容量制御部(インレットガイドベーン)とターボ圧縮機の低段圧縮部と高段圧縮部とが設置されている空間である圧縮機構との間
を連結する均圧管が開示されている。
図1は、本発明の第1実施形態におけるターボ冷凍機1の系統図である。ターボ冷凍機1は、図1に示すように、凝縮器2と、エコノマイザ3と、蒸発器4と、ターボ圧縮機5と、膨張弁6と、油クーラ7(油冷却部)と、小型圧縮機8(冷却部)と、エジェクタ9(油返戻部)とを備えている。
蒸発器4は、冷水が流通する伝熱管4aを備え、冷媒液X2と冷水との熱交換によって、冷水を冷却すると共に冷媒液X2を蒸発させる。冷媒液X2は、冷水との間の熱交換によって熱を奪って蒸発し、冷媒ガスX4となる。蒸発器4の頂部は、流路R5を介してターボ圧縮機5のガス吸入管5cと接続されている。ターボ圧縮機5には、蒸発器4において蒸発した冷媒ガスX4が流路R5を通って供給される。
次に、本発明の第2実施形態について説明する。なお、本実施形態の説明において上記第1実施形態と同様の部分については、その説明を省略あるいは簡略化する。
また、流路R6を流れる冷媒液X2が液体のまま第2オリフィス66で減圧されて油クーラ7を介した後、モータ収容空間S3に供給される。なお、冷媒液X2はモータ10の周囲に形成された不図示の流路を通り、モータ10を冷却した後、モータ収容空間S3から排出される。モータ収容空間S3には、蒸発器4と繋がる流路R16が接続されており、冷媒液X2は流路R16を介して蒸発器4に戻される。
なお、本実施形態においても、流路R6は、蒸発器4と凝縮器2とを循環する冷媒の一部をモータ収容空間S3及び油クーラ7の内部に導入する本発明の冷媒導入部Tとして機能する。
