Abstract

L'invention porte sur un cycle de pompe à chaleur qui commute entre un premier mode de fonctionnement de chauffage et un second mode de fonctionnement. Lorsqu'une charge de chauffage est augmentée et qu'un compresseur (11) est accéléré pendant le premier mode de fonctionnement de chauffage, il est déterminé qu'un fluide frigorigène contenant un fluide frigorigène en phase liquide circule dans un orifice à pression intermédiaire (11b) du compresseur (11) et le premier mode de fonctionnement de chauffage est commuté vers le second mode de fonctionnement de chauffage. Dans le second mode de fonctionnement de chauffage, une soupape du côté phase gazeuse (18) ferme la voie amenant le fluide frigorigène à l'orifice à pression intermédiaire (11b), ce qui rend possible d'empêcher l'entrée du fluide frigorigène en phase liquide dans le compresseur (11).
