FIG. 5 is a control flowchart of the refrigeration cycle apparatus according to
The heat storage operation is basically performed in a time zone without air conditioning load such as at night.
はじめに、STEP1では、室内での空調負荷がなく圧縮機1が停止している。
STEP2では、温度センサ19にて蓄熱槽8の水温が所定の温度T1以上か否かを確認する。
所定の温度T1以下であれば、蓄熱槽8が蓄熱されていると判断し、蓄熱運転は行わない。
所定の温度T1以上であればSTEP3へ移行し、蓄熱運転を開始し経過時間のカウントを開始する。STEP4に進んで蓄熱運転時の圧縮機1を設定された回転周波数F1となるように運転する。
また、絞り装置7を蓄熱槽8の冷媒出口側の温度センサ20が所定の検出値となるよう開度LEV7を設定し、電磁弁9、10を閉、電磁弁11を開とする。 First, in STEP1, there is no air conditioning load in the room and thecompressor 1 is stopped.
In STEP2, thetemperature sensor 19 confirms whether the water temperature of the heat storage tank 8 is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature T1.
If it is below predetermined temperature T1, it will judge that theheat storage tank 8 is heat-accumulating, and a heat storage driving | operation will not be performed.
If it is more than predetermined temperature T1, it will transfer to STEP3, thermal storage operation will be started, and counting of elapsed time will be started. Proceeding toSTEP 4, the compressor 1 during the heat storage operation is operated so as to have the set rotation frequency F1.
Further, the opening degree LEV7 of theexpansion device 7 is set so that the temperature sensor 20 on the refrigerant outlet side of the heat storage tank 8 has a predetermined detection value, the electromagnetic valves 9 and 10 are closed, and the electromagnetic valve 11 is opened.

次に、STEP5では、蓄熱運転による圧縮機1の運転開始からの運転時間が所定の時間t1を経過したか否かを判断する。所定の時間t1が経過していれば、STEP6へ移行し、蓄熱運転を終了し圧縮機1を停止する。所定の時間t1が経過していなければ、STEP4に戻り、蓄熱運転を継続する。
なお、STEP5にて蓄熱運転開始からの経過時間により蓄熱運転の終了を判断したが、蓄熱槽8内の温度を温度センサ19で計測し、所定温度以下に低下した時点で蓄熱運転を終了させてもよい。 Next, inSTEP 5, it is determined whether or not the operation time from the start of operation of the compressor 1 by the heat storage operation has passed a predetermined time t1. If predetermined time t1 has passed, it will transfer to STEP6, thermal storage operation will be ended, and compressor 1 will be stopped. If predetermined time t1 has not passed, it will return to STEP4 and heat storage operation will be continued.
InSTEP 5, the end of the heat storage operation was determined based on the elapsed time from the start of the heat storage operation, but the temperature in the heat storage tank 8 was measured by the temperature sensor 19, and the heat storage operation was terminated when the temperature fell below a predetermined temperature.

図6は、実施の形態1に係る冷凍サイクル装置の冷房運転時の制御フローチャートである。STEP1では、冷房運転が開始され、圧縮機1は設定された回転周波数F2で運転される。 Next, a control flow during cooling operation will be described.
FIG. 6 is a control flowchart of the refrigeration cycle apparatus according to
STEP2では、温度センサ19で蓄熱槽8内の水温を検知し、所定の温度T2以上であれば蓄熱量が不足していると判断し、STEP6へ移行して電磁弁9を開、電磁弁10を閉、絞り装置7の開度を閉とし、蓄熱槽8に冷媒を流通させずに冷房運転を行う。所定の温度T2未満であれば、STEP3へと移行する。
In STEP 2, the temperature of the water in the heat storage tank 8 is detected by the temperature sensor 19, and if the temperature is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T 2, it is determined that the amount of heat storage is insufficient, the process proceeds to STEP 6, the electromagnetic valve 9 is opened, and the electromagnetic valve 10 is opened. Is closed, the opening of the expansion device 7 is closed, and the cooling operation is performed without circulating the refrigerant in the heat storage tank 8. If it is lower than the predetermined temperature T2, the process proceeds to STEP3.
STEP3では、室外側制御装置6の発熱量を演算する。発熱量は、高圧圧力センサ21で検知される圧力Pd、圧縮機1の回転周波数F2によって演算され、その数値は試験などであらかじめ求めておく。発熱量が所定の発熱量Q未満の場合は、STEP6へ移行し、電磁弁9を開、電磁弁10、11、絞り装置7を閉として蓄熱槽8に冷媒を流通させずに冷房運転を行う。発熱量が所定の発熱量Q以上の場合は、STEP4へ移行する。
In STEP 3, the amount of heat generated by the outdoor control device 6 is calculated. The calorific value is calculated by the pressure Pd detected by the high-pressure sensor 21 and the rotation frequency F2 of the compressor 1, and the value is obtained in advance by a test or the like. When the calorific value is less than the predetermined calorific value Q, the process proceeds to STEP 6, the electromagnetic valve 9 is opened, the electromagnetic valves 10 and 11 and the expansion device 7 are closed, and the cooling operation is performed without circulating the refrigerant through the heat storage tank 8. . When the heat generation amount is equal to or greater than the predetermined heat generation amount Q, the process proceeds to STEP4.
STEP4では電磁弁9、11を閉、電磁弁10を開、絞り装置7の開度を所定の開度LEV7に設定し、蓄熱槽8に冷媒を流通させ、冷房放熱運転を実施する。蓄熱槽8が放熱することで通過する冷媒を冷却し、過冷却度を増加させる。
In STEP 4, the solenoid valves 9 and 11 are closed, the solenoid valve 10 is opened, the opening degree of the expansion device 7 is set to a predetermined opening degree LEV7, the refrigerant is circulated through the heat storage tank 8, and the cooling and heat radiation operation is performed. The heat storage tank 8 radiates heat to cool the refrigerant passing therethrough and increase the degree of supercooling.
STEP5では、冷房運転を開始してから所定の時間t2が経過しているか否かを検知し、経過していれば、STEP2へ戻り、蓄熱槽8の蓄熱量を検知する。所定の時間t2が経過していなければ、所定の時間t2が経過するまで、当該運転時間を検知する。
In STEP5, it is detected whether or not a predetermined time t2 has elapsed since the start of the cooling operation. If it has elapsed, the process returns to STEP2 to detect the amount of heat stored in the heat storage tank 8. If the predetermined time t2 has not elapsed, the operation time is detected until the predetermined time t2 elapses.
実施の形態1に係る冷凍サイクル装置は、以上の構成、動作をすることにより、夜間に蓄熱槽ユニット52に蓄熱した冷熱を昼間に利用することで、冷房運転時に室外側制御装置6が発生した熱を処理するため、冷房能力の低下を防止することができる。また、室外側制御装置6の発熱量が小さい場合は、蓄熱を使用しないため、蓄熱量が無駄に減少することを抑制することができる。
The refrigeration cycle apparatus according to Embodiment 1 generates the outdoor control device 6 during cooling operation by using the cold energy stored in the heat storage tank unit 52 at night by performing the above configuration and operation. Since heat is processed, a reduction in cooling capacity can be prevented. Moreover, since the heat storage is not used when the calorific value of the outdoor control device 6 is small, it is possible to prevent the heat storage amount from being reduced unnecessarily.
なお、実施の形態1では、蓄熱槽8に封入される蓄熱媒体として水を採用した例を示したが、水よりも凝固点の高い蓄熱媒体を採用することができる。このような蓄熱媒体としては、例えばパラフィンやポリエチレングリコールなどで融点が0℃よりも大きいものが好適である。融点が0℃以上の潜熱蓄熱材を用いることで、空調運転中に蓄熱槽8内へも冷媒を流し、比較的高い温度で蓄熱をすることができるため、低圧側の圧力の低下を抑えて空調運転と同時に蓄熱運転を実施することができる。
そのため、蓄熱運転のためだけに圧縮機を駆動することがなく、圧縮機の駆動時間や発停回数を抑えることで消費電力の削減をすることができる。 In addition, inEmbodiment 1, although the example which employ | adopted water as a heat storage medium enclosed with the heat storage tank 8 was shown, the heat storage medium with a freezing point higher than water can be employ | adopted. As such a heat storage medium, for example, a paraffin or polyethylene glycol having a melting point higher than 0 ° C. is suitable. By using a latent heat storage material having a melting point of 0 ° C. or higher, the refrigerant can be flowed into the heat storage tank 8 during the air conditioning operation, and heat can be stored at a relatively high temperature. The heat storage operation can be performed simultaneously with the air conditioning operation.
Therefore, the compressor is not driven only for the heat storage operation, and the power consumption can be reduced by suppressing the driving time and the number of start / stop times of the compressor.
