Description
また、前記冷凍回路の2つの熱交換器を直列に接続し、該2つの熱交換器を流れる冷媒の流量を1つの膨張弁で制御しているため、該2つの熱交換器を流れる冷媒の流量及び温度を、各々に接続された冷却液回路の冷却液の温度に合わせて別々に制御するのは困難であった。
前記冷凍回路は、ガス状冷媒を圧縮して高温高圧のガス状冷媒にする圧縮機と、該圧縮機から送られるガス状冷媒を冷却して低温高圧の液状冷媒にするコンデンサーと、該コンデンサーから送られる液状冷媒を膨張させて低温低圧の液状冷媒にする開度調整可能な第1主膨張弁及び第2主膨張弁と、前記第1主膨張弁から送られる液状冷媒を前記第1冷却液回路の第1冷却液と熱交換させて低圧のガス状冷媒にする第1熱交換器と、前記第2主膨張弁から送られる液状冷媒を前記第2冷却液回路の第2冷却液と熱交換させて低圧のガス状冷媒にする第2熱交換器とを有し、前記第1主膨張弁と第1熱交換器とは、相互に直列に接続されて第1熱交換流路部を形成し、前記第2主膨張弁と第2熱交換器とは、相互に直列に接続されて第2熱交換流路部を形成し、これら第1熱交換流路部と第2熱交換流路部とは相互に並列に接続されている。

更に、前記2つの冷却液回路の冷却液の設定温度及び設定流量を互いに異なる値に設定したことにより、例えばレーザー溶接装置におけるレーザー発振器及びプローブのような温度の異なる2つの負荷の冷却に最適なチラーを得ることができる。
一方、前記清水には、前記純水以外の水であって、負荷の冷却に適するように水質管理された水を使用することが望ましいが、水道水や工業用水を使用することもできる。

前記冷凍回路2において、前記圧縮機16から吐出される高温高圧のガス状冷媒は、前記コンデンサー17で冷却されて低温高圧の液状冷媒になったあと、前記分岐点2aで前記第1熱交換流路部23と第2熱交換流路部24とに分流する。前記第1熱交換流路部23に流入した液状冷媒は、前記第1主膨張弁18で低温低圧の液状冷媒にされたあと、前記第1熱交換器21において、前記第1冷却液回路3の第1冷却液7を冷却することにより昇温し、蒸発して低圧のガス状冷媒になり、また、前記第2熱交換流路部24に流入した液状冷媒は、前記第2主膨張弁19で低温低圧の液状冷媒にされたあと、前記第2熱交換器22において、前記第2冷却液回路4の第2冷却液8を冷却することにより昇温し、蒸発して低圧のガス状冷媒になる。そして、前記第1熱交換器21及び第2熱交換器22から出たガス状冷媒は、前記合流点2bで合流したあと、前記圧縮機16の吸入口16bに流入する。
前記第1負荷5を冷却することにより昇温した前記第1冷却液7は、前記戻り側の負荷接続口12から前記戻り管路45を通じて前記第1タンク40に還流する。
この場合、前記第1冷却液7の温度を上昇させる目的のために、従来のチラーのように第1タンク40に電気ヒーターを設けて該第1冷却液7を加熱する必要がなく、その分の電力消費量が少ない。
前記第2負荷6を冷却することにより昇温した前記第2冷却液8は、前記戻り側の負荷接続口14から前記戻り管路65を通じて前記第2タンク60に還流する。
この場合、前記第2冷却液8の温度を上昇させる目的のために、従来のチラーのように第2タンク60に電気ヒーターを設けて該第2冷却液8を加熱する必要がなく、その分の電力消費量が少ない。
更に、前記第1冷却液7と第2冷却液8との設定温度及び設定流量を互いに異なる値に設定することにより、例えばレーザー溶接装置におけるレーザー発振器及びプローブのような温度の異なる2つの負荷の冷却に適したチラーを得ることができる。
