Abstract
Description
空気調和機の施工時には、空気調和機の試運転が行われ、施工作業における不備がないことの確認が行われることが一般的である。
第1のバルブは、空気調和機の施工時に作業者により開状態にすることが必要である。第1のバルブが閉止状態にある場合、あるいは、第1のバルブが全開となっていない場合は、第1の冷媒経路がふさがれ、冷媒が環流しない。このため、期待する空気調和能力が発揮されないことが想定される。あるいは、圧力損失の増大により消費電力が増大することが想定される。
また、第1のバルブが閉止状態であるときには、低圧圧力(吸入圧力)と高圧圧力(吐出圧力)との間の圧力差が開き、空気調和機を保護するための保護制御により空気調和機が停止することがある。このような空気調和機の停止時には、作業者が停止の要因を検討する必要がある。また、保護制御に関わらず空気調和機の運転が継続する場合は、第1のバルブが閉止状態であることを作業者が見逃すことを回避する必要がある。
このように、特に空気調和機の設置後の試運転時において、第1のバルブの閉止状態を検出し、第1のバルブが閉止状態であることを作業者に認知させることが求められる。 A liquid pipe valve and a gas pipe valve are arranged at the entrance and exit of a refrigerant path (hereinafter referred to as a first refrigerant path) for circulating the refrigerant between the outdoor units of the air conditioner. Hereinafter, the liquid pipe valve and the gas pipe valve are collectively referred to as the first valve.
When constructing an air conditioner, it is common to perform a test run of the air conditioner to confirm that there are no defects in the construction work.
The first valve must be opened by an operator when installing the air conditioner. When the first valve is closed, or when the first valve is not fully open, the first refrigerant path is blocked and the refrigerant does not circulate. For this reason, it is assumed that the expected air conditioning performance will not be exhibited. Alternatively, it is assumed that power consumption increases due to an increase in pressure loss.
Further, when the first valve is closed, the pressure difference between the low pressure (intake pressure) and the high pressure (discharge pressure) opens, and the air conditioner is operated by protective control to protect the air conditioner. may stop. When stopping such an air conditioner, it is necessary for the operator to consider the cause of the stop. Moreover, when the operation of the air conditioner continues regardless of the protection control, it is necessary to prevent the operator from overlooking the closed state of the first valve.
As described above, it is required to detect the closed state of the first valve and to let the operator recognize that the first valve is closed, especially during trial operation after installation of the air conditioner.
空気調和機の室内機と室外機との間で冷媒を環流させる第1の冷媒経路における前記冷媒の環流が前記第1の冷媒経路に配置されている第1のバルブの閉止により遮断されていても前記室外機内で前記冷媒を環流させることが可能な第2の冷媒経路が前記室外機に存在する場合に、前記第2の冷媒経路に配置されている、閉止により前記第2の冷媒経路における前記冷媒の環流を遮断させる第2のバルブを閉止するよう前記室外機に指示する指示信号を前記室外機に送信する信号送信部と、
前記信号送信部により前記指示信号が前記室外機に送信された後に、前記第1のバルブが閉止されているか否かを判定する判定部とを有する。 The inspection device according to the present disclosure is
The circulation of the refrigerant in the first refrigerant path for circulating the refrigerant between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is blocked by closing the first valve arranged in the first refrigerant path. When the outdoor unit has a second refrigerant path capable of circulating the refrigerant in the outdoor unit, the second refrigerant path arranged in the second refrigerant path is closed. a signal transmission unit configured to transmit an instruction signal to the outdoor unit to instruct the outdoor unit to close a second valve that blocks circulation of the refrigerant;
and a determination unit that determines whether or not the first valve is closed after the instruction signal is transmitted to the outdoor unit by the signal transmission unit.

油分離器51は、圧縮機11から吐出される冷媒に含まれる冷凍機油を分離する。
キャピラリチューブ52は、油分離器51から圧縮機11の吸入側に戻される冷凍機油及び冷媒の流量を適正に調整する流路抵抗として機能する。
油戻しバルブ53は、圧縮機11の運転中に開放される。油戻しバルブ53は第2のバルブに相当する。
油分離器51、キャピラリチューブ52及び油戻しバルブ53で構成される油戻し経路により、圧縮機11から吐出された冷凍機油が速やかに圧縮機11に回収される。これにより、冷凍機油が室外機10を流出して冷媒経路の全体に分布してしまい、圧縮機11が潤滑不良になることを防止することができる。この結果、信頼性の高い冷凍サイクルを実現することができる。
