Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种热泵,特别涉及一种包括能够同时处理冷热和温热的制冷剂回路的热泵。The present invention relates to a heat pump, and in particular to a heat pump including a refrigerant circuit capable of handling cold heat and warm heat simultaneously.
背景技术Background technique
到目前为止,能够同时处理加热负荷和冷却负荷的热泵已为众人所知。这些热泵中有的热泵包括以下制冷剂回路,在该制冷剂回路中除了连接有处理上述加热负荷的加热用热交换器和处理上述冷却负荷的冷却用热交换器以外,还连接有辅助热交换器(参照专利文献1)。Heat pumps that can handle both heating and cooling loads are known so far. Some of these heat pumps include a refrigerant circuit in which, in addition to a heat exchanger for heating to handle the above-mentioned heating load and a heat exchanger for cooling to handle the above-mentioned cooling load, an auxiliary heat exchanger is connected to the refrigerant circuit device (refer to Patent Document 1).
该辅助热交换器根据加热负荷和冷却负荷的状况做调节,保证上述制冷剂回路中的热平衡不会不平衡。在上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷,上述制冷剂回路放热过多的情况下,上述辅助热交换器变成蒸发器,增加吸热量来让热平衡达到平衡。也就是说,让在加热用热交换器中冷凝的制冷剂在冷却用热交换器和辅助热交换器两热交换器中蒸发。The auxiliary heat exchanger is adjusted according to the conditions of heating load and cooling load, so as to ensure that the heat balance in the above-mentioned refrigerant circuit will not be unbalanced. In the case where the heating load is greater than the cooling load and the refrigerant circuit releases too much heat, the auxiliary heat exchanger becomes an evaporator to increase the heat absorption to make the heat balance reach equilibrium. That is, the refrigerant condensed in the heating heat exchanger is evaporated in both the cooling heat exchanger and the auxiliary heat exchanger.
相反,在上述加热负荷小于上述冷却负荷,上述制冷剂回路吸热过多的情况下,辅助热交换器变成冷凝器增加放热量来让热平衡达到平衡。也就是说,让在冷却用热交换器蒸发的制冷剂在加热用热交换器和辅助热交换器两热交换器中冷凝。On the contrary, when the above-mentioned heating load is smaller than the above-mentioned cooling load and the above-mentioned refrigerant circuit absorbs too much heat, the auxiliary heat exchanger becomes a condenser to increase the heat release to make the heat balance reach a balance.

-发明要解决的技术问题--Technical problem to be solved by the invention-
该辅助热交换器让室外空气和制冷剂进行热交换。因此,该辅助热交换器的热交换量不被用于处理加热负荷和冷却负荷,不会对热泵的能力做出什么贡献。尽管如此,还是存在上述压缩机的动力的一部分被作为将制冷剂供向该辅助热交换器的动力白白地用掉,热泵的效率下降这样的问题。This auxiliary heat exchanger allows heat exchange between the outside air and the refrigerant. Therefore, the heat exchange capacity of the auxiliary heat exchanger is not used to handle the heating load and the cooling load, and does not make any contribution to the capacity of the heat pump. However, there is still a problem that a part of the power of the compressor is wasted as power for supplying the refrigerant to the auxiliary heat exchanger, and the efficiency of the heat pump is reduced.
本发明正是为解决上述问题而完成的,其目的在于:使为了调节制冷剂回路的热平衡而利用了辅助热交换器的热泵能够进行效率比现有技术更高的运转。The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to enable a heat pump using an auxiliary heat exchanger to operate more efficiently than conventionally to adjust the heat balance of a refrigerant circuit.
-用以解决技术问题的技术方案--Technical solutions to solve technical problems-
第一方面发明是一种制冷装置,其包括制冷剂回路10和辅助热交换器1,用制冷剂通路将低级压缩机构11、高级压缩机构12、高温热交换器13、高级膨胀机构14、低级膨胀机构15以及低温热交换器16依次连接起来形成制冷剂回路10,制冷剂在上述高温热交换器13中向高温流体放热,制冷剂在上述低温热交换器16中从低温流体吸热而蒸发,由此能够在该制冷剂回路10中进行制冷循环。上述辅助热交换器1连接在上述制冷剂回路10中保证使上述低级压缩机构11和上述高级压缩机构12之间的制冷剂通路与上述低级膨胀机构15和上述高级膨胀机构14之间的制冷剂通路连通,让上述制冷剂回路10的制冷剂和热源流体在上述辅助热交换器1中进行热交换。The invention in the first aspect is a refrigeration device, which includes a refrigerant circuit 10 and an auxiliary heat exchanger 1, and a low-stage compression mechanism 11, a high-stage compression mechanism 12, a high-temperature heat exchanger 13, a high-stage expansion mechanism 14, and a low-stage compression mechanism are connected by a refrigerant passage. The expansion mechanism 15 and the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 are connected in sequence to form the refrigerant circuit 10. The refrigerant releases heat to the high-temperature fluid in the above-mentioned high-temperature heat exchanger 13, and the refrigerant absorbs heat from the low-temperature fluid in the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16. By evaporating, the refrigeration cycle can be performed in the refrigerant circuit 10 . The above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is connected in the above-mentioned refrigerant circuit 10 to ensure that the refrigerant passage between the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 and the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12 and the refrigerant between the above-mentioned low-stage expansion mechanism 15 and the above-mentioned high-stage expansion mechanism 14 The paths are connected to allow the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit 10 and the heat source fluid to exchange heat in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 .
这里,在现有技术中的热泵的情况下,让上述制冷剂回路10中的制冷剂靠单级压缩进行循环,为了让上述辅助热交换器1起冷凝器的作用,就只有使该辅助热交换器1与上述制冷剂回路10的高压制冷剂管道系统(高压制冷剂流动的流路)连通(参照图13(A));为了让上述辅助热交换器1起蒸发器的作用,就只有让该辅助热交换器1与上述制冷剂回路10的低压制冷剂管道系统(低压制冷剂流动的流路)连通。Here, in the case of the heat pump in the prior art, the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit 10 is circulated by single-stage compression. In order for the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 to function as a condenser, only the auxiliary heat The exchanger 1 communicates with the high-pressure refrigerant piping system (flow path of high-pressure refrigerant flow) of the above-mentioned refrigerant circuit 10 (refer to FIG. 13(A)); in order for the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 to function as an evaporator, only The auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is communicated with the low-pressure refrigerant piping system (flow path through which the low-pressure refrigerant flows) of the above-mentioned refrigerant circuit 10 .
在第一方面发明中,由双级压缩双级膨胀的回路构成上述制冷剂回路10,将辅助热交换器1布置在该制冷剂回路10的中压制冷剂管道系统(中压制冷剂流经的流路)中(参照图13(B))。这样一来,在让上述辅助热交换器1起冷凝器的作用的情况下,将上述低级压缩机构11压缩的制冷剂的一部分供向辅助热交换器1即可,故上述制冷剂回路10的压缩动力减小。In the first aspect of the invention, the above-mentioned refrigerant circuit 10 is constituted by a two-stage compression and two-stage expansion circuit, and the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is arranged in the medium-pressure refrigerant piping system of the refrigerant circuit 10 (the medium-pressure refrigerant flows through flow path) (refer to FIG. 13(B)). In this way, when the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is made to function as a condenser, it is only necessary to supply part of the refrigerant compressed by the low-stage compression mechanism 11 to the auxiliary heat exchanger 1, so that the refrigerant circuit 10 Compression power is reduced.
而且,在让上述辅助热交换器1起蒸发器的作用之际,将被上述高级膨胀机构减压的制冷剂的一部分供向辅助热交换器1并使其蒸发后,由上述高级压缩机构12吸入即可,故上述制冷剂回路10的压缩动力减小。Furthermore, when the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is made to function as an evaporator, a part of the refrigerant decompressed by the above-mentioned high-level expansion mechanism is supplied to the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and evaporated, and then the above-mentioned high-level compression mechanism 12 Suction is enough, so the compression power of the above-mentioned refrigerant circuit 10 is reduced.
第二方面发明是这样的,在第一方面发明中,该制冷装置包括压缩机构调节部41。上述压缩机构调节部41根据上述高温热交换器13的加热负荷调节上述高级压缩机构12的工作容量(operatingcapacity);根据上述低温热交换器16的冷却负荷调节上述低级压缩机构11的工作容量。The second aspect of the invention is such that, in the first aspect of the invention, the refrigerating device includes the compression mechanism regulator (41). The compression mechanism regulator 41 adjusts the operating capacity of the high-stage compression mechanism 12 according to the heating load of the high-temperature heat exchanger 13; and adjusts the operating capacity of the low-stage compression mechanism 11 according to the cooling load of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16.
在第二方面发明中,如果上述加热负荷增大,则增加上述高级压缩机构12的工作容量;如果上述加热负荷减小,则减少上述高级压缩机构12的工作容量。而且,如果上述冷却负荷增大,则增加上述低级压缩机构11的工作容量;如果上述冷却负荷减小,则减少上述低级压缩机构11的工作容量。In the second aspect of the invention, if the heating load increases, the working capacity of the high-level compression mechanism 12 is increased; if the heating load decreases, the working capacity of the high-level compression mechanism 12 is decreased. Also, if the cooling load increases, the operation capacity of the low-stage compression mechanism 11 is increased; if the cooling load decreases, the operation capacity of the low-stage compression mechanism 11 is decreased.
这里,如果上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷,上述高级压缩机构12的工作容量大于上述低级压缩机构11的工作容量,在上述辅助热交换器1中蒸发的制冷剂则与从上述低级压缩机构11喷出的制冷剂一起被吸入上述高级压缩机构12。Here, if the above-mentioned heating load is greater than the above-mentioned cooling load, the working capacity of the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12 is greater than that of the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11, and the refrigerant evaporated in the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is the same as that sprayed from the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11. The discharged refrigerant is sucked into the above-mentioned advanced compression mechanism 12 together.
相反,如果上述冷却负荷大于上述加热负荷,上述低级压缩机构11的工作容量大于上述高级压缩机构12的工作容量,上述低级压缩机构11的制冷剂喷出量就会比上述高级压缩机构12的制冷剂吸入量大。其结果是,从上述低级压缩机构11喷出且未被吸入上述高级压缩机构12的制冷剂流向上述辅助热交换器1。通过让该辅助热交换器1起冷凝器的作用,制冷剂就会在该辅助热交换器1中冷凝。On the contrary, if the above-mentioned cooling load is greater than the above-mentioned heating load, the working capacity of the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 is greater than that of the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12, and the refrigerant discharge amount of the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 will be higher than that of the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12. The inhaled dose is large. As a result, the refrigerant discharged from the low-stage compression mechanism 11 and not sucked into the high-stage compression mechanism 12 flows into the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 . By having the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 function as a condenser, the refrigerant is condensed in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 .
这样一来,如果上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷,就能够让上述辅助热交换器1起蒸发器的作用;如果上述冷却负荷大于上述加热负荷,就能够让上述辅助热交换器1起冷凝器的作用。In this way, if the above-mentioned heating load is greater than the above-mentioned cooling load, the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be made to function as an evaporator; if the above-mentioned cooling load is greater than the above-mentioned heating load, the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be made to function as a condenser effect.
第三方面发明是这样的,在第二方面发明中,该制冷装置包括能够在低级吸入状态和高级吸入状态之间切换的切换机构51、52。上述低级吸入状态是:在上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷,上述辅助热交换器1和上述低温热交换器16都起蒸发器的作用的情况下,当上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差小于规定值时或者上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力在上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力以下时,将从上述辅助热交换器1流出的制冷剂引向上述低级压缩机构11的吸入侧。上述高级吸入状态是:在上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷,上述辅助热交换器1和上述低温热交换器16都起蒸发器的作用的情况下,当上述压力差在规定值以上且上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力大于上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力时,将从上述辅助热交换器1流出的制冷剂引向上述高级压缩机构12的吸入侧。The third invention is such that, in the second invention, the refrigeration device includes switching mechanisms 51, 52 capable of switching between the low suction state and the high suction state. The above-mentioned low-level suction state is: when the above-mentioned heating load is greater than the above-mentioned cooling load, and the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16 both function as evaporators, when the evaporation pressure of the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the above-mentioned When the pressure difference of the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 is less than a predetermined value or when the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16, the refrigerant flowing out of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 Lead to the suction side of the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11. The above-mentioned high-level suction state is: when the above-mentioned heating load is greater than the above-mentioned cooling load, and the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16 both function as evaporators, when the above-mentioned pressure difference is more than a predetermined value and the above-mentioned auxiliary heat When the evaporation pressure of the exchanger 1 is higher than the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 , the refrigerant flowing out of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is guided to the suction side of the high-stage compression mechanism 12 .
这里,上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差越小,上述低级压缩机构11的吸入压力和喷出压力就越接近,双级压缩所带来的热泵的工作效率的提高效果就小。而且,如果上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力低于上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力,上述低级压缩机构11的吸入制冷剂的压力和喷出制冷剂的压力就会倒过来,上述低级压缩机构11就不再起作用了。实际上,上述低级压缩机构11运转以降低吸入制冷剂的压力,但是因为该情况下吸入制冷剂的压力低于上述低温热交换器16的最佳蒸发压力,所以热泵的工作效率下降。此外,是在能够获得双级压缩带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果的压力差范围内设定该规定值。Here, the smaller the pressure difference between the evaporating pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the evaporating pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 is, the closer the suction pressure and the discharge pressure of the low-stage compression mechanism 11 are, and the two-stage compression brings The effect of improving the working efficiency of the heat pump is small. And, if the evaporating pressure of the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than the evaporating pressure of the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16, the pressure of the suction refrigerant and the pressure of the discharge refrigerant of the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 will be reversed, and the above-mentioned low-stage compression Mechanism 11 no longer works. Actually, the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 operates to reduce the pressure of the suction refrigerant, but since the pressure of the suction refrigerant in this case is lower than the optimum evaporation pressure of the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16, the operation efficiency of the heat pump decreases. In addition, the predetermined value is set within a pressure difference range in which the effect of improving the heat pump operation efficiency by two-stage compression can be obtained.
在第三方面发明中,在上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差小于规定值时或者上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力在上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力以下时,上述切换机构51、52处于低级吸入状态。这样一来,在上述辅助热交换器1中已蒸发的制冷剂被吸入上述低级压缩机构11。In the third aspect of the invention, when the pressure difference between the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 is less than a predetermined value or the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than that of the low-temperature heat exchanger When the evaporating pressure is below 16, the switching mechanisms 51 and 52 are in the low-stage suction state. In this way, the refrigerant evaporated in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is sucked into the low-stage compression mechanism 11 .
另一方面,在上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差在规定值以上且上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力大于上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力时,将在上述辅助热交换器1中已蒸发的制冷剂吸入上述高级压缩机构12,能够让热泵高效率运转,上述切换机构51、52处于高级吸入状态。On the other hand, the pressure difference between the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 is greater than or equal to a predetermined value and the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is greater than the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16. When the pressure is high, the refrigerant evaporated in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is sucked into the high-level compression mechanism 12, so that the heat pump can operate with high efficiency, and the switching mechanisms 51 and 52 are in the high-level suction state.
第四方面发明是这样的,在第一到第三方面中任一方面发明中,该制冷装置包括经济器管道53、减压机构54以及经济器热交换器55。上述经济器管道53从上述高温热交换器13和上述高级膨胀机构14之间的制冷剂管道分出来,与上述低级压缩机构11和上述高级压缩机构12之间的制冷剂管道相连接。上述减压机构54将上述经济器管道53中的制冷剂减压。上述经济器热交换器55让上述经济器管道53中的被上述减压机构54减压后的制冷剂与从上述高温热交换器13流向上述高级膨胀机构14的高压制冷剂进行热交换。The fourth aspect of the invention is as follows. In any one of the first to third aspects of the invention, the refrigerating device includes an economizer pipe 53 , a decompression mechanism 54 and an economizer heat exchanger 55 . The economizer pipeline 53 is branched from the refrigerant pipeline between the high-temperature heat exchanger 13 and the high-level expansion mechanism 14 , and connected to the refrigerant pipeline between the low-level compression mechanism 11 and the high-level compression mechanism 12 . The decompression mechanism 54 decompresses the refrigerant in the economizer pipe 53 . The economizer heat exchanger 55 allows the refrigerant decompressed by the decompression mechanism 54 in the economizer pipe 53 to exchange heat with the high-pressure refrigerant flowing from the high-temperature heat exchanger 13 to the advanced expansion mechanism 14 .
在第四方面发明中,与不设置上述经济器热交换器55的情况相比,能够使从上述高温热交换器13流向上述高级膨胀机构14的制冷剂的过冷却度更大,热泵的高效率运转成为可能。In the fourth aspect of the invention, compared with the case where the economizer heat exchanger 55 is not provided, the degree of subcooling of the refrigerant flowing from the high-temperature heat exchanger 13 to the high-stage expansion mechanism 14 can be made larger, and the heat pump efficiency can be increased. Efficient operation becomes possible.
第五方面发明是这样的,在第一方面发明中,该制冷装置包括低级旁路通路18和压缩机构调节部41。上述低级旁路通路18将上述低级压缩机构11旁路。在上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷的情况下,上述压缩机构调节部41一边至少切换为高级单独压缩动作或者双级压缩动作,一边对上述低级压缩机构11和上述高级压缩机构12的运转状态进行调节。在上述高级单独压缩动作下,当上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差小于规定值时或者上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力在上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力以下时,根据上述高温热交换器13的加热负荷调节上述高级压缩机构12的工作容量,让上述低级压缩机构11停止运转。在上述双级压缩动作下,当上述压力差在规定值以上且上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力高于上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力时,根据上述高温热交换器13的加热负荷调节上述高级压缩机构12的工作容量,根据上述低温热交换器16的冷却负荷调节上述低级压缩机构11的工作容量。The fifth aspect of the invention is such that, in the first aspect of the invention, the refrigerating apparatus includes the low-stage bypass passage 18 and the compression mechanism adjusting portion 41 . The low-stage bypass passage 18 bypasses the low-stage compression mechanism 11 . When the heating load is greater than the cooling load, the compression mechanism adjustment unit 41 adjusts the operating states of the low-stage compression mechanism 11 and the high-stage compression mechanism 12 while switching to at least a high-stage single compression operation or a two-stage compression operation. . Under the above-mentioned high-level individual compression operation, when the pressure difference between the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 is less than a predetermined value or the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than that of the low-temperature heat exchanger When the evaporating pressure of the heat exchanger 16 is lower than that, the working capacity of the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12 is adjusted according to the heating load of the above-mentioned high-temperature heat exchanger 13, and the operation of the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 is stopped. Under the above-mentioned two-stage compression operation, when the pressure difference is above a predetermined value and the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is higher than the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16, the heating load of the high-temperature heat exchanger 13 is adjusted. The working capacity of the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12 is adjusted according to the cooling load of the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16 .
这里,上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差越小,上述低级压缩机构11的吸入压力和喷出压力就越接近,双级压缩带来的热泵的工作效率的提高效果就小。而且,如果上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力低于上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力,上述低级压缩机构11的吸入制冷剂的压力和喷出制冷剂的压力就会倒过来,上述低级压缩机构11就不再起作用了。实际上,上述低级压缩机构11运转以降低吸入制冷剂的压力,但是因为在该情况下吸入制冷剂的压力低于上述低温热交换器16的最佳蒸发压力,所以热泵的工作效率降低。此外,在能够获得双级压缩带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果的压力差范围内设定该规定值。Here, the smaller the pressure difference between the evaporating pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the evaporating pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16, the closer the suction pressure and discharge pressure of the low-stage compression mechanism 11 are, and the heat pump brought about by two-stage compression The effect of improving work efficiency is small. And, if the evaporating pressure of the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than the evaporating pressure of the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16, the pressure of the suction refrigerant and the pressure of the discharge refrigerant of the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 will be reversed, and the above-mentioned low-stage compression Mechanism 11 no longer works. Actually, the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 operates to reduce the pressure of the suction refrigerant, but since the pressure of the suction refrigerant in this case is lower than the optimum evaporation pressure of the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16, the operation efficiency of the heat pump is lowered. In addition, the predetermined value is set within a pressure difference range in which the effect of improving the heat pump operating efficiency by two-stage compression can be obtained.
在第五方面发明中,在上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差小于规定值时或者上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力在上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力以下时,让上述低级压缩机构11停止运转,仅启动上述高级压缩机构12(高级单独压缩动作)。通过让上述低级压缩机构11停止运转,在上述低温热交换器16蒸发的制冷剂通过上述低级旁路通路18以后就会与在上述辅助热交换器1中已蒸发的制冷剂一起被吸入上述高级压缩机构12。In the fifth aspect of the invention, when the pressure difference between the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 is less than a predetermined value or the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than that of the low-temperature heat exchanger When the evaporating pressure is lower than 16, the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 is stopped, and only the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12 is activated (high-stage individual compression operation). By stopping the operation of the low-stage compression mechanism 11, the refrigerant evaporated in the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 passes through the low-stage bypass passage 18 and is sucked into the high-stage together with the refrigerant evaporated in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1. Compression mechanism 12.
第六方面发明是这样的,在第一方面发明中,该制冷装置包括高级旁路通路19和压缩机构调节部41。上述高级旁路通路19将上述高级压缩机构12旁路。在上述加热负荷小于上述冷却负荷的情况下,上述压缩机构调节部41一边至少切换为高级单独压缩动作或者双级压缩动作,一边对上述低级压缩机构11和上述高级压缩机构12的运转状态进行调节。在上述低级单独压缩动作下,当上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力和上述高温热交换器13的冷凝压力的压力差小于规定值时或者上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力在上述高温热交换器13的冷凝压力以上时,让上述高级压缩机构12停止运转,根据上述低温热交换器16的冷却负荷调节上述低级压缩机构11的工作容量。在上述双级压缩动作下,当上述压力差在规定值以上且上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力低于上述高温热交换器13的冷凝压力时,根据上述高温热交换器13的加热负荷调节上述高级压缩机构12的工作容量,根据上述低温热交换器16的冷却负荷调节上述低级压缩机构11的工作容量。According to the sixth aspect of the invention, in the first aspect of the invention, the refrigerating device includes the high-level bypass passage 19 and the compression mechanism regulator 41 . The high-level bypass passage 19 bypasses the high-level compression mechanism 12 . When the heating load is smaller than the cooling load, the compression mechanism adjustment unit 41 adjusts the operating states of the low-stage compression mechanism 11 and the high-stage compression mechanism 12 while switching to at least a high-stage single compression operation or a two-stage compression operation. . Under the above-mentioned low-stage individual compression operation, when the pressure difference between the condensation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the condensation pressure of the high-temperature heat exchanger 13 is less than a predetermined value or the condensation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is within the above-mentioned high-temperature heat exchange When the condensing pressure of the device 13 is above, the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12 is stopped, and the working capacity of the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 is adjusted according to the cooling load of the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16 . Under the above-mentioned two-stage compression operation, when the above-mentioned pressure difference is above a predetermined value and the condensation pressure of the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than the condensation pressure of the above-mentioned high-temperature heat exchanger 13, the heating load of the above-mentioned high-temperature heat exchanger 13 is adjusted. The working capacity of the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12 is adjusted according to the cooling load of the above-mentioned low-temperature heat exchanger 16 .
这里,上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力和上述高温热交换器13的冷凝压力的压力差越小,上述高级压缩机构12的吸入压力和喷出压力就越接近,双级压缩带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果就越小。而且,如果上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力高于上述高级压缩机构12的冷凝压力,上述高级压缩机构12的吸入制冷剂的压力和喷出制冷剂的压力就会倒过来,上述高级压缩机构12就不再起作用了。实际上,上述高级压缩机构12运转以提高喷出制冷剂的压力,但是因为在该情况下喷出制冷剂的压力高于上述高温热交换器13的最佳冷凝压力,所以热泵的工作效率下降。此外,在能够获得双级压缩带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果的压力差范围内设定该规定值。Here, the smaller the pressure difference between the condensing pressure of the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the condensing pressure of the above-mentioned high-temperature heat exchanger 13 is, the closer the suction pressure and discharge pressure of the above-mentioned advanced compression mechanism 12 are, and the heat pump brought about by two-stage compression The effect of improving work efficiency is even smaller. Moreover, if the condensing pressure of the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is higher than the condensing pressure of the above-mentioned high-level compression mechanism 12, the pressure of the suction refrigerant and the pressure of the discharge refrigerant of the above-mentioned high-level compression mechanism 12 will be reversed, and the above-mentioned high-level compression mechanism 12 doesn't work anymore. Actually, the above-mentioned advanced compression mechanism 12 operates to increase the pressure of the discharged refrigerant, but since the pressure of the discharged refrigerant is higher than the optimum condensation pressure of the above-mentioned high-temperature heat exchanger 13 in this case, the operation efficiency of the heat pump decreases. . In addition, the predetermined value is set within a pressure difference range in which the effect of improving the heat pump operating efficiency by two-stage compression can be obtained.
在第六方面发明中,上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力和上述高温热交换器13的冷凝压力的压力差小于规定值时或者上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力在上述高温热交换器13的冷凝压力以上时,让上述高级压缩机构12停止运转,仅启动上述低级压缩机构11(低级单独压缩动作)。通过让上述高级压缩机构12停止运转,从上述低级压缩机构11喷出的制冷剂就会分流,流向上述辅助热交换器1和上述高级旁路通路19。In the sixth aspect of the invention, when the pressure difference between the condensing pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the condensing pressure of the high-temperature heat exchanger 13 is less than a predetermined value or the condensing pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than that of the high-temperature heat exchanger 13 When the condensing pressure is above the condensing pressure, the above-mentioned high-stage compression mechanism 12 is stopped, and only the above-mentioned low-stage compression mechanism 11 is started (low-stage independent compression action). By stopping the operation of the high-stage compression mechanism 12 , the refrigerant discharged from the low-stage compression mechanism 11 is divided and flows into the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the high-stage bypass passage 19 .

一热泵的工作情况-The working condition of a heat pump-
接下来,说明上述热泵是如何工作的。该热泵不使用切换阀等就能够根据加热负荷和冷却负荷的状况进行加热过多运转或者冷却过多运转。先对加热过多运转和冷却过多运转做说明,然后再对单独加热运转和单独冷却运转做说明。Next, how the above heat pump works will be explained. This heat pump can perform excessive heating operation or excessive cooling operation according to the conditions of heating load and cooling load without using a switching valve or the like. First, the overheating operation and the overcooling operation will be described, and then the individual heating operation and the individual cooling operation will be described.
<加热过多运转><Excessive heating operation>
图2所示的加热过多运转是在上述热泵的加热负荷比冷却负荷大的情况下所进行的运转。此外,在本实施方式中,说明的是在室外空气温度为15℃、在上述压缩机调节部41设定的温水设定值为65℃、冷水设定值为7℃、上述热泵的必备加热能力为90%、必备冷却能力为60%的情况下进行的加热过多运转。The excessive heating operation shown in FIG. 2 is an operation performed when the heating load of the heat pump is larger than the cooling load. In addition, in this embodiment, the outdoor air temperature is 15°C, the warm water setting value set in the compressor adjustment unit 41 is 65°C, and the cold water setting value is 7°C, which is necessary for the heat pump. Overheating operation performed with the heating capacity at 90% and the required cooling capacity at 60%.
在该加热过多运转下,利用上述控制器40的压缩机调节部41调节上述高级压缩机12的转速,以使上述加热用热交换器13出口处的温水温度达到温水设定值即65℃;利用上述控制器40的压缩机调节部41对上述低级压缩机11的转速进行调节,以使上述冷却用热交换器16出口处的冷水温度达到冷水设定值即7℃。Under the overheating operation, the compressor adjustment part 41 of the controller 40 is used to adjust the rotation speed of the high-grade compressor 12 so that the temperature of the warm water at the outlet of the heat exchanger 13 for heating reaches the set value of warm water, that is, 65°C. Utilize the compressor regulating part 41 of the above-mentioned controller 40 to adjust the rotating speed of the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11, so that the temperature of the cold water at the outlet of the above-mentioned cooling heat exchanger 16 reaches the set value of cold water, that is, 7°C.
由上述高级膨胀阀调节部44将上述高级膨胀阀14设定为全开;由上述流量调节阀调节部43调节上述流量调节阀2的开度,以使上述辅助热交换器1的出口过热度达到3℃;由上述低级膨胀阀调节部45调节上述低级膨胀阀15的开度,以使上述冷却用热交换器16的出口过热度达到3℃。The above-mentioned advanced expansion valve 14 is set to be fully opened by the above-mentioned advanced expansion valve adjusting part 44; to 3°C; the opening of the low-stage expansion valve 15 is adjusted by the low-stage expansion valve regulator 45 so that the outlet superheat of the cooling heat exchanger 16 reaches 3°C.
因为在上述低级压缩机11和上述高级压缩机12开始运转以后,加热负荷比冷却负荷大,所以上述高级压缩机12的转速比上述低级压缩机11的转速高,高级压缩机12的制冷剂吸入量比低级压缩机11的制冷剂喷出量多。Since the heating load is larger than the cooling load after the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 and the above-mentioned high-stage compressor 12 start to operate, the rotation speed of the above-mentioned high-stage compressor 12 is higher than the rotation speed of the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11, and the refrigerant sucked by the high-stage compressor 12 The amount is larger than the refrigerant discharge amount of the low-stage compressor 11.
因此,在上述辅助热交换器1中蒸发的制冷剂与从上述低级压缩机11喷出的制冷剂一起被吸入上述高级压缩机12。也就是说,制冷剂在上述辅助热交换器1内自膨胀阀一侧朝着压缩机一侧(从图2所示的辅助热交换器1的左侧朝着右侧)流动。Therefore, the refrigerant evaporated in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is sucked into the high-stage compressor 12 together with the refrigerant discharged from the low-stage compressor 11 . That is, the refrigerant flows from the expansion valve side to the compressor side (from the left side to the right side of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 shown in FIG. 2 ) in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 .
从上述高级压缩机12喷出的制冷剂在上述加热用热交换器13中向上述温水回路30中的水放热而冷凝。此时,上述加热用热交换器13的冷凝温度在70℃左右,上述温水回路30中的水由于上述加热用热交换器13中的制冷剂放热而被加热到65℃。在上述加热用热交换器13中冷凝的制冷剂通过被上述高级膨胀阀调节部44设定为全开的高级膨胀阀14后分成两个支流流动。The refrigerant discharged from the high-stage compressor 12 releases heat to water in the warm water circuit 30 in the heating heat exchanger 13 to be condensed. At this time, the condensation temperature of the heating heat exchanger 13 is about 70° C., and the water in the warm water circuit 30 is heated to 65° C. due to the heat released by the refrigerant in the heating heat exchanger 13 . The refrigerant condensed in the heating heat exchanger 13 passes through the high-level expansion valve 14 set to fully open by the high-level expansion valve regulator 44 , and then divides into two branch flows.
该分流后的制冷剂的一支流被上述低级膨胀阀15减压后在上述冷却用热交换器16中从上述冷水回路33的水中吸热而蒸发。此时的上述冷却用热交换器16的蒸发温度在0℃左右,上述冷水回路33中的水由于上述冷却用热交换器16的制冷剂吸热而被冷却到7℃。在上述冷却用热交换器16中蒸发的制冷剂被吸入上述低级压缩机11并被压缩后,被喷向上述高级压缩机12的吸入侧。A part of the branched refrigerant is depressurized by the low-stage expansion valve 15 , absorbs heat from the water in the cold water circuit 33 in the cooling heat exchanger 16 , and evaporates. At this time, the evaporation temperature of the cooling heat exchanger 16 is about 0° C., and the water in the cold water circuit 33 is cooled to 7° C. due to the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the cooling heat exchanger 16 . The refrigerant evaporated in the cooling heat exchanger 16 is sucked into the low-stage compressor 11 and compressed, and then sprayed toward the suction side of the high-stage compressor 12 .
另一方面,该分流后的制冷剂的另一支流被上述流量调节阀2减压后在上述辅助热交换器1中从室外空气吸热而蒸发。此时的蒸发温度在10℃左右。在上述辅助热交换器1中蒸发的制冷剂与从上述低级压缩机11喷出的制冷剂合流后,被吸入上述高级压缩机12并被压缩后,再次被喷向上述加热用热交换器13。On the other hand, the other subflow of the divided refrigerant is depressurized by the flow regulating valve 2 and evaporates by absorbing heat from the outdoor air in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 . The evaporation temperature at this time is about 10°C. The refrigerant evaporated in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 merges with the refrigerant discharged from the low-stage compressor 11, is drawn into the high-stage compressor 12, is compressed, and is sprayed to the heating heat exchanger 13 again. .
这样一来,当加热负荷比冷却负荷大时,上述辅助热交换器1的制冷剂的流动方向是从膨胀阀一侧到压缩机一侧,上述辅助热交换器1起蒸发器的作用。因此上述制冷剂回路10能够一边保持热平衡一边进行制冷循环。Thus, when the heating load is greater than the cooling load, the refrigerant in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 flows from the expansion valve side to the compressor side, and the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 functions as an evaporator. Therefore, the refrigerant circuit 10 can perform a refrigeration cycle while maintaining heat balance.
<冷却过多运转><Excess cooling operation>
图3所示的冷却过多运转是上述热泵的加热负荷小于冷却负荷的情况下进行的运转。此外,在本实施方式中,说明的是在室外空气温度为15℃、在上述压缩机调节部41设定的温水设定值为65℃、冷水设定值为7℃、上述热泵的必备加热能力为90%、必备冷却能力为60%的情况下进行的冷却过多运转。The overcooling operation shown in FIG. 3 is an operation performed when the heating load of the heat pump is smaller than the cooling load. In addition, in this embodiment, the outdoor air temperature is 15°C, the hot water setting value set in the compressor adjustment unit 41 is 65°C, and the cold water setting value is 7°C, which is necessary for the heat pump. Excessive cooling operation performed when the heating capacity is 90% and the required cooling capacity is 60%.
在该冷却过多运转下,利用上述控制器40的压缩机调节部41调节上述高级压缩机12的转速,以使上述加热用热交换器13出口处的温水温度达到温水设定值即65℃;利用上述控制器40的压缩机调节部41调节上述低级压缩机11的转速,以使上述冷却用热交换器16出口处的冷水温度达到冷水设定值即7℃。In this overcooling operation, the compressor adjustment unit 41 of the controller 40 is used to adjust the rotation speed of the high-grade compressor 12 so that the temperature of the warm water at the outlet of the heating heat exchanger 13 reaches the set value of warm water, that is, 65°C. Utilize the compressor regulating part 41 of the above-mentioned controller 40 to adjust the rotating speed of the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11, so that the temperature of the cold water at the outlet of the above-mentioned cooling heat exchanger 16 reaches the set value of cold water, that is, 7°C.
由上述高级膨胀阀调节部44调节上述高级膨胀阀14的开度,以使上述高级膨胀阀14的出口处制冷剂温度达到上述辅助热交换器1出口处的制冷剂温度和上述冷却用热交换器16出口处的制冷剂温度之间的温度;由上述流量调节阀调节部43调节上述流量调节阀2的开度,以使上述辅助热交换器1的出口过冷却度达到2℃;由上述低级膨胀阀调节部45调节上述低级膨胀阀15的开度,以使上述冷却用热交换器16的出口过热度达到3℃。The opening degree of the above-mentioned advanced expansion valve 14 is adjusted by the above-mentioned advanced expansion valve regulator 44, so that the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the above-mentioned advanced expansion valve 14 reaches the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the cooling heat exchange The temperature between the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the device 16; the opening degree of the above-mentioned flow regulating valve 2 is adjusted by the above-mentioned flow regulating valve regulating part 43, so that the outlet subcooling degree of the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 reaches 2 ° C; by the above-mentioned The lower-stage expansion valve adjustment unit 45 adjusts the opening of the lower-stage expansion valve 15 so that the degree of superheat at the outlet of the cooling heat exchanger 16 becomes 3°C.
因为在上述低级压缩机11和上述高级压缩机12开始运转以后,加热负荷比冷却负荷小,所以上述高级压缩机12的转速比上述低级压缩机11的转速低,高级压缩机12的制冷剂吸入量比低级压缩机11的制冷剂喷出量少。Since the heating load is smaller than the cooling load after the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 and the above-mentioned high-stage compressor 12 start to operate, the rotation speed of the above-mentioned high-stage compressor 12 is lower than that of the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11, and the refrigerant sucked by the high-stage compressor 12 The amount is smaller than the refrigerant discharge amount of the low-stage compressor 11.
若如此,则上述高级压缩机12就不能将从上述低级压缩机11喷出的制冷剂全部吸进来,从上述低级压缩机11喷出的制冷剂就会有一部分流向上述辅助热交换器1。也就是说,制冷剂在上述辅助热交换器1内自压缩机一侧朝着膨胀阀一侧(从图3所示的辅助热交换器1的右侧朝向左侧)流动。If so, the high-stage compressor 12 cannot suck all the refrigerant discharged from the low-stage compressor 11 , and part of the refrigerant discharged from the low-stage compressor 11 flows to the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 . That is, the refrigerant flows from the compressor side to the expansion valve side (from the right side to the left side of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 shown in FIG. 3 ) in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 .
从上述低级压缩机11分流流向上述高级压缩机12的制冷剂在该高级压缩机12中被压缩后,喷向上述加热用热交换器13。从上述高级压缩机12喷出的制冷剂在上述加热用热交换器13中向上述温水回路30中的水放热而冷凝。此时的冷凝温度在70℃左右,上述温水回路30中的水由于上述加热用热交换器13中的制冷剂放热而被加热到65℃。在上述加热用热交换器13中冷凝的制冷剂被上述高级膨胀阀14减压。The refrigerant diverted from the low-stage compressor 11 to the high-stage compressor 12 is compressed in the high-stage compressor 12 and sprayed toward the heating heat exchanger 13 . The refrigerant discharged from the high-stage compressor 12 releases heat to water in the warm water circuit 30 in the heating heat exchanger 13 to be condensed. The condensation temperature at this time is about 70° C., and the water in the warm water circuit 30 is heated to 65° C. due to the heat released by the refrigerant in the heating heat exchanger 13 . The refrigerant condensed in the heating heat exchanger 13 is decompressed by the advanced expansion valve 14 .
另一方面,从上述低级压缩机11分流流向上述辅助热交换器1一侧的制冷剂在该辅助热交换器1中冷凝后流入上述流量调节阀2。此时的辅助热交换器1中的冷凝温度为20℃左右。流向上述流量调节阀2的制冷剂被该流量调节阀2减压后,与从上述高级膨胀阀14流出的制冷剂合流流向上述低级膨胀阀15。On the other hand, the refrigerant diverted from the low-stage compressor 11 to the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is condensed in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and then flows into the flow control valve 2 . The condensation temperature in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 at this time is about 20°C. The refrigerant flowing to the flow regulating valve 2 is decompressed by the flow regulating valve 2 , and then joins the refrigerant flowing out of the high-stage expansion valve 14 to flow to the low-stage expansion valve 15 .
流入上述低级膨胀阀15的制冷剂被减压后,在上述冷却用热交换器16中从上述冷水回路33中的水吸热而蒸发。此时的上述冷却用热交换器16的蒸发温度为0℃左右,上述冷水回路33中的水由于上述冷却用热交换器16中的制冷剂吸热而被冷却到7℃。在上述冷却用热交换器16中蒸发的制冷剂被吸入上述低级压缩机11并被压缩后,被再次喷向上述辅助热交换器1和高级压缩机12。The refrigerant flowing into the low-stage expansion valve 15 is decompressed, absorbs heat from the water in the cold water circuit 33 in the cooling heat exchanger 16 , and evaporates. At this time, the evaporation temperature of the cooling heat exchanger 16 is about 0° C., and the water in the cold water circuit 33 is cooled to 7° C. due to the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the cooling heat exchanger 16 . The refrigerant evaporated in the cooling heat exchanger 16 is sucked into the low-stage compressor 11 and compressed, and then sprayed toward the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the high-stage compressor 12 again.
这样一来,当加热负荷比冷却负荷小时,上述辅助热交换器1的制冷剂的流动方向就是从从压缩机一侧到膨胀阀一侧,上述辅助热交换器1起冷凝器的作用。因此上述制冷剂回路10能够一边保持热平衡一边进行制冷循环。Thus, when the heating load is smaller than the cooling load, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is from the compressor side to the expansion valve side, and the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 functions as a condenser. Therefore, the refrigerant circuit 10 can perform a refrigeration cycle while maintaining heat balance.
<单独加热运转><Individual heating operation>
图4所示的单独加热运转是在有上述加热负荷、无上述冷却负荷的情况下进行的运转。在该单独加热运转下,上述高级压缩机12启动,上述低级压缩机11停止。上述高级膨胀阀14处于完全打开状态,上述低级膨胀阀15处于完全关闭状态。The sole heating operation shown in FIG. 4 is an operation performed with the above-mentioned heating load and without the above-mentioned cooling load. In this heating-only operation, the high-stage compressor 12 is started, and the low-stage compressor 11 is stopped. The above-mentioned high-stage expansion valve 14 is in a fully open state, and the above-mentioned low-stage expansion valve 15 is in a fully closed state.
从上述高级压缩机12喷出的制冷剂在上述加热用热交换器13中向上述温水回路30中的水放热而冷凝。此时,上述温水回路30中的水由于上述加热用热交换器13中的制冷剂放热而被加热。在上述加热用热交换器13冷凝的制冷剂通过处于完全打开状态的高级膨胀阀14后流入上述流量调节阀2。The refrigerant discharged from the high-stage compressor 12 releases heat to water in the warm water circuit 30 in the heating heat exchanger 13 to be condensed. At this time, the water in the warm water circuit 30 is heated due to the heat released by the refrigerant in the heating heat exchanger 13 . The refrigerant condensed in the heating heat exchanger 13 passes through the advanced expansion valve 14 in a fully opened state, and then flows into the flow rate regulating valve 2 .
流入上述流量调节阀2的制冷剂被该流量调节阀2减压,成为低压制冷剂后,在上述辅助热交换器1中从室外空气吸热而蒸发。在上述辅助热交换器1中已蒸发的制冷剂被吸入上述高级压缩机12并被压缩后,再次喷向上述加热用热交换器13。这样一来,上述加热用热交换器13就成为冷凝器且上述辅助热交换器1成为蒸发器,加热负荷在上述加热用热交换器13中得到处理。The refrigerant flowing into the flow rate regulating valve 2 is decompressed by the flow rate regulating valve 2 to become a low-pressure refrigerant, and absorbs heat from the outdoor air in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 to be evaporated. The refrigerant evaporated in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is sucked into the high-stage compressor 12 and compressed, and sprayed to the heating heat exchanger 13 again. In this way, the heating heat exchanger 13 serves as a condenser and the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 serves as an evaporator, and the heating load is processed in the heating heat exchanger 13 .
<单独冷却运转><Individual cooling operation>
图5所示的单独冷却运转是在有上述冷却负荷、无上述加热负荷的情况下进行的运转。在该单独冷却运转下,上述高级压缩机12停止,上述低级压缩机11启动。而且,上述高级膨胀阀14处于完全关闭状态,上述低级膨胀阀15处于完全打开状态。The individual cooling operation shown in FIG. 5 is an operation performed with the above-mentioned cooling load and without the above-mentioned heating load. In this individual cooling operation, the above-mentioned high-stage compressor 12 is stopped, and the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 is started. Furthermore, the above-mentioned high-stage expansion valve 14 is in a fully closed state, and the above-mentioned low-stage expansion valve 15 is in a fully open state.
从上述低级压缩机11喷出的制冷剂在上述辅助热交换器1中向室外空气放热而冷凝后,被上述流量调节阀2减压而成为低压制冷剂。该低压制冷剂通过处于完全打开状态的低级膨胀阀15后在上述冷却用热交换器16中从上述冷水回路33中的水吸热而蒸发。此时,上述冷水回路33中的水由于上述冷却用热交换器16中的制冷剂吸热而被冷却。在上述冷却用热交换器16中蒸发的制冷剂被吸入上述低级压缩机11并被压缩后,再次喷向上述辅助热交换器1。这样一来,上述辅助热交换器1成为冷凝器且上述冷却用热交换器16成为蒸发器,冷却负荷在上述冷却用热交换器16中得到处理。The refrigerant discharged from the low-stage compressor 11 releases heat to the outdoor air in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 to condense, and is decompressed by the flow regulating valve 2 to become a low-pressure refrigerant. The low-pressure refrigerant absorbs heat from the water in the cold water circuit 33 in the cooling heat exchanger 16 after passing through the fully opened low-stage expansion valve 15 to evaporate. At this time, the water in the cold water circuit 33 is cooled by the refrigerant in the cooling heat exchanger 16 absorbing heat. The refrigerant evaporated in the cooling heat exchanger 16 is sucked into the low-stage compressor 11 and compressed, and then sprayed to the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 again. In this way, the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 serves as a condenser and the cooling heat exchanger 16 serves as an evaporator, and the cooling load is processed by the cooling heat exchanger 16 .
-实施方式的效果--Effect of Embodiment-
根据本实施方式,与将上述辅助热交换器1布置在高压制冷剂管道系统、低压制冷剂管道系统中的情况相比,将上述辅助热交换器1布置在上述制冷剂回路10的中压制冷剂管道系统中以后,能够降低用于将制冷剂供向上述辅助热交换器1的上述制冷剂回路10的压缩动力。这样一来就能够使上述热泵的效率不下降。不用进行控制就能够让所需量的制冷剂流向上述辅助热交换器1。这样一来,就能够使上述热泵的工作效率比现有技术高。According to this embodiment, compared with the case where the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is arranged in the high-pressure refrigerant piping system and the low-pressure refrigerant piping system, the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is arranged in the medium-pressure refrigeration system of the above-mentioned refrigerant circuit 10 After entering the refrigerant piping system, the compression power of the refrigerant circuit 10 for supplying the refrigerant to the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be reduced. In this way, the efficiency of the heat pump described above can be prevented from being lowered. A desired amount of refrigerant can flow to the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 without control. In this way, the working efficiency of the above-mentioned heat pump can be made higher than that of the prior art.
根据本实施方式,通过根据上述加热负荷调节上述高级压缩机12,根据上述冷却负荷调节上述低级压缩机11,在上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷的情况下就能够让上述辅助热交换器1起蒸发器的作用;在上述冷却负荷大于上述加热负荷的情况下就能够让上述辅助热交换器1起冷凝器的作用。这样就能够根据加热负荷和冷却负荷的状况使上述辅助热交换器1成为蒸发器或者冷凝器,无需在上述制冷剂回路10中设置切换阀。According to this embodiment, by adjusting the high-stage compressor 12 according to the heating load and the low-stage compressor 11 according to the cooling load, the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be evaporated together when the heating load is greater than the cooling load. The role of the device; in the case of the above-mentioned cooling load is greater than the above-mentioned heating load, the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be made to function as a condenser. In this way, the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be used as an evaporator or a condenser according to the conditions of the heating load and the cooling load, and it is not necessary to provide a switching valve in the refrigerant circuit 10 .
根据本实施方式,能够利用上述流量调节阀调节部43使流入上述辅助热交换器1的制冷剂完全蒸发,从而能够确保上述辅助热交换器1的热交换量。这样一来,在上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷的状态下也能够可靠地使上述制冷剂回路10的热平衡达到平衡。According to the present embodiment, the refrigerant flowing into the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be completely evaporated by the flow rate regulating valve adjustment unit 43 , and the heat exchange amount of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be ensured. In this way, the heat balance of the refrigerant circuit 10 can be reliably balanced even in a state where the heating load is greater than the cooling load.
根据本实施方式,能够利用上述流量调节阀调节部43使流入上述辅助热交换器1的制冷剂可靠地冷凝,从而能够确保上述辅助热交换器1的热交换量。这样一来,在上述加热负荷小于上述冷却负荷的状态也能够可靠地使上述制冷剂回路10的热平衡达到平衡。According to the present embodiment, the refrigerant flowing into the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be reliably condensed by the flow rate regulating valve adjustment unit 43 , and the heat exchange amount of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be ensured. In this way, even in a state where the heating load is smaller than the cooling load, the heat balance of the refrigerant circuit 10 can be reliably brought into balance.
-实施方式的变形例1--Modification 1 of Embodiment-
图6所示的实施方式的变形例1与上述实施方式的不同之处在于:在该变形例1中,设置有对上述制冷剂回路10中的制冷剂的流动路径进行切换的切换机构51、52以及操作该切换机构51、52的切换机构操作部(无图示)。以下仅对不同之处做说明,对与上述实施方式相同的部分不再做说明。Modification 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is different from the above-mentioned embodiment in that in Modification 1, a switching mechanism 51 for switching the flow path of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit 10 is provided. 52 and a switching mechanism operating part (not shown) for operating the switching mechanisms 51, 52. Only the differences will be described below, and the same parts as those in the above embodiment will not be described again.
在变形例1的制冷剂回路10中,设置有连接上述支管3a和上述第四制冷剂管道9的辅助管道50。该辅助管道50上设置有第一开关阀51,在上述支管3a的靠近压缩机一侧的连接管道4附近设置有第二开关阀52。In the refrigerant circuit 10 of Modification 1, an auxiliary pipe 50 connecting the branch pipe 3 a and the fourth refrigerant pipe 9 is provided. The auxiliary pipeline 50 is provided with a first on-off valve 51 , and a second on-off valve 52 is installed near the connecting pipeline 4 on the side of the branch pipe 3 a close to the compressor.
这些开关阀51、52构成上述切换机构51、52。These on-off valves 51, 52 constitute the switching mechanisms 51, 52 described above.
此外,上述切换机构51、52的第一状态为第一开关阀51关闭且第二开关阀52打开的状态;上述切换机构51、52的第二状态为第一开关阀51打开且第二开关阀52关闭的状态。In addition, the first state of the above-mentioned switching mechanism 51, 52 is the state that the first switch valve 51 is closed and the second switch valve 52 is open; the second state of the above-mentioned switching mechanism 51, 52 is that the first switch valve 51 is open and the second switch valve is open. Valve 52 is closed.
该变形例1中的热泵构成为:不仅能够利用第一、第二开关阀51、52进行上述四种运转(加热过多运转、冷却过多运转、单独加热运转、单独冷却运转),还能够利用第一、第二开关阀51、52进行第二加热过多运转。在本实施方式中,当上述切换机构51、52处于第一状态时能够进行上述四种运转;当上述切换机构51、52处于第二状态时则能够进行第二加热过多运转。此外,该第二加热过多运转是在上述热泵的加热负荷大于冷却负荷的情况下进行的运转。The heat pump in Modification 1 is configured not only to be able to perform the above-mentioned four operations (overheating operation, overcooling operation, heating operation alone, and cooling operation only) by using the first and second on-off valves 51 and 52, but also to The second excessive heating operation is performed using the first and second on-off valves 51 and 52 . In this embodiment, the above four operations can be performed when the switching mechanisms 51 and 52 are in the first state; the second excessive heating operation can be performed when the switching mechanisms 51 and 52 are in the second state. In addition, this second excessive heating operation is an operation performed when the heating load of the heat pump is larger than the cooling load.
这里,在上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷,上述辅助热交换器1和上述低温热交换器16都起蒸发器的作用的情况下,上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述冷却用热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差越小,上述低级压缩机11的吸入压力和喷出压力就越接近,双级压缩带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果就越小。而且,如果上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力比上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力低,上述低级压缩机11的吸入制冷剂的压力和喷出制冷剂的压力就会倒过来,上述低级压缩机11就不再起作用了。实际上,上述低级压缩机11运转以降低吸入制冷剂的压力,但是因为在该情况下,上述吸入制冷剂的压力低于上述冷却用热交换器16的最佳蒸发压力,所以热泵的工作效率下降。Here, when the heating load is greater than the cooling load and both the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 function as evaporators, the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the cooling heat exchanger The smaller the pressure difference of the evaporating pressure of 16 is, the closer the suction pressure and the discharge pressure of the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 are, and the effect of improving the working efficiency of the heat pump brought by the two-stage compression is smaller. Moreover, if the evaporating pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than the evaporating pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16, the pressure of the suction refrigerant and the discharge refrigerant pressure of the low-stage compressor 11 will be reversed, and the low-stage compression Machine 11 just doesn't work anymore. Actually, the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 operates to lower the pressure of the suction refrigerant, but because in this case, the pressure of the above-mentioned suction refrigerant is lower than the optimum evaporation pressure of the above-mentioned cooling heat exchanger 16, the operating efficiency of the heat pump decline.
因此,当上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差小于规定值时或者上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力在上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力以下时,打开上述第一开关阀51,关闭第二开关阀52(切换机构51、52的低级吸入状态)。这样一来,制冷剂就会从上述辅助热交换器1流向上述低级压缩机11的吸入侧。Therefore, when the pressure difference between the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 is smaller than a predetermined value or the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 , open the first on-off valve 51 and close the second on-off valve 52 (the low-stage suction state of the switching mechanisms 51 and 52). In this way, the refrigerant flows from the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 to the suction side of the low-stage compressor 11 .
此外,在上述切换机构操作部,从室外空气温度推测上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力,从上述冷却用热交换器16出口处的冷水温度推测上述冷却用热交换器16的蒸发压力。因此,在上述室外空气温度与上述冷却用热交换器16出口处的冷水温度的温度差小于规定值且上述室外空气温度在上述冷水出口温度以下时,在上述切换机构操作部切换为低级吸入状态。In addition, in the switching mechanism operation unit, the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is estimated from the outdoor air temperature, and the evaporation pressure of the cooling heat exchanger 16 is estimated from the cold water temperature at the outlet of the cooling heat exchanger 16 . Therefore, when the temperature difference between the outdoor air temperature and the cold water temperature at the outlet of the cooling heat exchanger 16 is smaller than a predetermined value and the outdoor air temperature is lower than the cold water outlet temperature, the switching mechanism operation unit is switched to the low-stage suction state. .
这里,在能够获得双级压缩带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果的压力差范围内设定该规定值。Here, the predetermined value is set within a pressure difference range in which the effect of improving the heat pump operating efficiency by two-stage compression can be obtained.
关闭第一开关阀51、打开第二开关阀52的情况(切换机构51、52的高级吸入状态)下的制冷剂回路10,与上述实施方式的制冷剂回路10大致相同,故省略说明。The refrigerant circuit 10 in the case where the first on-off valve 51 is closed and the second on-off valve 52 is opened (the high-level suction state of the switching mechanisms 51 and 52 ) is substantially the same as the refrigerant circuit 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment, so description thereof will be omitted.
上述切换机构操作部就这样根据上述室外空气温度和上述冷却用热交换器16出口处的冷水温度在低级吸入状态和高级吸入状态之间切换。这样一来,就能够根据需要将在上述辅助热交换器1中蒸发的制冷剂吸入上述低级压缩机11或者上述高级压缩机12内,从而能够让热泵总是高效率地运转。In this way, the switching mechanism operating unit switches between the low-stage suction state and the high-stage suction state according to the outdoor air temperature and the cold water temperature at the outlet of the cooling heat exchanger 16 . In this way, the refrigerant evaporated in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 can be sucked into the low-stage compressor 11 or the high-stage compressor 12 as needed, so that the heat pump can always be operated efficiently.
-实施方式的变形例2--Modification 2 of Embodiment-
图7所示实施方式的变形例2与上述实施方式的不同之处在于:在该变形例2中设置有经济器热交换器55。以下仅对不同之处做说明,对与上述实施方式相同的部分不再做说明。Modification 2 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 is different from the above-mentioned embodiment in that an economizer heat exchanger 55 is provided in this modification 2. As shown in FIG. Only the differences will be described below, and the same parts as those in the above embodiment will not be described again.
在变形例2的制冷剂回路10中设置有使上述第二制冷剂管道6和上述压缩机一侧的连接管道4连通的经济器管道53。上述经济器热交换器55具有高温流路和低温流路,并且布置成:该高温流路与上述第二制冷剂管道6连通,上述低温流路与经济器管道53连通。而且,上述经济器热交换器55和上述经济器管道53的靠近上述第二制冷剂管道6一侧的那一部分管道之间设置有减压阀54。In the refrigerant circuit 10 according to Modification 2, an economizer pipe 53 that communicates the second refrigerant pipe 6 with the connecting pipe 4 on the compressor side is provided. The economizer heat exchanger 55 has a high-temperature flow path and a low-temperature flow path, and is arranged such that the high-temperature flow path communicates with the second refrigerant pipeline 6 , and the low-temperature flow path communicates with the economizer pipeline 53 . Moreover, a decompression valve 54 is provided between the above-mentioned economizer heat exchanger 55 and the part of the above-mentioned economizer pipeline 53 that is close to the side of the second refrigerant pipeline 6 .
从上述加热用热交换器13流出的制冷剂有一部分分流,被减压阀54减压后流向经济器热交换器55的低温流路,剩余的制冷剂流向经济器热交换器55的高温流路。Part of the refrigerant flowing out of the above-mentioned heating heat exchanger 13 is divided, and after being decompressed by the pressure reducing valve 54, it flows to the low-temperature flow path of the economizer heat exchanger 55, and the remaining refrigerant flows to the high-temperature flow path of the economizer heat exchanger 55. road.
在该经济器热交换器55中,上述高温流路中的制冷剂和上述低温流路中的制冷剂进行热交换,该高温流路的制冷剂被冷却。这样一来,与不设置上述经济器热交换器55的情况相比,能够增大从上述高温热交换器13流向上述高级膨胀阀14的制冷剂的过冷却度,从而能够提高上述热泵的效率。In the economizer heat exchanger 55, the refrigerant in the high-temperature flow path and the refrigerant in the low-temperature flow path exchange heat, and the refrigerant in the high-temperature flow path is cooled. In this way, compared with the case where the economizer heat exchanger 55 is not provided, the subcooling degree of the refrigerant flowing from the high-temperature heat exchanger 13 to the advanced expansion valve 14 can be increased, thereby improving the efficiency of the heat pump. .
-实施方式的变形例3--Modification 3 of the embodiment-
图8到图10所示的实施方式的变形例3与上述实施方式的不同之处在于:上述制冷剂回路10中的制冷剂能够将上述低级压缩机11或者上述高级压缩机12旁路。以下仅对不同之处做说明,对与上述实施方式相同的部分不再做说明。Modification 3 of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is different from the above-mentioned embodiment in that the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit 10 can bypass the low-stage compressor 11 or the high-stage compressor 12 . Only the differences will be described below, and the same parts as those in the above embodiment will not be described again.
在变形例3的制冷剂回路10中设置有将上述低级压缩机11旁路的低级旁路管道(低级旁路通路)18、将上述高级压缩机12旁路的高级旁路管道(高级旁路通路)19。而且,各条旁路管道18、19上分别设置有止回阀CV3、CV4。这些止回阀CV3、CV4被设置成:允许制冷剂从各压缩机11、12的吸入侧流向喷出侧,禁止制冷剂逆向流动。In the refrigerant circuit 10 of Modification 3, a low-stage bypass pipe (low-stage bypass passage) 18 that bypasses the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11, and a high-stage bypass pipe (high-stage bypass passage) 18 that bypasses the above-mentioned high-stage compressor 12 are provided. access) 19. Moreover, check valves CV3 and CV4 are respectively provided on the respective bypass pipes 18 and 19 . These check valves CV3 and CV4 are provided so as to allow the refrigerant to flow from the suction side to the discharge side of the respective compressors 11 and 12 and to prohibit the refrigerant from flowing backward.
上述控制器40中的压缩机调节部41与上述实施方式不同,能够一边对双级压缩动作、高级单独压缩运转、低级单独压缩运转进行切换,一边调节上述低级压缩机11和上述高级压缩机12的运转状态。此外,因为双级压缩动作与上述实施方式中的加热过多运转和冷却过多运转的动作相同,故省略说明。The compressor adjustment unit 41 in the controller 40 is different from the above-mentioned embodiment in that it can adjust the low-stage compressor 11 and the high-stage compressor 12 while switching between two-stage compression operation, high-stage individual compression operation, and low-stage individual compression operation. operating status. In addition, since the two-stage compression operation is the same as the operation of the excessive heating operation and the excessive cooling operation in the above-mentioned embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.
<高级单独压缩运转><Advanced individual compression operation>
这里,在上述加热负荷大于上述冷却负荷,上述辅助热交换器1和上述低温热交换器16都起蒸发器的作用的情况下,上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述冷却用热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差越小,上述低级压缩机11的吸入压力和喷出压力越接近,双级压缩所带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果越小。而且,如果上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力低于上述冷却用热交换器16的蒸发压力,上述低级压缩机11中的吸入制冷剂的压力和喷出制冷剂的压力就会倒过来,上述低级压缩机11就不再起作用了。Here, when the heating load is greater than the cooling load and both the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 function as evaporators, the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the cooling heat exchanger The smaller the pressure difference of the evaporating pressure of 16 is, the closer the suction pressure and the discharge pressure of the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 are, and the effect of improving the working efficiency of the heat pump brought by the two-stage compression is smaller. And, if the evaporating pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than the evaporating pressure of the cooling heat exchanger 16, the pressure of the suction refrigerant and the pressure of the discharge refrigerant in the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 will be reversed, and the above-mentioned The low-stage compressor 11 is no longer functional.
实际上,上述低级压缩机11运转以降低吸入制冷剂的压力,但是因为在该情况下吸入制冷剂的压力低于上述冷却用热交换器16的最佳蒸发压力,所以热泵的工作效率下降。Actually, the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 operates to lower the pressure of the suction refrigerant, but since the pressure of the suction refrigerant in this case is lower than the optimum evaporation pressure of the above-mentioned cooling heat exchanger 16, the operation efficiency of the heat pump decreases.
因此,当上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力和上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力的压力差小于规定值时或者上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力在上述低温热交换器16的蒸发压力以下时,便由上述压缩机调节部41从双级压缩动作切换为高级单独压缩运转。在该高级单独压缩运转下,上述低级压缩机11停止,仅上述高级压缩机12启动。由于上述低级压缩机11停止,在上述冷却用热交换器16中蒸发的制冷剂在通过上述低级旁路管道18后,就会与在上述辅助热交换器1中已蒸发的制冷剂一起被吸入上述高级压缩机12。Therefore, when the pressure difference between the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 is smaller than a predetermined value or the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is lower than the evaporation pressure of the low-temperature heat exchanger 16 At this time, the above-mentioned compressor regulator 41 switches from the two-stage compression operation to the high-level single compression operation. In this high-stage individual compression operation, the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 is stopped, and only the above-mentioned high-stage compressor 12 is started. Since the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 stops, the refrigerant evaporated in the above-mentioned cooling heat exchanger 16 passes through the above-mentioned low-stage bypass pipe 18, and is sucked together with the refrigerant evaporated in the above-mentioned auxiliary heat exchanger 1. The above-mentioned advanced compressor 12 .
此外,本实施方式的变形例3中,从室外空气温度推测上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力,从上述冷却用热交换器16出口处的冷水温度推测上述冷却用热交换器16的蒸发压力。因此,在上述室外空气温度与上述冷却用热交换器16出口处的冷水温度的温度差小于规定值或者上述室外空气温度在上述冷水出口温度以下时,由上述压缩机调节部41切换为高级单独压缩运转。这里,在能够获得双级压缩带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果的压力差范围内设定该规定值。In Modification 3 of the present embodiment, the evaporation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is estimated from the outdoor air temperature, and the evaporation pressure of the cooling heat exchanger 16 is estimated from the temperature of cold water at the outlet of the cooling heat exchanger 16. . Therefore, when the temperature difference between the outdoor air temperature and the cold water temperature at the outlet of the cooling heat exchanger 16 is less than a predetermined value or when the outdoor air temperature is lower than the cold water outlet temperature, the compressor regulator 41 switches to the high-level independent Compression runs. Here, the predetermined value is set within a pressure difference range in which the effect of improving the heat pump operating efficiency by two-stage compression can be obtained.
在该高级单独压缩运转下必须让上述低级压缩机11停止,所以不能通过调节上述低级压缩机11的转速来控制上述冷却用热交换器16的冷水出口的温度。在该高级单独压缩运转下,通过调节上述低级膨胀阀15的开度来控制该冷水出口的温度。此外,对上述加热用热交换器13出口处的温水温度的控制方法与上述实施方式一样,是通过调节上述高级压缩机12的转速来进行的。In this high-level individual compression operation, the low-stage compressor 11 must be stopped, so the temperature of the cold water outlet of the cooling heat exchanger 16 cannot be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed of the low-stage compressor 11 . Under the high-stage single-compression operation, the temperature of the cold water outlet is controlled by adjusting the opening degree of the above-mentioned low-stage expansion valve 15 . In addition, the method of controlling the temperature of the warm water at the outlet of the heating heat exchanger 13 is the same as the above-mentioned embodiment, by adjusting the rotation speed of the above-mentioned high-level compressor 12 .
这样一来就能够让上述热泵根据需要以双级压缩或者单级压缩进行运转,从而能够让热泵总是高效率地运转。This allows the heat pump to operate with two-stage compression or single-stage compression as required, thus enabling the heat pump to always operate at high efficiency.
<低级单独压缩运转><Low level individual compression operation>
在上述加热负荷小于上述冷却负荷,上述辅助热交换器1和上述加热用热交换器13都起冷凝器的作用的情况下,上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力和上述加热用热交换器13的冷凝压力的压力差越小,上述高级压缩机12的吸入压力和喷出压力越接近,双级压缩所带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果越小。而且,如果上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力高于上述加热用热交换器13的冷凝压力,上述高级压缩机12中的吸入制冷剂的压力和喷出制冷剂的压力就会倒过来,上述高级压缩机12就不再起作用了。When the heating load is smaller than the cooling load and both the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the heating heat exchanger 13 function as condensers, the condensation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the heating heat exchanger 13 The smaller the pressure difference of the condensing pressure, the closer the suction pressure and discharge pressure of the above-mentioned advanced compressor 12 are, and the smaller the effect of improving the working efficiency of the heat pump brought by the two-stage compression is. And, if the condensing pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is higher than the condensing pressure of the heating heat exchanger 13, the pressure of the suction refrigerant in the above-mentioned high-level compressor 12 and the pressure of the discharge refrigerant will be reversed, and the above-mentioned The advanced compressor 12 is no longer functional.
实际上,上述高级压缩机12运转以提高喷出制冷剂的压力,但是因为在该情况下喷出制冷剂的压力高于上述加热用热交换器13的最佳冷凝压力,所以热泵的工作效率下降。Actually, the above-mentioned high-level compressor 12 operates to increase the pressure of the discharged refrigerant, but since the pressure of the discharged refrigerant in this case is higher than the optimum condensation pressure of the above-mentioned heating heat exchanger 13, the operating efficiency of the heat pump decline.
因此,当上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力和上述加热用热交换器13的冷凝压力的压力差小于规定值时或者上述辅助热交换器1的冷凝压力在上述加热用热交换器13的冷凝压力以上时,便由上述压缩机调节部41从双级压缩动作切换为低级单独压缩运转。在该低级单独压缩运转下,上述高级压缩机12停止,仅上述低级压缩机11启动。由于上述高级压缩机12停止,从上述低级压缩机11喷出的制冷剂就会分流而流向上述辅助热交换器1和上述高级旁路管道19中。Therefore, when the pressure difference between the condensation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the condensation pressure of the heating heat exchanger 13 is smaller than a predetermined value or the condensation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is condensed in the heating heat exchanger 13 When the pressure is higher than that, the above-mentioned compressor regulator 41 switches from the two-stage compression operation to the low-stage single compression operation. In this low-stage individual compression operation, the above-mentioned high-stage compressor 12 is stopped, and only the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 is started. Since the high-stage compressor 12 is stopped, the refrigerant discharged from the low-stage compressor 11 is diverted and flows into the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 and the high-stage bypass pipe 19 .
此外,在本实施方式中,从温水出口温度推测上述加热用热交换器13的冷凝压力。因此,在上述室外空气温度与上述温水出口温度的温度差小于规定值时或者上述室外空气温度在上述温水出口温度以上时,由上述压缩机调节部41切换为低级单独压缩运转。这里,在能够获得双级压缩带来的热泵工作效率的提高效果的、从压力差换算得到的温度差范围内设定该规定值。In addition, in this embodiment, the condensation pressure of the said heating heat exchanger 13 is estimated from the hot water outlet temperature. Therefore, when the temperature difference between the outdoor air temperature and the hot water outlet temperature is smaller than a predetermined value or when the outdoor air temperature is higher than the hot water outlet temperature, the compressor regulator 41 switches to low-stage individual compression operation. Here, the predetermined value is set within a temperature difference range converted from a pressure difference in which the effect of improving the heat pump operating efficiency by two-stage compression can be obtained.
在该低级单独压缩运转下必须让上述高级压缩机12停止,所以不能通过调节上述高级压缩机12的转速来控制上述加热用热交换器13的温水出口的温度。在该低级单独压缩运转下,通过调节上述高级膨胀阀14的开度来控制该温水出口的温度。此外,上述冷却用热交换器16出口处的冷水温度的控制方法与上述实施方式一样,是通过调节上述低级压缩机11的转速来进行的。In this low-stage individual compression operation, the high-stage compressor 12 must be stopped, so the temperature of the hot water outlet of the heating heat exchanger 13 cannot be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed of the high-stage compressor 12 . Under the low-stage single compression operation, the temperature of the warm water outlet is controlled by adjusting the opening degree of the above-mentioned high-stage expansion valve 14 . In addition, the method of controlling the temperature of the cold water at the outlet of the cooling heat exchanger 16 is performed by adjusting the rotation speed of the low-stage compressor 11 as in the above-mentioned embodiment.
这样一来就能够让上述热泵根据需要以双级压缩或者单级压缩进行运转,从而能够让热泵总是高效率地运转。This allows the heat pump to operate with two-stage compression or single-stage compression as required, thus enabling the heat pump to always operate at high efficiency.
-实施方式的变形例4--Modification 4 of Embodiment-
图12所示的实施方式的变形例4与上述实施方式的不同之处在于:能够切换为上述加热过多运转、冷却过多运转、单独加热运转、单独冷却运转、第二加热过多运转、高级单独压缩运转以及低级单独压缩运转所有的运转。以下仅对不同之处做说明,对与上述实施方式相同的部分不再做说明。Modification 4 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 12 is different from the above-mentioned embodiment in that it can be switched to the above-mentioned overheating operation, overcooling operation, individual heating operation, individual cooling operation, second overheating operation, High-level individual compression operation and low-level individual compression operation all operate. Only the differences will be described below, and the same parts as those in the above embodiment will not be described again.
变形例4的制冷剂回路10的情况是这样的:将上述高级压缩机12旁路的高级旁路管道(高级旁路通路)19设置在变形例1的制冷剂回路10(参照图6)中,而且在高级旁路管道19上设置有止回阀CV3,该止回阀CV3允许制冷剂从高级压缩机12的吸入侧流向喷出侧,禁止制冷剂逆向流动。In the case of the refrigerant circuit 10 of Modification 4, a high-stage bypass pipe (high-stage bypass passage) 19 that bypasses the above-mentioned high-stage compressor 12 is provided in the refrigerant circuit 10 of Modification 1 (see FIG. 6 ). , and a check valve CV3 is provided on the high-level bypass pipe 19, the check valve CV3 allows the refrigerant to flow from the suction side to the discharge side of the high-level compressor 12, and prohibits the reverse flow of the refrigerant.
这里,在进行高级单独压缩运转的情况下,上述低级压缩机11停止,第一、第二开关阀51、52完全打开。这样一来,在上述冷却侧热交换器16蒸发的制冷剂通过辅助管道50后,会与在上述辅助热交换器1中蒸发的制冷剂合流,该合流制冷剂被吸入上述高级压缩机12。此外,高级单独压缩运转以外的运转与以上所述相同,故省略说明。Here, when the high-stage individual compression operation is performed, the above-mentioned low-stage compressor 11 is stopped, and the first and second on-off valves 51 and 52 are fully opened. In this way, the refrigerant evaporated in the cooling-side heat exchanger 16 passes through the auxiliary pipe 50 and merges with the refrigerant evaporated in the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 , and the merged refrigerant is sucked into the high-stage compressor 12 . In addition, operations other than the high-level individual compression operation are the same as those described above, and thus description thereof will be omitted.
这样一来就能够根据需要切换上述热泵的运转,从而能够让热泵总是高效率地运转。In this way, the operation of the heat pump can be switched as needed, so that the heat pump can always be operated with high efficiency.
(其它实施方式)(Other implementations)
可以在上述实施方式中采用以下结构。The following structures can be employed in the above-described embodiments.
在本实施方式中,在上述流量调节阀调节部43根据上述负荷判断部42的判断信号对上述制冷剂回路10进行过热度控制或者过冷却度控制,但并不限于此。例如,在从上述压缩机一侧的连接管道4分出来的支管3a或者从上述膨胀阀一侧的连接管道7分出来的支管3b上设置检测制冷剂的流动方向的检测部,并根据来自该检测部的检测信号对上述制冷剂回路10进行过热度控制或者过冷却度控制,这样做也是可以的。In this embodiment, the degree of superheating or the degree of subcooling of the refrigerant circuit 10 is controlled in the flow regulating valve adjustment unit 43 based on the determination signal of the load determination unit 42 , but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, on the branch pipe 3a branched from the connecting pipe 4 on the side of the compressor or the branch pipe 3b branched from the connecting pipe 7 on the side of the expansion valve, a detection part for detecting the flow direction of the refrigerant is provided, and according to the It is also possible to control the degree of superheat or the degree of subcooling of the refrigerant circuit 10 by the detection signal of the detection unit.
也就是说,在上述检测部检测出制冷剂从上述辅助热交换器1的膨胀阀一侧流向压缩机一侧的情况下,由上述流量调节阀调节部43进行过热度控制;在上述检测部检测出制冷剂从上述辅助热交换器1的压缩机一侧流向膨胀阀一侧的情况下,由上述流量调节阀调节部43进行过冷却度控制。这样一来上述流量调节阀调节部43进行的控制就非常可靠。That is, when the detection unit detects that the refrigerant flows from the side of the expansion valve of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 to the side of the compressor, the degree of superheat is controlled by the adjustment unit 43 of the flow control valve; When it is detected that the refrigerant flows from the compressor side of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 to the expansion valve side, the degree of subcooling is controlled by the flow regulating valve regulating unit 43 . In this way, the control performed by the flow regulating valve regulating part 43 is very reliable.
在本实施方式中,是从上述室外空气温度推测上述辅助热交换器1的蒸发压力/冷凝压力;从上述冷水出口温度推测上述冷却用热交换器16的蒸发压力;从上述温水出口温度推测上述加热用热交换器13的冷凝压力的。但并不限于此,例如可以用压力传感器直接检测这些压力。In this embodiment, the evaporation pressure/condensation pressure of the auxiliary heat exchanger 1 is estimated from the outdoor air temperature; the evaporation pressure of the cooling heat exchanger 16 is estimated from the cold water outlet temperature; Heating with heat exchanger 13 of condensing pressure. However, it is not limited thereto, for example, these pressures can be directly detected by a pressure sensor.
还可以用温度传感器检测通过这些热交换器1、13、16的制冷剂的温度,从该检测值推测压力。在该情况下,也能够收到和本发明一样的效果。The temperature of the refrigerant passing through these heat exchangers 1, 13, and 16 may be detected by a temperature sensor, and the pressure may be estimated from the detected value. Also in this case, the same effect as the present invention can be obtained.
此外,上述实施方式是本质上优选的示例,但并没有意图对本发明、本发明的应用对象或它的用途范围加以限制。In addition, the above-mentioned embodiment is an example which is preferable in nature, but is not intended to limit the present invention, the object of application of the present invention, or the range of its use.
