That is, when the temperature difference is larger than the predetermined temperature difference, the feed is rotated at a low speed to suppress the evaporation of the liquid refrigerant, and when it is smaller than the predetermined temperature difference, the feed is rotated at a high speed to promote the evaporation of the liquid refrigerant.

- the temperature of the evaporator is the same as the plus temperature until the refrigerator is shipped from the factory and turned on. Therefore, when the power is turned on, the inlet temperature and outlet temperature of one of the evaporators are the same, so at that time, the calibration should be performed so that the inlet temperature and outlet temperature detected by the sensor are the same.

- the inlet temperature rises as the outlet temperature of one evaporator rises. Since the temperature difference between the inlet temperature of one evaporator and the cooling target section of one evaporator is smaller than a predetermined value, detecting this fact indicates that the supply of refrigerant to one evaporator has stopped. Judgment can be made with certainty.

Although the cooling efficiency is reduced, if the compressor speed is high, evaporation of one By providing an upper limit for the refrigerant flow rate ratio to the evaporator, the refrigerant flow rate to one evaporator can be increased to prevent pressure loss.

- the diameter of the F capillary tube 2 4 A is also increased.
- R The diameter of the capillary tube 1 6 A is increased to reduce the flow resistance of the refrigerant, and R is smaller than that of the F capillary tube 2 4 A.
- the refrigerant is easy to flow toward the 1 A tube.
- the number of pulses that the control unit 7 A outputs to PMV 15 A is 70 to 81 pulses. Then, the refrigeration side outlet of PMV 15 A is fully open, and the refrigerant flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting the opening of the refrigeration side outlet.
- the state of the refrigerant inside R EVA 18 A is a liquid refrigerant at the inlet of R EVA 18 A, the liquid refrigerant evaporates inside R EVA 18 A, and a gas refrigerant just before the outlet. It has become. As a result, liquid back does not occur at the intermediate pressure side suction port of the compressor 12A via the intermediate pressure suction pipe 22A.
- the temperatures near the inlet and the outlet of R EVA 1 8 A are measured by inlet sensor 3 2 A and outlet sensor 3 4 A, respectively.
- the set temperature difference is 1 ° C to 5 ° C, preferably 2 ° C to 4 ° C.
- the first temperature difference control method will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
- the refrigeration mode is switched to the simultaneous cooling mode
- the first temperature difference control method in the simultaneous cooling mode in Fig. 5 is performed.
- step S1 the control unit 7 A and 75 pulses are output to PMV 15 A.
- PMV 15 A then opens the refrigeration side outlet half-opened and the refrigeration side outlet fully open.
- step S2 maintain this state for 1 minute. As a result, the refrigerant reaches the inside of the refrigeration cycle 1 OA and the state of the refrigeration cycle 1 OA is also stabilized.
- step S 3 it is determined whether the difference in temperature detected by the inlet sensor 3 2 A and the outlet sensor 3 4 A is iSfC.
- the set temperature difference is 4 ° C.
- all the liquid refrigerant inside R EVA 18 A evaporates immediately before the outlet to become a gas refrigerant, R EVA 18 A is cooled to the target temperature, There is no liquid back to the reservoir 1 2 A. Therefore, if the set temperature difference is 4 ° C, the process returns to step S2, maintains this state for 1 minute, and proceeds to step S3 again.
- step S4 the control unit 7A outputs a _ 1 pulse signal to PMV15A in order to reduce the opening of PMV15A slightly.
- PMV 15 A closes the refrigeration side outlet for one pulse and reduces the flow rate of liquid refrigerant to R EVA 18 A. If the temperature difference does not shrink, after step S5, the refrigeration outlet is closed one by one in order, and the flow rate of the liquid refrigerant to R EVA 18A is reduced.
- step S5 it is determined whether or not the refrigeration outlet of PMV 15 A is fully closed (number of pulses is 70). If PMV 15 A is not fully closed, the process returns to step S 2 and is maintained for 1 minute to determine whether or not all the liquid refrigerant in R EVA 18 A has evaporated. Then, after maintaining for 1 minute, proceed to step S3 again, and measure the difference between the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature. On the other hand, if the valve is fully closed (ie, the number of pulses is 70), the process proceeds to step S6.
- step S 6 NO, “Lus number is set to 70, PMV 15 A is kept fully closed, and the process returns to step S 2. Even if the liquid refrigerant does not completely evaporate inside R EVA 18 A due to the flow from Step S2 to Step S3, Step S4, Step S5, and Step S6, gradually close the outlet on the refrigeration side. This reduces the amount of liquid refrigerant and ensures that all liquid refrigerant evaporates inside R EVA 18 A. Therefore, liquid back to the compressor 12A can be prevented.
- Step S7 when the difference between the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature is larger than the set temperature difference in Step S3, that is, when the difference is 5 ° C or more, the control unit 7A performs PMV15 A as shown in Step S7. Increase the refrigerant flow rate by opening the opening of the refrigeration outlet of PMV15A. This means that if there is a temperature difference greater than the set temperature difference, the amount of liquid refrigerant flowing inside R EVA 18 A will be small and R EVA 18 A will not be cooled sufficiently. Let R Eva 18 A cool down. This control is continued until it is fully opened.
- step S8 it is determined whether PMV15A is fully open (the number of pulses is 81). If not, the process returns to step S2.
- step S8 If the PMV is in the fully open state (ie, the number of pulses is 81) in step S8, the state is maintained in step S9 and the process returns to step S2.
- PMV15A can adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing to R EVA 18A to reliably cool R EVA 18A and prevent liquid back to compressor 12A.
- the opening degree of PMV 15 A is set to the center, that is, the number of pulses is set to 75. This is because, when the center is set to the center, control is performed in either the fully open state or the fully closed state.
- the second temperature difference control method will be explained.
- the refrigerant flow rate is adjusted only by PMV 15 A, but in this control method, in addition to this, the rotational speed of the R fan 19 A is also controlled to adjust the refrigerant flow rate. .
- the second-first temperature difference control method is based on the relationship between the rotational speed of the R fan 19A and the valve opening of the PMV 15A, and when the PMV15 A valve opening is about to close or fully closed. In this state, the rotational speed of the R fan 19A is set higher than the predetermined rotational speed. On the other hand, when fully opened or fully opened, the rotational speed of the R fan 19A is made lower than the predetermined rotational speed.
- the reason for this control method is that when the rotational speed of the R fan 19A is increased, the evaporation of the liquid refrigerant is promoted, and the liquid back can be prevented more reliably. On the other hand, when the rotational speed is low, the refrigerant evaporating from the liquid refrigerant can be suppressed, and cooling by the R fan 19A can be ensured.
- the refrigerant flow rate is adjusted only by the rotational speed of the R fan 19A, and when the temperature difference is large, this is the R fan 19 Adjust the refrigerant flow rate based on the opening of PMV15 A, not the rotational speed of A.
- This control method is performed by adjusting the refrigerant flow rate in PMV15 A, and in R fan 19A, the refrigerant flow rate can be finely adjusted. .

- valve body 4 3 is at the 20 pulse position, the freezing side groove portion 47, the freezing side valve port 41, and the refrigeration side groove portion. 4 8 and refrigeration side valve port 4 2 do not match, and the valve ports 4 1 and 4 2 to both the refrigeration evaporator 4 and the refrigeration evaporator 5 are the thick-walled parts of the valve body 4 3 4 3 a In the fully closed state, the refrigerant does not flow and the cooling action is not performed.
- the valve body 4 reaches the 9th pulse position. 3 rotates and the refrigeration side groove portion 47 is in communication with the refrigeration side valve port 41, so that the refrigerant flows to the refrigeration evaporator 4 side by about 20% when fully opened. At this time, the refrigeration side groove portion 48 and the refrigeration side valve port 42 are still not in communication with each other, and no refrigerant is supplied to the refrigeration evaporator 5. (d) 4 1 pulse position (Fig. 12 (d), Fig. 13 (d))
- the valve body 43 rotates to the position of 41 pulses, the freezing side valve port 4 1 completely escapes from the thick step 43a of the valve body 43, and the freezing side valve port 4 1 is fully opened. Therefore, the refrigeration evaporator 4, the fin, and the freezing compartment 2 can be cooled in a concentrated manner.

- Valve body 4 3 force S 4 5 to 7 Up to 1 pulse suppresses increase in refrigerant flow per pulse of valve body 4 3, and 7 1 to 8 2 pulses increases in refrigerant flow per pulse Is increasing.
- the valve opening area to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is the minimum area of the throttle area, but the minimum area is For example, it is set to be larger than the area of foreign matter that can pass through a strainer provided in the compressor 9. This is because if the refrigeration cycle contains foreign substances such as metal powder when cutting the refrigerant pipe or scales during welding, these foreign substances may clog in the minimum flow path, but the minimum area is reduced. This is because the foreign matter can be prevented from being clogged at the refrigeration side valve port 4 2 to the refrigeration evaporator 5 of the control valve 12 by setting it larger than the foreign matter that can pass through the strainer.
- the refrigeration side valve port 41 is substantially fixed to either fully open or fully closed, and the flow rate ratio to the refrigeration side valve port 42 is changed to the refrigeration side groove portion 48.
- the refrigerant flow rate is adjusted linearly in the range of pulses 49 to 71.
- the refrigeration side capillary tube 15 and the refrigeration side capillary tube 16 in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 10 have a temperature difference between the refrigerant evaporation temperatures in the refrigeration evaporator 4 and the refrigeration evaporator 5.

- the refrigerant does not flow in the refrigeration evaporator 4.
- control valve 1 2 the refrigerant flow control for cooling each of the refrigeration compartment 2 and the refrigeration compartment 3 is performed, and so-called refrigerant flow is prevented in order to prevent so-called refrigerant flow. Control is added so that the flow rate of refrigerant to the vessel 5 is printed.
- the refrigerant flowing into the control valve 1 2 is the refrigerant condensed in the condenser 11 1, which is mixed with gas and liquid, and the flow velocity decreases when it flows into the control valve 1 2. Liquid refrigerant tends to accumulate below 2. For this reason, when the valve seat of the control valve 12 is not horizontal, the lower valve port has a higher refrigerant ratio.
- the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5 when the refrigeration side valve port 4 2 is positioned higher than the refrigeration side valve port 41, The amount of gaseous refrigerant that cannot control the flow rate increases, making it impossible to control the flow of refrigerant through the valve body 43.
- the control valve main body 14 is integrally provided so as to be inclined with respect to the mounting bracket 13, and the refrigeration is performed with the mounting bracket 13 being mounted in a horizontal position.
- the side valve port 4 2 was positioned below the freezing side valve port 4 1.

- the refrigerant flowing out from the refrigeration side valve port 42 is decompressed when passing through the refrigeration side capillary tube 16 set so as to have an evaporation temperature corresponding to the cooling temperature in the refrigeration section 3. Evaporates in the evaporator 5 for example at about -5 ° C.
- the control valve 1 2 can be set in various patterns as described above, but when the power is turned on, both the refrigeration compartment 2 and the refrigeration compartment 3 are uncooled. 2 is fully open, and the refrigerant flows into the freezing side capillary tube 15 and the refrigerated side cylindrical tube 16 and is depressurized to flow into the freezing evaporator 4 and the refrigerated evaporator 5 respectively.
- temperature (For example, about 125 ° C, about 15 ° C) evaporate and cool each compartment 2 and 3 to a predetermined temperature.
- the control valve 12 is The refrigerant flow to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is controlled so that the refrigerant flow to the refrigeration evaporator 4 and the refrigeration evaporator 5 is maintained in a well-balanced manner by slightly reducing the refrigerant flow to the refrigeration evaporator 5.
- the refrigerant from the refrigeration evaporator 4 flows into the accumulator 17 and when liquid refrigerant that could not be evaporated remains in the refrigerant from the refrigeration evaporator 4, it is stored inside the accumulator 1 7 and is in the gaseous state. Only the refrigerant is sucked from the refrigeration side suction pipe 18 into the low pressure stage compression section 28 of the compressor 9. Further, the gaseous refrigerant evaporated in the refrigeration evaporator 5 is introduced into the sealed case 30 that is at the intermediate pressure of the compressor 9 via the refrigeration side suction pipe 19.
- the gaseous refrigerant that is sucked into / compressed from the refrigeration evaporator 4 into the low pressure stage side compression part 2 8 of the compressor 9, compressed, and discharged into the sealed case 30 is stored in the sealed case from the refrigeration evaporator 5.
- the refrigeration cycle is formed by joining the gaseous refrigerant flowing into the 30 medium pressure space, sucked into the high-pressure stage compression section 29, and compressed and discharged to the condenser 11. Therefore, according to the refrigeration cycle apparatus 10 having the above-described configuration, the refrigeration evaporation provided with the respective capillary tubes 15 and 16 such that the evaporation temperature is adjusted to the set temperature of the refrigeration compartment 2 and the refrigeration compartment 3.
- Refrigerator 4 and refrigeration evaporator 5 are installed, so it is refrigerated compared to a configuration in which it is difficult to provide a difference in evaporation temperature due to the use of a single-stage compressor.
- Refrigeration evaporator 5 is connected to refrigeration evaporator 4 by connecting the refrigeration side suction pipe 1 9 from the evaporator 5 to the medium pressure space in the sealed case 3 0 of the compressor 9. It can be increased according to the internal cooling temperature, and the input load of the compressor 9 is reduced, so that the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle can be increased and the power consumption can be reduced.
- the distribution of the refrigerant flow rate is performed by obtaining the difference between the detected temperatures of the outlet temperature sensors 26 and 27 attached to the outlet pipe of the refrigeration evaporator 5 and the inlet pipe.
- the control valve 12 controls the opening of the control valve 12 so that the difference in temperature between the outlet and the inlet of the refrigeration evaporator (hereinafter referred to as the amount of superheat) becomes a predetermined temperature, for example, 4 ° C, the predetermined amount of superheat is achieved.
- the amount of superheat becomes greater than 5 ° C, for example, it is determined that the overheating state of the refrigeration evaporator 5 is excessive, and the refrigerant distribution to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is increased to increase the flow rate.
- the heat exchange performance in the refrigeration evaporator 5 can be maintained. If the amount of superheat is 3 ° C or less, for example, it is determined that the overheating state of the refrigeration evaporator 5 is insufficient, and the refrigerant distribution to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is reduced to reduce the flow rate. By making the refrigerant in the refrigeration evaporator 5 into a gas-liquid two-phase state, liquid back to the compressor 9 can be prevented.
- control device 22 performs the M-unit super heat control in this embodiment, and simultaneously executes other controls. These controls will be explained with reference to the flow chart or timing chart.
- FIG. 16 schematically shows the basics of superheat control by the control device 22.
- the control unit 22 sets the name (step) to S 101 when one minute has passed (step S 101: YES), (note: the name (step) is given to S 101.
- the name (step) is given to S 101.

- temperature difference between them (outlet temperature and inlet temperature)
- the difference ⁇ between the amount of superheat and the target temperature for superheat is obtained (step S103).
- Step S104 considering the difference ⁇ repulsion error obtained in this way, whether it is 5 ° C or higher, which is 1 ° C higher than the target superheat amount (Step S104), or 3 ° C or lower, which is 1 ° C lower than the target superheat amount. Judgment is made (step S 105).
- the superheat amount is 3 ° C to 5 ° C, it is determined that the superheat amount of the refrigeration evaporator 5 is appropriate, and the process returns to Step S101 without doing anything.
- step S 104 YES
- the amount of superheat in the refrigeration evaporator 5 is large and the refrigerant flow rate is insufficient.
- the rotational position of the body 43 is increased by one pulse (see step S106, Fig. 17).
- the flow rate ratio to the refrigeration evaporator 5 in the control valve 12 increases, so the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5 increases.
- Such control for increasing the refrigerant flow rate is performed every minute when the amount of superheat is 5 ° C. or higher.
- the refrigeration side valve port 42 of the control valve 12 is gradually opened.
- the upper limit process determines that the refrigerant supply amount is the upper limit, and the superheat amount is 5 ° Even if it is C or higher, the pulse rise is prohibited.
- the rotational position of the valve body 4 3 of the control valve 1 2 is set to the upper limit of 60 pulses because, as described above, when the amount of superheat of the refrigeration evaporator 5 is large, the valve body of the control valve 1 2
- the amount of superheat is controlled to decrease by increasing the flow rate and increasing the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5
- the refrigeration cycle is characterized in the initial stage when the refrigerant begins to flow. Since the temperature of 5 is high, the refrigerant flowing into the refrigeration evaporator 5 evaporates near the inlet. For this reason, the state where the superheat amount of the refrigeration evaporator 5 continues to be large continues, and thereafter the superheat amount becomes small.
- step S 1 0 5: YES when the superheat amount becomes 3 ° C or less (step S 1 0 5: YES), the control device 2 2 lowers the valve body 4 3 of the control valve 1 2 by 1 pulse (step S 1 0 8 , See Figure 1, '7). As a result, the flow rate ratio to the refrigeration evaporator 5 in the control valve 12 decreases, so the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5 decreases.
- Such control to reduce the refrigerant flow rate is performed every minute when the target superheat is 3 ° C or less, and in such a control state, the opening degree of the refrigerating side valve port 4 2 of the control valve 12 Since the refrigerant flow rate gradually decreases and the refrigerant evaporation by the refrigeration evaporator 5 is promoted, the amount of superheat increases.
- the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is adjusted by the control device 2 2 based on the difference between the superheat amount and the target superheat amount of 4 ° C, so the superheat amount is the target.
- the amount of superheat will change around 4 ° C, and the amount of superheat in the refrigeration evaporator 5 can be adjusted appropriately.
- valve bodies of the control valves 1 and 2 may be controlled to the lower limit position of 49 pulses.
- the rotational position of the valve body 4 3 reaches 4 9 pulses, the lowering of the pulse is prohibited by the lower limiter process (step S 1 0 9) even if the overheat is 3 ° C or less.
- the flow rate of the refrigerant is extremely reduced, so that a slight displacement of the valve body 4 3 or the valve body 4 3
- the refrigerant flow to the refrigeration evaporator 5 may vary greatly from the target refrigerant flow rate due to the variation in shape.
- the control valve 12 when the control valve 12 is positioned at the lower limit position of the valve body 4 3, the refrigerant flow rate ratio is secured to 5% of the fully open state. Can appropriately control the overheating state of the refrigeration evaporator 4 within the throttle region of the refrigerant to the refrigeration evaporator 4.
- control valve 12 uses a magnetic coupling that drives a rotor provided in a hermetically sealed container with a stator outside the container in order not to cause refrigerant leakage.
- Stepper motors are commonly used to control the stator position in an open loop. For this reason, when the rotation direction of the valve body is changed by a slight play between the mouth and the valve body 43, hysteresis occurs that the valve body 43 does not move, or when the stator and container are combined. Although there is a deviation, the number of steps sent to the stepping motor and the position of the valve body 43 may be misaligned. A constant flow rate ratio can be obtained with certainty by providing an area in which the pressure does not change.
- step S 1 0 8 is replaced with step S 2 0 1 in the flowchart of FIG.
- the speed of decreasing the refrigerant flow rate (3 pulses 1 minute) is higher than the speed of increasing the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5 (1 pulse Z 1 minute).
- the refrigerant flowing into the refrigeration evaporator 5 evaporates near the inlet, overheats at the outlet, and then ⁇ Behaves.
- a delay occurs due to the combined use with the refrigerating side capillary tube 16 and the throttle of the refrigerating side valve port 4 2 is reduced.
- the superheat control can increase the limit amount of the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5, so that it is possible to cope with the stoppage of the refrigerant supply to the refrigeration evaporator 5.
- the control interval for reducing the refrigerant flow rate may be shortened.
- step S 301 when 10 seconds have elapsed (step S 301: YES), the control device 22 sets the falling time flag and also at 1 minute intervals, that is, once every 6 times. (Step S302) and control so that the superheat amount becomes the target superheat amount as in the superheat control described above (when the valve body of the control valve 12 is raised by one pulse) Every minute).
- step S303, step S304, step S305, and step S306 are the same as the contents of step S102, step S103, step S104, and step S105 in FIG. 16, respectively.
- step S305 when the superheat amount exceeds 5 ° C (step S305: YES), the controller 22 checks whether the rising time flag is set (step S307) and is set. (Step S307: YES), that is, if 1 minute has elapsed, the rising time flag is reset (Step S308), and the valve body 43 of the control valve 12 is raised by one pulse (Step S309). .
- Step S307 YES
- the rising time flag is reset (Step S308), and the valve body 43 of the control valve 12 is raised by one pulse (Step S309).
- step S 306 the control device 22 checks whether the falling time flag is set (step S 31 1) and is set. (Step S311: YES), that is, if 10 seconds have elapsed, the descent time flag is reset (Step S312), and the valve body 43 of the control valve 12 is lowered by one pulse (Step S313). .
- Step S311 YES
- the ratio of the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5 decreases, so the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5 decreases.
- the contents of other steps S 3 1 0 and S 3 14 are the same as the contents of steps S 1 0 7 and S 1 0 9 in FIG.
- Such control for decreasing the refrigerant flow rate is performed every 10 seconds when the target superheat amount is 3 ° C. or less as shown in FIG. 21.
- the refrigeration evaporator 5 is used. Since the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigerant gradually decreases, evaporation by the refrigeration evaporator 5 is promoted, and the superheat state of the refrigeration evaporator 5 is promoted to increase the amount of superheat.
- the control device 22 has a high rotation speed of the compressor 9 (for example, 60 Hz or more). ) Increases the upper limit value, and when the rotational speed is low (for example, 40 Hz or less), lowers the upper limit value so that it is not over-throttle when the refrigerant flow rate is high and opens too much when the refrigerant flow rate is low. In order to prevent this problem, the iris is adjusted appropriately.
- the room temperature is less than 20 ° C, which is determined to be a medium room temperature or a low room temperature
- the upper limit is increased according to the rotational speed of the compressor 9 in the same manner, the cooling to the refrigeration evaporator 5 Since the supply amount of the medium becomes excessive and may cause problems, the upper limit value is not changed according to the rotation speed of the compressor 9 when the room temperature is low.
- the cooling capacity of the refrigeration cycle is greatly affected by the room temperature where the refrigerator is installed. When the room temperature is low, the load on the refrigeration cycle is reduced and the amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration evaporator 5 becomes excessive. If the above-described upper limiter control is executed in a state where the room temperature is low, the amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration evaporator 5 becomes excessive, and there is a risk of liquid knocking to the compressor 10.
- the controller 2 2 lowers the upper limit value from the normal 60 pulses to 53 pulses, The maximum amount of refrigerant supplied to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is limited more than usual.
- the amount of superheat of the refrigeration evaporator 5 is adjusted appropriately, and of course the cooling action of the refrigeration evaporator 5 is not limited to the refrigeration evaporator.
- the cooling effect of 4 can be effectively exhibited.
- the refrigeration side valve port 4 2 is the lower limit 4
- the pressure was reduced to 9 pulses the refrigerant was not supplied to the refrigeration evaporator 5, so the amount of superheat in the refrigeration evaporator 5 became excessively large, and then gradually opened the refrigeration side valve port 42. Then, it takes time for the refrigerant to flow to the outlet of the refrigeration evaporator 5, and it takes time to reduce the amount of superheat of the refrigeration evaporator 5 to the target amount of superheat.
- the refrigerant is rapidly supplied to the refrigeration evaporator 5 by performing the return control simultaneously with the superheat control described above.
- FIG. 23 shows the return control by the control device 22.
- This return control is executed in parallel with the above-described superheat control. However, when both are executed simultaneously, the return control is executed with priority.
- the control device 22 takes in the temperature data of the inlet / outlet of the refrigeration evaporator 5 every time 1 minute elapses (step S401: YES) (step S402). These operations are combined with the above-described superheat control operation.
- Step S403 the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the refrigeration evaporator 5 is 0.8 compared to 1 minute before. It is determined whether or not the temperature will rise (Step S 404). At this time, if the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is insufficient as a result of reducing the refrigerant supply amount to the refrigeration evaporator 5, the outlet temperature of the refrigeration evaporator 5 rises, and the difference from the inlet temperature Rises rapidly, and the amount of superheat rises rapidly.
- step S404 when the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the refrigeration evaporator has increased by 0.8 ° C compared to 1 minute ago (step S404: YES), the control valve 12 is brought to a predetermined return value. It rises all at once (step S405).
- This return value is set to 65 pulses, for example, which is higher than the normal upper limit value (60 pulses) of the super heat control described above. This is because if the upper limit at the time of super heat control is set to the return value, the refrigerant flow rate to the refrigeration evaporator 5 becomes insufficient, and the refrigeration evaporator 5 cannot be cooled rapidly. is there.
- step S406 it is determined whether this is the first return control. In this case, if it is the first return control (step S406: YES), the process returns to step S401 without doing anything. This is because when the refrigerant is supplied to the refrigeration evaporator 5 where the refrigerant flow rate is insufficient, the behavior of the refrigerant is not stable.
- step S 4 06 NO
- the temperature difference (outlet) is calculated from the inlet / outlet temperature data of the refrigeration evaporator 5 taken in step S 4 0 2.
- the amount of superheat is obtained from the temperature of one inlet temperature), and the difference ⁇ between the amount of superheat and the target temperature of the superheat (set to 4 ° C in this embodiment) is obtained (step S 4 0 7).
- step S 4 0 8 NO
- step S 4 0 9 In the example of Fig. 25, 6 5 pulses ⁇ 6 4 pulses.
- step S 4 1 0 8: YES it is determined that the refrigerant flow rate is insufficient, and 1 is added to the return value
- the control valve 1 2 can be detected by the return control 1 at the refrigeration side 4 4 fully closed and the refrigerant supply amount has fallen drastically, the outlet of the refrigeration evaporator 5 can be dealt with.
- the return control 1 cannot be executed, and the normal super-heat control is performed, and the refrigerant supply to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is delayed. Therefore, in the control device 22, the refrigerant supply to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is extremely lowered, the inlet temperature rises, approaches the temperature of the refrigeration room, and the temperature difference between them is as shown in FIG.
- tk for example, 5 ° C or less
- temperature sensor calibration control 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.
- the amount of superheat of the refrigeration evaporator 5 is obtained from the temperature difference detected by the temperature sensors 2 6, 2 7 installed at the entrance and exit of the refrigeration evaporator 5, and Since the control of the refrigerant flow rate is fundamental, if the detection error of the temperature sensors 26 and 27 is large, the control of the refrigerant flow rate becomes uncertain. For example, if the accuracy of the temperature sensors 2 6 and 2 7 is ⁇ 1 k, the error of the temperature difference obtained from the temperature detected by the two temperature sensors 2 6 and 2 7 will be ⁇ 2 k at the maximum.
- the data required in this embodiment is the temperature difference between the entrance and exit of the refrigeration evaporator 5 and not the absolute value thereof.
- Calibration was performed so that the detected temperature difference between temperature sensors 26 and 27 became zero, and the accuracy of the temperature difference during actual operation was increased.
- Such calibration of the temperature sensor may be performed in the process of the production line, or may be performed in an initial state where the refrigerator is installed. The important point is that the refrigerator is not operated for a long time, and the two temperature sensors 26, 27 need to be considered to be at the same temperature.
- temperature sensor calibration control 2 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.
- the evaporators 4 and 5 of the refrigerator are below freezing point during the cooling operation, and the moisture in the refrigerator adheres as frost. Therefore, the frost attached to the evaporators 4 and 5 is removed at regular intervals. Like to do.
- Fig. 27 shows the inlet and outlet temperatures of the evaporators 4 and 5 during general defrosting.
- the defrosting heaters 20 and 21 are energized, the temperature rises during the defrosting operation due to heating from the temperature below the freezing point, and 0 ° C begins to defrost.
- the frost adhering to each of the evaporators 4 and 5 is being thawed, the state of 0 ° C continues, and when most of the frost is completely melted, the temperature rises again.
- the duration of 0 ° C varies depending on the heating capacity and the amount of frost.
- the temperature sensors 25 and 26 attached to the outlet pipes of the evaporators 4 and 5 also continue at 0 ° C for a fixed time. Therefore, the temperature installed in each evaporator 4 and 5 during defrosting When the temperature from the temperature sensors 2 5 and 2 6 is maintained, the temperature is assumed to be 0 ° C, and the detection temperature of the temperature sensors 2 5 and 2 6 is corrected by correcting the detection temperature of the temperature sensors 2 5 and 2 6. Can be increased.
- the detection accuracy of the outlet temperature sensor 26 of the refrigeration evaporator 5 can be increased.
- the temperature sensor correction 1 described above is used to detect the inlet temperature sensor 27 of the refrigeration evaporator 5.
- the accuracy, and hence the detection accuracy of the amount of overheat, which is the difference between the detected temperatures of the two temperature sensors 2 6 and 2 7 can be increased.
- valve body 43 can be moved even if the valve body position is shifted due to foreign matter, for example. Positioning can be reliably performed at the initial position. (Refrigerator evaporator cooling priority control)
- the refrigerant in one evaporator when the refrigerant in one evaporator is sufficient, the refrigerant in the other evaporator may become insufficient. Therefore, by controlling the refrigerant flow rate to the evaporator where the refrigerant flow rate is sufficient, it is possible to prevent the other refrigerant flow rate from being insufficient, so that the refrigerant can easily flow into one of the evaporators at the inlet. By adjusting the refrigerant flow rate, the refrigerant flow rate to the other evaporator can be adjusted.
- the resistance of the refrigerant flow path to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is reduced, the refrigerant is set to flow easily from the refrigeration evaporator 4 to the refrigeration evaporator 5, and the refrigerant flow path to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is set.
- the refrigerant flow to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is throttled and adjusted, and at the same time, the refrigerant supply to the refrigeration evaporator 4 is realized.
- the refrigerant flow rate is determined by the flow path resistance of each of the capillary tubes 15 and 16 and the pressure difference between the high pressure side and the evaporator, so the pressure difference is large.
- the flow path resistance is determined by taking the pressure difference into consideration. For example, when isobutane (R 6 00 a) is used as the cooling medium, the condensing temperature of the condenser 11 is 5 ° C, the pressure is 0.4 6 MPa (high pressure side), the refrigeration evaporator 5 When the evaporation temperature is 15 ° C, it is 0.1 3 ⁇ MPa (medium pressure side), and when the evaporation temperature of the freezing evaporator 4 is 125 ° C, it is 0.06 MPa (low pressure side).
- the pressure difference between the high pressure side and the low pressure side is 0.3 3 MPa, and the pressure difference between the high pressure side and the low pressure side is 0.40 MPa, making it easy to flow into the refrigeration evaporator 4 with a large pressure difference. Therefore, the refrigerant is made easier to flow into the refrigeration evaporator 5 by loosening the refrigeration side capillary tube 16.
- a defrosting operation is performed in which the heater is energized to melt the frost.
- the temperature of the generator is naturally a positive temperature.
- both the refrigeration evaporator 4 and the refrigeration evaporator 5 have a positive temperature.
- the pressure of the evaporator becomes 0.22 MPa, so the pressure difference between the high pressure side and the refrigeration evaporator 4 and the high pressure side And the pressure difference between the refrigeration evaporator 5 is smaller than that during normal control.
- the pressure difference between the high pressure side and the evaporator side is about the same between the refrigeration evaporator 4 and the refrigeration evaporator 5, so the flow resistance of the refrigeration side capillary tube 16 is small.
- the refrigerant easily flows into the refrigeration evaporator 5, and the refrigerant becomes difficult to flow into the refrigeration evaporator 4 as shown in FIG.
- the refrigerant is supplied only to the refrigeration evaporator 4, and when the pressure of the refrigeration evaporator 4 becomes low, the refrigeration evaporator 5 Also, the refrigerant can be passed through both the freezing evaporator 4 and the refrigeration evaporator 5. In this case, since the compressor 9 is driven with the refrigeration side valve port 4 2 of the control valve 1 2 fully closed, if the refrigerant stays in the refrigeration evaporator 5, the refrigerant is compressed. Can be collected in machine 9.
- the operation of the cold air circulation fan 6 for the refrigeration compartment 2 is stopped for a certain time, for example, 5 minutes, and the refrigeration evaporation
- the temperature of the refrigeration evaporator 4 can be lowered in a short time by using V which does not perform heat exchange between the container 4 and the internal air.
- the temperature of the refrigeration evaporator 4 is controlled by an outlet temperature sensor 25 for detecting the completion of defrosting attached to the refrigeration evaporator 4. Detecting that the refrigeration evaporator 4 has dropped to a certain temperature, Alternatively, the operation of the cold air circulation fan 6 may be terminated, and the refrigerant may also flow through the refrigeration evaporator 5.
- the inside temperature becomes higher than usual due to uncooled and defrosting heaters 20 and 21 during defrosting, and it is necessary to cool quickly for food preservation. is there.
- the target superheat amount for controlling the flow of the refrigerant to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is set to be larger than that during normal control. ing.
- This control is performed for a certain period of time or until the temperature of the freezing compartment 2 reaches a certain temperature, for example, 1 ° C.
- the high pressure side and the refrigeration evaporator 4 Is larger than the pressure difference between the high pressure side and the refrigeration evaporator 5, so that it is difficult for the refrigerant to flow into the refrigeration evaporator 5, while the refrigerant easily flows into the refrigeration evaporator 4. For this reason, excessive refrigerant will accumulate in the refrigeration evaporator 4 or the accumulator 17 subsequent thereto, and there is a possibility that it will be difficult to adjust the refrigerant throttling based on the amount of heat of the refrigeration evaporator 5.
- the refrigerant in the refrigeration evaporator 4 or the subsequent accumulator 17 is low in the compressor 9.
- the refrigerant can be recovered by being sucked into the pressure stage.
- the distribution of the refrigerant is on the high pressure side and the medium pressure side of the refrigeration evaporator 5, it is assumed that the refrigerant flowing in the refrigeration evaporator 5 becomes excessive. Therefore, when it is detected that the refrigerant has sufficiently flowed into the refrigeration evaporator 5, specifically, the amount of superheat, which is the difference between the detected temperatures of the temperature sensors 26 and 27 installed at the entrance and exit of the refrigeration evaporator 5, is small. It is desirable to end this operation mode by judging that the refrigerant has sufficiently flowed at that point.
- the refrigerant in the refrigeration evaporator 4 or the accumulator 17 is evaporated and recovered. At this time, absorption of the refrigerant can be promoted by operating the cold air circulation fan 6 for the refrigeration compartment 2.
- the refrigerant stays in the refrigeration evaporator 4 or accumulator 17 because the pressure and temperature of the low-pressure part on the freezing compartment 2 side are low. Detect from the temperature of the side cycle. In other words, if there is enough refrigerant and the inlet is fully closed and the refrigerant is recovered, the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle evaporates and the temperature drops. If recovery is continued, the refrigerant that evaporates decreases and the temperature starts to rise. This temperature change is measured by the outlet temperature sensor 25 that detects the end of defrosting, and it is detected that the temperature has risen above a certain temperature, or has started to change from falling to rising, and refrigerant recovery is terminated. You may do it.
- the control device 2 2 when the refrigerator is turned on, the control device 2 2 has the temperatures detected by the inlet temperature sensor 2 7 and the outlet temperature sensor 2 6 for detecting the amount of superheat of the refrigeration evaporator 5. Since the temperature sensors are the same, temperature sensor calibration control is performed to calibrate the temperature sensors 2 6 and 2 7 so that the detected temperatures of the temperature sensors 2 6 and 2 7 are the same. Compared to the case where the detected temperature is used for superheat control as it is, superheat control can be executed more reliably.
- the control device 2 2 executes the superheat control based on the difference between the outlet temperature and the inlet temperature of the refrigeration evaporator 5, the temperature sensor 2 6, 2 is executed by executing the temperature sensor calibration control.
- Superheat control can be executed reliably regardless of the absolute accuracy of the detected temperature of 7.
- the control device 22 determines that the supply of the refrigerant to the refrigeration evaporator 5 has stopped, the control device 12 sets the refrigerant flow rate ratio to the refrigeration evaporator 5 in the control valve 12 to a predetermined value.
- the amount of refrigerant to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is increased at a stretch by controlling to the return value, and control is executed, so the refrigerant flow to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is gradually increased by normal superheat control. Compared to the case of increasing, a sufficient amount of refrigerant can be supplied to the refrigeration evaporator 5 at a stretch and cooled quickly.
- the outlet temperature of the refrigeration evaporator 5 suddenly increased, or the inlet temperature of the refrigeration evaporator 5 was close to the outlet temperature, and the inlet temperature was close to the temperature of the refrigeration room.
- the refrigerant supply to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is determined to have stopped, it can be reliably detected that the refrigerant supply to the refrigeration evaporator 5 has been stopped.
- the refrigerant flow rate ratio to the refrigeration evaporator 5 controlled to a predetermined return value
- the amount of refrigerant supplied to the refrigeration evaporator 5 is adjusted based on the amount of overheating of the refrigeration evaporator 5. Since the next return value is changed based on some judgment, the return control can be executed more appropriately compared to a configuration in which the return value is always constant.
- the rotation speed of the compressor 9 is high so that the refrigerant is supplied to the refrigeration evaporator 5. Since the upper limit value of the refrigerant flow rate ratio is increased, the pressure loss can be reduced and the cooling efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 10 can be prevented from being lowered.
- the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as described below.
- a single-stage compressor may be used as the compressor instead of the two-stage compressor.
- a check valve 4 9 is provided on the outlet side of the refrigeration evaporator 5, and a pressure difference is provided between the suction side of the compressor 9 which is the low pressure side, and refrigeration evaporation. It is necessary to set the evaporation temperature of the vessel 5 to be higher than the evaporation temperature of the evaporator 4 for freezing.
- the controller 22 calculates the difference between the target superheat amount and the actual detected superheat amount of the refrigeration evaporator 5, and the rotation of the valve body 4 3 of the control valve 1 2 based on the difference.
- the opening degree of the valve body may be controlled by PID control as shown in FIG. In this case, it is possible to control the superheat amount to the target superheat amount efficiently and in a short time with a simple circuit configuration.
- the refrigerant to the refrigeration evaporator 4 may be throttled and adjusted. In this case, the refrigerant flowing out of the refrigeration evaporator 4 is stored. It is necessary to provide an accumulator.
- the control valve 12 may be configured such that the refrigeration side valve port 42 is lower than the refrigeration side valve port 41 in a state where the control valve 12 is mounted horizontally.
- the refrigerant may be applied to a refrigeration cycle using a flammable refrigerant such as isobutane.
- a flammable refrigerant such as isobutane.
- the present invention is suitable for a household refrigerator or a commercial refrigerator.
