摘要:
In a method for evaluating the energy efficiency of a refrigeration machine (1; 2) and/or a heat pump (3; 4), wherein a working fluid of the refrigeration machine (1; 2) and/or heat pump is running through an expansion valve (40; 40A, 40B, 40C) at one point of a thermodynamic cycle, at different positions of the thermodynamic cycle, at least one thermodynamic parameter ( T entrance , p entrance , p exit , T superheat , p superheat , Tcompressor, p compressor ) of the working fluid is detected. The mass flow ( ṁ F ) of the working fluid is determined using a classification (m) of the opening of the expansion valve (40; 40A, 40B, 40C) and some of the detected thermodynamic parameters ( T entrance , p entrance , p exit ) of the working fluid. A cooling power and/or a heating power ( Q̇ ) of the refrigeration machine (1; 2) and/or heat pump (3; 4) is determined as a function of the mass flow ( ṁ F ) of the working fluid. The energy efficiency of the refrigeration machine and/or heat pump (3; 4) is evaluated by comparing the cooling power and/or heating power (Q) to an electrical power (P el ) used to power the refrigeration machine and/or heat pump.
摘要:
When a fully-closable expansion valve is used, there is a possibility that the expansion valve is fully closed thereby to block a refrigerant circuit. In an air conditioner 1 of the present invention, an indoor heat exchanger 14 includes an auxiliary heat exchanger 20 and a main heat exchanger 21 disposed leeward from the auxiliary heat exchanger 20. In an operation in a predetermined dehumidification operation mode, a liquid refrigerant supplied to the auxiliary heat exchanger 20 all evaporates midway in the auxiliary heat exchanger 20, i.e., before reaching the outlet. Therefore, only an upstream partial area in the auxiliary heat exchanger 20 is an evaporation region, while an area downstream of the evaporation region in the auxiliary heat exchanger 20 is a superheat region. Further, an evaporation temperature sensor 30 which detects an evaporation temperature is disposed downstream of an expansion valve 13 in an outdoor unit 3.

A liquid head pressure applied to an electronic expansion valve disposed in front (at the inlet) of an indoor heat exchanger is reduced so as to prevent failure in opening and closing (operation failure) of the electronic expansion valve. In a multi-unit air conditioner (1) including a single outdoor unit (2) and a plurality of indoor units (3) disposed below the outdoor unit (2) and connected to the outdoor unit (2) via a coolant pipe (8), a decompressing mechanism (7) including three electromagnetic on-off valves (22, 23, 24) and three capillary tubes (25, 26, 27) having different lengths is provided near an outlet, for cooling operation, of the outdoor unit (2), and a unit constituted of each electromagnetic on-off valve and each capillary tube connected to the electromagnetic on-off valve is arranged in parallel with the coolant pipe (8).

Provided is an air conditioner capable of improving a COP in simultaneous heating and cooling operation. The air conditioner is an air conditioning system in which an outdoor unit (100) and a plurality of indoor units (301 to 303) are connected through a branch controller (200), and a supercritical fluid is used, to thereby establish a single refrigerating cycle. The outdoor unit (100) and the branch controller (200) are connected through two pipes of a high-pressure pipe (400) and a low-pressure pipe (500). The branch controller (200) and each of the plurality of indoor units (301 to 303) are connected through two pipes of a high-pressure pipe (700) and a low-pressure pipe (800). The branch controller (200) includes a double-pipe heat exchanger (240) for heat exchange between a medium-pressure two-phase refrigerant and a low-pressure two-phase refrigerant. The medium-pressure two-phase refrigerant is relatively high in temperature and flows into the double-pipe heat exchanger after branching a refrigerant flowing from the outdoor unit toward the plurality of indoor units, and joining together a refrigerant decompressed by a first expansion valve (211) and a refrigerant flowing from the plurality of indoor units. The low-pressure two-phase refrigerant is relatively low in temperature and flows out of the double-pipe heat exchanger toward the outdoor unit after branching a refrigerant flowing out of the double-pipe heat exchanger toward the plurality of indoor units, and decompressing a part of the branched refrigerant by a second expansion valve (212).

An object of the present invention is to prevent a refrigerant from reaching a state near the critical point when the refrigerant is expanded to a state near the saturation line by a first expansion mechanism in a refrigeration device that comprises a refrigerant circuit in which a compression mechanism, a radiator, a refrigerant cooling unit, the first expansion mechanism, a liquid receiver, a second expansion mechanism, and an evaporator are connected in sequence. The refrigeration device (1, 101, 201, 301) according to the present invention is provided with a control unit (23, 34a, 34b, 223), and a refrigerant circuit in which a compression mechanism (11), a radiator (13), a refrigerant cooling unit (14, 214), a first expansion mechanism (15), a liquid receiver (16), a second expansion mechanism (17, 33a, 33b), and an evaporator (31, 31 a, 31 b) are connected in sequence. The control unit performs refrigerant cooling control whereby the refrigerant is cooled by the refrigerant cooling unit so that the state of the refrigerant that has flowed out from the first expansion mechanism is near the saturation line and not near the critical point.

In certain embodiments, a transcritical refrigeration system (101) provides refrigeration by circulating refrigerant through the system (101). The system (101) includes a gas cooler (130), a heat exchanger (210), a high pressure expansion valve (135), a flash tank (105), refrigeration cases (115), and compressors (120). The gas cooler (130) cools the refrigerant to a first temperature. The heat exchanger (210) cools the refrigerant flowing from the gas cooler (130) to the high pressure expansion valve (135) to a second temperature. The high pressure expansion valve (135) is coupled to the flash tank (105), which is coupled to the refrigeration cases (115). The refrigeration cases (115) are coupled to the compressors (120), which are coupled to the gas cooler (130). An expansion valve (110) between the gas cooler (130) and the heat exchanger (210) may cool the refrigerant flowing to the heat exchanger (210). A high pressure vapor compressor (215) between the heat exchanger (210) and the gas cooler (130) may compress the refrigerant flowing from the heat exchanger (210) to the gas cooler (130).
