摘要:
An internal heat exchanger and a first flow control valve are connected in series between a condenser and a refrigerant inlet of an ejector. A gas refrigerant outlet of a gas-liquid separator is connected to a suction port of a compressor. A first bypass circuit connects a refrigerant outlet of the condenser to an intermediate pressure portion of the compressor via a second flow control valve and the internal heat exchanger. A second bypass circuit connects a refrigerant outlet of the internal heat exchanger to the liquid refrigerant outlet of the gas-liquid separator via a third flow control valve. While the second flow control valve is opened such that the refrigerant flows through the first bypass circuit, the fourth flow control valve is switched to be opened or closed, and the third flow control valve is switched to be closed or opened.

In a heat pump apparatus, switching between high efficiency operation, being efficient, and high capacity operation, having high capacity, is performed according to the state of the load. There are provided a main refrigerant circuit that uses an ejector, a first sub-refrigerant circuit that connects a portion between a heat exchanger and an ejector to a portion between a gas-liquid separator and a heat exchanger, and a second sub-refrigerant circuit that connects a portion between the heat exchanger and the ejector to an injection pipe of a compressor. When the load is about medium, refrigerant is circulated in the main refrigerant circuit to perform an efficient ejector aided operation utilizing the ejector. When the load is large, a high capacity injection operation is performed by flowing refrigerant to the second sub-refrigerant circuit. When the load is small, a simple bypass operation which prevents degradation of efficiency is performed by flowing refrigerant to the first sub-refrigerant circuit.

Refrigerating machine oil is reliably returned to a compressor, regardless of whether the oil is miscible or immiscible with a refrigerant. A first refrigerant channel includes a compressor, a condenser, a first flow control valve, a refrigerant storing container, a second flow control valve, and a first evaporator are connected in that order. A refrigerant outlet of the first evaporator is connected to a suction refrigerant inlet of an ejector. A second refrigerant channel includes a compressor and a second evaporator connected in that order. A refrigerant inlet of the second evaporator is connected to a mixed refrigerant outlet of the ejector. A third refrigerant channel branching off from a halfway point of a pipe connecting a refrigerant outlet of the radiator and the first flow control valve includes a third flow control valve and a motive refrigerant inlet of the ejector are connected in that order.

A flow path of a nozzle included in an ejector includes a convergent taper portion in which the cross-sectional area of the flow path gradually decreases toward the downstream side, a cylindrical flow path extending from a downstream end of the convergent taper portion and being continuous for a predetermined length and in a cylindrical shape, and a divergent taper portion continuous with a downstream end of the cylindrical flow path and in which the cross-sectional area of the flow path gradually increases toward the downstream side. By providing the cylindrical flow path, a length of the divergent taper portion is reduced.
摘要:
In a heat pump apparatus, it is aimed to enhance efficiency of a defrost operation by reducing a loss of heat radiation during the defrost operation and reducing a compressor input during the defrost operation. The heat pump apparatus includes a main refrigerant circuit in which a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and a second heat exchanger are connected sequentially, and also includes a bypass circuit including an on-off valve and providing a connection by bypassing the expansion mechanism. The main refrigerant circuit includes a four-way valve that switches between a heating operation and the defrost operation by switching an order in which the refrigerant circulates through the main refrigerant circuit. The main refrigerant circuit also includes a first temperature detection unit and a second temperature detection unit. Based on values detected by these temperature detection units, a degree of superheat of the first heat exchanger during the defrost operation is computed. When the heating operation is switched to the defrost operation, the heat pump apparatus increases a circulation amount of the refrigerant circulating through the refrigerant circuit by opening the on-off valve, and also controls an operation frequency of the compressor such that the degree of superheat is at a predetermined target value.

When using a plurality of heaters such as heat pump units, capacity is properly distributed according to the required capacity, thereby enabling highly efficient operation of a hot water system. To achieve this, a control apparatus determines the heating capacity of each of the heat pump units in a way that the total heating capacity of the heat pump units reaches the heating capacity required in the hot water system as a whole, and further in a way that the total COP (coefficient of performance) of the heat pump units satisfies predetermined condition. The control apparatus controls each of regulating valves in a way that the heating capacity of each of the heat pump units reaches the above determined heating capacity.
