    摘要: A refrigerant recovery system includes a cylinder, a first detection unit, and a control unit. The cylinder accommodate a refrigerant filling a refrigeration cycle apparatus. The first detection unit detects a predetermined physical quantity in order to calculate a composition of the refrigerant accommodated in the cylinder. The control unit acquires a result of detection by the first detection unit and outputs the result as a first detection result.

    摘要: A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a main refrigerant circuit, a changer, and a controller. The main refrigerant circuit uses a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture containing a first refrigerant and a second refrigerant. The changer changes a composition ratio between the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant in a refrigerant flowing through the main refrigerant circuit. The controller controls an operation of the changer. The controller executes a first mode and a second mode. The first mode is a mode in which the operation of the changing unit is controlled to cause substantially the second refrigerant alone to flow through the main refrigerant circuit. The second mode is a mode in which the operation of the changing unit is controlled to cause a refrigerant mixture of the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant to flow through the main refrigerant circuit.

    摘要: A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigeration cycle, an adsorption section, and a first bypass flow path. The refrigeration cycle includes a compressor, a radiator, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator, and uses a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture including a first refrigerant and a second refrigerant. The adsorption section includes an adsorbent and stores the first refrigerant adsorbed by the adsorbent. The adsorbent adsorbs the first refrigerant, and does not adsorb the second refrigerant or the adsorption performance thereof for the second refrigerant is lower than the adsorption performance thereof for the first refrigerant. The first bypass flow path connects a first end which is a high-pressure part of the refrigeration cycle and a second end which is a low-pressure part of the refrigeration cycle. The adsorption section and a valve are disposed in the first bypass flow path.

    摘要: In an air conditioner, during an operation, a gas-liquid two-phase non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant enters a receiver and accumulates in the receiver in a state where a gas phase and a liquid phase are separated. For example, when the non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant includes two components, i.e., a high-boiling refrigerant and a low-boiling refrigerant, the controller may estimate the ratio (composition ratio) between the low-boiling refrigerant and the high-boiling refrigerant in each of the gas phase and the liquid phase based on the temperature and the pressure of the non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant in the receiver. Thus, the controller may estimate the composition ratio of the liquid-phase non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant flowing out of the receiver as the composition ratio of the non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circuit.
