    摘要: The present invention relates to an air conditioner. The air conditioner according to the present embodiment has a refrigeration capacity of 7 kW to 11 kW, inclusive, and uses, as a refrigerant, a mixed refrigerant containing 50% or more of R32, and since a refrigerant pipe therein is made of a ductile stainless steel material having 1% or less of a delta-ferrite matrix structure with respect to the grain size area thereof, and includes a suction pipe guiding the suction of the refrigerant into a compressor and having an outer diameter of 15.88 mm, the refrigerant pipe can maintain strength and hardness as good as or better than those of a copper pipe, while also maintaining good processability.

    摘要: To reduce the possibility that temperature of refrigerant discharged from a compressor of a refrigeration apparatus becomes excessively high by controlling torque of a motor built into the compressor, the compressor includes the motor having rotation thereof controlled by inverter control. An inverter controller controls torque of the motor using inverter control when operation frequency of the compressor is at least one value within a range of from 10 Hz to 40 Hz. When at least the operation frequency is within the range of from 10 Hz to 40 Hz, torque of the motor is controlled, and under a predetermined condition in which temperature of refrigerant discharged from the compressor easily becomes excessively high, a device controller controls devices provided in a refrigerant circuit such that refrigerant sucked into the compressor is placed in a wet vapor state.

    摘要: Provided is a refrigeration apparatus with improved safety. A refrigeration apparatus includes: a compressor; a heat source-side expansion valve to be controlled to have a minimum opening degree and brought into a closed state in which the heat source-side expansion valve maximizes prevention of a flow of a refrigerant toward a usage-side refrigerant circuit; a fusible plug; a controller; and a refrigerant leak detector configured to detect a refrigerant leak at the usage-side refrigerant circuit. The fusible plug is disposed in a refrigerant circuit, and is brought into an open state to allow the refrigerant circuit to communicate with an external space. When the refrigerant leak detector detects a refrigerant leak at the usage-side refrigerant circuit, the controller performs refrigerant leak first control to bring the heat source-side expansion valve into the closed state, and performs refrigerant leak second control to bring the fusible plug into the open state.

    摘要: Systems, apparatus and methods for operating a chiller plant while minimizing or eliminating the occurrence of centrifugal compressor surge. Taking into account chiller design specifications and current operating conditions, a compressor lift point at which surge is predicted to occur is established. Minima and maxima for various chiller setpoints that avoid or eliminate the occurrence of compressor surge are imposed on setpoints provided by a conventional optimizing chiller controller. The chiller system is operated in accordance with the resultant anti-surge setpoints. Coolant tower flow is modulated to enable the compressor to operate at near-surge conditions while preventing the onset of actual surge.

    摘要: A rotor includes a shaft extending in the direction of an axis, and a rotor core including a central hole in which the shaft is inserted. The central hole includes a first central hole, a second central hole, and a third central hole in the direction of the axis. A distance from the axis to an inner circumferential surface of the third central hole is larger than a distance from the axis to an inner circumferential surface of the second central hole. The distance from the axis to the inner circumferential surface of the second central hole is larger than a distance from the axis to an inner circumferential surface of the first central hole.

    摘要: A method of operating a chiller having a closed refrigerant loop including a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. The refrigerant used in the loop defining a pressure-enthalpy curve representative of different phases (vapor, liquid and vapor, and liquid) of the refrigerant at different combinations of pressure and enthalpy. The loop defining a process cycle (compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation) of the refrigerant during operation of the loop relative to the pressure-enthalpy curve of the refrigerant. The method including continuously operating the compressor when a segment of the process cycle corresponds to the refrigerant being in the liquid phase.
