Air conditioner heat pump with injection circuit and automatic control thereof

摘要

Heating equipment, including a first heat exchanger, a compressor, a second heat exchanger, and a first expansion valve that decompresses a refrigerant flowing from the second heat exchanger to the first heat exchanger, are connected so as to circulate the refrigerant. A third heat exchanger provides heat of the refrigerant flowing from the second heat exchanger to the first heat exchanger to the refrigerant flowing from the first heat exchanger toward the compressor. An injection circuit merges part of the refrigerant flowing from the second heat exchanger to the first heat exchanger with the refrigerant that is sucked by the compressor. An injection expansion valve is installed in the injection circuit and decompresses the refrigerant flowing in the injection circuit. A fourth heat exchanger is installed in the injection circuit to supply heat of the refrigerant flowing from the second heat exchanger toward the first heat exchanger to the refrigerant flowing in the injection circuit.

1. Heating equipment, which includes a refrigerant circuit in which
a first heat exchanger that makes a refrigerant absorb heat; a compressor that sucks the refrigerant that has passed the first heat exchanger; a second heat exchanger that radiates heat of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor; and a first expansion valve that decompresses the refrigerant flowing from the second heat exchanger to the first heat exchanger are connected so as to circulate the refrigerant, and the heating equipment utilizes heat radiated from the second heat exchanger, the heating equipment comprising;
a third heat exchanger that provides heat of the refrigerant flowing from the second heat exchanger to the refrigerant flowing from the first heat exchanger toward the compressor;an injection circuit that merges part of the refrigerant flowing from the second heat exchanger to the first heat exchanger with the refrigerant that is sucked by the compressor via the first heat exchanger to be compressed to an intermediate pressure;an injection circuit expansion valve that is installed in the injection circuit and decompresses the refrigerant flowing in the injection circuit,a fourth heat exchanger that is installed in the refrigerant circuit and the injection circuit and supplies heat of the refrigerant flowing from the second heat exchanger toward the first heat exchanger to the refrigerant flowing in the injection circuit,a first temperature sensor detecting a temperature of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor,a second temperature sensor detecting a temperature of air to be sucked into a room unit, anda controller that controls an opening degree of the injection circuit expansion valve such that when a discharge temperature of the refrigerant detected by the first temperature sensor is higher than a predetermined target value, the opening degree is made to be larger so as to decrease an enthalpy of the refrigerant, and when the discharge temperature is lower than the predetermined target value, the opening degree is made to be smaller so as to increase the enthalpy of the refrigerant, thereby regulating a heating capacity of the second heat exchanger, wherein the target value of the discharge temperature is changeable by the controller according to operating conditions including an air temperatures detected by the second temperature sensor and characteristics of the second heat exchanger.
