Description

The present invention relates to an air conditioning system, and particularly to an air conditioning system that cools electric components using a cooling pipe.
BACKGROUND ART
A conventional air conditioning system includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an outdoor flow rate regulator, a vessel, and an indoor heat exchanger that are connected in order by a refrigerant pipe. In this air conditioning system, the refrigerant pipe between the vessel and the indoor heat exchanger includes a cooling pipe having an inlet end 0 and an outlet end, and the cooling pipe is in contact with electric components via a metal plate.
Such an air conditioning system exchanges heat with air or the like in the outdoor heat exchanger, and then cools the electric components using low-temperature refrigerant flowing through the cooling pipe. This can simplify the structure of the air conditioning system and reduce the manufacturing cost, as compared with a case where a fan is provided, for example, 5 in order to cool the electric components.
In the above-described air conditioning system, however, the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the cooling pipe from the inlet end may become lower than the dewpoint temperature of air, which may lead to condensation on the cooling pipe (especially on the inlet end side). In such a case, if condensation water drips on, for example, the electric Ό components of the air conditioning system, a problem such as short-circuiting may occur, which is not ideal.
Any discussion of documents, acts, materials, devices, articles or the like which has been included in the present specification is not to be taken as an admission that any or all of these matters form part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field 25 relevant to the present disclosure as it existed before the priority date of each of the appended claims.
Throughout this specification the word comprise, or variations such as comprises or comprising, will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps, but not the exclusion of any other element, integer or 30 step, or group of elements, integers or steps.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a circuit structure of an air conditioning system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a circuit structure of an air conditioning system according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
Air conditioning systems according to embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
<First Embodiment
An air conditioning system according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a circuit structure of the air conditioning system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the air conditioning system includes a compressor 10, an outdoor heat exchanger 30, an outdoor flow rate regulator CD, a vessel 40, and an indoor heat exchanger 50 that are connected in order by a refrigerant pipe R. The refrigerant pipe R between the vessel 40 and the indoor heat exchanger 50 includes a cooling pipe CR having an inlet end CRa and an outlet end CRb.
Here, the cooling pipe CR is in contact with electric components via a metal plate MB.
The air conditioning system further includes a vessel pressure-increasing pipe BP and a control unit 60. The vessel pressure-increasing pipe BP is provided with a flow rate control member DM. One end of the vessel pressure-increasing pipe BP is connected between the compressor 10 and the outdoor heat exchanger 30, while the other end of the vessel pressureincreasing pipe BP is connected between the vessel 40 and the outdoor flow rate regulator CD. The control unit 60 controls the operation of the air conditioning system.
Here, a water heat exchanger is adopted as the outdoor heat exchanger 30.
A motor-operated valve is adopted as the outdoor flow rate regulator CD.
A motor-operated valve is adopted as the flow rate control member DM.
The operation of the air conditioning system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
-Cooling OperationHere, it is assumed, for convenience of description, that the flow rate control member DM is closed.
In this state, refrigerant compressed by the compressor 10 and discharged from a discharge end of the compressor 10 flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 30, and then the outdoor heat exchanger 30 exchanges heat with the refrigerant and reduces the temperature of the refrigerant. After that, the refrigerant flows through the outdoor flow rate regulator CD and flows into the vessel 40.
Next, the refrigerant flowing out of the vessel 40 flows into the cooling pipe CR, and cools the electric components by means of the cooling pipe CR.
Thereafter, the refrigerant flows out of the cooling pipe CR and flows into the indoor heat exchanger 50, and then the indoor heat exchanger 50 exchanges heat with the refrigerant.
Finally, the refrigerant flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 50 and returns to a suction end of the compressor 10.
-Condensation Suppression OperationWhen the control unit 60 determines that a cooling pipe condensation condition is satisfied (when, for example, an outlet temperature TL of the cooling pipe CR is lower than an environmental temperature Ta during the cooling operation), the control unit 60 increases the opening degree of the flow rate control member DM.
Specifically, when the control unit 60 determines that the cooling pipe condensation condition is satisfied, the control unit 60 determines whether the outlet temperature TL of the cooling pipe CR is equal to the environmental temperature Ta while increasing the opening degree of the flow rate control member DM. If the outlet temperature TL of the cooling pipe CR cannot reach the environmental temperature Ta even at the maximum opening degree of the flow rate control member DM, the control unit 60 decreases the opening degree of the outdoor flow rate regulator CD.
Here, the reason for first increasing the opening degree of the flow rate control member DM and then decreasing the opening degree of the outdoor flow rate regulator CD is as follows. If the opening degree of the outdoor flow rate regulator CD is decreased first, the pressure loss of the circuit increases, the pressure at the inlet of the cooling pipe CR decreases, and furthermore, condensation occurs due to a temperature drop of the cooling pipe CR.
According to the air conditioning system of the present embodiment, when the control unit 60 determines that the cooling pipe condensation condition is satisfied, the control unit 60 increases the opening degree of the flow rate control member DM. As a result, the pressure of saturated liquid refrigerant whose degree of subcooling at the outlet of the vessel is 0°C increases, whereby the temperature (outlet temperature) of the cooling pipe CR increases. This makes it easy to suppress condensation on the cooling pipe CR. As a result, problems such as condensation water dripping on, for example, the electric components constituting the air conditioning system and causing short-circuiting, are less likely to occur.
During the condensation suppression operation of the air conditioning system according to the present embodiment, the time of controlling the opening degree of the flow rate control member DM is shifted from the time of controlling the opening degree of the outdoor flow rate regulator CD, and thus the control can be simplified.
<Second Embodiment
An air conditioning system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a circuit structure of the air conditioning system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The structure of the air conditioning system according to the present embodiment is basically the same as that of the air conditioning system according to the above-described first embodiment, a difference therebetween being that a switching device 20 is installed in the air conditioning system according to the present embodiment.
Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the switching device 20 that switches the air conditioning system between a cooling operation and a heating operation is installed in a refrigerant pipe R between a compressor 10 and an outdoor heat exchanger 30. One end of a vessel pressure-increasing pipe BP is connected between the compressor 10 and the switching device 20, while the other end of the vessel pressure-increasing pipe BP is connected between a vessel 40 and an outdoor flow rate regulator CD. Here, for example, a four-way switching valve is adopted as the switching device 20.
The operation of the air conditioning system according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
The air conditioning system according to the present embodiment can perform the heating operation in addition to the cooling operation and the condensation suppression operation. Since the cooling operation and the condensation suppression operation are similar to the cooling operation and the condensation suppression operation of the first embodiment, respectively, the description thereof will be omitted here, and only the heating operation will be described.
-Heating OperationHere, a flow rate control member DM is closed by a control unit 60, and the switching device 20 is switched to the state illustrated by the broken lines in FIG. 2.
In this state, refrigerant compressed by the compressor 10 and discharged from a discharge end of the compressor 10 flows into an indoor heat exchanger 50 via the switching device 20. The indoor heat exchanger 50 exchanges heat with the refrigerant, and the resultant low-temperature refrigerant then flows into the cooling pipe CR and cools electric components by means of the cooling pipe CR.
Next, the refrigerant flows out of the cooling pipe CR, and flows through the vessel 40 and the outdoor flow rate regulator CD.
Thereafter, the refrigerant flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 30, and then the outdoor heat exchanger 30 exchanges heat with the refrigerant.
Finally, the refrigerant flows out of the outdoor heat exchanger 30, and returns to a suction end of the compressor 10 via the switching device 20.
According to the air conditioning system of the present embodiment, in a similar manner to the above-described first embodiment, when the control unit 60 determines that a cooling pipe condensation condition is satisfied (when, for example, an outlet temperature TL of the cooling pipe CR is lower than an environmental temperature Ta during the cooling operation), the control unit 60 increases the opening degree of the flow rate control member DM. As a result, the pressure of saturated liquid refrigerant whose degree of subcooling at the outlet of the vessel 40 is 0°C increases, whereby the temperature (outlet temperature) of the cooling pipe CR increases. This makes it easy to suppress condensation on the cooling pipe CR. As a result, problems such as condensation water dripping on, for example, the electric components constituting the air conditioning system and causing short-circuiting, are less likely to occur.
The air conditioning system according to the present embodiment can be switched between the cooling operation and the heating operation as necessary.
Although the present invention has been described above by way of examples with reference to the drawings, it is clear that the specific implementation of the present invention is not restricted by the above-described embodiments.
For example, the water heat exchanger is adopted as the outdoor heat exchanger 30 in the above-described embodiments, but the outdoor heat exchanger is not limited to the water heat exchanger. Alternatively, an air heat exchanger may be adopted.
During the condensation suppression operation in the above-described embodiments, when the control unit 60 determines that the cooling pipe condensation condition is satisfied, the control unit 60 determines whether the outlet temperature TL of the cooling pipe CR is equal to the environmental temperature Ta while increasing the opening degree of the flow rate control member DM. If the outlet temperature TL of the cooling pipe CR cannot reach the environmental temperature Ta even at the maximum opening degree of the flow rate control member DM, the control unit 60 decreases the opening degree of the outdoor flow rate regulator CD.
However, the present invention is not limited to this operation. Alternatively, when the control unit 60 determines that the cooling pipe condensation condition is satisfied, the control unit 60 may increase the opening degree of the flow rate control member, and simultaneously decrease the opening degree of the outdoor flow rate regulator such that the outlet temperature of the cooling pipe reaches or exceeds the environmental temperature.
In this case, the outlet temperature of the cooling pipe can reach or exceed the environmental temperature relatively quickly.
Although the motor-operated valve is adopted as the flow rate control member DM in the above-described embodiments, the flow rate control member is not limited to the motoroperated valve. Alternatively, an electromagnetic valve may be adopted.
In this case, when the control unit 60 determines that the cooling pipe condensation condition is satisfied during the condensation suppression operation, for example, the control unit 60 opens the flow rate control member DM and determines whether the outlet temperature TL of the cooling pipe CR is equal to or higher than the environmental temperature Ta, and if the outlet temperature TL of the cooling pipe CR cannot reach or exceed the environmental temperature Ta even with the opened flow rate control member DM, the control unit 60 decreases the opening degree of the outdoor flow rate regulator CD.
In this case, when the control unit 60 determines that the cooling pipe condensation condition is satisfied during the condensation suppression operation, for example, the control unit 60 may open the flow rate control member, and simultaneously decrease the opening degree of the outdoor flow rate regulator such that the outlet temperature of the cooling pipe reaches or exceeds the environmental temperature.
<Other Embodiments>
In the air conditioning systems according to the first and second embodiments, the vessel 40 is interposed between the cooling pipe CR and the outdoor flow rate regulator CD. Alternatively, the vessel 40 may be removed.
