Below, with reference to description of drawings one embodiment of the invention.Among the figure, annotate with same numeral with part identical among Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Figure 10, its detailed description is omitted.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 represent the unitary construction of air conditioner.A is an outdoor unit, and B is an indoor unit.
In this outdoor unit A and indoor unit B, carrying out the heat pump type refrigerating circulation.
That is, condenser 43 is connected with the outlet of compressor 41 by cross valve 42, and evaporimeter 45 is connected with this condenser 43 by electronic exapnsion valve 44.The suction inlet of compressor 41 is connected with evaporimeter 45 by cross valve 42.
Pipe arrangement 51 is used for the connection of outdoor unit A.Pipe arrangement 52 is used for the connection of indoor unit B side.
During refrigeration, cross valve 42 is set in the state of Fig. 1, the cold-producing medium of discharging from compressor 41 flows to cross valve 42, condenser 43, electronic exapnsion valve 44, evaporimeter 45 as shown by arrows, and the cold-producing medium that has passed through evaporimeter 45 is inhaled into compressor 41 by cross valve 42.
During heating, cross valve 42 is set in the state of Fig. 2, the cold-producing medium of discharging from compressor 41 flows to cross valve 42, condenser 45, electronic exapnsion valve 44, evaporimeter 43 as shown by arrows, and the cold-producing medium that has passed through evaporimeter 43 is inhaled into compressor 41 by cross valve 42.
Cold-producing medium in the kind of refrigeration cycle is that the ozone layer destroying coefficient is zero cold-producing medium, for example HFC cold-producing medium, HFE cold-producing medium (hydrogen fluorine ether), CO 2Cold-producing medium, propane L 3H 8(R-290) etc. the cold-producing medium that contains hydrocarbon class material or ammonia.Wherein, make the HFC cold-producing medium, the unitary system cryogen that HFC-32 (Difluoroethane), HFC-125 (pentafluoroethane), HFC-134a (HFC-134a) etc. are arranged, perhaps, be the mixing of these cold-producing mediums, for example R410A cold-producing medium (HFC-125 of the HFC-32 of 50% weight and 50% weight mixes), R407C (mixing of HFC-32, HFC-125, HFC134a) etc.Also can use the propane L of hydrocarbon class 3H 8(R-290).
But, these refrigerant pressure height, poisonous, and have combustibility.Must guarantee safety in use.
In order to ensure safety,, set greater than the compressive resistance of the outdoor piping 51 that is used for outdoor unit A the compressive resistance that is used for the indoor tube 52 that indoor unit B connects.
The compressive resistance of indoor tube 52 set under the situation greater than the compressive resistance of outdoor piping 51, when refrigerant pressure raises unusually, situations such as pipe arrangement breakage, cold-producing medium leakage are compared with indoor (residential area) pipe arrangement 52, take place in outside pipe arrangement 52 earlier.Like this, can prevent to produce in indoor (residential area) pipe arrangement 52 breakage or cold-producing medium leakage.Even adopt pressure height, combustibility, poisonous cold-producing medium, the gas of fire or insalubrity can not relate to the indoor people that lives, and can guarantee safety.
In kind of refrigeration cycle; pressure switch or compressor motor current detector etc. are set detect the unusual device that raises of refrigerant pressures, detecting when unusual, the running of compressor is stopped or reducing the rotation number compressed etc.; protect control, this is common way.When this protection control lost function because of the failure and other reasons of checkout gear, as mentioned above, the breakage of pipe arrangement, cold-producing medium leakage etc. occurred in the pipe arrangement 51 of outside, can make the indoor people of living not be subjected to its evil.
The compressive resistance of indoor tube 52 set for example have greater than the concrete way of the compressive resistance of outdoor piping 51 following etc.: (1) does the external diameter of indoor tube 52 less than the external diameter of outdoor piping 51.(2) do the pipe thickness of indoor tube 52 greater than the pipe thickness of outdoor piping 51.(3) make the strength of materials of the strength of materials of indoor tube 52 greater than outdoor piping 51.(4) make the intensity at other position of this pipe arrangement 51 of strength ratio of certain privileged site of outdoor piping 51 slightly little.
When doing less than the external diameter of outdoor piping 51, can lower the stress of refrigerant pressure to the external diameter of indoor tube 52 to indoor tube 52.
If the external diameter of indoor tube 52 is d 1, pipe thickness is t 1, material allowable stress value is k 1, allowable pressure is p 2The time, p then 1=k 1(t 2/ d 1).
If the external diameter of outdoor piping 51 is d 2, pipe thickness is t 2, material allowable stress value is k 2, allowable pressure is p 2The time, p then 2=k 2(t 2/ d 2).
Therefore, can obtain p 1/ p 2=k 1/ k 2T 2/ t 2D 1/ d 2Relation.According to this relation, select p as shown in the formula (a)~(c) 1>p 2Combination, can set the compressive resistance of indoor tube 52 to such an extent that open the compressive resistance of outdoor piping 51 greatly.
(a) t 1=t 2, k 1=k 2The time, d 1<d 2
(b) d 1=d 2, k 1=k 2The time, t 1>t 2
(c) t 1=t 2, d 1=d 2The time, k 1>k 2
Setting the compressive resistance of indoor tube 52 greater than one of concrete way of the compressive resistance of outdoor piping 51, is above-mentioned (4), that is, the intensity of certain privileged site that makes pipe arrangement 5 is less than the intensity at other position of this pipe arrangement 51.Like this, when refrigerant pressure raise unusually, situations such as the damage of pipe arrangement or cold-producing medium leakage occurred in the privileged site of outside pipe arrangement 51.
In this structure, surround the privileged site of pipe arrangement 51, can prevent or reduce cold-producing medium and leak influence other parts of outdoor unit A with cap assembly.
Below, another embodiment is described.Among this embodiment,, be the heat exchanger that has high withstand voltage properties for the such high-pressure refrigerant of R-410A as the heat exchanger 1 of condenser 43 and evaporimeter 45 uses.Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 represent the cage structure of wanting of this heat exchanger.The unitary construction of this heat exchanger 1 and Fig. 8, shown in Figure 9 identical.
Both ends 32a, the 32a of return bend 32, through forging processing, the draw forms tubaeform 32b and the 32a of draw portion, 32a, and the 32a of this draw portion, 32a are inserted into expansion tube department 31a, 31a more inboard of heat-exchange tube 31.
Along the 32a of draw portion of heat-exchange tube 31 tube axial directions, the length L a of 32a, be set at the position that can reach corresponding to heat exchanger side end face heat release fin 2.Along the length L b of tubaeform 32b, 32b of heat-exchange tube 31 tube axial directions, be set at and equal in length along heat-exchange tube 31 tube axial directions tubaeform 31b, 31b.
Among the figure, can see between heat-exchange tube 31 inner peripheral surfaces and return bend 32 outer peripheral faces gappedly, but in fact this gap is minimum, perhaps with the soldering welding and do not exist.This lap couples together return bend 32 and heat-exchange tube 31 by soldering.
According to this structure, for the part (length=k that stretches out in heat release fin 2 of heat-exchange tube 31 1+ k 2), the outer peripheral face of return bend 32 and its tight contact form dual pipe structure herein.
Because this dual pipe structure at the whole join domain of heat-exchange tube 31 with return bend 32, can obtain high strength and durability.
Promptly, bear the stress that refrigerant pressure (interior pressure) produces jointly by tubaeform 31b, the 31b both sides of tubaeform 32b, 32b of return bend 32 and heat-exchange tube 31 and concentrate, stress is concentrated can avoid resembling in the prior art only acts on tubaeform 31b, the 31b of heat-exchange tube 31.
And, because the lap of heat-exchange tube 31 inner peripheral surfaces and return bend 32 outer peripheral faces is longer along the pipe range direction, so welding can not be expressed into heat-exchange tube 31 the insides with solder, can carry out good welding.Therefore, do not have scolder to stop up in the inside of heat-exchange tube 31, can guarantee that the smooth and easy of cold-producing medium flows.
As shown in Figure 5, the length of the 32a of draw portion, the 32a of return bend 32 is prolonged, make the 32a of this draw portion, 32a further reach side in the heat exchanger from the position corresponding to heat release fin 2, then heat-exchange tube 31 is more with the lap of return bend 32, can improve intensity and durability more.
As shown in Figure 9, among each heat-exchange tube 31, end at the heat-exchange tube 31 of cold-producing medium inflow side and inflow side, connecting outside pipe arrangement 4 with inserting, this outside pipe arrangement 4 is used to connect other kind of refrigeration cycle parts, this outside pipe arrangement 4 inserts the heat-exchange tube 31 that is connecting, and as Fig. 6, ground shown in Figure 7, sets its mechanical strength bigger than other the mechanical strength of heat-exchange tube 31.
Make the mechanical strength of inserting the heat-exchange tube 31 that is connecting outside pipe arrangement 4 bigger than the mechanical strength of other heat-exchange tube 31, its concrete way as shown in Figure 6, do pipe thickness bigger than other heat-exchange tube 31, perhaps as shown in Figure 7, the join domain (brazing area) of accepting outside pipe arrangement 4 is long as much as possible along tube axial direction.
The connecting portion of pipe arrangement 4 and heat-exchange tube 31 externally, except the concentrated stress that refrigerant pressure causes was arranged, the stress that also has the vibration of vibration of compressor or air blast to cause was concentrated.But, because its mechanical strength is big, so, even effect has two kinds of above-mentioned collection power to concentrate, also can sustain.And low cost of manufacture.
Fig. 3 is in embodiment illustrated in fig. 7, and cold-producing medium is the R-410A that contains the above HFC-32 of 45% weight that adopts, the saturation pressure of this cold-producing medium in the time of 50 ℃ be 2500kpa (kPa) more than.With respect to existing R-22 cold-producing medium (saturation pressure during 65 ℃ of condensation temperatures is 2800kpa), though need high pressure resistant design, the heat exchanger of Fig. 3 to Fig. 7 structure has the enough high strength and the durability that can adapt to this cold-producing medium.
The present invention is not limited to the foregoing description, in the scope that does not change principal character, can do various changes.
