2. Description of the Related Art For example, Japanese Patent No. 2977046 discloses a technique for improving an ammonia refrigeration system. In the background art section of the publication, the conventional ammonia refrigerating apparatus is described as follows. "Conventionally, chlorofluorocarbon has been widely used as a refrigerant for the refrigeration apparatus. Decomposes to produce chlorine atoms,
The destruction of the ozone layer, which protects the Earth from the sun's strong ultraviolet radiation, has limited its use. Thus, ammonia has recently been reviewed as an alternative refrigerant to CFCs. The ammonia refrigerant has no risk of destruction of the global environment like CFCs, and its refrigeration effect is almost the same as that of CFCs and is inexpensive. However, since ammonia has a peculiar odor and is flammable, it is insoluble in mineral oil used as a lubricating oil for a compressor, and it has drawbacks such as a higher discharge temperature from the compressor. A refrigeration system configuration that does not cause problems due to these drawbacks is adopted. "
FIG. 6 shows a specific configuration of a conventional ammonia refrigeration apparatus.
(Corresponding to FIG. 6 of the gazette) and FIG. 7 (corresponding to FIG. 7 of the gazette) as follows.

Reference numeral 50 denotes a single-stage compression type direct expansion refrigeration system for obtaining heat of, for example, -10.degree. C. on the evaporator side and about + 35.degree. C. on the condenser side. The oil-mixed ammonia refrigerant compressed by the compressor 51 is separated into oil by the oil separator 52 and then cooled by the cooling water in the condenser 53.
It is condensed and liquefied in the condenser 53 by heat exchange with the 64 (acquisition heat: around 35 ° C.).

[0004] After the oil liquefied and separated at the time of the condensation is further separated by an oil reservoir 55 provided at the bottom of the high-pressure receiver 54, the ammonia refrigerant is decompressed and vaporized by an expansion valve 56, and is sent from a fan 58 in an evaporator 57. Heat exchange with supplied blast load (acquired heat:
(−10 ° C.), and further sucked into the suction side of the compressor 51 via the ammonia liquid / oil separator 59 to repeat the refrigeration cycle.

The fluid accumulates at 61 and is returned into the compressor 51 from the oil injection section 52a of the compressor 51 again to perform lubrication, sealing, cooling, and the like of the movable part.

[0007] The lubricating oils are generally paraffinic,
Although mineral lubricating oils such as naphthenic oils are used, since these lubricating oils do not dissolve in ammonia, an oil separator is provided on the discharge side of the compressor, and the lubricating oil is lubricated with the ammonia gas discharged from the compressor. Separates oil, and even if the separator is provided, mist-like lubricating oil cannot be completely removed,
Further, since the compressor is heated to a high temperature, the lubricating oil is slightly dissolved or mist mixed in the ammonia, enters the refrigeration cycle with the ammonia, and the lubricating oil that has entered the cycle is Because it is insoluble in ammonia and has a high specific gravity, it is easy to accumulate in the piping path of the cycle, and therefore, at the bottom of the high-pressure liquid receiving part 54, the oil draining parts 55 and 60 at the lower inlet side of the evaporator 57, respectively. Also compressor 51
The oil separator 59 must also be provided on the intake side of the oil tank, and it is necessary to collect these separated oils in the oil receiver 61 and then return the oil to the compressor again, which makes the configuration extremely complicated.

In addition, the fact that the lubricating oil is not dissolved in the refrigerant as described above means that the oil adheres to the wall of the heat exchange coil in the condenser 53 and the evaporator 57, thereby lowering the heat transfer efficiency. In a low-temperature evaporator, the viscosity of the oil increases and the oil drainage fluidity decreases, and the heat transfer efficiency further decreases.

For this reason, it is necessary to separate the insoluble oil at the inlet side of the evaporator 57 as much as possible. For example, when the decompressed refrigerant after passing through the expansion valve 56 is introduced from above the evaporator 57, for example, Even if a special separator is used, the evaporator 57
Therefore, in the system having the above-described structure, a so-called bottom feed structure in which an introduction portion is provided on the bottom side of the evaporator 57 has to be adopted.

However, when the bottom feed structure is employed, a so-called full structure, in which the refrigerant is necessarily discharged from the upper end of the evaporator against the gravity corresponding to the height of the evaporator 57, must be employed. Requires many refrigerants in the refrigeration cycle.

The above-mentioned ammonia refrigeration system has a service limit of about -20 ° C. However, in recent years, the temperature of industrial processes has been remarkably reduced, and especially in the food industry, prevention of melting of fat at the time of thawing and other quality maintenance are required. In most cases, the required freezing temperature is from −30 ° C. to the following. In particular, in the case of high-priced foods such as tuna, the frozen storage temperature is significantly low at −50 ° C. to −60 ° C.

[0012] Such a freezing temperature cannot be obtained by the single-stage compressor as described above, and usually a two-stage compressor is used. When the temperature is cooled to 40 ° C. or lower, the fluidity of the lubricating oil is significantly reduced, and the evaporator is easily clogged.

In order to solve such a drawback, a cryogenic ammonia two-stage compression type liquid pump recirculation system as shown in FIG. 7 has been proposed.

The structure will be briefly described focusing on the difference from the above-mentioned prior art. The condensate discharged from the high-pressure receiver 54 to the liquid pipe 66 cools the inside of the intercooler 68 by the expansion valve 67. The terminal end of the liquid pipe 66 is introduced into a supercooling pipe 69 in an intercooler 68, and after cooling to about −10 ° C. in the supercooling pipe 69, the liquid is cooled down and vaporized by an expansion valve 67 to receive a low pressure. It is introduced into the liquid container 70. As a result, the refrigerant liquid cooled to −40 ° C. to −50 ° C. or lower is stored in the receiver 70.

On the other hand, the vaporized refrigerant in the low-pressure liquid receiver 70 is sucked into the low-stage compressor 75 and compressed, and the compressed gas is cooled in the intercooler 68 and heat exchange in the intercooler 68 is performed. The condensed refrigerant introduced into the liquid supercooling pipe 69 and flowing from the liquid pipe 66 is
It is supercooled to about 10 ° C., decompressed and vaporized by the expansion valve 67, and introduced into the low-pressure receiver 70. Then, the vaporized refrigerant in the intercooler 68 is compressed by the high-stage compressor 51 ', and the cycle is repeated.

In the figure, reference numeral 76 denotes a liquid level float valve.

However, even in the prior art, not only the basic drawbacks such as the complicated oil recovery structure and the decrease in heat transfer efficiency are not solved, but also the low-pressure receiver is particularly difficult.
On the 70 side, the refrigerant liquid cooled to -40 ° C to -50 ° C is stored, so the lubricating oil stored in the oil reservoir is also cooled to about -40 ° C to -50 ° C, In order to perform the oil removal, the oil temperature has to be temporarily increased so that the continuous operation of the refrigeration cycle is hindered, and the cycle is repeated every time a predetermined amount of the oil is stored. And maintenance is required to recover the oil.

In the above-mentioned Japanese Patent No. 2977046, the conventional ammonia refrigerating apparatus is described as above, and as a measure for improving the refrigerating apparatus, the compatibility with the ammonia refrigerant is extremely good and the lubricating property is improved. In addition, a working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine in which a lubricating oil excellent in stability and an ammonia refrigerant are mixed is proposed, and a refrigerating apparatus using the working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine is proposed.

In the refrigeration system proposed above, since the lubricating oil is dissolved in the ammonia refrigerant, the lubricating oil does not separate and accumulate in the piping path unlike the conventional refrigeration system. Although it is unnecessary and has the advantage of simplifying the structure, oil (polyalkylene glycol or polyether) dissolved in the ammonia refrigerant has high hygroscopicity and water easily enters the refrigeration system. When moisture enters the refrigeration system, it can degrade refrigeration oil,
It is feared that ice may be frozen at the expansion valve, ice may be frozen at the suction filter unit, and various problems may occur.

As a result of investigations and studies by the present inventor to achieve the above object, a compressor, an oil separator,
In an ammonia refrigerating apparatus that includes a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator in this order and uses ammonia as a refrigerant, insoluble oils that do not dissolve in the ammonia refrigerant (for example, mineral lubricating oils such as paraffinic and naphthenic) are used. Due to its specific gravity difference (ammonia: specific gravity of 40 ° C liquid about 0.58, specific gravity of -40 ° C liquid about 0.69, mineral lubricating oil about 0.9), it does not dissolve with ammonia, so the expansion valve from the condenser and further evaporation It has been confirmed that the liquid accumulates in the lower part of the equipment or / and the pipeline etc. leading to the vessel. According to further investigations and examinations by the present inventors, the pressure at the position where these separated oils accumulate is, when the refrigeration apparatus is operating, the pressure in the inlet pipe of the compressor or the suction pressure of the compressor. It was found that the pressure was higher than the pressure at the snap-in position unless communicating with the port and the discharge port.
