The conventional annual cooling system employs a mechanical condensing pressure control valve, which keeps the condensing pressure at a constant value and secures a high-low pressure difference. Therefore, even in a refrigeration cycle using a capacity-controlled compressor, a constant high pressure can always be maintained even if the capacity of the compressor is controlled by the action of the mechanical pressure control valve, but the pressure on the low pressure side is frozen. Due to the balance of the cycle, it was in a poorly made state. Further, when positively controlling the pressure on the low pressure side, an evaporation pressure control valve may be used, but if an evaporation pressure control valve is used, the valve will be closed in order to increase the evaporator pressure and the refrigerant will be stored in the evaporator. Since the flow rate of the return refrigerant to the compressor is reduced and the low pressure is sharply decreased, the condensation pressure control valve for maintaining the high pressure causes the high and low pressure difference before and after the compressor. It was in an operating state that occurred more than necessary.

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the mechanical pressure control valve on the high-pressure side is actuated to increase the inlet pressure of the pressure reducing device in order to secure the circulation amount of the refrigerant, but the pressure on the low-pressure side is often not particularly considered, and the capacity control is performed. When used with a small capacity compressor, the evaporating pressure is high, but when it is used with a large capacity, it is lower, and when operating in the low temperature range, frost is formed on the evaporator and the compressor is adversely affected. There was a problem that the low pressure continued for a long time. Also, when using an evaporation pressure control valve that secures a constant evaporation pressure to prevent frost formation on the evaporator, the problem of frost formation prevention does not occur, but the refrigerant flow rate from the evaporator to the compressor is reduced In some cases, the low pressure of the compressor was abnormally reduced, causing problems such as overheating of the compressor motor.

An object of the present invention is to positively control so as to maintain a low pressure while properly maintaining a high pressure to prevent frost formation in the evaporator and normalize the operating state of the compressor.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a decompression device, and a refrigeration cycle having a condensing pressure control valve for varying the set value of the condensing pressure for controlling the high pressure of the refrigeration cycle. In the operation control device, a sensor for detecting high pressure and low pressure of the refrigeration cycle is provided,
When the low pressure value is smaller than the predetermined standard low pressure (P 2 ), the condensation pressure control valve is set so that the high pressure value rises above the predetermined standard high pressure (P 4 ). Increase the value and adjust the condensing pressure so that when the low pressure value is higher than the predetermined reference low pressure (P 2 ), the high pressure value is equal to or lower than the predetermined high reference pressure (P 4 ). This is to change the set value of the valve.

When the refrigeration cycle is operated in a cooling mode throughout the year, especially in winter, the high pressure is maintained at a constant value because the refrigeration cycle cannot be established unless the high pressure is raised above a certain value. However, in this case, the compressor may be used with a large capacity, or the low pressure may become low at the start of operation in winter. Further, in order to prevent frost formation on the evaporator, it is necessary to secure the low pressure to a certain value or higher. Therefore, when the low pressure is controlled to be a certain value or higher with the evaporation pressure adjusting valve or the like while keeping the high pressure at a constant value, the evaporation pressure adjusting valve is closed to increase the low pressure. Therefore, the flow rate of the return refrigerant to the compressor is reduced, the low pressure is abnormally lowered, the operation lower limit value of the compressor is exceeded, and problems such as overheating occur.

Therefore, when the low pressure value is smaller than a predetermined reference low pressure (P 2 ), the condensation pressure control valve is adjusted so that the high pressure value rises above the predetermined reference high pressure (P 4 ). Increase the setting value of. As a result, the high pressure is
Although it slightly exceeds the reference high pressure (P 4 ) which is an appropriate value, the flow rate of the refrigerant increases and the low pressure can be maintained at a high level, so that the compressor can be operated normally.

Also, when the low pressure value is above a predetermined reference low pressure (P 2 ), the condensation pressure control valve is set so that the high pressure value is below a predetermined reference high pressure (P 4 ). By controlling the value, it is possible to prevent unnecessary increase of power and improve the efficiency of the compressor.

The first figure of the operating pressure change, the 1,3 respectively low pressure Ps, Ps'2,4 the high pressure Pd, P'd, 5 is the reference pressure (low pressure) P 2, 6 before operating balance pressure P 1 and 7 are low pressure after control
P 3 , 8 indicates a standard high pressure P 4 . In FIG. 1 , the pressure before operation is at the value of P 1 (balance pressure before operation 6), and after operation, when there is no control, it follows the solid lines of low pressure Ps1 and high pressure Pd1. High pressure does not rise in winter, etc. 8
It takes time to reach the reference pressure P 4, and under low-pressure side operating conditions (low temperature region), 5 reference pressure (low pressure) P 2 is not satisfied, and frost on the evaporator and high-pressure difference in pressure are large, causing abnormal compressor operation.

Next, if the low-pressure pressure does not satisfy the reference value P 2 , even if the low-pressure pressure reaches the high-pressure reference value P 4 , the higher pressure 4 High-pressure pressure Pd ′
The condensing pressure control valve is controlled to increase the inlet pressure of the pressure reducing device to increase the refrigerant flow rate, and the low pressure of 3 is controlled to 7 and then to the low pressure Ps'. If the pressure reaches the 5 reference pressure (low pressure) P 2 , the condensing pressure control valve is controlled so that the 4 high pressure Pd ′ is reduced to the 8 reference high pressure P 4 .

According to the present description, during the cooling operation in winter, the high pressure can be maintained and the low pressure can be actively controlled at the same time. If the low-pressure pressure satisfies the reference pressure, the high-pressure pressure is controlled to be as low as possible, and as a result, unnecessary pressure rise is prevented and COP can be improved by about 15 to 30%. Furthermore, in the air conditioner of the type where the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are separated, the length of the connecting pipe is limited due to pressure loss, but although it was dealt with by thickening the conventional pipe, the generation of flash gas due to the pressure loss before the decompression device is considered However, it was necessary to raise the set pressure. This time, it is possible to deal automatically by limiting the detection of the low-pressure side pressure.
