Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a heating capability from being reduced caused by over-throttling of an outdoor electric expansion valve by a method wherein the outdoor electric expansion valve is once opened to a predetermined degree of opening in response to a variation of outer air temperature or an operating horsepower of an indoor unit. CONSTITUTION:In a case that a multi-chamber type air conditioner is operated for example under a predetermined pressure of 16kg/cm<2>, an outer air temperature of 7 deg.C and an operting horsepower of 1 horsepower, a set temperature of refrigerant is determined to 11.2 deg.C and a temperature of refrigerant is equal to a set temperature of refrigerant at a degree of opening of an outdoor electric expansion valve 5 being 200 steps. An operting horsepower is 5 horsepower, a set temperature of the refrigerant is changed to 3.7 deg.C and then a control is carried out in such a way as the expansion valve 5 is once opened up to a predetermined degree of opening (300 steps in this case). Then, a condensing pressure is decreased and a sensing pressure is lowered below a predetermined pressure 16kg/cm<2>, and an inverter controller 13 instructs a variable capability compressor 2 to increase the operating frequency. Also in the case that the outer air temperature is varied, a similar operation as described above will be carried out. Accordingly, even in the case that the operating horsepower or the outer air temperature is varied, a reduction in capability caused by over-throttling of the expansion valve 5 is prevented.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, the following problems occur. The predetermined pressure is 16KF/1-ml,
For example, if the outside temperature is 7°C and the operating horsepower is 1 horsepower, the set refrigerant temperature is as shown below! When the detected refrigerant temperature is higher than 11.2°C, the opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 5 is controlled in the closing direction, and when it is lower than 11.2°C, the opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 5 is controlled in the opening direction. Bring the refrigerant temperature closer to the set refrigerant temperature. If the refrigerant temperature eventually becomes equal to the set refrigerant temperature when the outdoor electric expansion valve 6 opens 200 steps, the set refrigerant temperature will change due to changes in outside air temperature, changes in operating horsepower, etc., or changes in the detected refrigerant temperature due to system fluctuations. Unless otherwise specified, the opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 8 remains at 200 steps (the opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 5 is 0 steps at the minimum and 400 steps at the maximum).

Next, it is assumed that some of the joints in the stopped room are operated and the operating horsepower becomes 5 horsepower. At this time, the set refrigerant temperature is changed to 3.7°C according to the table. Then, the detected refrigerant temperature just before the change was 11.2℃, which is higher than the set refrigerant temperature.
The opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 5 is controlled in the closing direction to bring the detected refrigerant temperature closer to the set refrigerant temperature. However, when the outdoor electric expansion valve 8 is closed, the condensing pressure increases, so the detected pressure becomes the predetermined pressure 9. /d, the capacity of the variable capacity compressor 2 is controlled in the low speed direction.

つまり、運転馬力数が増加したにも拘らず室外電動膨張

In other words, even though the operating horsepower has increased, the outdoor electric expansion valve 6 is closed and the capacity of the variable capacity compressor 2 is also reduced, resulting in a decrease in the amount of refrigerant circulation and a decrease in heating capacity.

Also, if the predetermined pressure is 16Ky/d, and the outside temperature is 6Ky/d, for example,
℃, and when operating at 1 horsepower, the set refrigerant temperature is similarly determined from the table to 11.2℃, and if the detected refrigerant temperature is higher than 11.2℃, the setting is 11.2℃ in the closing direction. If the temperature is lower, the opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 5 is controlled in the opening direction to bring the refrigerant temperature closer to the set refrigerant temperature. If the opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 5 eventually becomes 200 steps and the refrigerant temperature becomes equal to the set refrigerant temperature, the operation continues with the opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 6 remaining at 200 steps.

Next, when the outside air temperature drops to 6℃, the set refrigerant temperature is set to 6. C) changed to C. Then, the detected refrigerant temperature just before the change was 11.2℃, which is higher than the set refrigerant temperature.
The opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 6 is controlled in the closing direction to bring the detected refrigerant temperature closer to the set refrigerant temperature. However, when the outdoor electric expansion valve 6 is closed, the condensing pressure increases, so that if the detected pressure is higher than the predetermined pressure 16 (9/cd), the capacity of the variable capacity compressor 2 is controlled in the low speed direction. In this case, a phenomenon occurs in which the heating capacity decreases when the outside temperature is low, which requires higher heating capacity.

In other words, if the set refrigerant temperature changes as the operating horsepower increases and the outside air temperature decreases, the heating capacity will decrease as described above if the set temperature after the change is lower than the set refrigerant temperature before the change.

One possible way to solve this problem is to always increase the set refrigerant temperature as the operating horsepower increases or the outside temperature decreases, but in this case, the optimal refrigerant temperature at that operating horsepower and outside temperature decreases. Because the refrigerant temperature deviates from the
This cannot be said to be an appropriate method because the operating efficiency of the system and the heating capacity are reduced compared to operating at the optimum refrigerant temperature.

Effects The present invention has the above-described configuration, so that during heating operation, when the operating horsepower increases, and when the outside air temperature drops, the air-powered electric expansion valve is activated regardless of the change in the set refrigerant temperature! By opening the outdoor electric expansion valve to a predetermined opening degree, the heating capacity is prevented from being reduced due to excessive throttling of the outdoor electric expansion valve and the resulting reduction in the operating frequency of the variable capacity compressor.

For example, a multi-room air conditioner has a predetermined pressure of 16 degrees,

It is determined to be 1.2℃ (S8), and the detected refrigerant temperature is 11.2℃.

Next, it is assumed that some of the stopped indoor units are operated and the operating horsepower becomes 6 horsepower (S9). At this time, the set refrigerant temperature is changed to 3.7°C according to the table below, but immediately after recognizing that it has changed from the previous refrigerant temperature setting category, the outdoor electric expansion valve 6 is temporarily adjusted to the predetermined opening. (in this case 30
(S14) The outdoor electric expansion valve 6 is opened up to 300 steps by the outdoor electric expansion valve controller 16. Then, the condensing pressure decreases and the detected pressure decreases below the predetermined pressure 1eKg/r-M, so the inverter controller 13 instructs the variable capacity compressor 2 to increase the operating frequency via the inverter 12, and the operating frequency increases. . Thereafter, if the refrigerant temperature (S10) detected by the refrigerant temperature detector 14 is higher than the set refrigerant temperature of 3.7°C, the outdoor electric expansion valve 5 is gradually controlled in the closing direction by the outdoor electric expansion valve controller 16 (S11). .S12,5
13) Eventually, the refrigerant temperature becomes equal to the set refrigerant temperature. In this case, since the operating frequency is higher than when operating at 1 horsepower, the opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve 5 when the refrigerant temperature becomes equal to the set refrigerant temperature does not become less than 2oo Nutep. When the operating horsepower number changes and increases, the operating frequency is increased by once opening the outdoor electric expansion valve 6, and the outdoor electric expansion valve 5 is closed to an opening degree that matches the increased operating frequency. By doing so, the refrigerant temperature can be brought close to the set refrigerant temperature appropriate for the operating conditions at that time, and this becomes an appropriate control method when the operating horsepower number changes.

尚、外気温度が変化した場合も上記と同様の動作となる
Note that the same operation as described above occurs when the outside air temperature changes.

従って、従来の様に運転馬力数や外気温度が変化した場

Therefore, even if the operating horsepower or the outside air temperature changes as in the conventional case, the outdoor electric expansion valve 6 is not throttled too much υ, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in comfort due to a decrease in performance.
