2本の垂直方向ヘッダパイプと、両ヘッダパイプを連結する複数の水平方向偏平チューブを備えるサイドフロー方式のパラレルフロー型熱交換器において、1本の入口パイプに対し2本の出口パイプを設ける構成とすることがある。この場合、2本の出口パイプのうち1本は入口パイプよりも上に配置され、上位出口パイプとなる。他方の出口パイプは入口パイプよりも下に配置され、下位出口パイプとなる。入口パイプから熱交換器に流入した冷媒流は上下に二分され、上方の冷媒流は最終的に上位出口パイプから流出し、下方の冷媒流は最終的に下位出口パイプから流出する。本発明は、このような構成のパラレルフロー型熱交換器において、蒸発器として用いた場合にも熱交換効率を一層向上させることを目的とする。   Side flow type parallel flow type heat exchanger having two vertical header pipes and a plurality of horizontal flat tubes connecting the two header pipes, with two outlet pipes for one inlet pipe It may be. In this case, one of the two outlet pipes is disposed above the inlet pipe and becomes an upper outlet pipe. The other outlet pipe is disposed below the inlet pipe and serves as a lower outlet pipe. The refrigerant flow that flows into the heat exchanger from the inlet pipe is divided into two parts up and down, the upper refrigerant flow finally flows out from the upper outlet pipe, and the lower refrigerant flow finally flows out from the lower outlet pipe. An object of the present invention is to further improve the heat exchange efficiency even when used as an evaporator in a parallel flow heat exchanger having such a configuration.

本発明に係るパラレルフロー型熱交換器は、2本の垂直方向ヘッダパイプと、前記両ヘッダパイプを連結する複数の水平方向偏平チューブを備え、冷媒は入口パイプを通じて前記両ヘッダパイプの一方の内部の所定区画に流入し、当該区画に接続された複数の前記偏平チューブを通じて前記両ヘッダパイプの他方に流入し、当該ヘッダパイプ内の仕切板により上下に区分されて、最終的には上位出口パイプと下位出口パイプから流出するように冷媒流路が構成されており、前記入口パイプから前記下位出口パイプに至る冷媒流路よりも、前記入口パイプから前記上位出口パイプに至る冷媒流路の方に冷媒が入りやすい構成とされている。   The parallel flow heat exchanger according to the present invention includes two vertical header pipes and a plurality of horizontal flat tubes connecting the two header pipes, and a refrigerant passes through an inlet pipe and is inside one of the two header pipes. To the other of the header pipes through the plurality of flat tubes connected to the section, and is divided into upper and lower parts by a partition plate in the header pipe, and finally the upper outlet pipe The refrigerant flow path is configured to flow out from the lower outlet pipe, and the refrigerant flow path from the inlet pipe to the upper outlet pipe is more than the refrigerant flow path from the inlet pipe to the lower outlet pipe. The refrigerant is easy to enter.

上記構成のパラレルフロー型熱交換器において、前記入口パイプから冷媒が流入する前記区画に接続された前記複数の偏平チューブを、上の方が比較多数、下の方が比較少数となるように前記仕切板が上下に区分していることが好ましい。   In the parallel flow heat exchanger having the above-described configuration, the plurality of flat tubes connected to the section through which the refrigerant flows from the inlet pipe has a comparatively large number on the upper side and a comparatively small number on the lower side. It is preferable that the partition plate is divided up and down.

上記構成のパラレルフロー型熱交換器において、前記入口パイプから冷媒が流入する前記区画の上寄りの位置に前記入口パイプが接続されていることが好ましい。   In the parallel flow heat exchanger having the above configuration, it is preferable that the inlet pipe is connected to an upper position of the section into which the refrigerant flows from the inlet pipe.

上記構成のパラレルフロー型熱交換器において、前記偏平チューブは、前記入口パイプから前記下位出口パイプに至る冷媒流路よりも、前記入口パイプから前記上位出口パイプに至る冷媒流路の方に多く配分されていることが好ましい。   In the parallel flow heat exchanger configured as described above, the flat tubes are more distributed in the refrigerant flow path from the inlet pipe to the upper outlet pipe than in the refrigerant flow path from the inlet pipe to the lower outlet pipe. It is preferable that

上記構成のパラレルフロー型熱交換器において、前記ヘッダパイプの一方に前記入口パイプが複数本接続され、これら複数本の入口パイプのそれぞれに対し、前記上位出口パイプと前記下位出口パイプが設けられていることが好ましい。   In the parallel flow heat exchanger configured as described above, a plurality of the inlet pipes are connected to one of the header pipes, and the upper outlet pipe and the lower outlet pipe are provided for each of the plurality of inlet pipes. Preferably it is.

上記構成のパラレルフロー型熱交換器において、前記複数本の入口パイプのそれぞれに対し、1本の冷媒パイプから分かれた複数の分流パイプの1つが接続されており、前記冷媒パイプは前記複数の分流パイプに分岐する箇所の直近上流で偏平化されていることが好ましい。   In the parallel flow heat exchanger configured as described above, one of a plurality of branch pipes separated from one refrigerant pipe is connected to each of the plurality of inlet pipes, and the refrigerant pipe is connected to the plurality of branch pipes. It is preferable that the flattening is performed immediately upstream of the location where the pipe branches.

上記構成のパラレルフロー型熱交換器において、前記冷媒パイプは、横並びとなった前記複数の分流パイプの横並び方向において偏平化されていることが好ましい。   In the parallel flow heat exchanger having the above-described configuration, it is preferable that the refrigerant pipe is flattened in a side-by-side direction of the plurality of branch pipes arranged side by side.

入口パイプから流入する気液混合状態の冷媒は、自然の傾向として下方に向かおうとする。入口パイプが接続された側のヘッダパイプから、複数の偏平チューブを通じて冷媒が流入する他方のヘッダパイプ内には、冷媒を上下に二分して最終的には上位出口パイプと下位出口パイプの両方から冷媒が流出するようにする仕切板が設けられているが、入口パイプから下位出口パイプに至る冷媒流路よりも、入口パイプから上位出口パイプに至る冷媒流路の方に冷媒が入りやすくなる構成となっているから、上下の冷媒流路に冷媒をバランス良く流すことができ、熱交換効率が向上する。   The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flowing from the inlet pipe tends to go downward as a natural tendency. From the header pipe on the side where the inlet pipe is connected, into the other header pipe into which the refrigerant flows through a plurality of flat tubes, the refrigerant is divided into two parts up and down, and finally from both the upper outlet pipe and the lower outlet pipe A partition plate that allows the refrigerant to flow out is provided, but the refrigerant is more likely to enter the refrigerant flow path from the inlet pipe to the upper outlet pipe than the refrigerant flow path from the inlet pipe to the lower outlet pipe. Therefore, the refrigerant can be allowed to flow in a balanced manner in the upper and lower refrigerant channels, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.

本発明の第1実施形態に係るサイドフロー方式のパラレルフロー型熱交換器の構造を、図1を参照しつつ説明する。図1では紙面上側が熱交換器の上側、紙面下側が熱交換器の下側となる。   The structure of the side flow parallel flow heat exchanger according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, the upper side of the paper is the upper side of the heat exchanger, and the lower side of the paper is the lower side of the heat exchanger.

パラレルフロー型熱交換器1Aはサイドフロー方式であり、2本の垂直方向ヘッダパイプ2、3と、その間に配置される複数の水平方向偏平チューブ4を備える。ヘッダパイプ2、3は水平方向に間隔を置いて平行に配置され、偏平チューブ4は垂直方向に所定ピッチで配置されている。実際に機器に搭載する段階では、パラレルフロー型熱交換器1は設計の要請に従って様々な角度に据え付けられるから、本明細書における「垂直方向」「水平方向」は厳格に解釈されるべきものではない。単なる方向の目安として理解されるべきである。   The parallel flow type heat exchanger 1A is a side flow type, and includes two vertical header pipes 2 and 3 and a plurality of horizontal flat tubes 4 disposed therebetween. The header pipes 2 and 3 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction at intervals, and the flat tubes 4 are arranged at a predetermined pitch in the vertical direction. Since the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1 is installed at various angles according to design requirements at the stage of actually mounting on equipment, “vertical direction” and “horizontal direction” in this specification should not be strictly interpreted. Absent. It should be understood as a mere measure of direction.

偏平チューブ4は金属を押出成型した細長い成型品であり、図2に示す通り、内部には冷媒を流通させる冷媒通路5が形成されている。偏平チューブ4は長手方向である押出成型方向を水平にする形で配置されるので、冷媒通路5の冷媒流通方向も水平になる。冷媒通路4は断面形状及び断面面積の等しいものが図2の左右方向に複数個並び、そのため偏平チューブ4の垂直断面はハーモニカ状を呈している。各冷媒通路5はヘッダパイプ2、3の内部に連通する。   The flat tube 4 is an elongated molded product obtained by extruding a metal, and as shown in FIG. 2, a refrigerant passage 5 through which a refrigerant flows is formed. Since the flat tube 4 is disposed so that the extrusion direction, which is the longitudinal direction, is horizontal, the refrigerant flow direction of the refrigerant passage 5 is also horizontal. A plurality of refrigerant passages 4 having the same cross-sectional shape and cross-sectional area are arranged in the left-right direction in FIG. 2, and therefore the vertical cross section of the flat tube 4 has a harmonica shape. Each refrigerant passage 5 communicates with the inside of the header pipes 2 and 3.

隣り合う偏平チューブ4同士の間にはコルゲートフィン6が配置される。上下に並ぶコルゲートフィン6のうち、最上段のものと最下段のものの外側にはサイドプレート7が配置される。   Corrugated fins 6 are arranged between the adjacent flat tubes 4. Of the corrugated fins 6 arranged in the vertical direction, side plates 7 are arranged outside the uppermost and lowermost ones.

ヘッダパイプ2、3、偏平チューブ4、コルゲートフィン6、及びサイドプレート7はいずれもアルミニウム等熱伝導の良い金属からなり、偏平チューブ4はヘッダパイプ2、3に対し、コルゲートフィン6は偏平チューブ4に対し、サイドプレート7はコルゲートフィン6に対し、それぞれロウ付けまたは溶着で固定される   The header pipes 2 and 3, the flat tubes 4, the corrugated fins 6, and the side plates 7 are all made of a metal having good heat conductivity such as aluminum. The flat tubes 4 are the flat tubes 4 with respect to the header pipes 2 and 3. On the other hand, the side plate 7 is fixed to the corrugated fin 6 by brazing or welding, respectively.

ヘッダパイプ2の内部は、3枚の仕切板P1、P2、P3により4個の区画S1、S2、S3、S4に仕切られている。区画S1は合計24本の偏平チューブ4のうち4本を受け持ち、区画S2は8本を受け持ち、区画S3は7本を受け持ち、区画S4は5本を受け持つ。   The interior of the header pipe 2 is partitioned into four sections S1, S2, S3, and S4 by three partition plates P1, P2, and P3. The section S1 is responsible for four of the total 24 flat tubes 4, the section S2 is responsible for eight, the section S3 is responsible for seven, and the section S4 is responsible for five.

ヘッダパイプ3の内部は、2枚の仕切板P4、P5により3個の区画S5、S6、S7に仕切られている。区画S5は合計24本の偏平チューブ4のうち8本を受け持ち、区画S6は6本を受け持ち、区画S7は10本を受け持つ。   The interior of the header pipe 3 is partitioned into three sections S5, S6, and S7 by two partition plates P4 and P5. The section S5 is responsible for eight of the total 24 flat tubes 4, the section S6 is responsible for six, and the section S7 is responsible for ten.

上記した偏平チューブ4の総数、各ヘッダパイプ内部の仕切板の数とそれによって仕切られる区画の数、及び各区画が受け持つ偏平チューブ4の数は、いずれも単なる例示であり、発明を限定するものではない。このことは第2実施形態以降の実施形態についても同じである。   The total number of the flat tubes 4 described above, the number of partition plates inside each header pipe and the number of partitions partitioned thereby, and the number of flat tubes 4 that each partition is responsible for are only examples and limit the invention. is not. The same applies to the second and subsequent embodiments.

区画S6には入口パイプ8が接続される。区画S1には上位出口パイプ9が接続され、区画S4には下位出口パイプ10が接続される。入口パイプ8は区画S6の上下方向中央の位置に配置されている。   An inlet pipe 8 is connected to the section S6. The upper outlet pipe 9 is connected to the section S1, and the lower outlet pipe 10 is connected to the section S4. The inlet pipe 8 is disposed at the center in the vertical direction of the section S6.

区画S6に一端が接続する6本の偏平チューブ4は、仕切板P2により上の4本と下の2本に分けられている。上の4本の偏平チューブ4は区画S6と区画S2を連結し、冷媒流路A1を形成する。下の2本の偏平チューブ4は区画S6と区画S3を連結し、冷媒流路A2を形成する。冷媒流路A1、A2はそれぞれブロック矢印で象徴されている。   The six flat tubes 4 whose one ends are connected to the partition S6 are divided into the upper four and the lower two by the partition plate P2. The upper four flat tubes 4 connect the section S6 and the section S2 to form the refrigerant flow path A1. The lower two flat tubes 4 connect the sections S6 and S3 to form the refrigerant flow path A2. Refrigerant flow paths A1 and A2 are symbolized by block arrows, respectively.

区画S2と区画S5を連結する4本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路Bを形成する。区画S5と区画S1を連結する4本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路Cを形成する。区画S3と区画S7を連結する5本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路Dを形成する。区画S7と区画S4を連結する5本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路Eを形成する。   The four flat tubes 4 connecting the section S2 and the section S5 form the refrigerant flow path B. The four flat tubes 4 connecting the section S5 and the section S1 form a refrigerant flow path C. The five flat tubes 4 connecting the section S3 and the section S7 form a refrigerant flow path D. The five flat tubes 4 connecting the section S7 and the section S4 form a refrigerant flow path E.

パラレルフロー型熱交換器1Aの機能は次の通りである。入口パイプ8を通じて区画S6に冷媒を供給すると、冷媒は冷媒流路A1、A2を通って区画S2、S3に向かう。区画S2に入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路Bを通って区画S5に向かう。区画S5に入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路Cを通って区画S1に向かう。区画S1に入った冷媒は上位出口パイプ9より流出する。区画S3に入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路Dを通って区画S7に向かう。区画S7に入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路Eを通って区画S4に向かう。区画S4に入った冷媒は下位出口パイプ10より流出する。   The function of the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1A is as follows. When the refrigerant is supplied to the compartment S6 through the inlet pipe 8, the refrigerant goes to the compartments S2 and S3 through the refrigerant flow paths A1 and A2. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S2 is turned back through the refrigerant flow path B toward the compartment S5. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S5 turns back there, and passes through the refrigerant flow path C toward the compartment S1. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S1 flows out from the upper outlet pipe 9. The refrigerant that has entered the section S3 is turned back through the refrigerant flow path D and heads for the section S7. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S7 is turned back through the refrigerant flow path E to the compartment S4. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S4 flows out from the lower outlet pipe 10.

区画S6に接続された6本の偏平チューブ4は仕切板P2によって上下に区分されるが、仕切板P2は、上の方が4本と、下の方が2本と、上の方が比較多数を形成し、下の方が比較少数を形成するように区分しているので、入口パイプ8から下位出口パイプ10に至る冷媒流路よりも、入口パイプ8から上位出口パイプ9に至る冷媒流路の方に冷媒が入りやすい。このため、本来は下の冷媒流路の方に冷媒が流れやすいにもかかわらず、特に蒸発器として用いられる場合、入口パイプ8のあるヘッダパイプ3内部で気液分離し液体の冷媒が下の方の冷媒流路に流れやすいにもかかわらず、上下の冷媒流路に冷媒をバランス良く流すことができ、熱交換効率が向上する。   The six flat tubes 4 connected to the section S6 are divided up and down by a partition plate P2. The partition plate P2 is compared with four on the upper side and two on the lower side and on the upper side. The refrigerant flow from the inlet pipe 8 to the upper outlet pipe 9 rather than the refrigerant flow path from the inlet pipe 8 to the lower outlet pipe 10 is divided so that a large number is formed and the lower one forms a comparatively small number. It is easy for refrigerant to enter the road. For this reason, although the refrigerant tends to flow toward the lower refrigerant flow path originally, particularly when used as an evaporator, gas-liquid separation is performed inside the header pipe 3 where the inlet pipe 8 is located, and the liquid refrigerant is lower. In spite of being easy to flow into the other refrigerant flow path, the refrigerant can flow in a balanced manner in the upper and lower refrigerant flow paths, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.

仕切板をスライド式にして、高さを変えられるようにしておけば、冷媒循環量や冷媒の乾き度に応じた偏流防止が一層容易になる。   If the partition plate is slidable so that the height can be changed, prevention of drift according to the refrigerant circulation amount and the dryness of the refrigerant becomes easier.

本発明の第2実施形態に係るサイドフロー方式のパラレルフロー型熱交換器の構造を図3に示す。第1実施形態の構成要素と機能的に共通する構成要素には第1実施形態で用いたのと同じ符号を付し、説明は省略する。第3実施形態以下の実施形態についても同様とする。   FIG. 3 shows the structure of a side flow type parallel flow heat exchanger according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Components that are functionally common to the components of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those used in the first embodiment, and description thereof is omitted. The same applies to the third and following embodiments.

第2実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Bでは、仕切板P2は、区画S6に接続された6本の偏平チューブ4を、上が3本、下も3本と、上下同数に区分している。区画S6と区画S2を連結する3本の偏平チューブ4が冷媒流路A1を形成し、区画S6と区画S3を連結する3本の偏平チューブ4が冷媒流路A2を形成する。   In the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1B of the second embodiment, the partition plate P2 divides the six flat tubes 4 connected to the section S6 into the same number of top and bottom, three on the top and three on the bottom. Yes. The three flat tubes 4 connecting the sections S6 and S2 form the refrigerant flow path A1, and the three flat tubes 4 connecting the sections S6 and S3 form the refrigerant flow path A2.

第2実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Bでは、入口パイプ8の位置が第1実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Aと異なる。すなわち入口パイプ8は、区画S6の上下方向中央の位置ではなく、区画S6の上寄りの位置に配置されている。   In the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1B of the second embodiment, the position of the inlet pipe 8 is different from that of the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1A of the first embodiment. That is, the inlet pipe 8 is not positioned at the center in the up-down direction of the section S6 but at a position above the section S6.

入口パイプ8から区画S6に流入した冷媒は、自身が有している運動慣性のために、多くの部分が冷媒流路A1へと向かう。このため、冷媒流路A1と冷媒流路A2が同数の偏平チューブ4で形成されているにもかかわらず、冷媒通路A1の方に入りやすい。その結果、入口パイプ8から下位出口パイプ10に至る冷媒流路よりも、入口パイプ8から上位出口パイプ9に至る冷媒流路の方に冷媒が入りやすいということになる。このため、本来は下の冷媒流路の方に冷媒が流れやすいにもかかわらず、特に蒸発器として用いられる場合、入口パイプ8のあるヘッダパイプ3内部で気液分離し液体の冷媒が下の方の冷媒流路に流れやすいにもかかわらず、上下の冷媒流路に冷媒をバランス良く流すことができ、熱交換効率が向上する。   Most of the refrigerant that has flowed into the section S6 from the inlet pipe 8 is directed toward the refrigerant flow path A1 due to its own movement inertia. For this reason, although the refrigerant flow path A1 and the refrigerant flow path A2 are formed by the same number of flat tubes 4, the refrigerant flow path A1 can easily enter. As a result, the refrigerant is more likely to enter the refrigerant flow path from the inlet pipe 8 to the upper outlet pipe 9 than the refrigerant flow path from the inlet pipe 8 to the lower outlet pipe 10. For this reason, although the refrigerant tends to flow toward the lower refrigerant flow path originally, particularly when used as an evaporator, gas-liquid separation is performed inside the header pipe 3 where the inlet pipe 8 is located, and the liquid refrigerant is lower. In spite of being easy to flow into the other refrigerant flow path, the refrigerant can flow in a balanced manner in the upper and lower refrigerant flow paths, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.

本発明の第3実施形態に係るサイドフロー方式のパラレルフロー型熱交換器の構造を図4に示す。   FIG. 4 shows the structure of a side flow type parallel flow heat exchanger according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

第3実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Cでは、仕切板P2は、第1実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Aと同じく、区画S6に接続される6本の偏平チューブ4を上4本と下2本に区分する位置に置かれる。入口パイプ8は、第2実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Bと同じく、区画S6の上寄りの位置に配置されている。   In the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1C of the third embodiment, the partition plate P2 has four upper flat tubes 4 connected to the section S6 as in the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1A of the first embodiment. It is placed in a position that is divided into two. Similarly to the parallel flow heat exchanger 1B of the second embodiment, the inlet pipe 8 is disposed at a position above the section S6.

冷媒流路A1の方が冷媒流路A2よりも偏平チューブ4の本数が多く、その上入口パイプ8が区画S6の上寄りの位置に接続されているため、区画S6に流入した冷媒は冷媒流路A1に入りやすい。このため、本来は下の冷媒流路の方に冷媒が流れやすいにもかかわらず、上下の冷媒流路に冷媒量をバランス良く流すことができ、熱交換効率が向上する。   The refrigerant flow path A1 has more flat tubes 4 than the refrigerant flow path A2, and the upper inlet pipe 8 is connected to the upper position of the section S6, so that the refrigerant flowing into the section S6 flows into the refrigerant flow. Easy to enter road A1. For this reason, although the refrigerant tends to flow toward the lower refrigerant flow path, the amount of the refrigerant can flow in a balanced manner in the upper and lower refrigerant flow paths, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.

パラレルフロー型熱交換器1Cでは、冷媒流路Bは4本の偏平チューブ4で構成され、冷媒流路Cは5本の偏平チューブ4で構成されている。冷媒流路Dは5本の偏平チューブ4で構成され、冷媒流路Eは4本の偏平チューブ4で構成されている。このため、入口パイプ8から上位出口パイプ9に至る冷媒通路(A1、B、C)に含まれる偏平チューブ4の数と、入口パイプ8から下位出口パイプ10に至る冷媒通路(A2、D、E)に含まれる偏平チューブ4の数は、前者が13本、後者が11本となる。これにより、入口パイプ8から上位出口パイプ9に至る冷媒通路の放熱面積が増え、熱交換量が増大する。   In the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1 </ b> C, the refrigerant flow path B is constituted by four flat tubes 4, and the refrigerant flow path C is constituted by five flat tubes 4. The refrigerant flow path D is composed of five flat tubes 4, and the refrigerant flow path E is composed of four flat tubes 4. Therefore, the number of the flat tubes 4 included in the refrigerant passages (A1, B, C) from the inlet pipe 8 to the upper outlet pipe 9 and the refrigerant passages (A2, D, E from the inlet pipe 8 to the lower outlet pipe 10). ) Includes 13 flat tubes 4 and 11 flat tubes. Thereby, the heat radiation area of the refrigerant passage from the inlet pipe 8 to the upper outlet pipe 9 is increased, and the heat exchange amount is increased.

本発明の第4実施形態に係るサイドフロー方式のパラレルフロー型熱交換器の構造を図5に示す。   FIG. 5 shows the structure of a side flow parallel flow heat exchanger according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

第4実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Dが第1実施形態から第3実施形態までのパラレルフロー型熱交換器1A、1B、1Cと異なる点は、ヘッダパイプ2、3内の仕切板の数とそれによってもたらされる区画の数、及び上位出口パイプ9と下位出口パイプ10の位置である。すなわち次のようになっている。   The parallel flow type heat exchanger 1D of the fourth embodiment is different from the parallel flow type heat exchangers 1A, 1B, 1C from the first embodiment to the third embodiment in that the partition plates in the header pipes 2, 3 The number and the number of compartments provided thereby, and the position of the upper outlet pipe 9 and the lower outlet pipe 10. That is, it is as follows.

ヘッダパイプ2の内部は、1枚の仕切板P1により2個の区画S1、S2に仕切られている。区画S1は合計24本の偏平チューブ4のうち13本を受け持ち、区画S2は11本を受け持つ。   The inside of the header pipe 2 is partitioned into two sections S1 and S2 by one partition plate P1. The section S1 is responsible for 13 of the total 24 flat tubes 4, and the section S2 is responsible for 11.

ヘッダパイプ3の内部は、2枚の仕切板P2、P3により3個の区画S3、S4、S5に仕切られている。区画S3は合計24本の偏平チューブ4のうち9本を受け持ち、区画S4は6本を受け持ち、区画S5は9本を受け持つ。   The interior of the header pipe 3 is partitioned into three sections S3, S4, and S5 by two partition plates P2 and P3. The section S3 is responsible for nine of the 24 flat tubes 4, the section S4 is responsible for six, and the section S5 is responsible for nine.

区画S4には入口パイプ8が接続される。区画S3には上位出口パイプ9が接続され、区画S5には下位出口パイプ10が接続される。入口パイプ8は、区画S4の上下方向中央の位置ではなく、区画S4の上寄りの位置に配置されている。   An inlet pipe 8 is connected to the section S4. The upper outlet pipe 9 is connected to the section S3, and the lower outlet pipe 10 is connected to the section S5. The inlet pipe 8 is not located at the center in the up-down direction of the section S4 but at a position above the section S4.

区画S4に一端が接続する6本の偏平チューブ4は、仕切板P1により上の4本と下の2本に分けられている。上の4本の偏平チューブ4は区画S4と区画S1を連結し、冷媒流路A1を形成する。下の2本の偏平チューブ4は区画S4と区画S2を連結し、冷媒流路A2を形成する。   The six flat tubes 4 whose one ends are connected to the partition S4 are divided into the upper four and the lower two by the partition plate P1. The upper four flat tubes 4 connect the section S4 and the section S1 to form the refrigerant flow path A1. The two lower flat tubes 4 connect the section S4 and the section S2 to form the refrigerant flow path A2.

区画S1と区画S3を連結する9本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路Bを形成する。区画S2と区画S5を連結する9本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路Cを形成する。   The nine flat tubes 4 that connect the section S1 and the section S3 form the refrigerant flow path B. Nine flat tubes 4 connecting the sections S2 and S5 form a refrigerant flow path C.

パラレルフロー型熱交換器1Dの機能は次の通りである。入口パイプ8を通じて区画S4に冷媒を供給すると、冷媒は冷媒流路A1、A2を通って区画S1、S2に向かう。区画S1に入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路Bを通って区画S3に向かう。区画S3に入った冷媒は上位出口パイプ9より流出する。区画S2に入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路Cを通って区画S5に向かう。区画S5に入った冷媒は下位出口パイプ10より流出する。   The function of the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1D is as follows. When the refrigerant is supplied to the section S4 through the inlet pipe 8, the refrigerant goes to the sections S1 and S2 through the refrigerant flow paths A1 and A2. The refrigerant that has entered the section S1 is turned back through the refrigerant flow path B toward the section S3. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S3 flows out from the upper outlet pipe 9. The refrigerant that has entered the section S2 is turned back through the refrigerant flow path C and then travels to the section S5. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S5 flows out from the lower outlet pipe 10.

冷媒流路A1の方が冷媒流路A2よりも偏平チューブ4の本数が多く、その上入口パイプ8が区画S4の上寄りの位置に接続されているため、区画S4に流入した冷媒は冷媒流路A1に入りやすい。このため、本来は下の冷媒流路の方に冷媒が流れやすいにもかかわらず、特に蒸発器として用いられる場合に液体の冷媒が下に流れやすいにもかかわらず、
上下の冷媒流路に冷媒をバランス良く流すことができ、熱交換効率が向上する。
The refrigerant flow path A1 has more flat tubes 4 than the refrigerant flow path A2, and the upper inlet pipe 8 is connected to the upper position of the section S4, so that the refrigerant flowing into the section S4 flows into the refrigerant flow. Easy to enter road A1. For this reason, despite the fact that the refrigerant tends to flow toward the lower refrigerant flow path, the liquid refrigerant tends to flow downward particularly when used as an evaporator,
The refrigerant can flow in a balanced manner in the upper and lower refrigerant channels, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.

パラレルフロー型熱交換器1Dでは、冷媒流路Bと冷媒流路Cはいずれも9本の偏平チューブ4で構成されている。このため、入口パイプ8から上位出口パイプ9に至る冷媒通路(A1、B)に含まれる偏平チューブ4の数と、入口パイプ8から下位出口パイプ10に至る冷媒通路(A2、C)に含まれる偏平チューブ4の数は、前者が13本、後者が11本となる。これにより、入口パイプ8から上位出口パイプ9に至る冷媒通路の放熱面積が増え、熱交換量が増大する。   In the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1D, the refrigerant flow path B and the refrigerant flow path C are each composed of nine flat tubes 4. For this reason, the number of flat tubes 4 included in the refrigerant passage (A1, B) from the inlet pipe 8 to the upper outlet pipe 9 and the refrigerant passage (A2, C) from the inlet pipe 8 to the lower outlet pipe 10 are included. The number of the flat tubes 4 is 13 for the former and 11 for the latter. Thereby, the heat radiation area of the refrigerant passage from the inlet pipe 8 to the upper outlet pipe 9 is increased, and the heat exchange amount is increased.

第1実施形態から第3実施形態までのパラレルフロー型熱交換器1A、1B、1Cでは、入口パイプ8が接続されたヘッダパイプとは別のヘッダパイプに上位出口パイプ9と下位出口パイプが接続されていたのに対し、第4実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Dでは、入口パイプ8が接続されたのと同じヘッダパイプに上位出口パイプ9と下位出口パイプ10も接続されている。このため、冷媒配管の設計と施行が容易である。   In the parallel flow heat exchangers 1A, 1B and 1C from the first embodiment to the third embodiment, the upper outlet pipe 9 and the lower outlet pipe are connected to a header pipe different from the header pipe to which the inlet pipe 8 is connected. In contrast, in the parallel flow heat exchanger 1D of the fourth embodiment, the upper outlet pipe 9 and the lower outlet pipe 10 are also connected to the same header pipe to which the inlet pipe 8 is connected. For this reason, design and enforcement of refrigerant piping are easy.

本発明の第5実施形態に係るサイドフロー方式のパラレルフロー型熱交換器の構造を図6に示す。第5実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Eは、第4実施形態のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1Dを上下2段に積み上げたような構成が特徴になっている。   FIG. 6 shows the structure of a side flow type parallel flow heat exchanger according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The parallel flow heat exchanger 1E according to the fifth embodiment is characterized by a configuration in which the parallel flow heat exchanger 1D according to the fourth embodiment is stacked in two upper and lower stages.

パラレルフロー型熱交換器1Eのヘッダパイプ2、3は、第1実施形態から第4実施形態までのヘッダパイプ2、3に比べて長い。偏平チューブ4の総数も34本と、第1から第4までの実施形態に比べて多くなっている。   The header pipes 2 and 3 of the parallel flow heat exchanger 1E are longer than the header pipes 2 and 3 from the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment. The total number of the flat tubes 4 is 34, which is larger than the first to fourth embodiments.

ヘッダパイプ2の内部空間は中間仕切板MP1で上下に区分され、ヘッダパイプ3の内部空間は中間仕切板MP2で上下に区分される。中間仕切板MP1、MP2は同じ高さにあり、パラレルフロー型熱交換器1Eは中間仕切板MP1、MP2で上下に区分される。その上下の区分のそれぞれに、入口パイプ、上位出口パイプ、及び下位出口パイプの取り合わせが配置される。   The internal space of the header pipe 2 is divided vertically by the intermediate partition plate MP1, and the internal space of the header pipe 3 is divided vertically by the intermediate partition plate MP2. The intermediate partition plates MP1 and MP2 are at the same height, and the parallel flow heat exchanger 1E is divided vertically by the intermediate partition plates MP1 and MP2. In each of the upper and lower sections, an arrangement of inlet pipe, upper outlet pipe and lower outlet pipe is arranged.

ヘッダパイプ2の内部で、中間仕切板MP1より上の区分は、1枚の仕切板P1Hにより2個の区画S1H、S2Hに仕切られている。区画S1Hは合計34本の偏平チューブ4のうち9本を受け持ち、区画S2Hは8本を受け持つ。   Within the header pipe 2, the section above the intermediate partition plate MP1 is partitioned into two partitions S1H and S2H by a single partition plate P1H. The section S1H is responsible for nine of the 34 flat tubes 4, and the section S2H is responsible for eight.

ヘッダパイプ2の内部で、中間仕切板MP1より下の区分は、1枚の仕切板P1Lにより2個の区画S1L、S2Lに仕切られている。区画S1Lは合計34本の偏平チューブ4のうち9本を受け持ち、区画S2Lは8本を受け持つ。   Inside the header pipe 2, the section below the intermediate partition plate MP1 is partitioned into two partitions S1L and S2L by one partition plate P1L. The section S1L is responsible for nine of the 34 flat tubes 4, and the section S2L is responsible for eight.

ヘッダパイプ3の内部で、中間仕切板MP2より上の区分は、2枚の仕切板P2H、P3Hにより3個の区画S3H、S4H、S5Hに仕切られている。区画S3Hは合計34本の偏平チューブ4のうち5本を受け持ち、区画S4Hは6本を受け持ち、区画S5Hは6本を受け持つ。   Inside the header pipe 3, the section above the intermediate partition plate MP2 is partitioned into three partitions S3H, S4H, and S5H by two partition plates P2H and P3H. The section S3H is responsible for five of the total 34 flat tubes 4, the section S4H is responsible for six, and the section S5H is responsible for six.

ヘッダパイプ3の内部で、中間仕切板MP2より下の区分は、2枚の仕切板P2L、P3Lにより3個の区画S3L、S4L、S5Lに仕切られている。区画S3Lは合計34本の偏平チューブ4のうち5本を受け持ち、区画S4Lは6本を受け持ち、区画S5Lは6本を受け持つ。   Inside the header pipe 3, the section below the intermediate partition plate MP2 is partitioned into three partitions S3L, S4L, and S5L by two partition plates P2L and P3L. The section S3L is responsible for five of the total 34 flat tubes 4, the section S4L is responsible for six, and the section S5L is responsible for six.

区画S4Hには入口パイプ8Hが接続される。区画S3Hには上位出口パイプ9Hが接続され、区画S5Hには下位出口パイプ10Hが接続される。入口パイプ8Hは、区画S4Hの上下方向中央の位置ではなく、区画S4Hの上寄りの位置に配置されている。   An inlet pipe 8H is connected to the section S4H. An upper outlet pipe 9H is connected to the section S3H, and a lower outlet pipe 10H is connected to the section S5H. The inlet pipe 8H is not positioned at the center in the vertical direction of the section S4H, but is disposed at a position above the section S4H.

区画S4Lには入口パイプ8Lが接続される。区画S3Lには上位出口パイプ9Lが接続され、区画S5Lには下位出口パイプ10Lが接続される。入口パイプ8Lは、区画S4Lの上下方向中央の位置ではなく、区画S4Lの上寄りの位置に配置されている。   An inlet pipe 8L is connected to the section S4L. The upper outlet pipe 9L is connected to the section S3L, and the lower outlet pipe 10L is connected to the section S5L. The inlet pipe 8L is not positioned at the center in the up-down direction of the section S4L, but is disposed at a position above the section S4L.

区画S4Hに一端が接続する6本の偏平チューブ4は、仕切板P1Hにより上の4本と下の2本に分けられている。上の4本の偏平チューブ4は区画S4Hと区画S1Hを連結し、冷媒流路A1Hを形成する。下の2本の偏平チューブ4は区画S4Hと区画S2Hを連結し、冷媒流路A2Hを形成する。   The six flat tubes 4 whose one ends are connected to the partition S4H are divided into the upper four and the lower two by the partition plate P1H. The upper four flat tubes 4 connect the section S4H and the section S1H to form a refrigerant flow path A1H. The two lower flat tubes 4 connect the section S4H and the section S2H to form a refrigerant flow path A2H.

区画S1Hと区画S3Hを連結する5本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路BHを形成する。区画S2Hと区画S5Hを連結する6本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路CHを形成する。   The five flat tubes 4 connecting the section S1H and the section S3H form a refrigerant flow path BH. The six flat tubes 4 connecting the section S2H and the section S5H form a refrigerant channel CH.

区画S4Lに一端が接続する6本の偏平チューブ4は、仕切板P1Lにより上の4本と下の2本に分けられている。上の4本の偏平チューブ4は区画S4Lと区画S1Lを連結し、冷媒流路A1Lを形成する。下の2本の偏平チューブ4は区画S4Lと区画S2Lを連結し、冷媒流路A2Lを形成する。   The six flat tubes 4 whose one ends are connected to the partition S4L are divided into the upper four and the lower two by the partition plate P1L. The upper four flat tubes 4 connect the section S4L and the section S1L to form a refrigerant flow path A1L. The lower two flat tubes 4 connect the section S4L and the section S2L to form a refrigerant flow path A2L.

区画S1Lと区画S3Lを連結する5本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路BLを形成する。区画S2Lと区画S5Lを連結する6本の偏平チューブ4は冷媒流路CLを形成する。   The five flat tubes 4 connecting the section S1L and the section S3L form a refrigerant flow path BL. The six flat tubes 4 connecting the section S2L and the section S5L form a refrigerant flow path CL.

パラレルフロー型熱交換器1Eの機能は次の通りである。入口パイプ8Hを通じて区画S4Hに冷媒を供給すると、冷媒は冷媒流路A1H、A2Hを通って区画S1H、S2Hに向かう。区画S1Hに入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路BHを通って区画S3Hに向かう。区画S3Hに入った冷媒は上位出口パイプ9Hより流出する。区画S2Hに入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路CHを通って区画S5Hに向かう。区画S5Hに入った冷媒は下位出口パイプ10Hより流出する。   The function of the parallel flow type heat exchanger 1E is as follows. When the refrigerant is supplied to the section S4H through the inlet pipe 8H, the refrigerant goes to the sections S1H and S2H through the refrigerant flow paths A1H and A2H. The refrigerant that has entered the section S1H is turned back there and travels to the section S3H through the refrigerant flow path BH. The refrigerant that has entered the section S3H flows out from the upper outlet pipe 9H. The refrigerant that has entered the section S2H is turned back there and travels to the section S5H through the refrigerant channel CH. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S5H flows out from the lower outlet pipe 10H.

冷媒流路A1Hの方が冷媒流路A2Hよりも偏平チューブ4の本数が多く、その上入口パイプ8Hが区画S4Hの上寄りの位置に接続されているため、区画S4Hに流入した冷媒は冷媒流路A1Hに入りやすい。このため、本来は下の冷媒流路の方に冷媒が流れやすいにもかかわらず、特に蒸発器として用いられる場合に液体の冷媒が下に流れやすいにもかかわらず、上下の冷媒流路に冷媒をバランス良く流すことができ、熱交換効率が向上する。   The refrigerant flow path A1H has more flat tubes 4 than the refrigerant flow path A2H, and the upper inlet pipe 8H is connected to the upper position of the section S4H, so that the refrigerant flowing into the section S4H flows into the refrigerant flow. Easy to enter road A1H. For this reason, although the refrigerant tends to flow toward the lower refrigerant flow path originally, especially when used as an evaporator, the liquid refrigerant tends to flow downward, but the refrigerant flows into the upper and lower refrigerant flow paths. In a well-balanced manner, improving the heat exchange efficiency.

入口パイプ8Hから上位出口パイプ9Hに至る冷媒流路(A1H、BH)に含まれる偏平チューブ4の数と、入口パイプ8Hから下位出口パイプ10Hに至る冷媒流路(A2H、CH)に含まれる偏平チューブ4の数は、前者が9本、後者が8本となる。これにより、入口パイプ8Hから上位出口パイプ9Hに至る冷媒通路の放熱面積が増え、熱交換量が増大する。   The number of flat tubes 4 included in the refrigerant flow path (A1H, BH) from the inlet pipe 8H to the upper outlet pipe 9H, and the flatness included in the refrigerant flow path (A2H, CH) from the inlet pipe 8H to the lower outlet pipe 10H. The number of tubes 4 is 9 for the former and 8 for the latter. Thereby, the heat radiation area of the refrigerant passage from the inlet pipe 8H to the upper outlet pipe 9H increases, and the heat exchange amount increases.

入口パイプ8Lを通じて区画S4Lに冷媒を供給すると、冷媒は冷媒流路A1L、A2Lを通って区画S1L、S2Lに向かう。区画S1Lに入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路BLを通って区画S3Lに向かう。区画S3Lに入った冷媒は上位出口パイプ9Lより流出する。区画S2Lに入った冷媒はそこで折り返し、冷媒流路CLを通って区画S5Lに向かう。区画S5Lに入った冷媒は下位出口パイプ10Lより流出する。   When the refrigerant is supplied to the section S4L through the inlet pipe 8L, the refrigerant goes to the sections S1L and S2L through the refrigerant flow paths A1L and A2L. The refrigerant that has entered the section S1L is turned back there, and passes through the refrigerant flow path BL toward the section S3L. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S3L flows out of the upper outlet pipe 9L. The refrigerant that has entered the section S2L turns back there, and travels to the section S5L through the refrigerant flow path CL. The refrigerant that has entered the compartment S5L flows out of the lower outlet pipe 10L.

冷媒流路A1Lの方が冷媒流路A2Lよりも偏平チューブ4の本数が多く、その上入口パイプ8Lが区画S4Lの上寄りの位置に接続されているため、区画S4Lに流入した冷媒は冷媒流路A1Lに入りやすい。このため、本来は下の冷媒流路の方に冷媒が流れやすいにもかかわらず、特に蒸発器として用いられる場合に液体の冷媒が下に流れやすいにもかかわらず、上下の冷媒流路に冷媒をバランス良く流すことができ、熱交換効率が向上する。   The refrigerant flow path A1L has more flat tubes 4 than the refrigerant flow path A2L, and the upper inlet pipe 8L is connected to the upper position of the section S4L, so that the refrigerant flowing into the section S4L flows into the refrigerant flow. Easy to enter road A1L. For this reason, although the refrigerant tends to flow toward the lower refrigerant flow path originally, especially when used as an evaporator, the liquid refrigerant tends to flow downward, but the refrigerant flows into the upper and lower refrigerant flow paths. In a well-balanced manner, improving the heat exchange efficiency.

入口パイプ8Lから上位出口パイプ9Lに至る冷媒流路(A1L、BL)に含まれる偏平チューブ4の数と、入口パイプ8Lから下位出口パイプ10Lに至る冷媒流路(A2L、CL)に含まれる偏平チューブ4の数は、前者が9本、後者が8本となる。これにより、入口パイプ8Lから上位出口パイプ9Lに至る冷媒通路の放熱面積が増え、熱交換量が増大する。   The number of flat tubes 4 included in the refrigerant flow path (A1L, BL) from the inlet pipe 8L to the upper outlet pipe 9L and the flatness included in the refrigerant flow path (A2L, CL) from the inlet pipe 8L to the lower outlet pipe 10L. The number of tubes 4 is 9 for the former and 8 for the latter. Thereby, the heat radiation area of the refrigerant passage from the inlet pipe 8L to the upper outlet pipe 9L increases, and the heat exchange amount increases.

入口パイプ8H、8Lに接続するのは、1本の冷媒パイプ11から分かれた複数の分流パイプの1つずつである。入口パイプ8Hに接続する側を分流パイプ12Hとし、入口パイプ8Lに接続する側を分流パイプ12Lとする。   The inlet pipes 8 </ b> H and 8 </ b> L are connected to each of a plurality of branch pipes separated from the single refrigerant pipe 11. The side connected to the inlet pipe 8H is a branch pipe 12H, and the side connected to the inlet pipe 8L is a branch pipe 12L.

第5実施形態で使用している分流器は2本の分流パイプを備えるタイプのものであるが、入口パイプの数が2を超えた場合は、その数に見合う数の分流パイプを有する分流器を使用すればよい。あるいは、複数の分流器を組み合わせて入口パイプの数の増大に対応すればよい。   The shunt used in the fifth embodiment is of a type having two shunt pipes. If the number of inlet pipes exceeds 2, the shunt has a number of shunt pipes corresponding to that number. Can be used. Or what is necessary is just to respond | correspond to the increase in the number of inlet pipes combining several diverters.

図7に示す通り、冷媒パイプ11は、分流器13で分流パイプ12Hと分流パイプ12Lに分岐する。分流パイプ12H、12Lは、分流器13に横並び状態で接続され、接続箇所では互いに平行になっている。このように平行になった分流パイプ12H、12Lの中心線同士の中央に、これらの中心線と平行な線を1本引き、その線に自己の中心線を一致させる形で、冷媒パイプ11が配置される。   As shown in FIG. 7, the refrigerant pipe 11 is branched by a flow divider 13 into a branch pipe 12H and a branch pipe 12L. The diversion pipes 12H and 12L are connected to the diversion device 13 in a side-by-side state, and are parallel to each other at the connection location. The refrigerant pipe 11 is formed in such a manner that one line parallel to these center lines is drawn at the center between the center lines of the branch pipes 12H and 12L that are parallel to each other, and the center line is aligned with the line. Be placed.

冷媒パイプ11は分岐箇所、すなわち分流器13の直近上流で偏平化され、その箇所が偏平部11aとなっている。冷媒パイプ11は、横並びとなった2本の分流パイプ12H、12Lの横並び方向において偏平化されている。   The refrigerant pipe 11 is flattened at a branch point, that is, immediately upstream of the flow divider 13, and the point is a flat part 11 a. The refrigerant pipe 11 is flattened in the side-by-side direction of the two branch pipes 12H and 12L arranged side by side.

冷媒パイプ11から分流パイプ12H、12Lに向けて冷媒を送り込むとき、冷媒パイプ11を通ってきた冷媒は偏平部11aで流速が増加し、分流器13の内部の分流壁13aの先端に勢いよく当たる。このように流速を増加させることにより、冷媒は均等に分流しやすくなる。また、分流器13の内部で分流壁13aに当てて冷媒を分流することにより、分流が安定する。   When the refrigerant is sent from the refrigerant pipe 11 toward the diversion pipes 12H and 12L, the flow rate of the refrigerant that has passed through the refrigerant pipe 11 increases at the flat portion 11a, and strikes the tip of the diversion wall 13a inside the diversion device 13 with force. . By increasing the flow velocity in this way, the refrigerant can be easily divided equally. Further, the flow is stabilized by dividing the refrigerant against the flow dividing wall 13a inside the flow divider 13.

冷媒パイプ11に偏平部11aを形成するにあたり、分流パイプ12H、12Lの横並び方向において偏平化したことにより、冷媒は広がらないで分流壁13aに当たることになり、より均等に分流しやすくなる。   When the flat portion 11a is formed in the refrigerant pipe 11, the flattening in the direction in which the flow dividing pipes 12H and 12L are arranged side by side makes the refrigerant hit the flow dividing wall 13a without spreading and facilitates the flow dividing more evenly.

The heat pump cycle 101 includes a compressor 102, a four-way valve 103, an outdoor heat exchanger 104, a decompression / expansion device 105, and an indoor heat exchanger 106 connected in a loop. The compressor 102, the four-way valve 103, the heat exchanger 104, and the decompression / expansion device 105 are accommodated in the casing of the outdoor unit, and the heat exchanger 106 is accommodated in the casing of the indoor unit. An outdoor fan 107 is combined with the heat exchanger 104, and an indoor fan 108 is combined with the heat exchanger 106. The blower 107 includes a propeller fan, and the blower 108 includes a cross flow fan.

本発明に係るサイドフロー方式のパラレルフロー型熱交換器1A、1B、1C、1D、1Eは、室内機の熱交換器106の構成要素として用いることができる。熱交換器106は、3個の熱交換器106A、106B、106Cを送風機108を覆う屋根のように組み合わせたものであり、熱交換器106A、106B、106Cのいずれかをパラレルフロー型熱交換器1A、1B、1C、1D、1Eとすることができる。   The side flow parallel flow heat exchangers 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, and 1E according to the present invention can be used as components of the heat exchanger 106 of the indoor unit. The heat exchanger 106 is a combination of three heat exchangers 106A, 106B, 106C like a roof that covers the blower 108, and any one of the heat exchangers 106A, 106B, 106C is a parallel flow heat exchanger. 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E.

図8は暖房運転時の状態を示す。この時は、圧縮機102から吐出された高温高圧の冷媒は室内側の熱交換器106に入ってそこで放熱し、凝縮する。熱交換器106を出た冷媒は減圧膨張装置105から室外側の熱交換器104に入ってそこで膨張し、室外空気から熱を取り込んだ後、圧縮機102に戻る。室内側の送風機108によって生成された気流が熱交換器106からの放熱を促進し、室外側の送風機107によって生成された気流が熱交換器104の吸熱を促進する。   FIG. 8 shows a state during heating operation. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 102 enters the indoor heat exchanger 106 where it dissipates heat and condenses. The refrigerant exiting the heat exchanger 106 enters the outdoor heat exchanger 104 from the decompression / expansion device 105 and expands there, takes heat from the outdoor air, and returns to the compressor 102. The airflow generated by the indoor fan 108 promotes heat dissipation from the heat exchanger 106, and the airflow generated by the outdoor fan 107 accelerates heat absorption of the heat exchanger 104.

図9は冷房運転時あるいは除霜運転時の状態を示す。この時は四方弁103が切り換えられて暖房運転時と冷媒の流れが逆になる。すなわち、圧縮機102から吐出された高温高圧の冷媒は室外側の熱交換器104に入ってそこで放熱し、凝縮する。熱交換器104を出た冷媒は減圧膨張装置105から室内側の熱交換器106に入ってそこで膨張し、室内空気から熱を取り込んだ後、圧縮機102に戻る。室外側の送風機107によって生成された気流が熱交換器104からの放熱を促進し、室内側の送風機108によって生成された気流が熱交換器106の吸熱を促進する。   FIG. 9 shows a state during cooling operation or defrosting operation. At this time, the four-way valve 103 is switched so that the refrigerant flow is reversed from that during the heating operation. That is, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 102 enters the outdoor heat exchanger 104, where it dissipates heat and condenses. The refrigerant exiting the heat exchanger 104 enters the heat exchanger 106 on the indoor side from the decompression / expansion device 105 and expands there, takes heat from indoor air, and returns to the compressor 102. The airflow generated by the outdoor fan 107 promotes heat dissipation from the heat exchanger 104, and the airflow generated by the indoor fan 108 promotes heat absorption of the heat exchanger 106.
