Description
特許文献1には、室内機と給湯熱源用回路とを並列に接続するとともに、室内機と熱源機とが、分岐ユニットを介して少なくとも2本の接続配管で接続される空調給湯複合システムについて記載されている。
特許文献1に記載の技術では、冷房運転及び暖房運転のいずれの場合においても、冷媒-冷媒熱交換器(中間熱交換器)の一次側(空調用熱交換器側)を凝縮器として機能させ、二次側(給湯用熱交換器側)を蒸発器として機能させる。これによって、空調熱源と給湯熱源の排熱を相互に利用するようになっている。
一方、給湯ユニットは、通常、室外又は屋内の非空調空間に設置されている。したがって、給湯サイクルの構成要素である冷媒-冷媒熱交換器は、給湯ユニットの周囲温度である室外温度程度になっている。
そうすると、暖房運転を行う際に、冷媒-冷媒熱交換器において高温の冷媒から低温の室外空気に熱が放出されてしまう。
図1は、本発明の第1実施形態に係る空調給湯システムの系統図である。図1に示すように、空調給湯システムSは、室外機1と、室内機2a,2bと、給湯ユニット3と、給湯タンクユニット4と、制御装置50と、を備えている。

室内熱交換器18a,18b(空調利用側熱交換器)は、四方弁12を介して空調用圧縮機11の吐出側に接続され、室内ファン18fから送られてくる空気(室内空気)と第一冷媒との熱交換を行う熱交換器である。
給湯ユニット3に設けられた給湯用冷媒回路30は、給湯用圧縮機31と、給湯用熱交換器32の一次側伝熱管32aと、給湯用膨張弁33と、中間熱交換器21の二次側伝熱管21bとが環状に配管で接続されている。
給湯用熱交換器32は、一次側伝熱管32aを通流する第二冷媒と、二次側伝熱管32bを通流する被加熱液体との熱交換を行う熱交換器である。
給湯用膨張弁33は、第二冷媒を減圧する減圧装置として機能する。
第二冷媒として、HFC、HFO-1234yf、HFO-1234ze、自然冷媒(例えば、CO2冷媒)などを用いることができる。なお、第二冷媒は第一冷媒よりも高い臨界点(温度、圧力)を有する冷媒を使用することが好ましい。
給湯回路40は、給湯用ポンプ41と、給湯用熱交換器32の二次側伝熱管32bと、タンク42と、を環状に配管で接続して構成されている。
給湯用ポンプ41は、タンク42から被加熱液体を汲み上げ、給湯用熱交換器32の二次側伝熱管32bに向けて圧送するポンプである。
タンク42は、被加熱液体を貯留するものであり、断熱材(図示せず)で覆われている。前記したように、被加熱液体として、例えば水を用いることができる。
給水金具43は、一端が三方弁44に接続され、他端が給水端末(図示せず)に接続されている。そして、使用者が給湯端末(図示せず)を開操作した場合に、給水源からの圧力によって、給水金具43を介してタンク42の下部に被加熱液体(水)が流入するようになっている。
給湯金具45は、一端が三方弁46に接続され、他端が給湯端末(図示せず)に接続されている。そして、使用者が給湯端末を開操作することにより、温度調整がされた被加熱液体(湯)が給湯金具45を介して給湯端末に供給されるようになっている。
また、空調給湯システムSは、制御装置50を備えている。
制御装置50は、空調給湯システムの運転モードを決定し、決定した運転モードに従って各種弁(四方弁12、室外用膨張弁14、内部熱交換器用膨張弁16、室内用膨張弁17、給湯用膨張弁33)の状態(開度)、圧縮機(空調用圧縮機11、給湯用圧縮機31)の回転速度、各熱交換器のファン(室外ファン13f、室内ファン18f)の回転速度、及び給湯用ポンプ41の回転速度を制御して、空調給湯システムSの各種運転を制御する機能を有している。
次に、制御装置50が実行する空調給湯システムSの各運転モードについて説明する。
なお、以下に説明する各系統図において、第一冷媒、第二冷媒、被加熱液体のそれぞれが通流している配管を太線で図示し、流れる向きを矢印で図示することとする。また、各種弁(室外用膨張弁14、内部熱交換器用膨張弁16、室内用膨張弁17、給湯用膨張弁33)について、通流を閉止しているものを黒塗りで図示するものとする。
図2は、給湯運転モードにおける冷媒及び被加熱液体の流れを示す系統図である。このモードにおいて、室内ファン18fは停止している。
制御装置50は、四方弁12の切替手段(図示せず)が給湯運転の位置となるように制御する。すなわち、制御装置50は、空調用圧縮機11の吐出側と室内熱交換器18とが接続され、アキュムレータ19と室外熱交換器13とが接続されるように、四方弁12の切替手段(図示せず)を制御する。また、制御装置50は、内部熱交換器用膨張弁16を全閉とし、室内用膨張弁17を全開とし、室外用膨張弁14の開度(絞り)を制御する。さらに、制御装置50は、空調用圧縮機11及び給湯用圧縮機31、及び室外ファン13fの回転速度を制御する。
空調用圧縮機11から吐出された高温高圧の第一冷媒は、四方弁12、室内熱交換器18、室内用膨張弁17、及び内部熱交換器15の一次側伝熱管15aを通過し、凝縮器として機能する中間熱交換器21の一次側伝熱管21aに流入する。ちなみに、給湯運転モードでは室内ファン18fを停止させているため、室内熱交換器18を通流する第一冷媒と室内空気との熱交換はほとんど行われない。
中間熱交換器21の一次側伝熱管21aを通流する高温高圧の第一冷媒は、中間熱交換器21の二次側伝熱管21bを通流する第二冷媒と熱交換することにより放熱して、中温高圧の第一冷媒となる。
給湯用圧縮機31から吐出された高温高圧の第二冷媒は、凝縮器として機能する給湯用熱交換器32の一次側伝熱管32aに流入する。給湯用熱交換器32の一次側伝熱管32aを通流する第二冷媒は、二次側伝熱管32bを通流する被加熱液体と熱交換することにより放熱して、中温高圧の第二冷媒となる。
給湯用熱交換器32の一次側伝熱管32aから流出した中温高圧の第二冷媒は、給湯用膨張弁33で減圧され、低温低圧の第二冷媒となる。
給湯用ポンプ41を駆動することにより、タンク42の下部から流出した被加熱液体は、給湯用熱交換器32の二次側伝熱管32bに流入する。給湯用熱交換器32の二次側伝熱管32bを通流する被加熱液体は、一次側伝熱管32aを通流する第二冷媒と熱交換することにより吸熱し、高温の被加熱液体となる。そして、給湯用熱交換器32の二次側伝熱管32bから流出した高温の被加熱液体は、給湯用ポンプ41によりタンク42の上部に圧送され、タンク42内に貯留される。
図3は、冷房運転(通常)モードにおける冷媒の流れを示す系統図である。このモードにおいて、給湯用冷媒回路30及び給湯回路40は停止している。
制御装置50は、四方弁12の切替手段(図示せず)が冷房運転の位置となるように制御する。すなわち、制御装置50は、空調用圧縮機11の吐出側と室外熱交換器13とが接続され、アキュムレータ19と室内熱交換器18とが接続されるように、四方弁12の切替手段(図示せず)を制御する。
さらに、制御装置50は、空調用圧縮機11、室内ファン18f、及び室外ファン13fの回転速度を制御する。
なお、図5に示す圧力-比エンタルピ線図において、縦軸は絶対圧力(kPa)を示し、横軸は比エンタルピ(kJ/kg)を示している。また、第一冷媒は、飽和液線及び飽和蒸気線で囲まれた部分で気液二相状態であり、飽和液線の左側で液体状態であり、飽和蒸気線の右側では気体状態となっている。なお、他の圧力-比エンタルピ線図についても同様である。
また、以下の説明において、かっこ内の符号は、図5に示すA~Fの状態に対応している。また、符号Wは、空調用圧縮機11によって与えられるエンタルピを示している。
そして、中間熱交換器21から流出した第一冷媒は、分岐点Qで配管P1と配管P2に分流する。なお、配管P2に分流する第一冷媒の量が、分岐点Qに流入する第一冷媒の量の3~5%となるように、内部熱交換器用膨張弁16の開度(絞り)が制御される。
室内熱交換器18を通流する第一冷媒は、室内ファン18fから送られてくる空気(室内空気)と熱交換することにより前記空気から吸熱し(F)、四方弁12及びアキュムレータ19を介して空調用圧縮機11に還流する(G)。
図4は、冷房運転(排熱)モードにおける冷媒及び被加熱液体の流れを示す系統図である。
制御装置50は、四方弁12の切替手段(図示せず)が冷房運転の位置となるように制御する。また、制御装置50は、室外用膨張弁14の絞りを全開とし、内部熱交換器15の二次側伝熱管15bに適切な量の第一冷媒が流通するように、内部熱交換器用膨張弁16の絞り(開度)を制御する。また、制御装置50は、室内(被空調空間)で発生する空調負荷に応じた量の第一冷媒が室内熱交換器18に通流するように室内膨張弁の開度(絞り)を制御する。さらに、制御装置50は、空調用圧縮機11、室内ファン18f、及び室外ファン13fの回転速度を制御する。
また、制御装置50は、給湯負荷に適した冷媒量が流通するように、給湯用圧縮機31の回転速度、及び給湯用膨張弁33の絞り(開度)を制御する。また、制御装置50は、給湯回路40内を流動する被加熱液体(水)の循環量を適切とするように給湯用ポンプ41の回転速度を制御する。
そして、中間熱交換器21から流出した第一冷媒は、分岐点Qで配管P1と配管P2に分流する。
室内熱交換器18を通流する第一冷媒は、室内ファン18fから送られてくる空気(室内空気)と熱交換することにより前記空気から吸熱し(F)、四方弁12及びアキュムレータ19を介して空調用圧縮機11に還流する(G)。
ちなみに、冷房運転(排熱)モードは、給湯用冷媒回路30での冷温排熱を中間熱交換器21で活用できるため、前記した冷房運転(通常)モードよりも中間熱交換器21の冷却量を増加させるができる。したがって、空調用冷媒回路10の効率をさらに改善することができる。
図6は、暖房運転(通常)モードにおける冷媒の流れを示す系統図である。このモードにおいて、給湯用冷媒回路30及び給湯回路40は停止している。
制御装置50は、四方弁12の切替手段(図示せず)が暖房運転の位置となるように制御する。すなわち、制御装置50は、空調用圧縮機11の吐出側と室内熱交換器18とが接続され、アキュムレータ19の吸入側と室外熱交換器13とが接続されるように、四方弁12の切替手段(図示せず)を制御する。
さらに、制御装置50は、空調用圧縮機11、室内ファン18f、及び室外ファン13fの回転速度を制御する。
空調用圧縮機11から吐出された高温高圧の第一冷媒(A)は、四方弁12を介して、凝縮器として機能する室内熱交換器18に流入する(B)。室内熱交換器18を通流する高温高圧の第一冷媒は、室内ファン18fにより送られてくる空気(室内空気)と熱交換することにより前記空気に放熱(排熱)し、中温高圧の第一冷媒となる(C1)。
配管P2から内部熱交換器用膨張弁16に流入した第一冷媒は、この内部熱交換器用膨張弁16で減圧されて低温低圧の第一冷媒となり、内部熱交換器15の二次側伝熱管15bに流入する。内部熱交換器15の二次側伝熱管15bを通流する第一冷媒は、一次側伝熱管15aを通流する中温高圧の第一冷媒と熱交換して吸熱して加熱され(E)、配管Lに流入する。
そして、配管Lに流入した第一冷媒は、室外熱交換器13から流入する第一冷媒と合流し、アキュムレータ19を介して空調用圧縮機11に還流する。
中間熱交換器21から流出した第一冷媒は、室外用膨張弁14で減圧されて低温低圧の第一冷媒となり(D)、蒸発器として機能する室外熱交換器13に流入する。室外熱交換器13を通流する第一冷媒は、室外ファン13fにより送られてくる空気(室外空気)と熱交換することにより前記空気から吸熱し(F)、四方弁12及びアキュムレータ19を介して空調用圧縮機11に還流する(G)。
図8は、暖房運転(排熱)モードにおける冷媒及び被加熱液体の流れを示す系統図である。
制御装置50は、四方弁12の切替手段(図示せず)が暖房運転の位置となるように制御する。また、制御装置50は、室内(被空調空間)で発生する空調負荷に応じた量の第一冷媒が空調用冷媒回路10を循環するように、室内用膨張弁17及び室外用膨張弁14の開度を制御する。また、制御装置50は、内部熱交換器用膨張弁16の絞りを全閉とする。これによって、中間熱交換器21の一次側伝熱管21aを通流する第一冷媒から、二次側伝熱管21bを通流する第二冷媒に温熱を供給でき、給湯用冷媒回路30の熱源として利用することができる。
さらに、制御装置50は、空調用圧縮機11、室内ファン18f、及び室外ファン13fの回転速度を制御する。
また、内部熱交換器用膨張弁16の開度は全閉となっているため、内部熱交換器15においては第一冷媒が熱交換されることはない。
室外熱交換器13を通流する第一冷媒は、室外ファン13fにより送られてくる空気(室外空気)と熱交換することにより前記空気から吸熱し(E)、四方弁12及びアキュムレータ19を介して空調用圧縮機11に還流する(F)。
本実施形態に係る空調給湯システムSによれば、冷房運転時において、内部熱交換器15の一次側伝熱管15aを通流する第一冷媒を、二次側伝熱管15bを通流する低温低圧の第一冷媒により冷却する。したがって、蒸発器として機能する室内熱交換器18での圧力損失を低減できるため、空調給湯システムS全体の運転効率を向上することができる。
このように、給湯側冷凍サイクルが非稼働時においても、中間熱交換器21で発生する余剰負荷を抑制し、冷房・暖房のいずれの運転においても空調給湯システムS全体の効率を向上することができる。
図11に示すように、空調用圧縮機を吐出した第一冷媒は(A)、室内熱交換器に流入する(B)。そして、第一冷媒は、室内熱交換器において室内空気と熱交換し(C1)、中間熱交換器に流入する。前記したように、通常、中間熱交換器は室外機に設置されているため、室外空気と熱的に接触している。そうすると、中間熱交換器において第一冷媒は、室外に放熱することとなる(C2)。したがって、図11に示す(C1)-(C2)での放熱分だけ、蒸発器として機能する室外熱交換器に要求される加熱量が増加する。この結果、第一冷媒の蒸発圧力がPe1からPe2に低下するとともに、空調用圧縮機の仕事量がW1からW2に低下する。したがって、空調給湯システム全体の効率が低下してしまう。
第2実施形態は、第1実施形態と比較してバイパス配管U、二方弁61,62,63(開閉手段)が設置されている点が異なるが、その他の構成は第1実施形態と同様である。したがって、当該異なる部分について説明し、重複する部分については説明を省略する。
図10に示すバイパス配管Uは、内部熱交換器15の一次側伝熱管15aと室内用膨張弁17とをつなぐ配管と、空調用圧縮機11の吐出側の配管と、を接続する配管である。バイパス配管Uの一端は、空調用圧縮機11の吐出側と二方弁61とをつなぐ配管に接続され(符号T参照)、他端は内部熱交換器15の一次側伝熱管15aと二方弁63とをつなぐ配管に接続されている(符号V参照)。
すなわち、二方弁61,62,63は、給湯運転モードにおいて、空調用圧縮機11から流出する第一冷媒を、バイパス配管Uを介して内部熱交換器15の一次側伝熱管15aに流入させるための「開閉手段」となっている。
また、制御装置50は、二方弁61,63を閉状態にするとともに、二方弁62を開状態とする。これによって、空調用圧縮機11から吐出される高温高圧の第一冷媒が室内熱交換器18に流入することを防止できる。
さらに、制御装置50は、空調用圧縮機11及び給湯用圧縮機31、及び室外ファン13fの回転速度を制御する。なお、給湯運転モードにおいて制御装置50は、室内ファン18fを停止させている。
空調用圧縮機11から吐出された高温高圧の第一冷媒は、二方弁、及び内部熱交換器15の一次側伝熱管15aを通過し、凝縮器として機能する中間熱交換器21の一次側伝熱管21aに流入する。
中間熱交換器21の一次側伝熱管21aを通流する高温高圧の第一冷媒は、中間熱交換器21の二次側伝熱管21bを通流する被加熱液体と熱交換することにより放熱して、中温高圧の第一冷媒となる。
そして、低温低圧の第一冷媒は、蒸発器として機能する室外熱交換器13に流入する。室外熱交換器13を通流する第一冷媒は、室外ファン13fにより送られてくる空気(室外空気)と熱交換することにより、前記空気から熱を汲み上げる(吸熱する)。そして、吸熱した第一冷媒は、室外熱交換器13から四方弁12及びアキュムレータ19を介して空調用圧縮機11へと還流する。
この場合の制御については第1実施形態と同様であるから、説明を省略する。
図10に示すバイパス配管U及び二方弁61,62,63を設置することによって、給湯運転時において室内熱交換器18に第一冷媒が流入しなくなる。つまり、室内熱交換器18での不要な熱交換が発生せず、中間熱交換器21において第二冷媒と、高温の第一冷媒とをさらに効率良く熱交換することができる。
以上、本発明に係る給湯空調システムについて各実施形態により説明したが、本発明の実施態様はこれらの記載に限定されるものではなく、種々の変更などを行うことができる。
例えば、前記各実施形態では、室外機1と、給湯ユニット3と、給湯タンクユニット4とを別体の構成として説明したが、これに限らない。すなわち、これらの構成をヒートポンプユニットとして一体化してもよい。
また、前記各実施形態では、室内機を2台設置する場合について説明したが、これに限らない。すなわち、室内機は1台であってもよいし、3台以上であってもよい。なお、複数台の室内機を設置する場合には、それぞれの室内機を互いに並列接続する。
また、前記第2実施形態において、空調用圧縮機11から流出する第一冷媒を、バイパス配管Uを介して内部熱交換器15の一次側伝熱管15aに流入させるための「開閉手段」として二方弁61,62,63を用いたが、これに限らない。すなわち、二方弁に代えて、前記「開閉手段」の作用を実現するための三方弁を設置してもよい。
