Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air conditioner in which an outdoor unit and a plurality of indoor units are connected.
- the refrigerating machine oil in the refrigerant circuit is compressed.
- the present invention relates to an air conditioner that performs an oil recovery operation.
- an air conditioner installed in a building such as a building having a plurality of rooms
- An apparatus is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- a part of the refrigeration oil stored in the compressor flows out of the compressor together with the refrigerant to circulate the refrigerant circuit to lubricate the compression mechanism and bearings inside the compressor. To do.
- the refrigerating machine oil flows in the circuit together with the refrigerant.
- a part of the refrigerating machine oil is a heat exchanger tube of the heat exchanger. It adheres to the inner surface of the pipe and the inner surface of the refrigerant pipe.
- this type of air conditioner performs an oil recovery operation in which refrigeration oil that remains in the refrigerant circuit and does not return to the compressor is forcibly returned to the compressor.
- the flow rate of the gas refrigerant is increased so that the refrigeration oil is involved in the flow of the refrigerant, and the refrigeration oil is sucked into the compressor together with the refrigerant.
- Oil recovery operation is performed every time set by the timer. Also, of the connecting pipes connecting the outdoor unit and the indoor unit, the part connected to the outdoor unit is the main pipe, and the part branched from the main pipe and connected to each indoor unit is the branch pipe. When the refrigerant flow rate is insufficient, it is determined that the refrigeration oil does not return to the compressor, the amount (oil rise amount) is calculated, and the sum of the calculated values is greater than a certain amount. Recovery operation is being performed.

- Energy saving is performed by controlling the capacity and the air volume of the indoor fan. That is, in the air conditioner of Patent Document 1, the refrigeration cycle is changed at the target evaporation temperature and the target condensation temperature while changing the target evaporation temperature and the target condensation temperature every predetermined time according to the required capacity of the indoor unit during the energy saving operation.
- the operating capacity of the compressor is controlled to operate.
- the flow rate of the refrigerant in some branch pipes is the flow rate required for oil recovery.
- the integrated value is calculated without considering the refrigerating machine oil flowing into the branch pipe. As a result, the calculated integrated value is smaller than the amount of refrigeration oil that actually flows out of the compressor, so the compressor is operated with a small amount of refrigeration oil stored, resulting in poor lubrication of the compressor. It becomes easy.
- the flow rate of the refrigerant in the main pipe is not the energy-saving operation that is performed while changing the target evaporation temperature or the target condensation temperature, but the normal operation that is performed with the target evaporation temperature or the target condensation temperature fixed. Only when the flow rate required for oil recovery is not met, the amount (oil climbing amount) was calculated and integrated, so even if the refrigerant flow rate in the main pipe satisfies the flow rate required for oil recovery, the branch pipe If the flow rate of the oil is not satisfied, the amount of oil going up in the branch pipe is not taken into account, and the calculated amount of refrigerating machine oil is less than the amount actually flowing out of the compressor, and the compressor is operated with insufficient oil.

And oil recovery operation is started.

- the reference value storage unit (83) stores a set value of the evaporation temperature as a reference value of the branch pipe flow velocity lower limit value
- the oil retention amount calculation unit (82) stores the current value of the evaporation temperature.
- the integrated value is calculated from the oil retention amount in the gas side branch pipe (72b) where the (current value of the refrigerant state value in the second to fourth aspects) is higher than the set value (reference value).
- the current value of the evaporation temperature target value may be used as the “current value of the evaporation temperature” to be compared whether it is higher than the set value, but the actual current value of the evaporation temperature can also be used. .
- the current value of the evaporation temperature which is one of the refrigerant state values, and the evaporation temperature stored as the reference value are set.

Therefore, the refrigeration oil stays in the gas side branch pipe (72b) where the current condensing temperature is lower than the set value. The amount is calculated, and the integrated value is obtained from the value of the staying amount. Then, when the integrated value exceeds the set amount, the oil recovery operation is started.

- the flow rate of the gas refrigerant is lower than the lower limit value of the branch pipe flow rate from the state value such as the temperature of the refrigerant without providing the refrigerant flow rate sensor. Can be easily determined whether it is too late, which also contributes to cost reduction.
- the current value of the refrigerant state value for each gas-side branch pipe (72b) is stored in the reference value storage unit (83), and the reference value according to the air flow level Since it is determined whether or not the flow rate of the refrigerant is slower than the lower limit value of the branch pipe flow rate, it is possible to more accurately determine whether or not the flow rate of the gas refrigerant is lower than the lower limit value of the branch pipe flow rate. .
- the refrigerant state value includes, for example, temperature and pressure. If the refrigerant state value is the evaporation temperature or the condensation temperature, the flow rate of the oil return is the same if the capacity of the indoor unit (40) is the same.
- the evaporating temperature determined from the lower limit value increases as the air flow level increases, and the condensation temperature decreases as the air flow level increases. This is because the accuracy of the determination is higher than when an average reference value is set for each indoor unit (40) and compared with the current value.

連絡配管(71,72)は、空気調和装置(10)をビル等の設置場所に設置する際に、現地にて施工される冷媒管であり、設置場所や、室外ユニットと室内ユニットとの組み合わせ等の設置条件に応じて種々の長さや配管径を有するものが使用される。そして、例えば、新規に空気調和装置を設置する場合には、空気調和装置(10)には、連絡配管(71,72)の長さや管径等の設置条件に応じた適正な量の冷媒を充填する必要がある。
次に、本実施形態の空気調和装置(10)の運転動作について説明する。
まず、冷房運転について、図1を用いて説明する。
次に、暖房運転について、図1を用いて説明する。
冷房運転時の油回収運転は以下のようにして行われる。
A=油回収下限流速サーモオン室内ユニット合計容量/サーモオン室内ユニット合計容量
で求められる。ガス側主配管(72a)で流速不足が生じている場合は、すべての室内ユニットで流速不足になっているので、A=1となる。
A=(Q1+Q2)/(Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4)
となる。また、積算を20秒ごとに行うとすると、ΔT=20であるので、これらの数値から油の滞留量を求めて積算値を算出する。このように、本実施形態では、各ガス側分岐配管(72b)について蒸発温度目標値の現在値(冷媒状態値の現在値)と基準値を比較して油の滞留量を求め、そこから積算値を求めるようにしている。
本実施形態によれば、ガス側主配管(72a)におけるガス冷媒の流速が上記主管流速下限値よりも速くても、上記ガス側分岐配管(72b)におけるガス冷媒の流速が予め設定された分岐管流速下限値よりも速いガス側分岐配管(72b)と遅いガス側分岐配管(72b)がある場合は、該分岐管流速下限値よりも流速が遅いガス側分岐配管(72b)の冷凍機油の滞留量を求めて上記積算値を算出するようにしているので、ほぼ正確な油滞留量の積算値を算出することが可能になる。したがって、算出した油滞留量が実際の油滞留量よりも少なくなるのを防止できるから、適切なタイミングで油回収運転を開始することが可能になり、その結果、冷凍機油の貯留量が少ない状態で圧縮機(21)を運転するのを防止でき、圧縮機(21)の潤滑不良が生じるのを抑えられる。
上記実施形態については、以下のような構成としてもよい。
