Abstract
Description
[室内機100]
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和機の室内機100の下面図である。図2は、図1の室内機100のA-A線断面図である。図1を含む以下の図面に示すX軸は、室内機100の左右の幅方向を示し、Y軸は室内機100の前後方向を示し、Z軸は室内機100の上下方向を示すものである。より詳細には、X軸においてX1側を左側、X2側を右側、Y軸においてY1側を前側、Y2側を後側、Z軸においてZ1側を上側、Z2側を下側として室内機100を説明する。また、明細書中における各構成部材同士の位置関係(例えば、上下関係等)は、原則として、室内機100を使用可能な状態に設置したときのものである。本実施の形態では、室内の天井に埋め込むことができる天井埋め込み型で、四方向に吹出口13cを形成している四方向カセット型の室内機100について説明する。室内機100は、冷媒配管により室外機と接続し、冷媒を循環して冷凍、空気調和などを行う冷媒回路を構成する。なお、この室内機100の室内熱交換器30に使用される冷媒は、空気よりも密度の大きい冷媒が用いられる。ただし、室内機100の室内熱交換器30に使用される冷媒は、空気よりも密度の大きい冷媒に限定されるものではなく、空気と同じ、あるいは、空気よりも密度の小さい冷媒を用いてもよい。
図9は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る空気調和機の室内機100に設置されるセンサホルダー60の分解斜視図である。図10は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る空気調和機の室内機100に設置されるセンサホルダー60の他の方向から見た分解斜視図である。図1~図8の室内機100と同一の構成を有する部位には同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。図9及び図10を用いて、実施の形態2の室内機100について説明する。上述したように、センサホルダー60内には、冷媒検知センサ50と温度センサ70とが併設されている。冷媒検知センサ50と温度センサ70とは、1つのセンサホルダー60内で区切られている。ここで、冷媒検知センサ50は、例えば、感ガス体に電圧を印加し化学反応を促進させているが、感ガス体の温度は、300℃~400℃の温度に達する。そのため、実施の形態2の室内機100は、室内から吸い込む空気の温度を検出する温度センサ70の検出温度に影響がでないように、センサホルダー60内において、冷媒検知センサ50と温度センサ70との間に仕切部63が設けられている。そして、センサホルダー60は、第一収容部61の空間と、第二収容部62の空間とが、仕切部63によって遮断されている。仕切部63は、冷媒検知センサ50が配置された空間と、温度センサ70が配置された空間とを区画する板部63aと板部63bとの2枚の板から構成されている。仕切部63を構成する板部63aと板部63bは、互いに対向するように配置され、互いの板の間には空間が形成されている。なお、仕切部63は、板部63aと板部63bとの間に空間が形成されている構成ではなく、板部63aと板部63bとが一体となった一枚の板で形成されてもよい。
[空気調和機200]
図11は、本発明の実施の形態3に係る空気調和機200の構成を示す模式図である。なお、実施の形態3に係る空気調和機200に用いられる室内機100は、実施の形態1及び実施の形態2の図1~図10に示す室内機100と同一である。実施の形態3に係る空気調和機200は、冷媒を介して外気と室内の空気との間で熱を移動させることにより、室内を暖房又は冷房して空気調和を行う。実施の形態3に係る空気調和機200は、室外機150と、室内機100とを有する。空気調和機200は、室外機150と室内機100とが冷媒配管300及び冷媒配管400により配管接続されて、冷媒が循環する冷媒回路が構成されている。冷媒配管300は、気相の冷媒が流れるガス配管であり、冷媒配管400は、液相の冷媒が流れる液配管である。なお、冷媒配管400には、気液二相の冷媒を流してもよい。そして、空気調和機200の冷媒回路では、圧縮機31、流路切替装置32、室外熱交換器33、膨張弁34、室内熱交換器30が冷媒配管を介して順次接続されている。なお、この空気調和機200に使用される冷媒は、空気よりも密度の大きい冷媒が用いられる。ただし、空気調和機200に使用される冷媒は、空気よりも密度の大きい冷媒に限定されるものではなく、空気と同じ、あるいは、空気よりも密度の小さい冷媒を用いてもよい。
室外機150は、圧縮機31、流路切替装置32、室外熱交換器33、及び膨張弁34を有している。圧縮機31は、吸入した冷媒を圧縮して吐出する。ここで、圧縮機31は、インバータ装置を備えていてもよく、インバータ装置によって運転周波数を変化させて、圧縮機31の容量を変更することができるように構成されてもよい。なお、圧縮機31の容量とは、単位時間当たりに送り出す冷媒の量である。流路切替装置32は、例えば四方弁であり、冷媒流路の方向の切り換えが行われる装置である。空気調和機200は、制御装置(図示せず)からの指示に基づいて、流路切替装置32を用いて冷媒の流れを切り換えることで、暖房運転又は冷房運転を実現することができる。
室内機100は、冷媒と室内空気との間で熱交換を行う室内熱交換器30及び、室内熱交換器30が熱交換を行う空気の流れを調整する室内送風機37を有する。室内熱交換器30は、暖房運転時には、凝縮器の働きをし、冷媒配管300から流入した冷媒と室内空気との間で熱交換を行い、冷媒を凝縮させて液化させ、冷媒配管400側に流出させる。室内熱交換器30は、冷房運転時には蒸発器の働きをし、膨張弁34によって低圧状態にされた冷媒と室内空気との間で熱交換を行い、冷媒に空気の熱を奪わせて蒸発させて気化させ、冷媒配管300側に流出させる。室内送風機37は、室内熱交換器30と対面するように設けられている。室内送風機37の運転速度は、ユーザの設定により決定される。室内送風機37には、インバータ装置を取り付け、ファンモータの運転周波数を変化させてファンの回転速度を変更してもよい。
次に、空気調和機200の動作例として冷房運転動作を説明する。圧縮機31によって圧縮され吐出された高温高圧のガス冷媒は、流路切替装置32を経由して、室外熱交換器33に流入する。室外熱交換器33に流入したガス冷媒は、室外送風機36により送風される外気との熱交換により凝縮し、低温の冷媒となって、室外熱交換器33から流出する。室外熱交換器33から流出した冷媒は、膨張弁34によって膨張及び減圧され、低温低圧の気液二相冷媒となる。この気液二相冷媒は、室内機100の室内熱交換器30に流入し、室内送風機37により送風される室内空気との熱交換により蒸発し、低温低圧のガス冷媒となって室内熱交換器30から流出する。このとき、冷媒に吸熱されて冷却された室内空気は、空調空気(吹出風)となって、室内機100の吹出口13cから室内(空調対象空間)に吹き出される。室内熱交換器30から流出したガス冷媒は、流路切替装置32を経由して圧縮機31に吸入され、再び圧縮される。以上の動作が繰り返される。
