Abstract

A refrigeration cycle device (100) in which a flammable refrigerant circulates comprises a bypass pipeline (5) connected such that part of the refrigerant flowing through a circulation pipeline from a condenser (2) to a flow control valve (3) bypasses the flow control valve (3) and an evaporator (4), a bypass flow control valve (6) for controlling the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the bypass pipeline (5), a heat exchanger (7) for allowing the refrigerant flowing through the bypass pipe line (5) after flowing out from the bypass flow control valve (6) and the refrigerant flowingthrough the circulation pipeline after flowing out from the condenser (2) to exchange heat with each other, and a supercooling degree sensor (T73) for detecting the supercooling degree of the refrigerant at an inlet of the flow control valve (3). At least either the flow control valve (3) or the bypass flow control valve (6) is so controlled that the supercooling degree of the refrigerant at the inlet of the flow control valve (3) is equal to or more than a predetermined value.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerating cycle device, and more particularly to a refrigerating cycle device using a refrigerant with a low global warming coefficient. Background technique

[0002] Conventional refrigerating cycle devices use refrigerant piping to connect a compressor that compresses a medium-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant (hereinafter, referred to as "medium-temperature and low-pressure" for convenience of explanation) to a compressed refrigerant (hereinafter, referred to as "medium-temperature and low-pressure"). "High-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant") condenses condenser, expansion valve that expands condensed refrigerant (hereinafter, referred to as "medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant"), expands refrigerant (hereinafter, referred to as "low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant") The evaporators for evaporating the agent") are connected in sequence (hereinafter, this structure is referre...
