Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, when the temperature of the heat storage member 126 rises excessively, deterioration (such as oxidation) of the heat storage member 126 itself and boiling of moisture in the heat storage member 126 may be caused, and the heat storage member 126 may deteriorate.

Abstract

The present invention provides an air conditioner capable of preventing the heat storage member from degradation and vaporing. The air conditioner is provided with a heat storage tank 32 that accommodates a heat storage material 36 for storing therein heat generated by a compressor 6 and a heat storage heat exchanger 34. A heat storage bypass circuit is provided to connect a refrigerant pipe between an indoor heat exchanger 16 and an expansion valve 12 and a refrigerant pipe between a four-way valve 8 and an inlet port defined in the compressor 6, and a defrosting bypass circuit is provided to connect a refrigerant pipe between the expansion valve 12 and an outdoor heat exchanger 14 and a refrigerant pipe between an outlet port defined in the compressor 6 and the four-way valve 8. The heat storage heat exchanger 34 and a heat storage two-way valve 42 are provided in the heat storage bypass circuit, and a defrosting two-way valve 30 is provided in the defrosting bypass circuit. If a temperature detected by a compressor temperature sensor 58, a compressor discharge temperature sensor 60, or a heat storage tank temperature sensor 50 exceeds a first predetermined temperature, the heat storage two-way valve 42 is opened to introduce a refrigerant, which has passed through the indoor heat exchanger 16 or the outdoor heat exchanger 14, into the heat storage heat exchanger 34.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioner including a heat storage tank for accommodating a heat storage member storing heat generated by a compressor, and a heat storage heat exchanger for exchanging heat by using the heat stored in the heat storage member. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, when the outdoor heat exchanger is frosted during the heating operation of the heat pump air conditioner, the four-way valve is switched so as to switch from the heating cycle to the cooling cycle to perform defrosting. In this defrosting method, although the indoor fan is stopped, cold air is gradually released from the indoor unit and the heating feeling is lost. [0003] Therefore, it has been proposed to install a heat storage device in the compressor installed in the outdoor unit, and to perform defrosting by using waste heat of the compressor stored in the heat storage tank during heating operation (for example, refer to Patent Document ...
