Embodiment approach 1

[0028] figure 1 It is a refrigerant circuit diagram of the air-conditioning apparatus including the heat source unit 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0029] The air conditioner includes a compressor 1, a four-way valve 2 that switches the flow direction of refrigerant according to heating and cooling, a heat source side heat exchanger 3, an expansion valve 4, and a load side heat exchanger 5, and includes these Refrigerant circuits partially connected by piping. In addition, the air conditioner includes a blower 6 for passing air through the heat source side heat exchanger 3 to promote heat exchange between the air and the refrigerant in the heat source side heat exchanger 3 .

[0030] The compressor 1 compresses the sucked refrigerant into a state of high temperature and high pressure.

[0031] The heat source side heat exchanger 3 and the load side heat exchanger 5 exchange heat between the refrigerant and the air, and are air heat exchangers with...

Embodiment approach 2

[0097] Embodiment 2 is different from Embodiment 1 in the arrangement position of the control box 13 and the blower control based on the difference in the arrangement position. Other than that, the configuration, operation, etc. of the refrigerant circuit are the same as those of the first embodiment. In addition, for the following Figure 7 ~ Figure 9 Components that are the same as those in Embodiment 1 are assigned the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. Note that modifications applied to the same components as those in the first embodiment are also similarly applied in the second embodiment.

[0098] Figure 7 It is a figure which shows the heat source unit 100 of Embodiment 2 of this invention, Figure 7 (a) is the front view, Figure 7 (b) is the rear view, Figure 7 (c) is a sectional view, Figure 7 (d) is a plan view. Figure 8 yes means Figure 7 A diagram of the control box 13. Figure 8 The arrows i...

Abstract

A heat source unit includes a housing 100a including a machine chamber 12 incorporating a compressor 1 and an expansion valve 4 and having an air ventilation port 7 allowing for ventilation with outside air and a heat exchange chamber 11 incorporating a heat source side heat exchanger 3 and an air-sending device 6 configured to cause air to pass through the heat source side heat exchanger 3, a control box 13 disposed in the housing 100a at a position so that an airflow from the air-sending device 6 passes through the control box 13, a refrigerant concentration detection unit 14 disposed in the control box 13 and configured to detect refrigerant concentration, and a control circuit 15 disposed in the control box 13 and configured to control the air-sending device 6 so that a volume of air from the air-sending device 6 to pass through the control box 13 is maximum when refrigerant leakage is detected on a basis of a detection value of the refrigerant concentration detection unit 14.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a heat source unit suitable for use in multi-type air conditioners for buildings and the like, for example. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is a heat source unit that includes a compressor, a heat exchanger, a blower, and a control box in a housing and uses a flammable refrigerant that is denser than air. In such a heat source unit, if the flammable refrigerant leaks, it will stagnate from the lower part of the casing, and the refrigerant may come into contact with a control circuit in a control box provided in the casing and cause fire. In order to avoid this situation, there is the following technology: install a refrigerant leakage detection mechanism in the frame, and when refrigerant leakage is detected, the blower is reversely rotated to suck the air outside the frame into the frame to increase the pressure inside the frame, to discharge the refrigerant stagnated in the frame to the outside of...
