Problems solved by technology

However, compared with the R410A refrigerant, the discharge gas temperature of the R32 refrigerant rises by about 10 to 20°C, and the higher the pressure ratio between the suction pressure and the discharge pressure, the higher the discharge gas temperature tends to be. The oil temperature in the compressor rises due to the return oil from the oil separator

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to minimize any increase in oil temperature within a compressor and to ensure a permissible operating range and conditions comparable to those for R410A refrigerant, even when a R32 refrigerant having a high discharge gas temperature is used, as well as to minimize any increase in the oil circulation rate and the effects on the refrigerating cycle capacity and performance. The present invention is provided with a refrigerating cycle (1) equipped with a low-pressure housing-type compressor (2) and filled with R32 refrigerant, an oil separator (3) provided to the discharge circuit (13A) of the compressor, and an oil return circuit (31) for returning the oil separated by the oil separator to an oil reservoir inside the housing of thecompressor. The oil return circuit is a parallel circuit comprising a direct circuit (32) for direct return of oil to the oil reservoir in the housing, and a cooling circuit (35) for return of oil having been cooled by an oil cooler (37), and is provided with an oil temperature control unit (42) for detecting at least one parameter among the discharge temperature of the refrigerant, and the oil temperature or oil viscosity within the compressor, and when the parameter exceeds a threshold value, switching the oil return circuit from the direct circuit to the cooling circuit, and returning theoil once the oil temperature is brought to a prescribed temperature or lower.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cycle of a refrigeration cycle using R32 refrigerant with a low global warming coefficient (hereinafter referred to as GWP) or a mixed refrigerant rich in R32 refrigerant (hereinafter referred to as R32 refrigerant for short). Oil circuit and oil return method. Background technique [0002] Regarding R32 refrigerant, its ozone destruction coefficient (ODP) is zero, and compared with R410A refrigerant, its GWP is about 1 / 3, which is low, so it can contribute to reducing environmental load, and can be used as R410A refrigerant alternative refrigerants. However, compared with the R410A refrigerant, the discharge gas temperature of the R32 refrigerant rises by about 10 to 20°C, and the higher the pressure ratio between the suction pressure and the discharge pressure, the higher the discharge gas temperature tends to be. The temperature of the oil in the compressor rises due to the return oil from the oil separator. As ...
