Title:
AIR CONDITIONER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/088684
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An air conditioner is provided with: a refrigeration cycle formed by interconnecting a compressor (6), a four-way valve (8), an indoor heat exchanger (16), an expansion valve (12), an outdoor heat exchanger (14), and the four-way valve (8) so that a refrigerant flows through such elements in that order during heating operation; a heat storage tank (32) for housing a heat storage material (36) which stores heat generated by the compressor (6), and also housing a heat storage heat exchanger (34) which allows a refrigerant flowing therein to exchange heat with the heat storage material (36); a first bypass conduit (38, 40) for the bypass connection between the indoor heat exchanger (16) and the expansion valve (12), and the bypass connection between the four-way valve (8) and the suction opening of the compressor (6), the first bypass conduit (38, 40) having the heat storage heat exchanger (34) disposed between the ends thereof; a second bypass conduit (28) for the bypass connection between the expansion valve (12) and the outdoor heat exchanger (14), and the bypass connection between the discharge opening of the compressor (6) and the four-way valve (8); and a reactor for generating heat when an electric current flows therethrough. The first bypass conduit (40) is provided with a heater (61) which stores heat discharged from the reactor and which transfers the heat to the refrigerant.
