Title:
AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/059737
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an air conditioning apparatus wherein a supercritical refrigerant is used and a circulation quantity of the refrigerant is easily adjusted. A refrigeration unit (1b) uses a refrigerant that operates in a supercritical range, and is provided with a compressor (21), a first heat exchanger (23), a first expansion mechanism (V2), a supercooling heat exchanger (24), a second expansion mechanism (V3), a second heat exchanger (31), and a control section (5). The compressor compresses the refrigerant. The first heat exchanger cools the high pressure refrigerant compressed by the compressor. The first expansion mechanism depressurizes the refrigerant to a critical pressure or lower. The supercooling heat exchanger supercools the refrigerant depressurized by the first expansion mechanism. The second expansion mechanism depressurizes the refrigerant cooled by the supercooling heat exchanger to a low pressure. The second heat exchanger heats the refrigerant depressurized by the second expansion mechanism. The control section performs first control to adjust the first expansion mechanism and the second expansion mechanism so that the liquid refrigerant is reserved in the supercooling heat exchanger.
