Title:
HEAT-PUMP UTILIZATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/235125
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A heat-pump utilization device according to the present invention is provided with a refrigerant circuit and a heat medium circuit. The refrigerant circuit is capable of performing a heating operation and a cooling operation. A first expansion device and a second expansion device are respectively disposed at the downstream side and the upstream side of a vessel, in the flow of a refrigerant during the heating operation. A main circuit of the heat medium circuit has a branch part and a merge part. A pressure protection device is connected to a connection part located between a load-side heat exchanger and one of the branch part and the merge part or located at the load-side heat exchanger. A refrigerant leakage detecting device is connected to the other of the branch part and the merge part, is connected between the connection part and the other of the branch part and the merge part, or is connected to the connection part. When leakage of the refrigerant into the heat medium circuit is detected, a refrigerant flow-path switching device is put in a cooling operation state, the first expansion device is put in an open state, the second expansion device is put in a closed state, and a compressor is operated.
