Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a heat pump type air conditioner for conditioning the interior of a vehicle.
Background
In recent years, environmental problems have been developed, and thus hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles have been widely used. Further, as an air conditioner applicable to such a vehicle, an air conditioner including: a compressor that compresses a refrigerant and discharges the compressed refrigerant; a radiator that is provided inside a vehicle interior and that radiates heat from a refrigerant; a heat absorber that is provided inside a vehicle interior and absorbs heat from a refrigerant; and an outdoor heat exchanger provided outside the vehicle cabin and configured to radiate or absorb heat from a refrigerant, wherein the air conditioning apparatus is configured to switch between a heating mode in which the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is radiated to the radiator and a dehumidifying heating mode in which the refrigerant radiated to the radiator is absorbed to the outdoor heat exchanger; in the dehumidification and heating mode, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is radiated to the radiator, and the refrigerant radiated to the radiator absorbs heat in the heat absorber and the outdoor heat exchanger; in the cooling mode, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is radiated in the outdoor heat exchanger and absorbed in the heat absorber; in the dehumidification cooling mode, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is radiated to the radiator and the outdoor heat exchanger, and is absorbed to the heat absorber.
In this case, an outdoor expansion valve is provided at an inlet of the outdoor heat exchanger, and the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger is depressurized through the outdoor expansion valve in the heating mode and the dehumidification heating mode described above. In the dehumidification and heating mode, the refrigerant flowing out of the radiator is split, one of the refrigerant is depressurized by the indoor expansion valve and flows into the heat absorber, the refrigerant absorbs heat in the heat absorber, and the other refrigerant is depressurized by the outdoor expansion valve and flows into the outdoor heat exchanger, so that the refrigerant absorbs heat (for example, refer to patent document 1).

Disclosure of Invention
Technical problem to be solved by the invention
In the dehumidification and heating mode described above, when the temperature of the heat absorber significantly decreases, the rotation speed of the compressor is reduced to prevent the heat absorber from freezing. However, when the rotation speed of the compressor decreases, the high-pressure decreases, and therefore, the heat dissipation in the radiator decreases, and the target blowout temperature cannot be achieved.
On the other hand, if the rotation speed of the compressor is maintained to achieve the target blowing temperature, the heat absorber freezes, and the amount of air blown into the vehicle interior decreases.
The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner for a vehicle capable of achieving a target blowout temperature while preventing freezing of a heat absorber in a dehumidification and heating mode.
Technical proposal adopted for solving the technical problems
The air conditioner for a vehicle according to the present invention includes: a compressor that compresses a refrigerant; a radiator for radiating heat from a refrigerant to heat air supplied into a vehicle interior; a heat absorber for absorbing heat from the refrigerant to cool air supplied into the vehicle interior; an outdoor heat exchanger provided outside the vehicle; an outdoor expansion valve for decompressing the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger; an indoor expansion valve for decompressing the refrigerant flowing into the heat absorber; and a control device for performing at least a dehumidification and heating mode in which the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is radiated in the radiator, the radiated refrigerant is split, one refrigerant is depressurized by the indoor expansion valve, the one refrigerant is then absorbed in the heat absorber, the other refrigerant is depressurized by the outdoor expansion valve, and the other refrigerant is then absorbed in the outdoor heat exchanger, wherein the control device sets the indoor expansion valve to be fully closed when the temperature of the heat absorber is lower than a predetermined value.
The air conditioner for a vehicle according to claim 2 is the above invention, wherein the control device controls the rotation speed of the compressor based on an index capable of grasping the temperature of air blown into the vehicle interior.
In the air conditioner for a vehicle according to claim 3, the control device enlarges the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve as the temperature of the heat absorber decreases, and if the outdoor expansion valve is set to the maximum opening and the temperature of the heat absorber is lower than a predetermined value, the control device fully closes the indoor expansion valve.
In the air conditioner for a vehicle according to claim 4, the control device reduces the valve opening of the indoor expansion valve when the outdoor expansion valve is set to the maximum opening, and sets the indoor expansion valve to be fully closed when the temperature of the heat absorber is lower than a predetermined value.
The air conditioner for a vehicle according to claim 5 is the above-described respective inventions, wherein the control device opens the indoor expansion valve at a predetermined valve opening degree when the temperature of the heat absorber exceeds a predetermined value or exceeds a predetermined value higher than the predetermined value after the indoor expansion valve is fully closed.
The air conditioner for a vehicle according to claim 6 is the above-described respective inventions, and is characterized in that the control device executes a dehumidification cooling mode in which the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is cooled by the expansion valve and the outdoor heat exchanger, and the cooled refrigerant is depressurized by the indoor expansion valve, and then the refrigerant absorbs heat in the heat absorber, and the maximum value of the control of the valve opening degree of the indoor expansion valve in the dehumidification cooling mode is set to be smaller than the maximum value of the control of the valve opening degree of the indoor expansion valve in the dehumidification cooling mode.
Effects of the invention
According to the present invention, an air conditioning apparatus for a vehicle includes: a compressor that compresses a refrigerant; a radiator for radiating heat from a refrigerant to heat air supplied into a vehicle interior; a heat absorber for absorbing heat from the refrigerant to cool air supplied into the vehicle interior; an outdoor heat exchanger provided outside the vehicle; an outdoor expansion valve for decompressing the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger; an indoor expansion valve for decompressing the refrigerant flowing into the heat absorber; and a control device for performing at least a dehumidification and heating mode in which the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is radiated in the radiator, the radiated refrigerant is split, one refrigerant is depressurized by the indoor expansion valve, then the one refrigerant is depressurized by the outdoor expansion valve, the other refrigerant is depressurized by the outdoor expansion valve, and then the other refrigerant is depressurized by the outdoor heat exchanger, wherein the control device sets the indoor expansion valve to be fully closed when the temperature of the heat absorber is lower than a predetermined value, and therefore, the refrigerant can be stopped from flowing to the heat absorber without decreasing the rotation speed of the compressor, and the heat absorber is prevented from being frozen.
In this way, the problem of a decrease in the air volume blown into the vehicle interior is also eliminated, and in particular, as in the invention according to claim 2, when the rotation speed of the compressor is controlled based on an index capable of grasping the temperature of the air blown into the vehicle interior, the target blowing temperature can be smoothly achieved.
In this case, as in the invention of claim 3, if the control device expands the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve as the temperature of the heat absorber decreases, and if the outdoor expansion valve is set to the maximum opening and the temperature of the heat absorber is lower than the predetermined value, and the indoor expansion valve is set to be fully closed, the control device can cope with the decrease in the temperature of the heat absorber by the outdoor expansion valve while the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing to the heat absorber is being controlled by the control device of the outdoor expansion valve, and can stop the flow of the refrigerant into the heat absorber by the indoor expansion valve when the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing to the heat absorber is reduced by the outdoor expansion valve to the limit.
In particular, as in the invention of claim 4, if the control device reduces the valve opening of the indoor expansion valve when the outdoor expansion valve is set to the maximum opening, and sets the indoor expansion valve to be fully closed when the temperature of the heat absorber is lower than the predetermined value, it is not necessary to set the indoor expansion valve to be fully closed if the temperature of the heat absorber is not lower than the predetermined value by reducing the valve opening of the indoor expansion valve. Therefore, the dehumidification capability of the vehicle interior can be maintained while the heat absorber is prevented from freezing.
Further, as in the invention of claim 5, if the control device opens the indoor expansion valve at a predetermined valve opening when the temperature of the heat absorber exceeds a predetermined value or exceeds a predetermined value higher than the predetermined value after the indoor expansion valve is fully closed, the temperature of the heat absorber increases after the indoor expansion valve is fully closed, whereby it is possible to restart the supply of the refrigerant to the heat absorber without any obstruction and to start dehumidification of the vehicle interior.
Here, as in the invention of claim 6, when the control device sets the maximum value of the control of the valve opening of the indoor expansion valve in the dehumidification and heating mode to be smaller than the maximum value of the control of the valve opening of the indoor expansion valve in the dehumidification and heating mode, the temperature drop of the heat absorber can be suppressed, and in the dehumidification and cooling mode in which the two-stage decompression action by the outdoor expansion valve and the indoor expansion valve is generated, the outdoor expansion valve is controlled to be slightly opened, as compared with the case of the dehumidification and heating mode, the dehumidification and cooling in the vehicle interior can be achieved without any trouble, in which the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is allowed to dissipate heat in the expansion valve and the outdoor heat exchanger, and the refrigerant after the dissipation is decompressed in the indoor expansion valve, and thereafter the refrigerant is allowed to absorb heat in the heat absorber.

The battery controller 73 is connected to outputs of a heat medium temperature sensor 76 and a battery temperature sensor 77, the heat medium temperature sensor 76 detects a temperature of the heat medium (heat medium temperature Tw) on the inlet side of the heat medium flow path 64A of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64 of the device temperature adjustment apparatus 61, and the battery temperature sensor 77 detects a temperature of the battery 55 (a temperature of the battery 55 itself: a battery temperature Tcell).

With the above configuration, the operation of the vehicle air conditioner 1 according to the embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the control device 11 (air-conditioning controller 45, heat pump controller 32) switches between the air-conditioning operation, the battery cooling operation, the air-conditioning mode, and the battery cooling operation in the battery cooling (individual) mode, which are performed in the heating mode, the dehumidification cooling mode, the cooling mode, and the air-conditioning (priority) +battery cooling mode.
In the embodiment, the battery 55 is not charged, and each air conditioning operation of the heating mode, the dehumidification cooling mode, the cooling mode, and the air conditioning (priority) +battery cooling mode can be executed when the Ignition (IGN) of the vehicle is turned on and the air conditioning switch of the air conditioning operation unit 53 is turned on. However, in the case of remote operation (pre-air conditioning, etc.), the ignition device can be turned off. In addition, there is no battery cooling requirement even while the battery 55 is in charge, and the air conditioning switch can be implemented when it is on.
On the other hand, each of the battery cooling (priority) +air conditioning mode and battery cooling (individual) mode can be executed when, for example, a plug of a quick charger (external power supply) is connected and the battery 55 is charged. However, the battery cooling (individual) mode can be performed when the air conditioner switch is turned off and there is a battery cooling request (traveling at a high outside air temperature or the like) in addition to during charging of the battery 55.
In the embodiment, when the ignition is turned on or when the battery 55 is still being charged even though the ignition is turned off, the heat pump controller 32 operates the circulation pump 62 of the device temperature adjusting device 61 and circulates the heat medium through the heat medium pipe 66 as indicated by the broken line in fig. 3 to 7. In addition, the heat pump controller 32 of the embodiment also executes a battery heating mode in which the battery 55 is heated by causing the heat medium heater 63 of the device temperature adjustment apparatus 61 to generate heat.
(1) Heating mode
First, a heating mode will be described with reference to fig. 3. In the following description, the heat pump controller 32 is used as a control main body, and control of each device is performed by cooperation of the heat pump controller 32 and the air conditioner controller 45. Fig. 3 shows a flow pattern (solid arrows) of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit R in the heating mode. When the heating mode is selected by the heat pump controller 32 (automatic mode) or a manual air conditioning setting operation (manual mode) with respect to the air conditioning operation unit 53 of the air conditioning controller 45, the heat pump controller 32 opens the solenoid valve 21 and closes the solenoid valves 17 and 22. The outdoor expansion valve 6 is opened, the indoor expansion valve 8 and the auxiliary expansion valve 68 are fully closed, the compressor 2 and the blowers 15 and 27 are operated, and the air mixing damper 28 is set in a state in which the ratio of air blown from the indoor blower 27 to the radiator 4 and the auxiliary heater 23 is adjusted.
Thereby, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2 flows into the radiator 4. Since the radiator 4 is ventilated with the air in the air flow path 3, the air in the air flow path 3 is heated by exchanging heat with the high-temperature refrigerant in the radiator 4. On the other hand, the refrigerant in the radiator 4 is cooled by taking heat from the air, and condensed and liquefied.
The refrigerant liquefied in the radiator 4 flows out of the radiator 4 and then flows through the refrigerant pipes 13E and 13J to the outdoor expansion valve 6. The refrigerant flowing into the outdoor expansion valve 6 is depressurized in the outdoor expansion valve 6 and then flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 7. The refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger 7 evaporates and draws heat (absorbs heat) from the outside air traveling or ventilated by the outdoor blower 15. That is, the refrigerant circuit R functions as a heat pump. Then, the low-temperature refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger 7 flows through the refrigerant pipe 13A, the refrigerant pipe 13D, and the solenoid valve 21 to the refrigerant pipe 13C, and enters the accumulator 12 through the refrigerant pipe 13C, and after being gas-liquid separated in the accumulator 12, the gas refrigerant is sucked into the compressor 2 from the refrigerant pipe 13K, and the cycle described above is repeated. Since the air heated by the radiator 4 is blown out from the air outlet 29, heating in the vehicle cabin is performed.
The heat pump controller 32 calculates a target radiator pressure PCO from a target heater temperature TCO (a target value of a radiator temperature Thp described later) calculated from a target blow-out temperature TAO, which is a target temperature of air blown out into the vehicle interior (a target value of a temperature of air blown out into the vehicle interior), controls the rotation speed of the compressor 2 based on the target radiator pressure PCO and a radiator pressure Pci (a high pressure of the refrigerant circuit R) detected by the radiator pressure sensor 47, and controls the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 based on a refrigerant outlet temperature Tci of the radiator 4 detected by the radiator outlet temperature sensor 44 and a radiator pressure Pci detected by the radiator pressure sensor 47, thereby controlling the degree of supercooling of the refrigerant at the outlet of the radiator 4.
The radiator pressure Pci is an index that can be grasped as to the temperature of the air blown into the vehicle interior in the present invention, but the blowing temperature blown into the vehicle interior detected by the blowing temperature sensor 41 may be employed as the index.
Further, in the case where the heating capacity (heating capacity) achieved by the radiator 4 is insufficient with respect to the required heating capacity, the heat pump controller 32 compensates for the insufficient amount by the heat generation of the auxiliary heater 23. Thus, even when the outside air temperature is low, the interior of the vehicle can be heated without any trouble.
(2) Dehumidification heating mode
Next, a dehumidification and heating mode will be described with reference to fig. 4. Fig. 4 shows a flow pattern (solid arrows) of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit R in the dehumidification and heating mode. In the dehumidification and heating mode, the heat pump controller 32 opens the solenoid valves 21 and 22 and closes the solenoid valve 17. The outdoor expansion valve 6 and the indoor expansion valve 8 are opened, and the auxiliary expansion valve 68 is fully closed. Next, the compressor 2 and the blowers 15 and 27 are operated, and the air mixing damper 28 is set in a state in which the ratio of the air blown from the indoor blower 27 to the radiator 4 and the auxiliary heater 23 is adjusted.
Thereby, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2 flows into the radiator 4. Since the radiator 4 is ventilated with the air in the air flow path 3, the air in the air flow path 3 is heated by exchanging heat with the high-temperature refrigerant in the radiator 4. On the other hand, the refrigerant in the radiator 4 is cooled by taking heat from the air, and condensed and liquefied.
After flowing out from the radiator 4, the refrigerant liquefied in the radiator 4 flows through the refrigerant pipe 13E, and then, partially flows into the refrigerant pipe 13J and flows to the outdoor expansion valve 6. The refrigerant flowing into the outdoor expansion valve 6 is depressurized in the outdoor expansion valve 6 and then flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 7. The refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger 7 evaporates and draws heat (absorbs heat) from the outside air traveling or ventilated by the outdoor blower 15. Then, the low-temperature refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger 7 flows through the refrigerant pipe 13A, the refrigerant pipe 13D, and the solenoid valve 21 to the refrigerant pipe 13C, and enters the accumulator 12 through the refrigerant pipe 13C, and after being gas-liquid separated in the accumulator 12, the gas refrigerant is sucked into the compressor 2 from the refrigerant pipe 13K, and the cycle described above is repeated.
On the other hand, the remaining portion of the condensed refrigerant flowing through the radiator 4 and the refrigerant pipe 13E is split, and the split refrigerant flows into the refrigerant pipe 13F and flows into the refrigerant pipe 13B through the solenoid valve 22. Then, the refrigerant flows into the indoor expansion valve 8, is depressurized in the indoor expansion valve 8, flows into the heat absorber 9, and evaporates. At this time, moisture in the air blown from the indoor blower 27 condenses and adheres to the heat absorber 9 by the heat absorption effect of the refrigerant generated by the heat absorber 9, and therefore, the air is cooled and dehumidified.
The refrigerant evaporated in the heat absorber 9 flows out from the refrigerant pipe 13C and merges with the refrigerant from the refrigerant pipe 13D (refrigerant from the outdoor heat exchanger 7), passes through the accumulator 12, is sucked into the compressor 2 from the refrigerant pipe 13K, and repeats the above cycle. The air dehumidified by the heat absorber 9 is reheated while passing through the radiator 4 and the auxiliary heater 23 (in the case of heat generation), thereby performing dehumidification and heating in the vehicle cabin.
In the embodiment, the heat pump controller 32 controls the rotation speed NC of the compressor 2 based on the target radiator pressure PCO calculated from the target heater temperature TCO and the radiator pressure PCI (high pressure of the refrigerant circuit R) detected by the radiator pressure sensor 47. In addition, the valve opening degrees of the outdoor expansion valve 6 and the indoor expansion valve 8 are controlled based on the absorber temperature Te, but the control of these outdoor expansion valve 6 and indoor expansion valve 8 in the dehumidification and heating mode will be described in detail below.
In addition, in the case where the heating capacity (heating capacity) achieved by the radiator 4 is insufficient with respect to the heating capacity required in the above-described dehumidification heating mode, the heat pump controller 32 can compensate for the above-described insufficient amount by the heat generation of the auxiliary heater 23. Thus, even when the outside air temperature is low, the interior of the vehicle can be dehumidified and heated without any trouble.
(3) Dehumidification cooling mode
Next, a dehumidification cooling mode will be described with reference to fig. 5. Fig. 5 shows a flow pattern (solid arrows) of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit R in the dehumidification cooling mode. In the dehumidification cooling mode, the heat pump controller 32 opens the solenoid valve 17 and closes the solenoid valves 20 and 21. The outdoor expansion valve 6 and the indoor expansion valve 8 are opened, and the auxiliary expansion valve 68 is fully closed. Next, the compressor 2 and the blowers 15 and 27 are operated, and the air mixing damper 28 is set in a state in which the ratio of the air blown from the indoor blower 27 to the radiator 4 and the auxiliary heater 23 is adjusted.
Thereby, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2 flows into the radiator 4. Since the radiator 4 is ventilated with the air in the air flow path 3, the air in the air flow path 3 is heated by exchanging heat with the high-temperature refrigerant in the radiator 4. On the other hand, the refrigerant in the radiator 4 is cooled by taking heat from the air, and condensed and liquefied.
The refrigerant flowing out of the radiator 4 flows through the refrigerant pipes 13E and 13J to the outdoor expansion valve 6, and flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 7 through the outdoor expansion valve 6 controlled to be slightly opened (a region having a large valve opening degree) compared with the heating mode and the dehumidification heating mode. The refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger 7 is cooled by air in the outdoor heat exchanger 7 by traveling or by using outside air ventilated by the outdoor blower 15, and is condensed. The refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger 7 flows into the refrigerant pipe 13B through the refrigerant pipe 13A, and flows to the indoor expansion valve 8 through the solenoid valve 17 and the check valve 18 in this order. The refrigerant is depressurized in the indoor expansion valve 8, and then flows into the heat absorber 9 to evaporate. At this time, moisture in the air blown from the indoor blower 27 condenses and adheres to the heat absorber 9 by the heat absorption action, and therefore, the air is cooled and dehumidified.
The refrigerant evaporated in the heat absorber 9 flows through the refrigerant pipe 13C to the accumulator 12, is sucked from the refrigerant pipe 13K to the compressor 2 through the accumulator 12, and repeats the above cycle. The dehumidified air cooled by the heat absorber 9 is reheated (the heating capacity is lower than that in dehumidification heating) while passing through the radiator 4 and the auxiliary heater 23 (in the case of heat generation), and thereby dehumidification cooling in the vehicle cabin is performed.
The heat pump controller 32 controls the rotation speed of the compressor 2 based on the temperature of the heat absorber 9 (heat absorber temperature Te) detected by the heat absorber temperature sensor 48 and the target heat absorber temperature TEO, which is the target temperature of the heat absorber 9 (target value of the heat absorber temperature Te), so that the heat absorber temperature Te becomes the target heat absorber temperature TEO, and controls the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 so that the radiator pressure Pci becomes the target radiator pressure PCO based on the radiator pressure Pci (high pressure of the refrigerant circuit R) detected by the radiator pressure sensor 47 and the target radiator pressure PCO (target value of the radiator pressure Pci), thereby obtaining the required reheating amount (reheating amount) achieved by the radiator 4.
In addition, in the dehumidification cooling mode described above, when the heating capacity (reheating capacity) achieved by the radiator 4 is insufficient with respect to the required heating capacity, the heat pump controller 32 compensates for the insufficient amount by the heat generation of the auxiliary heater 23. This makes it possible to perform dehumidification cooling while preventing an excessive drop in the temperature in the vehicle interior.
(4) Refrigeration mode
Next, a cooling mode will be described. The flow of the refrigerant in this cooling mode is the same as in fig. 5. That is, even in the cooling mode, the heat pump controller 32 opens the solenoid valve 17 and closes the solenoid valves 21 and 22. The outdoor expansion valve 6 is fully closed, the indoor expansion valve 8 is opened, and the auxiliary expansion valve is fully closed. Next, the compressor 2 and the blowers 15 and 27 are operated, and the air mixing damper 28 is set in a state in which the ratio of the air blown from the indoor blower 27 to the radiator 4 and the auxiliary heater 23 is adjusted. In addition, the auxiliary heater 23 is not energized.
Thereby, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2 flows into the radiator 4. Although the air in the air flow path 3 is ventilated to the radiator 4, since the above ratio is small (only for reheating (reheating) in the cooling process), almost only the air passes through the radiator 4, and the refrigerant flowing out of the radiator 4 flows through the refrigerant pipe 13E to the refrigerant pipe 13J. The refrigerant passes through the outdoor expansion valve 6, which is fully opened, flows through and into the outdoor heat exchanger 7, and is then condensed and liquefied by air-cooling by the outside air that is traveling or ventilated by the outdoor blower 15.
The refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger 7 flows into the refrigerant pipe 13B through the refrigerant pipe 13A, and flows to the indoor expansion valve 8 through the solenoid valve 17 and the check valve 18 in this order. The refrigerant is depressurized in the indoor expansion valve 8, and then flows into the heat absorber 9 to evaporate. Under the heat absorption action at this time, the air blown from the indoor blower 27 and heat-exchanged with the heat absorber 9 is cooled.
The refrigerant evaporated in the heat absorber 9 flows through the refrigerant pipe 13C to the accumulator 12, is sucked from the accumulator 12 through the refrigerant pipe 13K to the compressor 2, and repeats the above cycle. The air cooled by the heat absorber 9 is blown out into the vehicle interior from the air outlet 29, thereby cooling the vehicle interior. In the cooling mode, the heat pump controller 32 controls the rotation speed NC of the compressor 2 based on the temperature of the heat absorber 9 (absorber temperature Te) detected by the absorber temperature sensor 48.
(5) Air conditioner (priority) +battery cooling mode
Next, an air conditioner (priority) +battery cooling mode will be described with reference to fig. 6. Fig. 6 shows the flow pattern (solid arrows) of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit R in the air-conditioning (priority) +battery cooling mode. In the air conditioning (priority) +battery cooling mode, the heat pump controller 32 opens the solenoid valve 17 and closes the solenoid valves 21 and 22. The outdoor expansion valve is fully opened, and the indoor expansion valve 8 and the auxiliary expansion valve 68 are opened.
Next, the compressor 2 and the blowers 15 and 27 are operated, and the air mixing damper 28 is set in a state in which the ratio of the air blown from the indoor blower 27 to the radiator 4 and the auxiliary heater 23 is adjusted. In the operation mode, the auxiliary heater 23 is not energized. The heat medium heater 63 is not energized either.
Thereby, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2 flows into the radiator 4. Although the air in the air flow path 3 is ventilated to the radiator 4, since the above ratio is small (only for reheating (reheating) in the cooling process), almost only the air passes through the radiator 4, and the refrigerant flowing out of the radiator 4 flows through the refrigerant pipe 13E to the refrigerant pipe 13J. At this time, since the outdoor expansion valve 6 is fully opened, the refrigerant flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 7 in this way, and is condensed and liquefied by air-cooling by the outside air that is traveling or ventilated by the outdoor blower 15.
The refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger 7 flows into the refrigerant pipe 13B through the refrigerant pipe 13A, and is split after passing through the solenoid valve 17 and the check valve 18, and flows directly through the refrigerant pipe 13B to reach the indoor expansion valve 8. The refrigerant flowing into the indoor expansion valve 8 is depressurized in the outdoor expansion valve 6, and then flows into the heat absorber 9 to evaporate. Under the heat absorption action at this time, the air blown from the indoor blower 27 and heat-exchanged with the heat absorber 9 is cooled.
The refrigerant evaporated in the heat absorber 9 flows through the refrigerant pipe 13C to the accumulator 12, is sucked from the accumulator 12 through the refrigerant pipe 13K to the compressor 2, and repeats the above cycle. The air cooled by the heat absorber 9 is blown out into the vehicle interior from the air outlet 29, thereby cooling the vehicle interior.
On the other hand, the remaining portion of the refrigerant passing through the check valve 18 is branched and flows into the branch pipe 67 and flows to the auxiliary expansion valve 68. Here, after the refrigerant is depressurized, the refrigerant flows into the refrigerant flow path 64B of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64, and evaporates in the refrigerant flow path 64B. At this time, an endothermic effect is exerted. The refrigerant evaporated in the refrigerant flow path 64B passes through the refrigerant pipe 71, the refrigerant pipe 13C, and the accumulator 12 in this order, is sucked into the compressor 2 from the refrigerant pipe 13K, and repeatedly circulates (indicated by solid arrows in fig. 6).
On the other hand, since the circulation pump 62 is operated, the heat medium discharged from the circulation pump 62 passes through the heat medium heater 64, flows through the heat medium pipe 66 to the heat medium flow path 64A of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64, exchanges heat with the refrigerant evaporated in the refrigerant flow path 64B in the heat medium flow path 64A, absorbs heat, and is cooled. The heat medium flowing out of the heat medium flow path 64A of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64 flows into the battery 55, and exchanges heat with the battery 55. Thereby, the battery 55 is cooled, and the heat medium after cooling the battery 55 is sucked into the circulation pump 62, and the above-described circulation (indicated by a broken-line arrow in fig. 6) is repeated.
In the above air conditioning (priority) +battery cooling mode, the heat pump controller 32 maintains a state in which the indoor solenoid valve 8 is opened, and controls the rotation speed NC of the compressor 2 based on the temperature of the heat absorber 9 (absorber temperature Te) detected by the absorber temperature sensor 48. Further, in the embodiment, the auxiliary solenoid valve 68 is controlled to be opened and closed based on the temperature of the heat medium (heat medium temperature Tw: sent from the battery controller 73) detected by the heat medium temperature sensor 76. As an index indicating the temperature of the battery 55 as the temperature target in the embodiment, the heat medium temperature Tw (the same applies hereinafter) may be used.
In this case, the heat pump controller 32 sets the upper limit value tur and the lower limit value TLL with a predetermined temperature difference above and below a predetermined target heat medium temperature Tw, which is a target value of the heat medium temperature Tw, for example. The auxiliary solenoid valve 68 is opened when the heat medium temperature Tw is raised to the upper limit value tur (when the heat medium temperature Tw is greater than the upper limit value tur, or equal to or greater than the upper limit value tur) by heat generation of the battery 55 or the like from the state in which the auxiliary solenoid valve 68 is closed. As a result, the refrigerant flows into the refrigerant flow path 64B of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64 and evaporates, and cools the heat medium flowing through the heat medium flow path 64A, so that the battery 55 is cooled by the cooled heat medium.
Subsequently, when the heat medium temperature Tw falls to the lower limit TLL (lower limit TLL or lower limit TLL, the same applies), the assist solenoid valve 68 is opened. Subsequently, the auxiliary solenoid valve 68 is repeatedly opened and closed, and the heat medium temperature Tw is controlled to the target heat medium temperature Tw o while the interior of the vehicle is preferentially cooled, thereby cooling the battery 55.
(6) Switching of air conditioning operation
The heat pump controller 32 calculates the target blowout temperature TAO according to the following expression (I). The target blowout temperature TAO is a target value of the temperature of the air blown out from the blowout port 29 into the vehicle interior.
TAO=(Tset-Tin)×K+Tbal(f(Tset、SUN、Tam))…(I)
Here, tset is the set temperature in the vehicle interior set by the air conditioner operation unit 53, tin is the temperature of the air in the vehicle interior detected by the inside air temperature sensor 37, K is a coefficient, and Tbal is a balance value calculated based on the set temperature Tset, the insolation amount SUN detected by the insolation sensor 51, and the outside air temperature Tam detected by the outside air temperature sensor 33. In general, the lower the outside air temperature Tam, the higher the target blowout temperature TAO, and the target blowout temperature TAO decreases as the outside air temperature Tam increases.
Further, the heat pump controller 32 selects any one of the above-described air conditioning operations based on the outside air temperature Tam and the target blowout temperature TAO detected by the outside air temperature sensor 33 at the time of startup. After the start-up, the respective air conditioning operations are selected and switched according to the operating conditions such as the outside air temperature Tam, the target blowing temperature TAO, the heat medium temperature Tw, the battery temperature Tcell, the environmental conditions, the change in the setting conditions, and the battery cooling request (mode switching request) from the battery controller 73.
(7) Battery cooling (priority) +air conditioning mode
Next, an operation during charging of the battery 55 will be described. For example, when the battery 55 is charged by connecting a plug for charging of a quick charger (external power supply) (the above information is transmitted from the battery controller 73), the heat pump controller 32 executes the battery cooling (priority) +air conditioning mode whenever there is a battery cooling request and the air conditioning switch of the air conditioning operation section 53 is turned on, regardless of whether the Ignition (IGN) of the vehicle is turned on or off. The flow pattern of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit R in the battery cooling (priority) +air conditioning mode is the same as that in the air conditioning (priority) +battery cooling mode shown in fig. 6.
However, in the case of the above-described battery cooling (priority) +air-conditioning mode, in the embodiment, the heat pump controller 32 maintains a state in which the auxiliary solenoid valve 68 is opened, and controls the rotation speed NC of the compressor 2 based on the heat medium temperature Tw detected by the heat medium temperature sensor 76 (sent from the battery controller 73). In the embodiment, the indoor solenoid valve 8 is controlled to be opened and closed based on the temperature of the heat absorber 9 (heat absorber temperature Te) detected by the heat absorber temperature sensor 48.
In this case, for example, the heat pump controller 32 sets the upper limit value TeUL and the lower limit value TeLL with a predetermined temperature difference above and below the predetermined target absorber temperature TEO, which is the target value of the absorber temperature Te. Further, when the absorber temperature Te increases from the state where the indoor solenoid valve 8 is fully closed to the upper limit value TeUL (the same applies to the case where the absorber temperature Te is greater than the upper limit value TeUL or equal to or greater than the upper limit value TeUL), the indoor solenoid valve 8 is opened. Thereby, the refrigerant flows into the heat absorber 9 and evaporates to cool the air flowing through the air flow path 3.
Subsequently, when the absorber temperature Te falls to the lower limit TLL (lower limit TeLL or lower limit TeLL or lower, the same applies), the indoor solenoid valve 8 is fully closed. Then, the indoor solenoid valve 8 is repeatedly opened and closed, and the cooling of the battery 55 is prioritized, and the heat absorber temperature Te is controlled to the target heat absorber temperature TEO, thereby cooling the vehicle interior.
(8) Battery cooling (individual) mode
Next, the heat pump controller 32 executes the battery cooling (individual) mode when there is a battery cooling request to charge the battery 55 by connecting to the plug for charging of the quick charger in a state where the air conditioning switch of the air conditioning operation unit 53 is turned off, regardless of whether the ignition is turned on or off. However, in addition to the charging process of the battery 55, the operation is performed in a case where the air conditioning switch is turned off and there is a battery cooling request (when traveling at a high outside air temperature, etc.). Fig. 7 shows the flow pattern (solid arrows) of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit R in the above-described battery cooling (individual) mode. In the battery cooling (individual) mode, the heat pump controller 32 opens the solenoid valve 17 and closes the solenoid valves 21 and 22. The auxiliary expansion valve 68 is opened, and the indoor expansion valve 8 is fully closed.
Next, the compressor 2 and the outdoor fan 15 are operated. The indoor fan 27 is not operated, and the auxiliary heater 23 is not energized. In the operation mode, the heat medium heater 63 is not energized.
Thereby, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2 flows into the radiator 4. Since the air in the air flow path 3 is not ventilated to the radiator 4, only the refrigerant flowing out of the radiator 4 passes through the air flow path and reaches the refrigerant pipe 13J through the refrigerant pipe 13E. At this time, since the solenoid valve 6 is fully opened, the refrigerant directly flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 7, and then the outdoor heat exchanger 7 is cooled by the outside air ventilated by the outdoor fan 15, thereby condensing and liquefying the refrigerant.
The refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger 7 flows into the refrigerant pipe 13B through the refrigerant pipe 13A, and after passing through the solenoid valve 17 and the check valve 18 in this order, all flows into the branch pipe 67 and flows to the auxiliary expansion valve 68. Here, after the refrigerant is depressurized, the refrigerant flows into the refrigerant flow path 64B of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64, and evaporates in the refrigerant flow path 64B. At this time, an endothermic effect is exerted. The refrigerant evaporated in the refrigerant flow path 64B passes through the refrigerant pipe 71, the refrigerant pipe 13C, and the accumulator 12 in this order, is sucked into the compressor 2 from the refrigerant pipe 13K, and repeatedly circulates (indicated by solid arrows in fig. 7).
On the other hand, since the circulation pump 62 is operated, the heat medium discharged from the circulation pump 62 flows through the heat medium heater 63 into the heat medium flow path 64A of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64 in the heat medium pipe 66, where it absorbs heat by the refrigerant evaporated in the refrigerant flow path 64B, and the heat medium is cooled. The heat medium flowing out of the heat medium flow path 64A of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64 flows into the battery 55, and exchanges heat with the battery 55. Thereby, the battery 55 is cooled, and the heat medium after cooling the battery 55 is sucked into the circulation pump 62, and the above-described circulation (indicated by a broken-line arrow in fig. 7) is repeated.
In the above-described battery cooling (individual) mode, the heat pump controller 32 also controls the rotation speed NC of the compressor 2 based on the heat medium temperature Tw detected by the heat medium temperature sensor 76 to cool the battery 55.
(9) Battery heating mode
Further, the heat pump controller 32 performs a battery heating mode when performing an air conditioning operation or when charging the battery 55. In the battery heating mode, the heat pump controller 32 operates the circulation pump 62 and energizes the heat medium heater 63. The auxiliary expansion valve 68 is fully closed.
As a result, the heat medium discharged from the circulation pump 62 flows into the heat medium pipe 66 and flows to the heat medium heater 63. At this time, the heat medium heater 63 generates heat, and therefore, the heat medium, after being heated by the heat medium heater 63 and having a temperature increased, flows into the heat medium flow path 64A of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64, passes through the heat medium flow path 64A, reaches the battery 55, and exchanges heat with the battery 55. Thereby, the battery 55 is heated, and the heat medium after heating the battery 55 is sucked into the circulation pump 62, and the above-described circulation is repeated.
In the above-described battery heating mode, the heat pump controller 32 controls energization of the heat medium heater 63 based on the heat medium temperature Tw detected by the heat medium temperature sensor 76 so as to adjust the heat medium temperature Tw to a predetermined target heat medium temperature Tw o, thereby heating the battery 55.
(10) Control of compressor 2 in heating mode and dehumidification heating mode
Further, the heat pump controller 32 calculates a target rotation speed (compressor target rotation speed) TGNCh of the compressor 2 based on the radiator pressure Pci in the heating mode and the dehumidification heating mode according to the control block diagram of fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a control block diagram of the heat pump controller 32 that calculates the target rotation speed (compressor target rotation speed) TGNCh of the compressor 2 based on the radiator pressure Pci. The F/F (feedforward) operation amount calculation unit 78 of the heat pump controller 32 calculates the F/F operation amount TGNChff of the compressor target rotation speed based on the outside air temperature Tam obtained from the outside air temperature sensor 33, the blower voltage BLV of the indoor blower 27, the air volume ratio SW determined by the air mix damper 28 obtained by sw= (TAO-Te)/(Thp-Te), the target supercooling degree TGSC that is the target value of the supercooling degree SC of the refrigerant at the outlet of the radiator 4, the aforementioned target heater temperature TCO that is the target value of the heater temperature Thp, and the target radiator pressure PCO that is the target value of the pressure of the radiator 4.
The heater temperature Thp is an air temperature (estimated value) on the leeward side of the radiator 4, and is calculated (estimated) based on the radiator pressure Pci detected by the radiator pressure sensor 47 and the refrigerant outlet temperature Tci detected by the radiator outlet temperature sensor 44. The supercooling degree SC is calculated based on the refrigerant inlet temperature Tcxin and the refrigerant outlet temperature Tci of the radiator 4 detected by the radiator inlet temperature sensor 43 and the radiator outlet temperature sensor 44.
The target value calculation unit 79 calculates the target radiator pressure PCO based on the target supercooling degree TGSC and the target heater temperature TCO. The F/B (feedback) operation amount calculation unit 81 calculates the F/B operation amount TGNChfb of the compressor target rotation speed by PID calculation or PI calculation based on the target radiator pressure PCO and the radiator pressure Pci. The F/F operation amount TGNChff calculated by the F/F operation amount calculating unit 78 and the F/B operation amount TGNChfb calculated by the F/B operation amount calculating unit 81 are added by the adder 82, and input to the limit setting unit 83 as TGNCh 00.
After the limit setting unit 83 sets the limit to the lower limit rotation speed ECNpdLimLo and the upper limit rotation speed ECNPDLIMHI in control as TGNCh, the compressor cut-off control unit 84 determines the compressor target rotation speed TGNCh. In the normal mode, the heat pump controller 32 controls the operation (rotation speed NC) of the compressor 2 based on the compressor target rotation speed TGNCh calculated based on the radiator pressure Pci.
When the compressor target rotation speed TGNCh is the above-described lower limit rotation speed ECNpdLimLo and the radiator pressure Pci increases to a predetermined upper limit PUL set up above and below the target radiator pressure PCO and to a predetermined upper limit PUL in the lower limit PLL (a state greater than the upper limit PUL or a state equal to or greater than the upper limit PUL, the same applies hereinafter), the compressor turn-off control unit 84 enters an on-off mode in which the compressor 2 is stopped and the on-off control of the compressor 2 is performed for a predetermined time period th 1.
In the on-off mode of the compressor 2, when the radiator pressure Pci falls to the lower limit PLL (the same applies to the case where the radiator pressure Pci falls to the lower limit PLL or less), the compressor 2 is started and the compressor target rotation speed TGNCh is operated as the lower limit rotation speed ECNpdLimLo, and when the radiator pressure Pci increases to the upper limit PUL in this state, the compressor 2 is stopped again. That is, the operation (on) and the stop (off) of the compressor 2 at the lower limit rotation speed ECNpdLimLo are repeated. Further, when the radiator pressure pp is lowered to the lower limit value PUL, and then the compressor 2 is started, and when the state in which the radiator pressure pp is not higher than the lower limit value PUL continues for the predetermined time th2, the on-off mode of the compressor 2 is ended, and the normal mode is restored.
(11) Control of the outdoor expansion valve 6 and the indoor expansion valve 8 in the dehumidification and heating mode
Next, an example of control of the outdoor expansion valve 6 and the indoor expansion valve 8 by the heat pump controller 32 in the dehumidification and heating mode will be described with reference to fig. 9 and 10. The heat pump controller 32 controls the rotation speed NC (fig. 8) of the compressor 2 based on the target radiator pressure PCO calculated from the target heater temperature TCO and the radiator pressure Pci (high-pressure of the refrigerant circuit R) detected by the radiator pressure sensor 47 as described above in the dehumidification and heating mode, but controls the valve opening based on the absorber temperature Te for the outdoor expansion valve 6 and controls the valve opening based on the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 and the absorber temperature Te for the indoor expansion valve 8.
(11-1) Control of the outdoor expansion valve 6 in the dehumidification heating mode
First, an example of control of the outdoor expansion valve 6 in the dehumidification and heating mode by the heat pump controller 32 will be described with reference to fig. 9. Fig. 9 shows a transition of the valve opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve 6 in the dehumidification and heating mode. In the embodiment, the heat pump controller 32 changes the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 in three stages based on the change in the absorber temperature Te detected by the absorber temperature sensor 48. First, when the outdoor expansion valve 6 is changed from the fully closed state to the heat absorber temperature Te being lower than the target heat absorber temperature TEO-up>A, the outdoor expansion valve 6 is opened and the valve opening thereof is set to the predetermined valve opening 1. The a is a predetermined positive value. The valve opening 1 is a predetermined opening smaller than a set maximum opening described later.
In a state where the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 is set to the valve opening 1, when the absorber temperature Te is further reduced and is lower than the target absorber temperature TEO-B, the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 is set to the set maximum opening. The set maximum opening is a maximum value in control of the outdoor expansion valve 6 set in the dehumidification and heating mode. The above-mentioned B is a relation of A < B. That is, as the absorber temperature Te decreases from the target absorber temperature TEO, the heat pump controller 32 expands the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6.
As the valve opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve 6 increases, the amount of refrigerant diverted to the indoor expansion valve 8 decreases, and therefore, the inflow amount of refrigerant flowing into the heat absorber 9 decreases. Then, in a state where the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 is set to the maximum opening, the heat absorber temperature Te increases, and when the target heat absorber temperature teo+c increases, the heat pump controller 32 reduces the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 to the valve opening 1 described above. The above-mentioned C is also a predetermined positive value.
In a state where the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 is set to the valve opening 1, when the absorber temperature Te further increases and becomes higher than the target absorber temperature teo+d, the outdoor expansion valve 6 is set to be fully closed. The above-mentioned D is a relation of C < D. That is, the heat pump controller 32 reduces the valve opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve 6 as the heat absorber temperature Te increases from the target heat absorber temperature TEO, and therefore, the amount of refrigerant diverted to the indoor expansion valve 8 increases, and the inflow amount of refrigerant flowing into the heat absorber 9 also increases.
In this way, in the dehumidification and heating mode, the heat pump controller 32 basically controls the absorber temperature Te to be in the vicinity of the target absorber temperature TEO by adjusting the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6. This is called the usual control of the outdoor expansion valve 6.
(11-2) Control of the indoor expansion valve 8 in the dehumidification heating mode
Next, an example of control of the indoor expansion valve 8 in the dehumidification and heating mode by the heat pump controller 32 will be described with reference to fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows a transition of the valve opening degree of the indoor expansion valve 8 in the dehumidification and heating mode. When the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 is not the set maximum opening, the heat pump controller 32 executes the normal control state, and when the valve opening of the outdoor expansion valve 6 is the set maximum opening, the control state is shifted to the opening/closing control state.
That is, in the normal control state, the heat pump controller 32 sets the valve opening of the indoor expansion valve 8 to the predetermined valve opening 2. The valve opening 2 is the maximum value of the control of the indoor expansion valve 8 in the dehumidification and heating mode (the set maximum opening of the indoor expansion valve 8 in the dehumidification and heating mode). The maximum value of the control of the indoor expansion valve 8 in the dehumidification and heating mode is set smaller than the maximum value of the control of the indoor expansion valve 8 in the dehumidification and cooling mode. The reason for this is that two-stage decompression by the outdoor expansion valve 6 and the indoor expansion valve 8 occurs in the dehumidification cooling mode. As in the embodiment, by setting the maximum value in the control of the indoor expansion valve 8, the temperature drop of the heat absorber 9 can be suppressed in the dehumidification and heating mode, and in the dehumidification and cooling mode, the outdoor expansion valve 6 is controlled to be slightly opened as compared with the case of the dehumidification and heating mode, and dehumidification and cooling of the vehicle interior can be achieved without any obstruction.
In this normal control state, when the valve opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve 6 is the set maximum opening degree, the heat pump controller 32 shifts to the opening/closing control state. When the state is shifted to the opening/closing control state, the heat pump controller 32 first reduces the valve opening degree of the indoor expansion valve 8 to the predetermined valve opening degree 3. The valve opening 3 is a predetermined opening smaller than the valve opening 2 described above. That is, when the heat pump controller 32 cannot further control the heat absorber temperature Te due to the valve opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve 6 (because the valve opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve 6 cannot be further increased), the operation is shifted to the opening/closing control state, and the valve opening degree of the indoor expansion valve 8 is reduced to the valve opening degree 3. In this open/close control state, the heat pump controller 32 fixes the outdoor expansion valve 6 to a set maximum opening degree.
In this open/close control state, the heat pump controller 32 performs switching control of the indoor expansion valve 8 between the valve opening 3 and full closure described above based on a change in the absorber temperature Te detected by the absorber temperature sensor 48. That is, even if the outdoor expansion valve 6 is set to the maximum opening degree and the valve opening degree of the indoor expansion valve 8 is reduced to the valve opening degree 3, the heat absorber temperature Te is further reduced to be lower than the predetermined value t1, and the heat pump controller 32 sets the indoor expansion valve 8 to the full-closed state. Thereby, the refrigerant does not further flow into the heat absorber 9, thereby preventing a drop in the heat absorber temperature Te and preventing freezing of the heat absorber 9. The predetermined value t1 is a predetermined lower value equal to or higher than the freezing point (zero degree).
When the indoor expansion valve 8 is fully closed and the temperature of the air blown into the vehicle interior (the blowout temperature) changes, the heat pump controller 32 controls the blowout temperature to a target value in accordance with the change in the blowout temperature in accordance with the rotation speed control of the compressor 2 based on the target radiator pressure PCO and the radiator pressure Pci as described above.
When the heat absorber temperature Te increases beyond the other predetermined value t2 higher than the predetermined value t1 after the indoor expansion valve 8 is fully closed, the heat pump controller 32 opens the indoor expansion valve 8 and sets the valve opening to the valve opening 3 (predetermined valve opening). In addition, in any of the above cases, the indoor expansion valve 8 may be opened when the heat absorber temperature Te exceeds the predetermined value t 1. Thereby, the refrigerant flows into the heat absorber 9, and dehumidification of the vehicle interior is restarted.
After that, when the absorber temperature Te falls below the predetermined value t1 again, the heat pump controller 32 closes the indoor expansion valve 8 again. In such an open/close control state, when a predetermined recovery condition is satisfied, the heat pump controller 32 recovers to the above-described normal control state. The recovery condition is, for example, that the absorber temperature Te rises to a temperature higher than the predetermined value t2, or that a predetermined time has elapsed in addition to this.
As described in detail above, the heat pump controller 32 constituting the control device 11 sets the indoor expansion valve 8 to the fully closed state when the heat sink temperature Te is lower than the predetermined value t1, and therefore, can stop the flow of the refrigerant to the heat sink 9 without decreasing the rotation speed NC of the compressor 2, and avoid the problem that the heat sink 9 freezes.
In this way, the disadvantage of the air volume drop in the vehicle interior is also eliminated, and the target blowout temperature can be smoothly achieved when the rotation speed NC of the compressor 2 is controlled based on the radiator pressure pp (an index capable of grasping the temperature of the air blown into the vehicle interior) as in the example.
In this case, in the embodiment, the heat pump controller 32 enlarges the valve opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve 6 as the heat absorber temperature Te decreases, and when the outdoor expansion valve 6 is set to the maximum opening degree and the heat absorber temperature Te is lower than the predetermined value t1, the indoor expansion valve 8 is set to be fully closed, so that the decrease in the heat absorber temperature Te is handled by the outdoor expansion valve 6 while the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing to the heat absorber 9 can be controlled by the control of the outdoor expansion valve 6, and when the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing to the heat absorber 9 is reduced by the outdoor expansion valve 6 to reach the limit, the flow of the refrigerant into the heat absorber 9 can be stopped by the indoor expansion valve 8.
In particular, in the embodiment, the heat pump controller 32 reduces the opening degree of the indoor expansion valve 8 from the valve opening degree 2 to the valve opening degree 3 when the outdoor expansion valve 6 is set to the maximum opening degree, and sets the indoor expansion valve 8 to be fully closed when the heat absorber temperature Te is lower than the predetermined value t1, so that if the heat absorber temperature Te can be made not lower than the predetermined value t1 by reducing the valve opening degree of the indoor expansion valve 8, it is not necessary to set the indoor expansion valve 8 to be fully closed. Therefore, the dehumidification capability of the vehicle interior can be maintained while preventing the freezing of the heat absorber 9.
In the embodiment, when the indoor expansion valve 8 is fully closed and then the heat absorber temperature Te exceeds the predetermined value t1 or exceeds the predetermined value t2 higher than the predetermined value t1, the heat pump controller 32 opens the indoor expansion valve 8 at the predetermined valve opening 3, and therefore, when the indoor expansion valve 8 is fully closed and then the heat absorber temperature Te increases, it is possible to restart the supply of the refrigerant to the heat absorber 9 without any obstruction and start the dehumidification of the vehicle interior.
The configuration and the numerical values of the refrigerant circuit R described in the embodiment and the conditions for the transition (changeover) related to the control of the outdoor expansion valve 6 and the indoor expansion valve 8 are not limited to these, and may be changed within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. In the embodiment, the present invention has been described with respect to the vehicle air conditioner 1 having the respective operation modes such as the heating mode, the dehumidification cooling mode, the air conditioner (priority) +the battery cooling mode, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and is also effective in, for example, a vehicle air conditioner capable of performing the dehumidification heating mode and the dehumidification cooling mode.
