本実施形態では、図9に示すように、第1実施形態のエジェクタ式冷凍サイクル10に対して、合流部13bの接続態様を変更したものである。具体的には、本実施形態では、気液分離器15の気相冷媒流出口に合流部13bの一方の冷媒流入口側を接続し、第2蒸発器18の冷媒出口に合流部13bの他方の冷媒流入口側を接続している。さらに、合流部13bの冷媒流出口に圧縮機11の吸入口側を接続している。その他のエジェクタ式冷凍サイクル10の構成は第1実施形態と同様である。
第6~第9実施形態では、第2実施形態で説明した内部熱交換器19を備えるエジェクタ式冷凍サイクル10の変形例について説明する。
本実施形態のエジェクタ式冷凍サイクル10では、図15の全体構成図に示すように、上流側分岐部13aの一方の冷媒流出口に高圧側固定絞り16aを介して第1蒸発器17の冷媒入口側を接続され、上流側分岐部13aの他方の冷媒流出口に第2高圧側固定絞り16dを介して第2蒸発器18の冷媒入口側を接続している。この第2高圧側固定絞り16dの基本的構成は、高圧側固定絞り16aと同様である。

第13~第17実施形態では、第12実施形態で説明した、上流側エジェクタ14の上流側ディフューザ部42bの出口側に第1蒸発器17の冷媒入口側が接続され、第1蒸発器17の冷媒出口側に下流側エジェクタ20の下流側ノズル部21の冷媒流入口21a側が接続されたエジェクタ式冷凍サイクル10の変形例について説明する。
第18実施形態では、第3実施形態のエジェクタ式冷凍サイクル10に対して、図24の全体構成図に示すように、下流側エジェクタ20の接続態様を変更している。具体的には、本実施形態では、気液分離器15の気相冷媒流出口に下流側エジェクタ20の下流側冷媒吸引口22a側が接続され、第2蒸発器18の冷媒出口に下流側エジェクタ20の下流側ノズル部21の冷媒流入口21a側が接続されている。
第20実施形態では、第12実施形態のエジェクタ式冷凍サイクル10に対して、図26の全体構成図に示すように、下流側エジェクタ20の接続態様を変更している。具体的には、本実施形態では、第1蒸発器17の冷媒出口に下流側エジェクタ20の下流側冷媒吸引口22a側が接続され、第3蒸発器23の冷媒出口に下流側エジェクタ20の下流側ノズル部21の冷媒流入口21a側が接続されている。このようなサイクル構成としても第12実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができる。
本実施形態では、第9実施形態に対して、図32の全体構成図に示すように、上流側エジェクタ14、下流側エジェクタ20、および内部熱交換器19を備えるエジェクタ式冷凍サイクル10のサイクル構成を変更している。
また、本実施形態のエジェクタ式冷凍サイクル10では、合流部13bにて、気液分離器15にて分離された気相冷媒の流れと、下流側ディフューザ部22bから流出した気液二相冷媒の流れを合流させるので、内部熱交換器19の低圧冷媒通路へ流入する低圧冷媒を気液二相状態とすることができる。
本開示は上述の実施形態に限定されることなく、本開示の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲内で、以下のように種々変形可能である。また、上記各実施形態に開示された手段は、実施可能な範囲で適宜組み合わせてもよい。
