In order to provide a refrigeration cycle device that is compact and efficiently utilizing an expansion machine and reduced in manufacturing cost through the use of a first compressor and second compressor driven by an expansion machine, a heat radiator and an on-off valve are disposed between the first and the second compressors and the second heat radiator is utilized irrespective of the operating mode such as the cooling or heating operation. Also, the heat transfer area ratio, which is a ratio of the heat transfer area of the second heat source side heat exchanger relative to the total heat transfer area of the heat transfer areas of said first and second heat source side heat exchangers, is set, according to the air speed distribution, within a range at which the COP is at its peak. Thus, the second heat source side heat exchanger can be utilized even during the heating operation, providing a high efficiency refrigeration cycle device.

Refrigeration cycle device

A refrigeration cycle apparatus which is capable of performing matching of the volumetric flow rate without performing pre-expansion it obtained. A refrigeration circuit includes a compression unit including a main compressor and a second compressor, a gas cooler, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator interconnected with pipes, and a sub-compression mechanism driven by power recovered by the expansion mechanism, a suction side of the sub-compression mechanism is connected to a compression process of the compression unit, a discharge side of the sub-compression mechanism is connected to an inlet side of the gas cooler, and flow rate of refrigerant flowing into the sub-compression mechanism is controlled.

Refrigeration cycle apparatus

A scroll fluid machine that suppresses fluctuations in a port aperture area during each revolution of an orbiting scroll. Suction ports for sucking in a working fluid are disposed on a second base plate to have openings in a vicinity of a winding start end portion of a second spiral tooth, and near an inward facing surface of the second spiral tooth at a position separated by an involute angle approximately 90&#xb0; from the winding start end portion of the second spiral tooth. Discharge ports for discharging the working fluid are disposed on a first base plate to have openings in a vicinity of a winding start end portion of a first spiral tooth, and near an inward facing surface of the first spiral tooth at a position separated by an involute angle approximately 90&#xb0; from the winding start end portion of the first spiral tooth.

A heat transport device includes a container having a hollow structure including a fluid channel, at least one thermal-receiver heat exchanger and one thermal-radiator heat exchanger arranged side-by-side on an outer wall of the container along the fluid channel, and driving heat exchangers at respective terminal portions of the container. In this heat transport device, both ends of the fluid channel are closed to prevent intrusion of external air, and a liquid and a gas are sealed in the fluid channel. The driving heat exchangers cause the liquid to oscillate in the container along the internal fluid channel. The heat transport device provides low acoustic noise performance, improved temperature controllability, high heat transportation and heat radiating capacities, and improved heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics.

An accumulator is capable of preventing an excessive enlargement of the flow rate of a liquid refrigerant which is discharged from the accumulator, reducing the quantity of refrigerating machine oil which is accumulated in the accumulator, and maintaining a required quantity of refrigerating machine oil in a compressor. Liquid and a gas which circulate in a refrigerating and air-conditioning circuit are introduced into a first space by a suction pipe, and the gas refrigerant is discharged to a refrigerating and air-conditioning circuit through a gas passage pipe, a second space and a discharge pipe 5. A liquid-level maintaining mechanism prevents a rise in the height of the accumulated liquid introduced into the first space. When the height has been made to be not lower than a predetermined height, a gas communication mechanism moves liquid in the first space from the first space to the second space. A returning mechanism discharges refrigerating machine oil accumulated in the first space to the refrigerating and air-conditioning circuit.

Accumulator

In an accumulator constituting a refrigerating cycle apparatus, a high liquid-level auxiliary pipe (14a) and a low liquid-level auxiliary pipe (14b), which act as oil recovery pipes, and each of which is provided with a plurality of oil recovery holes (10a), are attached to a discharge pipe (12) in positions so as to be different vertically from each other, so that lubricating oil can be surely recovered through the oil recovery holes.

Accumlator

In an accumulator, an oil collecting pipe is held in a sealed vessel with the lower end thereof closed, the pipe has a plurality of oil collecting apertures spaced in a vertical direction and a communication port for communicating with a discharge pipe. The communication port is disposed in the vicinity of the lowermost oil collecting aperture or to the downstream side of the aperture. Therefore, excessive liquid refrigerant flow from the accumulator is prevented even if a large amount of the liquid refrigerant resides in the sealed vessel.
