An ejector cycle system with a refrigerant cycle through which refrigerant flows includes an ejector disposed downstream of a radiator, a first evaporator that evaporates refrigerant flowing out of the ejector, a throttling unit located in a branch passage and depressurizes refrigerant to adjust a flow rate of refrigerant, and a second evaporator located downstream of the throttling unit. In the ejector cycle system, a flow ratio adjusting means adjusts a flow ratio between a first refrigerant flow amount depressurized and expanded in a nozzle portion of the ejector and a second refrigerant flow amount drawn into a refrigerant suction port of the ejector, based on a physical quantity related to at least one of a state of refrigerant in the refrigerant cycle, a temperature of a space to be cooled by the first and second evaporators, and an ambient temperature of the space.

Ejector cycle system

An ejector cycle system with a refrigerant cycle through which refrigerant flows includes an ejector disposed downstream of a radiator, a first evaporator located to evaporate refrigerant flowing out of the ejector, a branch passage branched from a branch portion between the radiator and a nozzle portion of the ejector and coupled to a refrigerant suction port of the ejector, a throttling unit located in the branch passage, and a second evaporator located downstream of the throttling unit to evaporate refrigerant. In the ejector cycle system, a variable throttling device is located in a refrigerant passage between a refrigerant outlet of the radiator and the branch portion to decompress the refrigerant flowing out of the radiator.

An ejector type refrigerating cycle comprises a compressor, a heat radiating device, an ejector, and a first vaporizing device, which are connected in a circuit to form a refrigerating cycle. A bypass passage is provided between an inlet port and a suction port of the ejector, so that a part of the refrigerant is bifurcated to flow through the bypass passage. A second vaporizing device is provided in the bypass passage. An internal heat exchanger is further provided between an outlet side of the heat radiating device and the inlet side of the ejector, so that the enthalpy of the high-pressure refrigerant from the heat radiating device is reduced, to thereby increase an enthalpy difference between the inlet side and outlet side of the first and second vaporizing devices. As a result, the cooling capability by the both vaporizing devices can be improved.

Ejector type refrigerating cycle

An ejector cycle device includes an ejector having a nozzle portion which decompresses refrigerant flowing out of a radiator, a first evaporator for evaporating refrigerant from the ejector, and a second evaporator provided in a branch passage that is branched from a position between the refrigerant radiator and the ejector and is connected to a refrigerant suction port of the ejector. Furthermore, a throttle member is disposed in the branch passage to decompress refrigerant and adjust a flow amount of refrigerant, and the second evaporator is disposed in the branch passage between the throttle member and the refrigerant suction port. In the ejector cycle device having both the first and second evaporators, a defrosting operation of one the first and second evaporators can be performed while the other one of the first and second evaporators is operated to have a cooling function.
