A refrigeration cycle device includes a refrigeration cycle formed by connecting a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator to each other. As a refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle, a working fluid containing 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene (R1123) and difluoromethane (R32) is used. A degree of opening of the expansion valve is controlled such that the refrigerant has two phases at a suction portion of the compressor.

Refrigeration cycle device using working fluid containing 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene (R1123) and difluoromethane (R32)

A compressor uses a refrigerant containing R1123 (1,1,2-trifluoroethylene) as a working fluid, and uses a polyol ester oil as a compressor lubricating oil. In addition, a fixed scroll and a revolving scroll each having a spiral lap rising from an end plate, and a compression chamber which is formed by meshing the fixed scroll and the revolving scroll, are provided. In addition, a discharge hole which is provided at a center position of the end plate of the fixed scroll, and is open to a discharge chamber, a bypass hole which is provided in the end plate of the fixed scroll, and communicates with the compression chamber and the discharge chamber at a timing different from a timing at which the compression chamber communicates with the discharge hole, and a check valve which is provided in the bypass hole, and allows a flow from the compression chamber side to the discharge chamber side.

An air conditioner includes a refrigerant charge port provided in an outdoor liquid-side connection valve or an outdoor gas-side connection valve, a liquid-side valve provided between the outdoor liquid-side connection valve and an expansion valve, and a gas-side valve between the indoor gas-side connection valve and a compressor. When an outdoor unit and indoor unit are separated, the liquid-side and gas-side valves are closed, and a refrigerant is charged into an outdoor connection pipe that is closed by the liquid-side valve and the gas-side valve. A control unit is adapted to close the refrigerant charge port, and then open the liquid-side valve and the gas-side valve when a pressure detector detects a predetermined degree of vacuum.

Refrigeration cycle apparatus

In the case of gas injection, a discharging temperature is not reduced sufficiently, and if an amount of injection is increased, a liquid refrigerant flows into a cylinder and the liquid is compressed, and the reliability can not be ensured. A refrigerator wherein at least a compressor, a radiator, a first throttle apparatus and an evaporator are connected to one another in an annular form to constitute a main circuit of a refrigeration cycle, a refrigerant which can be brought into a supercritical state by the radiator during operation is charged into the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerator comprises an injection pipe for injecting the refrigerant on the side of an outlet of the radiator into a cylinder of the compressor.

A refrigeration cycle apparatus using carbon dioxide as a refrigerant has a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an expander, an indoor heat exchanger and an auxiliary compressor. The auxiliary compressor is driven by power recover by the expander. When refrigerant flows using the indoor heat exchanger as an evaporator, a discharge side of the auxiliary compressor becomes a suction side of the compressor, and when refrigerant flows using the indoor heat exchanger as a gas cooler, a discharge side of the compressor becomes a suction side of the auxiliary compressor.

It is an object of the invention to provide an inexpensive double-pipe heat exchanger having high performance and comprising an inner pipe and an outer pipe which constitute a double pipe without adding a heat-transfer facilitating material such as an inner fin. In the double-pipe heat exchanger having the inner pipe and the outer pipe, the outer pipe is dented from its outside toward its inside, thereby forming a plurality of projections which are dented toward the inner pipe. Examples of shapes of the projection are substantially conical shape, substantially truncated shape, substantially spherical surface shape, substantially cylindrical shape, substantially elliptic cylindrical shape and the like. The projections are disposed helically or in a staggered configuration such as to surround the inner pipe. With this structure, only by subjecting the outer pipe to simple working such as press working, it is possible to increase the turbulent flow of fluid flowing between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, and to facilitate heat transfer from fluid flowing in the inner pipe to fluid flowing between the inner pipe and the outer pipe.

Determining method of high pressure of refrigeration cycle apparatus

Qualitative relations between changes in a charge voltage, a developer bias voltage and an exposure light intensity control voltage and change in an image density are investigated in advance, and a density error is derived by a difference between the density of the image of a reference mark and a target density. Respective variations of the charge voltage, developer bias voltage and exposure light intensity control voltage are derived on the basis of the qualitative relations and the density error, and thereby the charge voltage, developer bias voltage and exposure light intensity voltage are changed so as to decrease the density error.
