By second gas-liquid separator, 49 isolated liquid phase refrigerants, via liquid phase pipe arrangement 53,, pass through capillary 55 again as decompressor through behind the drier 54, flow into second intermediate heat exchanger 56.By second gas-liquid separator, 54 isolated vapor phase refrigerant, flowing through in second intermediate heat exchanger 56 via gas phase pipe arrangement 57, flowing through again and be cooled in the process in the 3rd, the 4th intermediate heat exchanger 58,59 and liquefy, via pipe arrangement 68 and through drier 60, flow into capillary 61 as decompressor.Capillary 61 is connected with evaporation tube 62 as evaporimeter, and then evaporation tube 62 is connected with the 4th intermediate heat exchanger 59 via returning pipe arrangement 69.
The 4th intermediate heat exchanger 59 is connected with the suction side pipe arrangement 20S of compressor 20 with after the 3rd, second and first intermediate heat exchanger 58,56,48 is connected successively.Further be connected with the expansion drum 65 that stores cold-producing medium when compressor 20 stops via the capillary 66 as decompressor on the pipe arrangement 20S of suction side, being connected in parallel on this capillary 66 with the direction of expansion drum 65 is the check valve 67 of forward.
In the low temperature side refrigerant loop 38,, enclose the mixed non-azeotropic refrigerant that contains R245fa, R600, R404A, R508, R14, R50, R740 as seven kinds of different mix refrigerants of boiling point.R245fa is 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (CF
3CH
2CHF
2), R600 is butane (CH
3CH
2CH
2CH
3).The boiling point of R245fa is that+15.3 ℃, the boiling point of R600 are-0.5 ℃.Therefore, by they are mixed to scale, then can replace the boiling point that in the past used to use for+8.9 ℃ R21.
In addition,, to scale, for example be 70/30 ratio in the present embodiment, it is mixed with non-flame properties R245fa, thus it is enclosed in the refrigerant loop 38 as the noninflammability compounding substances in R245fa/R600 because R600 is inflammable substance.In addition, in the present embodiment, add together gross weight, R245fa is set at 70 weight %, but, therefore, also can be set at more than the 70 weight % owing to, then have noninflammability all the more if surpass this percentage by weight with respect to R245fa and R600.
R404A is by R125 (pentafluoroethane: CHF
2CF
3), R143a (1,1,1-HFC-143a: CH
3CF
3), R134a (1,1,1,2-HFC-134a: CH
2FCF
3) constitute, it consists of: the R143a of the R125 of 44 weight %, 52 weight %, the R134a of 4 weight %.The boiling point of this mix refrigerant is-46.48 ℃.Therefore, can replace the boiling point that in the past used to use for-40.8 ℃ R22.
R508 is by R23 (fluoroform: CHF
3), R116 (hexafluoroethane: CF
3CF
3) constitute, its component is: the R116 of the R23 of 39 weight %, 61 weight %.The boiling point of this mix refrigerant is-88.64 ℃.
R14 is a carbon tetrafluoride (carbon tetrafluoride: CF
4), R50 is methane (CH
4), R740 is argon (Ar).Their boiling point is respectively: R14 is-185.86 ℃ for-127.9 ℃, R50 for-161.5 ℃, R740.In addition, R50 and combination with oxygen and have the danger of blasting, but by it is mixed the danger that does not just have blast with R14.Therefore, even the leakage accident of mix refrigerant takes place, can not blast yet.
In addition, aforesaid these cold-producing mediums, temporarily in advance R245fa is mixed with R50 with R600, R14, after making it become not combustion state, under the mixed state of mix refrigerant, R740 with mix refrigerant, R404A, R508A, R14 and the R50 of R245fa and R600 in advance, enclosed in the refrigerant loop.Perhaps, pressing the height order of boiling point, at first enclose R245fa and R600, secondly is R404A, R508A, R14, R50, is R740 at last.The composition of each cold-producing medium for example is set at: the mix refrigerant of R245fa and R600 is that 10.3 weight %, R404A are that 28 weight %, R508A are that the mix refrigerant of 29.2 weight %, R14 and R50 is that 26.4 weight %, R740 are 5.1 weight %.
In addition, in the present embodiment, also can in R404A, add the pentane (the relative gross weight of non-azeotropic refrigerant is positioned at the scope of 0.5~2 weight %) of 4 weight %.
The circulation of low temperature side cold-producing medium then, is described.The gas shape mix refrigerant of the HTHP of discharging from compressor 20 dispels the heat via discharging in the side line 20D inflow radiator 39, and the mix refrigerant mid-boiling point is high and as the pentane of the good oily carrier cold-producing medium of oil phase dissolubility and a part of condensation liquefaction of R600.
Flow in the oil eliminator 40 through the mix refrigerant behind the radiator 39, with the most of of compressor 20 lubricating oil of refrigerant mixed and the part (part of pentane, R600) by the cold-producing medium behind radiator 39 condensation liquefactions, turn back to compressor 20 by oil return pipe 41.Thus, the low boiling point refrigerant that purity is higher, than tandem type heat exchanger 43 more by flowing in the refrigerant loop 38 in downstream, thereby can obtain ultralow temperature effectively.Thus, even the compressor of equal-wattage 10,20 can be the ultralow temperature that storeroom 4 inside are cooled to regulation with the object that is cooled of bigger volume also, can seek increase and take in capacity and need not make refrigerating plant 1 whole the maximization.
At this, in the present embodiment, the cold-producing medium that flows in the oil eliminator 40 is temporarily cooled off by radiator 39, therefore, can reduce the refrigerant temperature that enters tandem type heat exchanger 43.Specifically, the refrigerant temperature that in the past flowed in the tandem type heat exchanger 43 is about+65 ℃, in the present embodiment, it can be reduced to+about 45 ℃.
Therefore, in tandem type heat exchanger 43, can alleviate the load on the compressor that is applied to the high temperature side refrigerant loop 25 that is used to cool off the cold-producing medium in the low temperature side refrigerant loop 35.In addition, owing to the cold-producing medium that can effectively cool off in the low temperature side refrigerant loop 35, so, can alleviate the load that is applied on the compressor 20 that constitutes low temperature side refrigerant loop 35.Thus, can realize the improvement of refrigerating plant 1 overall operation efficient.
Other mix refrigerant utilizes evaporimeter 34 to be cooled to about-40 ℃~-30 ℃ in tandem type heat exchanger 43 certainly, thus the part of refrigerant that the mix refrigerant mid-boiling point is high (part of R245fa, R600, R404A, R508) condensation liquefaction.And the mix refrigerant from the condenser pipe 42 of tandem type heat exchanger 43 flows out flows into first gas-liquid separator 46 through drier 44.At this moment, because R14, R50 and R740 boiling point in the mix refrigerant are extremely low, therefore be in the gaseous state that is not condensed as yet, the liquefaction that is condensed of the part of R245fa, R600, R404A, R508 is only arranged, so, R14, R50, R740 are split in the gas phase pipe arrangement 47, and R245fa, R600, R404A, R508 are split in the liquid phase pipe arrangement 50.
The refrigerant mixture and first intermediate heat exchanger 48 that flow into gas phase pipe arrangement 47 carry out heat exchange and after being condensed, arrive second gas-liquid separator 49.At this, the low temperature cold-producing medium that returns by evaporation tube 62 flows into first intermediate heat exchanger 48, and then, the liquid refrigerant that flows into liquid phase pipe arrangement 50 is through drier 51, in capillary 52, be depressurized the back and flow into first heat exchanger 48 and be evaporated, cool off thus, so, the result that the part of uncooled R14, R50, R740 and R508 is cooled off is that the medium temperature of first intermediate heat exchanger 48 reaches about-60 ℃.Therefore, by the liquefaction that is condensed fully of the R508 in the mix refrigerant of gas phase pipe arrangement 47, and be diverted in second gas-liquid separator 49.Because the boiling point of R14, R50, R740 is lower, so still be gaseous state.
In second intermediate heat exchanger 56, utilize drier 54 to remove moisture by the R508 after 49 shuntings of second gas-liquid separator also by after capillary 55 decompressions, flow into second intermediate heat exchanger 56, it cools off the R14 the gas phase pipe arrangement 57, R50 and R740 in the lump with the low-temperature refrigerant that returns from evaporation tube 62, makes the highest R14 condensation of evaporating temperature during this period.Consequently, the medium temperature of second intermediate heat exchanger 56 reaches about-90 ℃.
By the gas phase pipe arrangement 57 of this second intermediate heat exchanger 56, then through the 3rd intermediate heat exchanger 58 and by the 4th intermediate heat exchanger 59.At this, just the cold-producing medium that flows out from evaporimeter 62 turns back to the 4th intermediate heat exchanger 59, and according to experiment, the medium temperature of the 4th intermediate heat exchanger 59 reaches-130 ℃ of low-down temperature in the left and right sides.
Therefore, in the 4th intermediate heat exchanger 59, a part of condensation of R50 in the gas phase pipe arrangement 57 and R740 is after R14, a R50 after these liquefaction and the part of R740 are removed moisture by drier 60 and passed through capillary 61 decompressions, flow into evaporation tube 62 and evaporation, thus to around cool off.According to experiment, at this moment, the temperature of evaporation tube 62 reaches-160.3 ℃~-157.3 ℃ ultralow temperature.
Like this, utilize the poor of each cold-producing medium evaporating temperature in the low temperature side refrigerant loop 38, in each intermediate heat exchanger 48,56,58,59, make the condensation of refrigerant that still is in gas phase state in succession, in the evaporation tube 42 of final stage, can reach the ultralow temperature below-150 ℃.Therefore, this evaporation tube 62 is reeled in the mode that can carry out heat exchange and is constituted along heat-insulating material 9 sides of interior case 6, thus, can realize the storehouse temperatures below-152 ℃ in the storeroom 4 of refrigerating plant 1.
The cold-producing medium that flows out from evaporation tube 62 flows into the 4th intermediate heat exchanger 59, the 3rd intermediate heat exchanger 58, second intermediate heat exchanger 56, first intermediate heat exchanger 48 successively, converge with the cold-producing medium after in each heat exchanger, evaporating, and return compressor 20 from sucking pipe arrangement 20S.
The oil of sneaking into the cold-producing medium and being discharged from from compressor 20, most of by returning compressor 20 after oil eliminator 40 separation, but become oil vaporific and that from oil eliminator 40, discharge in the lump with cold-producing medium, be added to the high R600 of the intermiscibility of oil in state return compressor 20.Thus, can prevent the insufficient lubrication or the locking of compressor 20.In addition, because R600 directly returns compressor 20 with liquid condition and is evaporated, therefore can reduce the discharge temperature of compressor 20 in this compressor 20.
As mentioned above, utilize not shown control device,, the compressor 20 that constitutes low temperature side refrigerant loop 38 is carried out ON-OFF control based on the storehouse temperature in the storeroom 4.In this case, if utilize control device to stop the running of compressor 20, then the mix refrigerant in the low temperature side refrigerant loop 38 is the check valve 67 of forward via the direction with expansion drum 65, is recycled in the expansion drum 65.
Therefore, when stopping with compressor 20, cold-producing medium is compared via the situation that capillary 66 is recycled in the expansion drum 65, can extremely promptly via check valve 67 refrigerant-recovery in the refrigerant loop 38 be arrived in the expansion drum 65.
Thus, can prevent that the pressure in the refrigerant loop 38 from rising, when utilizing control device starting compressor 20, at leisure cold-producing medium be turned back to the refrigerant loop 38 from expansion drum 65, thus, can alleviate the starting load of compressor 20 via capillary 66.
Therefore, by promptly carry out compressor 20 when stopping cold-producing medium to the recovery of expansion drum 65, thereby can make the pressure in the refrigerant loop 38 promptly reach balance, when resetting compressor 20, can successfully carry out resetting of compressor 20 and can not apply load compressor 20.Thus, reach the needed time of equalizing pressure in the refrigerant loop 38 during by remarkable shortening compressor start, thereby, the running efficiency of compressor 20 can be improved, for example can shorten the needed time of the running that descends (プ Le ダ ウ ン ?translocation), can improve convenience.
On the other hand, as mentioned above, in the refrigerant loop of refrigerating plant 1, reach-160.3 ℃~-157.3 ℃ such ultralow temperature in the evaporation tube 62 of low temperature side refrigerant loop 38, also reach the low temperature about-40 ℃~-30 ℃ in the tandem type heat exchanger 43.And first intermediate heat exchanger 48 reaches about-60 ℃, and second intermediate heat exchanger 56 reaches about-90 ℃, and the 3rd, the 4th intermediate heat exchanger 58,59 reaches the ultralow temperature about-130 ℃.Therefore, the evaporation tube 62 in being provided in body of thermal insulating box 2,, also need to carry out fully insulation to other heat exchangers 43 etc.
Therefore, these tandem type heat exchangers 43 and the first, second, third and the 4th intermediate heat exchanger are arranged to utilize heat-insulating material to be trapped among around them and are constituted the insulated structure 70 of cuboid.Fig. 7 represents the stereogram of insulated structure 70, and Fig. 8 represents to remove the stereogram of the state behind the heat-insulating material of insulated structure 70.
At this, the detailed structure of insulated structure 70 is described.In addition, the part that with dashed lines surrounds among Fig. 6, promptly except that above-mentioned heat exchanger, also comprise accumulator 35, the capillary 33 that constitutes high temperature side refrigerant loop 25, drier 44, each gas-liquid separator 46,49, drier 51,54, the capillary 52,55 that constitutes low temperature side refrigerant loop 38, they constitute this insulated structure 70.End at insulated structure 70 is equipped with tandem type heat exchanger 43, and each intermediate heat exchanger 48,56,58,59 is positioned at the side of this tandem type heat exchanger 43, and is layeredly and sets.
Each intermediate heat exchanger 48,56,58,59 is made of dual spiral tube structure, promptly, the outer side line that diameter is bigger is shape ground multilayer-wound and constitute flat in the shape of a spiral, make their mutual coincidences, its inboard is reserved at interval, and side line also passed through the inboard of each intermediate heat exchanger 48,56,58,59 in each gas phase pipe arrangement 47,57 became.In the present embodiment, according to begin temperature order from low to high from lower floor, that is, orlop disposes the 4th, the 3rd intermediate heat exchanger 59,58, configuration second intermediate heat exchanger 56 on it, and the superiors dispose first intermediate heat exchanger 48.
