- (C) Compactness and improvement of manufacturability by using a laminated body A laminated structure in which an evaporator / condenser, a liquid-gas heat exchanger, and a blower are laminated together to form a compact structure. Moreover, since it manufactures collectively, without manufacturing separately, it becomes easy to manufacture. In particular, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 6, it can be expected that the manufacturability is further improved by arranging the units so that the shapes and sizes are substantially the same.

As a result, the number of fans can be reduced, thereby reducing the energy required for blowing the fans. Basically, the number of fans can be halved.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described conditions, and the configuration shown in FIG. 3 may be used.
- ⁇ T1 Tra-Toa (temperature difference between return air and outside air)
- ⁇ ⁇ T2 Tra-Tsa (temperature difference between return air and supply air) It is defined as
- Qr indicates the minimum cooling capacity of the general air conditioner.
- Qr is the cooling capacity of the general air conditioner when the rotation speed of the compressor 55 is operated at the minimum rotation speed. Is different for each device, but is known in advance and is therefore stored in advance).
- the Qr can also be said to be the cooling capacity of a general air conditioner during mode B operation.
- Q2 means the cooling capacity to be supplied by the indirect outside air cooler in mode B. Therefore, if Qi ⁇ Q2, even if the indirect outside air cooler is operated at the maximum capacity, “the cooling capacity of the indirect outside air cooler + the cooling capacity Qr of the general air conditioner” is lower than the required cooling capacity Qreq. The required cooling capacity cannot be supplied. Therefore, as described later, in this case, the operation mode is changed from mode B to mode C.
- Q1, Q2, and Q4 may be regarded as dynamically determined threshold values.
- the reason for using two of Q1 and Q4 for the operation mode change determination between mode A and mode B is to prevent hunting. However, the present invention is not limited to this example.
- the power consumption of the compressor 55, the blower 71c, and the circulation pump 53 has the following relationship relatively.
- the thresholds Q1, Q2, and Q4 may be regarded as variables).
- the conditions for determination differ depending on the current operation mode. For example, the “current operation mode” is stored, and the “current operation mode” is updated when the following operation modes are changed. For example, when changing from the following mode A to mode B, the “current operation mode” that was mode A until then is updated to mode B.
- conditions for determining whether to change from mode C to mode B are as follows.
- the operation mode is changed to mode D. That is, since the outside air temperature is higher than the warm air temperature, the indirect outside air cooler does not function. If the indirect outside air cooler is operated in such a state, the warm air cannot be cooled, and the temperature is raised. In such a case, by shifting to mode D, the indirect outside air cooler is stopped and the general air conditioner is operated alone. Then, the “current operation mode” is updated to mode D.
- the operation mode change determination method is not limited to the above example.
- the method described below may be used.
- ⁇ is, for example, about 0.5 to 1 ° C.
- a temperature within this temperature range is called a predetermined temperature.
- the operation mode for example, the general air conditioner is not operated. Or the general air conditioner is operated but the minimum capacity is constant, etc.), and the supply air temperature Tsa cannot be maintained at a predetermined temperature. obtain. In such a case, the operation mode may be changed.
- the supply air temperature Tsa is basically set to a predetermined temperature (Tsaset ⁇ ⁇ ; temperature upper limit value Tsamax to temperature lower limit value). Tsamin) is adjusted and controlled. However, depending on the situation such as when the outside air temperature is high, the supply air temperature Tsa may not reach the predetermined temperature even when the indirect outside air cooler is operated at the maximum capacity. In such a case, by changing the operation mode to mode B, it is possible to cope by operating both the indirect outside air cooler and the general air conditioner.
- the determination for changing the operation mode and the operation mode change may be performed as follows, for example.
- Tsa> Tsamax If “Tsa> Tsamax”, that is, if the supply air temperature Tsa cannot be maintained at the predetermined temperature even if the indirect outside air cooler is operated at the maximum capacity as described above (the upper temperature limit). When the value Tsamax is exceeded), the operation mode is changed to mode B. At this time, it is desirable that at least one of the circulation pump 53 and the blower 71c has the minimum number of rotations. Then, the “current operation mode” is updated to mode B.
- the conditions for determining whether or not to change to mode C are the same as in the case of mode A to mode B, and are as follows.
- the operation mode is changed to mode C. That is, as described above, in mode B, the general air conditioner is always operated with the lowest cooling capacity, and the cooling capacity of the indirect outside air cooler is adjusted and controlled. In this state, even if the indirect outside air cooler is operated at the maximum capacity, the supply air temperature Tsa cannot be maintained within the predetermined temperature range (if the temperature upper limit value Tsamax is exceeded; If it is insufficient), the operation mode is changed to mode C. That is, the restriction that “general air conditioners operate with the lowest capacity” is lifted. Then, the “current operation mode” is updated to mode C.
- mode B it is further determined whether or not to change to mode A.
- the conditions for this determination are, for example, as follows.
- Tsa ⁇ Tsamin If “Tsa ⁇ Tsamin”, the operation mode is changed to mode A. That is, as described above, in mode B, the indirect outside air cooler is adjusted and controlled by the general air conditioner minimum capacity operation. In this state, even if the cooling capacity of the indirect outside air cooler is minimized, if the supply air temperature Tsa cannot be kept within the predetermined temperature range (if the temperature falls below the lower temperature limit Tsamin); If it is excessive), the operation of the general air conditioner is stopped (the operation mode is changed to mode A). Then, the “current operation mode” is updated to mode A.
- mode B first, “Tsamin ⁇ Tsa ⁇ Tsamax” is determined. If this condition is satisfied, it is determined that the operation mode is not changed. If this condition is not satisfied, the operation mode is changed. May be determined to be performed. When the operation mode is changed, it is further determined whether the operation mode is changed to mode A or mode C by the above determination. This is the same when the “current operation mode” is mode C.
- the operation mode change determination when the “current operation mode” is mode C is the same as the mode B described above.
- Tsa> Tsamax If “Tsa> Tsamax”, the operation mode is changed to mode D. That is, in the mode C as described above, the indirect outside air cooler operates at the maximum capacity, and the general air conditioner operates normally without any restriction. Thus, in the case of “Tsa> Tsamax” in mode C, the supply air temperature Tsa cannot be kept within the predetermined temperature range even when both the general air conditioner and the indirect outside air cooler are operated at the maximum capacity. (Temperature upper limit value Tsamax is exceeded). Then, the “current operation mode” is updated to mode D.
- mode C it is further determined whether or not to change to mode B.
- the conditions for this determination are, for example, as follows.
- the supply air temperature Tsa is set to a predetermined temperature even if the cooling capacity of the general air conditioner is minimized, on condition that the indirect outside air cooler is always operated at the maximum capacity. I can't keep it. That is, it means that the temperature is lower than the temperature lower limit value Tsamin.
- mode A there may be a normal operation mode and an energy saving operation mode.
- the normal mode one of the circulation pump 53 and the blower 71c is operated at the maximum rotation speed.
- the circulation pump 53 is operated at the maximum number of revolutions.
- the blower 71c may be operated at the maximum number of revolutions.
- the energy saving operation mode one of the circulation pump 53 and the blower 71c is operated at the minimum number of rotations.
- the blower 71c is operated at the minimum number of revolutions.
- the circulation pump 53 may be operated at the minimum number of revolutions.
- the operation mode when the “current operation mode” is the energy saving operation mode in mode A, the operation mode is changed to the normal operation mode when “Tsa> Tsamax”.
- the “current operation mode” is the normal operation mode in mode A
- the operation mode is changed to the energy saving operation mode. In this case, it is further determined whether or not the operation mode is changed to the mode B during the normal operation mode, but this determination is not necessary during the energy saving operation mode.
- control method using the above configuration is, for example, (1) It has a plurality of operation modes, and among them, there is an operation mode in which an indirect outside air cooler and a refrigerator of a general air conditioner are used in combination. (3) A control method for setting the supply air temperature Tsa, which is the temperature of the blown air, to a predetermined temperature (Tsamin ⁇ Tsa ⁇ Tsamax). There are features such as the point of providing an appropriate control method for each mode.
- controlling “the number of revolutions” is substantially synonymous with controlling the “frequency”. This is because, for example, “frequency” is used as a control signal to the compressor, and as a result, “rotation speed” is controlled. Therefore, in the implementation of the present invention, “rotation speed” and “frequency” can be appropriately read and realized.
- FIG. 5 (a) shows an example of the operating state of each component under the above control.
- pump speed “outdoor fan speed”, and “compressor speed” are indicated by output 0% to 100%.
- the vehicle is in a stopped state, and when the output is 100%, the maximum capacity operation state is established.
- Pulp rotational speed is the rotational speed of the circulation pump 53
- Outdoor fan rotational speed is the rotational speed of the blower 71c
- Compressor rotational speed is the rotational speed of the compressor 55, and each rotational speed is output. It corresponds to.
- the maximum capacity Q (Qi) of indirect outdoor air cooling increases as it goes to the left side in the figure, and decreases as it goes to the right side.
- the Q (Qi) value is high, and the required cooling capacity Qreq can be covered only by the indirect outside air cooler, so the mode A is set.
- the compressor 55 is stopped and the “compressor rotational speed” is 0%.
- the region having a relatively high Q (Qi) value (the region on the left side in mode A in the drawing) is referred to as an energy saving operation mode.
- a region having a relatively low Q (Qi) value (a region on the right side in mode A in the drawing) is referred to as a normal operation mode.
- the “outdoor fan rotation speed” is operated at the minimum rotation speed, and the “pump rotation speed” is adjusted and controlled to control the temperature of the supply air temperature Tsa.
- the temperature control of the supply air temperature Tsa is control for maintaining the supply air temperature Tsa at a predetermined temperature based on a set value.
- the “pump speed” is operated at the maximum speed, and the “outdoor fan speed” is adjusted and controlled to control the temperature of the supply air temperature Tsa.
- the “compressor rotational speed” is constant at the minimum rotational speed
- “pump rotational speed” and “outdoor fan rotational speed” are “pump” in the example of FIG.
- the supply air temperature Tsa is temperature-controlled by operating the “revolution number” at the maximum revolution number and adjusting and controlling the “outdoor fan revolution number”. As described above, from the viewpoint of the energy saving effect, it is desirable to make maximum use of the circulation pump 53 that consumes relatively little power.
- the present invention is not limited to this example.
- the “outdoor fan rotation speed” is operated at the maximum rotation speed, and the “pump rotation speed” is adjusted and controlled to control the temperature of the supply air temperature Tsa. Good.
- both “pump speed” and “outdoor fan speed” are always operated at the maximum speed.
- mode D the indirect outside air cooler is in a stopped state, and therefore the “pump speed” is 0% (circulation pump 53 is stopped). However, the blower 71c does not stop for the above reason. In the illustrated example, the “outdoor fan rotation speed” is always 100%, but is not limited to this example. In any case, in mode D, the indirect outside air cooler is stopped, and the "compressor rotation speed" is adjusted and controlled to control the supply air temperature Tsa.
- the circulation pump 53, the blower 71c, and the compressor 55 all have a minimum rotational speed during operation. This is different for each device, in other words, the minimum output is rated.
- the required cooling capacity Qreq is constant and the return air temperature Tra is also constant.
- the value of the maximum capacity Q (Qi) of indirect outside air cooling is determined by the outside air temperature Toa.
- the operation mode change is determined by the Q (Qi) value.
- the indirect outside air cooler is naturally set to the maximum. There is no need to drive. That is, for example, as described above, the required cooling capacity Qreq can be provided even if both the “pump speed” and “outdoor fan speed” are the minimum speed.
- the Qi value gradually decreases as described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 (a)
- the “pump rotational speed” is first increased. Become. When the “pump rotational speed” reaches the maximum value (output 100%), this can be dealt with by increasing the “outdoor fan rotational speed”.
- threshold values Q1 and Q4 are used.
- one type of threshold value indicates that “the operation mode between mode A and mode B is different. This is because "change" may occur frequently.
- the compressor starts and stops frequently, a mechanical problem is likely to occur, causing a failure or the like, and therefore a time limit is generally provided.
- the threshold is Qreq, for example.
- Q1 and Q4 are values in the vicinity of Qreq based on Qreq, they may be regarded as being substantially equivalent to Qreq in a broad sense. The above “basically” intends this, and determines whether “Qi ⁇ Qreq” as described above.
- the output is reduced by decreasing the “pump speed” or “outdoor fan speed”.
- the “outdoor fan rotation speed” is set to the minimum rotation speed and the output is reduced.
- the “pump speed” is maintained at the maximum speed, but is not limited to this example.
- only the “pump speed” may be decreased and output may be reduced, and the “outdoor fan speed” may be maintained at the maximum speed.
- both the “pump speed” and the “outdoor fan speed” may be reduced to reduce the output.
- the “outdoor fan rotation speed” is output down to the minimum rotation speed, but this is not restrictive.
- the output may be reduced to a predetermined number of rotations set in advance. The same applies to the case where the output is decreased by decreasing the “pump speed”.
- the mode B is maintained as long as the necessary cooling capacity Qreq can be covered by the indirect outside air cooler and the general air conditioner operated at the minimum output. That is, basically, if Qi ⁇ Q2, the necessary cooling capacity Qreq can be covered by adjusting and controlling the “outdoor fan rotational speed”. However, if the condition of Qi ⁇ Q2 is satisfied, the required cooling capacity Qreq cannot be provided even if the “outdoor fan rotational speed” is also the maximum output by the maximum rotational speed.
- mode C when the condition of Qi ⁇ Q2 is reached, the operation mode is changed to mode C, thereby removing the above restriction of operating the general air conditioner at the lowest output. To do.
- mode C the gradual increase in the outside air temperature Toa can be handled by gradually increasing the “compressor rotation speed” and increasing the output as shown in the figure.
- mode C as shown in the figure, the indirect outside air cooler is always set to the maximum operation.
- the indirect outside air cooler is operating at the maximum cooling capacity Qi immediately before the operation mode is changed from mode A to mode B and in mode C.
- the operation mode change shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 (a) is basically “the operation mode change in the non-energy saving direction” from the left to the right in the figure, and from the right in the figure. It can be said that the operation mode change to the left is “operation mode change to energy saving direction”.
- FIG. 5B shows the relationship between the temperature difference “Tra-Toa” between the outside air and the warm air and the maximum capacity Q (Qi) of the indirect outside air cooling, and the operation mode change according to each threshold.
- the horizontal axis represents the temperature difference “Tra-Toa”, and the vertical axis represents the maximum capacity Q (Qi) of indirect outdoor air cooling.
- the horizontal axis may be replaced with “Toa when Tra is constant”.
- the temperature difference “Tra ⁇ Toa” increases as it goes to the left in the figure.
- the maximum indirect outside air cooling capacity Q (Qi) increases as the temperature difference “Tra ⁇ Toa” between the outside air temperature Tra and the supply air temperature Toa increases.
- the maximum capacity Q (Qi) of indirect outside air cooling is a negative value, for example.
- the indirect outside air cooler does not have a cooling function, and when it is operated, the inside air is heated. For this reason, the indirect outside air cooler is in a stopped state.
- the operation mode is changed to mode B.
- the example 1 has been described above.
- the indirect outside air cooler cannot be operated at the maximum capacity, particularly in the mode B.
- ability means “cooling capability”.
- a tank 22, a third heat exchanger 23, a three-way valve 21 and the like, which will be described later in detail, are provided. Control such as a case where the compressor 55 may be stopped is performed.

Then, it is determined whether or not the evaporator rear stage air temperature Tss exceeds the temperature upper limit value Tsamax, that is, whether or not “evaporator rear stage air temperature> temperature upper limit value (Tss> Tsamax)” (step S22).
- the “temperature upper limit value” and the “temperature lower limit value” to be described later are determined based on, for example, the current set temperature and a predetermined margin (referred to as ⁇ ) set in advance. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 9A, “current set temperature Tsaset + ⁇ ” is the temperature upper limit value Tsamax, and “current set temperature Tsaset ⁇ ” is the temperature lower limit value Tsamin. As in the above description, “ ⁇ ⁇ with respect to the set temperature Tsaset” is referred to as a predetermined temperature.
- the general air conditioner is controlled so that the temperature becomes the predetermined temperature when the user or the like sets an arbitrary temperature.
- the post-evaporator air temperature is controlled to be within a predetermined temperature range of “temperature lower limit value to temperature upper limit value (Tsamin to Tsamax)”.
- step S22 when “evaporator rear stage air temperature> temperature upper limit value (Tss> Tsamax)” (step S22, YES), the frequency of the compressor 55 is increased (step S26), and as a result, the cooling capacity is improved. . Therefore, the “evaporator post-stage air temperature” is lowered and controlled to be within the above temperature range. Then, the process returns to step S21.
- “the number of revolutions of the compressor 55” is increased by increasing the “frequency of the compressor 55”, but these are substantially the same, and are not distinguished in the following description.

Then, it is determined whether or not the latter-stage evaporator air temperature is less than the temperature lower limit value, that is, “the later-stage evaporator air temperature ⁇ the lower temperature limit value (Tss ⁇ Tsamin)” (step S25).
- step S25 NO
- the present condition is “temperature lower limit value ⁇ evaporator rear stage air temperature ⁇
- the state of “temperature upper limit value (Tsamin ⁇ Tss ⁇ Tsamax)”, that is, the evaporator post-stage air temperature is within the predetermined temperature range. Therefore, the process returns to step S21 without performing anything as it is.
- step S25 if “evaporator rear stage air temperature ⁇ temperature lower limit value (Tss ⁇ Tsamin)” (step S25, YES), basically, the frequency of the compressor 55 is decreased (step S28) to evaporate. An attempt is made to raise the air temperature at the rear stage of the vessel and to keep it within the predetermined temperature range. However, before that, it is determined whether or not the compressor frequency has already become the lowest frequency (step S27).
- the refrigerant In the state where the output of the three-way valve 21 is on the liquid tank side, the refrigerant is not supplied to the evaporator 61a in this example (switching of 100%) as described above.

- the indirect outside air cooler may be constant in maximum capacity at least when the compressor 55 is in operation.
- the general air conditioner operates at a constant minimum capacity, and the cooling capacity of the indirect outside air cooler is variable.
- the indirect outdoor air cooler operates at a constant maximum capacity and controls the start / stop of the compressor 55.
- operation is performed with a minimum capacity.
- the excess cold heat of the refrigerator is stored in the tank 22.
- threshold values may be arbitrarily determined as described above, they may be determined based on experiments or the like in advance.
- temperature lower limit value ⁇ evaporator rear stage air temperature ⁇ temperature upper limit value (Tsamin ⁇ Tss ⁇ Tsamax) The liquid temperature lower limit value and the liquid temperature upper limit value so as to be in the state of "" can be obtained in advance through experiments or the like. In this experiment, for example, it is desirable that the indirect outside air cooler is always operated at the maximum cooling capacity.
- valve switching upper limit value can be basically anything as long as it is larger than the liquid temperature upper limit value.
- the measured temperature of the thermometer 27, that is, the measured value of the liquid temperature Ttt, which is the temperature of the liquid in the tank 22, is acquired every predetermined period (step S11).
- step S12 it is determined whether or not the liquid temperature has exceeded the “valve switching upper limit value” (step S12). If “liquid temperature> valve switching upper limit value (Ttt> Vmax)” (YES in step S12). Then, the three-way valve 21 output is switched to the evaporator side (step S13), and the process proceeds to FIG. Thus, the execution state of the process of FIG.
- step S12 if “liquid temperature ⁇ valve switching upper limit value (Ttt ⁇ Vmax)” (step S12, NO), a determination process using the liquid temperature lower limit value and the liquid temperature upper limit value is performed (step S14).
- step S15 If “liquid temperature> liquid temperature upper limit value”, the compressor 55 is started (step S15). As a result, the compressor 55 operates at the lowest frequency. If the compressor 55 is already in operation, the operation is continued at the lowest frequency as it is. On the other hand, if “liquid temperature ⁇ lower than the liquid temperature lower limit (Ttt ⁇ Tttmin)”, the compressor 55 is stopped (step S16). If the compressor 55 is already in a stopped state, the compressor 55 is left in a stopped state.
- the control in steps S14 to S16 is performed so that the liquid temperature Ttt falls within a predetermined temperature range of “liquid temperature lower limit value to liquid temperature upper limit value (Tttmin to Tttmax)”.
- Tttmin to Tttmax liquid temperature upper limit value
- FIG. 9C shows an operation example corresponding to this, but the present invention is not limited to this example. .
- the compressor 55 may be operated at a preset maximum efficiency frequency during operation.
- the maximum efficiency frequency is a frequency with the best cooling efficiency, and is obtained in advance by experiments or the like.
- the frequency of the compressor 55 can be returned to the lowest frequency.
- the frequency of the compressor 55 is set to a constant maximum efficiency frequency.
- FIG. 9 shows an example of operation at a constant minimum rotational speed, and the following description is in accordance with this example.
- step S28 is repeated.
- step S29 is executed, and the three-way valve position is switched from the evaporator side to the liquid tank side. It will be.
- step S13 the process of step S13 is executed, and as shown in FIG. 9D, the three-way valve position is switched from the liquid tank side to the evaporator side.
- step S26 by repeating the process of step S26, the frequency of the compressor 55 is increased as shown in FIG. 9C, and the cooling capacity of the general air conditioner is increased, so that FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the evaporator post-stage air temperature Tss decreases.
- the indirect outdoor air cooler operates at a constant maximum capacity during the operation of the compressor 55 of the general air conditioner during the “process of FIG. 7A”. While “55” is stopped, the “constant maximum capacity” may be removed. That is, the rotational speed control of the circulation pump 53 and the blower 71c may be performed so that the “evaporator post-stage air temperature” is within the temperature range of the set temperature Tsaset ⁇ ⁇ . This assumes, for example, that the liquid temperature is low even when the compressor 55 is stopped, for example, because the outside air temperature is low. That is, a situation in which the mode A is set in the first embodiment is assumed. In this case, for example, substantially the same control as the frequency control of the circulation pump 53 and the blower 71c in the mode A shown in FIG.
- FIG. 8 is a process flowchart of “when the three-way valve is on the evaporator side” in Process Example 2.

- FIG. 8 also includes step S44 in the case where the determination in step S42 to be described later is YES, and moves to “processing in FIG. 7A”. This may be regarded as an example of existing general air conditioner control, and therefore will be briefly described here.
- the set temperature Tsaset described in FIG. 9A is used in addition to the temperature upper limit value Tsamax and the temperature lower limit value Tsamin used in FIG. 7B.
- the temperature upper limit value and the temperature lower limit value correspond to “set temperature Tsaset ⁇ ⁇ ”.
- the set temperature Tsaset is referred to as a temperature set value Tsaset.
- step S21 the measurement result of the thermometer 26, that is, the “evaporator post-stage air temperature Tss” is obtained, for example, at a constant cycle (step S31). Then, “evaporator post-stage air temperature Tss” is compared with “temperature set value Tsaset” (step S32).
- step S33 it is determined whether or not the compressor 55 is operating. If the compressor 55 is not operating (step S33, NO), the compressor 55 is started (step S34) and the process returns to step S31. On the other hand, when the compressor 55 is in operation (step S33, YES), the process proceeds to step S35. Note that, similarly to steps S23 and S24, the processing of steps S33 and S34 may be omitted. In this case, if it is determined in step S32 that “evaporator post-stage air temperature> temperature set value (Tss> Tsaset)”, the process may go directly to step S35. The same applies to steps S38 and S39 described later.
- step S38 As a result of the determination in step S32 will be described below.
- step S40 “evaporator post-stage air temperature Tss” is compared with “temperature lower limit value Tsamin”. That is, if “evaporator rear stage air temperature> temperature lower limit (Tss> Tsamin)”, the frequency of the compressor 55 is increased (step S41). As in step S26 described above, this is increased by a predetermined amount. On the other hand, if “evaporator rear stage air temperature ⁇ temperature lower limit (Tss ⁇ Tsamin)”, it is determined whether or not the compressor frequency is the lowest frequency (step S42), and “compressor frequency ⁇ minimum”. If it is "frequency" (step S42, NO), the frequency of the compressor 55 is decreased (step S43).
- step S28 this is reduced by a predetermined amount.
- step S12 determines whether the three-way valve position is switched to the evaporator side.

- the temperature range (1) corresponds to the mode A in the first embodiment
- the temperature range (2) corresponds to the mode B
- the temperature range (3) corresponds to the modes C and D. It can be tricked, but is not limited to this example.
- the outside air temperature Toa on the horizontal axis is assumed to be high on the right side in the figure and low on the left side in the figure. Therefore, as the outside air temperature Toa increases, the capacity limit (maximum capacity) Qi of the indirect outside air cooler decreases as shown in the figure.
- FIGS. 10 (a), 11 (a), and 12 (a) all show the relationship between the outside air temperature and the capacity limit (maximum capacity) Qi of the indirect outside air cooler. Furthermore, the cooling capacity of the indirect outside air cooler or the general air conditioner corresponding to each control is shown.

- the power consumption and COP corresponding to the operation example shown in FIG. COP is a coefficient of performance (Coefficient Of Performance), and the description thereof is omitted.
- an indirect outside air cooler consumes much less power than a general air conditioner (compression refrigeration cycle), and therefore has a high COP. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C, the COP is high because the power consumption is small during the independent operation of the indirect outside air cooler, but the power consumption is large during the single operation of the general air conditioner. COP is low.
- the indirect outdoor air cooling maximum capacity Q (Qi) is not less than the required cooling capacity Qreq.
- the indirect outside air cooler is operated alone. In this respect, it may be considered that it is substantially the same as the conventional method.
- the general air conditioner is not immediately switched to independent operation, but the indirect outside air cooler and general air conditioner are used as long as the cooling capacity of the indirect outside air cooler can be used. I do.
- the power consumption and the COP are the same as those described above during the independent operation of the indirect outside air cooler (mode A) and during the independent operation of the general air conditioner (mode D). It is not different from the conventional method. However, the power consumption and the COP are more efficient than the conventional method during the combined operation of the indirect outside air cooler and the general air conditioner (mode B and mode C). That is, in the mode B and the mode C, the power consumption is less than in the conventional case, so that the COP is higher than in the conventional case.
- the indirect outside air cooler can be operated with the maximum capacity Qi even in the temperature range (2) corresponding to the mode B. .
- the cooling capacity of a general air conditioner is not constant at the minimum capacity as shown in FIG. 11A, and can be operated with a capacity lower than the minimum capacity as a whole.
- the compressor 55 is operated / stopped according to the liquid temperature, and cold energy is stored in the tank 22 during operation, and this is stopped. This is because it is configured to be used. Note that the characteristics shown in FIG. 12A are exhibited in both cases of the processing example 1 and the processing example 2 of the second embodiment.
- FIG. 12 the output (refrigerant capacity, power consumption, COP) with respect to arbitrary outside air temperature is shown.
- these figures do not show the elements of time change. That is, FIG. 12 does not show the followability to a rapid temperature change.
- the processing is performed at a predetermined cycle as described above. In other words, when a sudden temperature change occurs at a timing shorter than the predetermined processing cycle, it becomes difficult to realize the operation state shown in FIG. However, there is no problem because a predetermined cycle that can sufficiently cope with such a rapid temperature change is usually set. In this predetermined cycle, the processing example 2 of the second embodiment is more responsive than the processing example 1 of the second embodiment.
- the indirect outside air cooler is operated with the maximum capacity Qi in the temperature range (1), but the present invention is not limited to this example. In any case, during the independent operation of the indirect outside air cooler in the temperature range (1), it is sufficient to operate with the cooling capacity corresponding to the required cooling capacity Qreq, and it is not necessary to operate with the maximum capacity Qi.
- the cooling capacity of the indirect outside air cooler can be utilized to the maximum extent, indirect outside air cooling with a high COP can be more fully utilized, and the cooling efficiency can be further improved.
