評価値P=(入口温度Tin-出口温度Tout)/(入口温度Tin-中間圧飽和温度) ・・・(1)
評価値P=(入口温度Tin-出口温度Tout)/(入口温度Tin-外気温度)・・・(2)
評価値P=(圧力値換算の飽和ガス温度-出口温度Tout)/(圧力値換算の飽和ガス温度-中間圧飽和温度) ・・・(3)
図11は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る冷凍装置の制御装置における評価値の一例を示すグラフであり、図11を参照して冷媒量の判定について説明する。なお、図11において、図3の制御装置と同一の構成を有する部位には同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。図11に示すように、評価値算出部31は、入口温度Tinと出口温度Toutに基づき、下記式(4)から過冷却度(サブクール量)を評価値P1として算出するものである。
評価値P1(過冷却度)=入口温度Tin-出口温度Tout ・・・(4)
過冷却度=吐出圧力値から換算された飽和ガス温度-出口温度Tout ・・・(5)
また一体型の機種でも過冷却器が小さい機種で温度効率が小さい場合、また過冷却器が大きい場合でもインジェクション流量が小さく、温度効率が小さくなる条件では、上記式(5)で判定する場合があり、この場合もリモート機種の場合同様、温度効率は3つのパラメータから算出されるため、冷媒不足の指標値のバラツキ、ハンチングなどにより温度効率が実際の値との差異の割合が大きくなる。
図12は、本発明の実施の形態3に係る冷凍装置の制御装置の一例を示す機能ブロック図であり、図12を参照して制御装置130について説明する。なお、図12において、図3の制御装置と同一の構成を有する部位には同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。図12の制御装置130が、図3の制御装置30と異なる点は、第1評価値P11及び第2評価値P12のいずれか一方を用いて冷媒不足を判定する点である。
