Abstract: In an ejector-type refrigeration cycle device provided with a first compression mechanism and a second compression mechanism, a refrigerant outlet of a suction side evaporator is coupled to a refrigerant suction port of the ejector, and a second compression mechanism is provided between the suction side evaporator and the refrigerant suction port of the ejector. Thus, even in an operation condition in which suction capacity of the ejector is decreased in accordance with a decrease of the flow amount of a drive flow of the ejector, the suction capacity of the ejector can be supplemented by the operation of the second compression mechanism. Accordingly, even when a variation in the flow amount of the drive flow is caused, the ejector-type refrigeration cycle device can be stably operated.

Abstract: In an ejector cycle with an ejector including a nozzle for decompressing refrigerant, a control unit controls an air blowing amount of an evaporator fan so that a flow speed of refrigerant flowing in an evaporator becomes in a predetermined flow speed range. Therefore, it can prevent a large amount of lubrication oil from staying in the evaporator, and thereby the lubrication oil can sufficiently returns to a compressor. For example, the control unit includes a determining means for determining the predetermined flow speed range based on at least one of an atmosphere temperature of a condenser, a temperature of air supplied to the evaporator and a flow amount of refrigerant discharged from the compressor.

Abstract: In an ejector cycle with an ejector including a nozzle for decompressing refrigerant, a refrigerant outlet is provided in an evaporator at a position upper than a refrigerant inlet. Therefore, a circulation performance of refrigerant flowing in the evaporator can be improved. Accordingly, even when a pumping capacity generated in the ejector becomes smaller, a sufficient amount of refrigerant can be drawn into the ejector from the evaporator. Thus, a refrigerant amount supplied to the evaporator can be effectively increased. Further, a control unit controls an amount of cooling air supplied to a condenser based on the temperature of the cooling air, to control a refrigerant state to be introduced to the nozzle. In this case, a pressure increasing amount in the ejector can be effectively increased, and consumption power in the compressor can be effectively increased.

Abstract: In an ejector, a nozzle is provided within a housing to defining a passage portion around the nozzle, and a suction port is provided in the housing to draw a refrigerant by entrainment of a driving refrigerant jetted from the nozzle. Further, a wall portion is provided in the housing such that the refrigerant drawn from the suction port into the passage portion is prevented from flowing toward an inlet side of the nozzle from a position of the suction port in an axial direction of the nozzle. Therefore, all of the refrigerant flowing from the suction port flows toward an outlet side of the nozzle without flowing toward the inlet side of the nozzle from the position of the suction port in the axial direction. Thus, it can prevent a large pressure loss from being caused in the refrigerant sucked from the suction port, and ejector efficiency can be effectively increased.
