  • Patent number: 11959677
    Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus includes: a refrigerant circuit through which refrigerant circulates; a controller to execute a plurality of refrigerant shortage sensing functions of sensing a shortage of an amount of the refrigerant; and an input device through which an operation mode to be set is input into the controller. The operation mode includes: a first mode in which energy-saving performance is emphasized; and a second mode in which the refrigeration apparatus is permitted to operate in a range in which reliability is ensured. In accordance with the operation mode set through the input device, the controller determines which one of sensing results obtained by the refrigerant shortage sensing functions is enabled and which one of sensing results obtained by the refrigerant shortage sensing functions is disabled. When a sensing result determined to be enabled shows a refrigerant shortage, the controller gives a notification about the refrigerant shortage.

  • Patent number: 10845108
    Abstract: A refrigeration device includes a refrigerant circuit sequentially connecting a compressor, a condenser, a reservoir, and a subcooling coil via refrigerant pipes in series, an injection circuit configured to inject part of refrigerant flowing from the condenser to an intermediate pressure part of the compressor, and an injection expansion valve configured to reduce a pressure of refrigerant branched on a downstream side of the subcooling coil. The refrigeration device includes a temperature measurement unit, a pressure measurement unit, and a controller configured to identify a type of refrigerant on the basis of a measured value of the temperature measurement unit and a measured value of the pressure measurement unit, and control at least one of an operating frequency of the compressor, a rotation frequency of a condenser fan, and an opening degree of the injection expansion valve.

  • Patent number: 10254016
    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes: a low-stage refrigeration cycle including a low-stage compressor, a low-stage condenser, a low-stage pressure reducing device, and a low-stage evaporator, and circulating low-stage refrigerant; a high-stage refrigeration cycle including a high-stage compressor, a high-stage condenser, a high-stage pressure reducing device, and a high-stage evaporator, and circulating high-stage refrigerant; a cascade condenser exchanging heat between the low-stage refrigerant in the low-stage condenser and the high-stage refrigerant in the high-stage evaporator, and a controller. The low-stage refrigerant is a refrigerant that undergoes disproportionation. The low-stage refrigerant is maintained at a pressure lower than a disproportionation pressure at which the low-stage refrigerant undergoes disproportionation.
