  • Patent number: 8534093
    Abstract: A unit for an ejector-type refrigeration cycle includes an ejector, first and second evaporators connected in parallel to a downstream side of the ejector and configured to evaporate the refrigerant discharged from the outlet of the ejector, and a refrigerant distributor configured to distribute the refrigerant discharged from an outlet of the ejector to a side of the first evaporator and a side of the second evaporator. The ejector draws refrigerant from a refrigerant suction port by a high-velocity refrigerant flow jetted from a nozzle portion, and mixes the refrigerant injected from the nozzle portion with the refrigerant drawn from the refrigerant suction port so as to discharge the mixed refrigerant from the outlet of the ejector. The ejector and the refrigerant distributor are connected to each other such that the refrigerant discharged from the outlet of the ejector directly flows into the refrigerant distributor.

  • Patent number: 7870758
    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.
