  • Publication number: 20240361050
    Abstract: A heat pump cycle device includes a compressor, a branch portion, a heating unit, a heating-unit side decompression unit, a bypass passage, a bypass-side flow-rate regulating unit, a mixing portion, and a target temperature determination unit. When a regulating performance determination unit determines that a flow rate regulating performance of one of the heating-unit side decompression unit or the bypass-side flow-rate regulating unit is equal to or less than the reference regulating performance, a throttle opening of the other of the heating-unit side decompression unit or the bypass-side flow-rate regulating unit is set to be equal to or less than an upper limit opening.

  • Publication number: 20240271844
    Abstract: A heat pump cycle device includes a compressor, a branch part, a heating unit, a heating-unit side decompression unit, a bypass passage, a bypass flow rate adjustment unit, a mixing part, a target temperature determination part configured to determine a target temperature that is a target value of an object temperature of the heating object heated by the heating unit, and a target low-pressure determination part configured to determine a target low pressure that is a target value of a sucked refrigerant pressure of the refrigerant to be sucked into the compressor. When the object temperature is lower than the target temperature during execution of a hot gas mode, a high-pressure rise control is performed to raise a discharged refrigerant pressure of the refrigerant flowing into the heating unit.

  • Publication number: 20240219086
    Abstract: A heat pump cycle device includes a compressor, a branching unit, a heating unit, a heating-unit-side depressurizing unit, a bypass passage, a bypass flow-rate adjusting unit, a mixing unit, and a target pressure difference determining unit. The target pressure difference determining unit determines a target pressure difference as a target value of a pressure difference determined by subtracting a suctioned refrigerant pressure from a discharge refrigerant pressure. An operation of at least one of the compressor, the heating-unit-side depressurizing unit, or the bypass flow-rate adjusting unit is controlled so that the pressure difference comes close to the target pressure difference.

  • Publication number: 20170211857
    Abstract: An evaporator includes an inlet side space of a leeward side upper tank into which a refrigerant flows from a refrigerant inlet port, and an inlet side turn path that is formed of a group of tubes and connected to the inlet side space. A ratio of a total passage cross-sectional area AT1 of the group of tubes forming the inlet side turn path to an inlet passage cross-sectional area Ain of the refrigerant inlet port is set at 3.5 or less, and a ratio of a longitudinal direction length Lg1 of the inlet side space to an inlet equivalent diameter Din of the refrigerant inlet port is set at 25 or less. Further, a Reynolds number Re of the refrigerant that has flowed into the inlet side turn path is set at 1800 or more.
