Patent number: 6510698Abstract: A heat source unit and refrigerant used in an existing refrigeration system are replaced with new refrigerant and a new heat source unit which employs the new refrigerant and is equipped with an oil separator and extraneous-matter trapping device. An indoor unit of the existing refrigeration system may be used, in its present form, or replaced with a new indoor unit. Further, connecting pipes used for the existing refrigeration are reused. After replacement of refrigerant, the refrigeration system performs an ordinary operation after having performed a cleaning operation. The extraneous-matter trapping device is provided in a refrigerant pipe close to the heat source unit or in a bypass channel connected to the refrigerant pipe close to the heat source unit. Alternatively, only the heat source unit of the existing refrigeration system is replaced with a new one, and there is employed refrigeration oil which has no mutual solubility with respect to HFC or has very low mutual solubility.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2000Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomohiko Kasai, Mitsunori Kurachi, Hidekazu Tani, Moriya Miyamoto, Yoshihiro Sumida, Takashi Ikeda, Toshihiro Kikukawa, Shohichiroh Masuda, Hirofumi Koge

Patent number: 6032473Abstract: A refrigerant circulation system of the present invention includes a compressor, a condenser, a evaporator, a throttle device and a control unit. The control unit controls a composition of a refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circulation system based on a temperature and pressure of the refrigerant of an inlet and outlet portion of the compressor, condenser, evaporator and throttle device. The control unit controls to open and close the throttle device to change the composition of the refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circulation system.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1997Date of Patent: March 7, 2000Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Osamu Morimoto, Fujio Hitomi, Moriya Miyamoto, Hidekazu Tani, Tomohiko Kasai, Yoshihiro Sumida, Hitoshi Iijima

Patent number: 5323618Abstract: A heat storage type air conditioning system capable of performing refrigerant receiving and discharging control and oil quantity control, which, in operating the general cooling circuit and the cold radiating circuit simultaneously or separately, is free from difficulties that the compressor is damaged or the cooling capacity is lowered when the quantities of refrigerant in those circuits are excessively increased or decreased, and is able to continue the operations with the quantity of refrigerant and the quantity of ice machine oil adjusted to suitable values. In the heat storage type air conditioning system, evaporators are provided in a general cooling circuit driven by a compressor and in a cold radiating circuit driven by a refrigerant gas pump, respectively, so that those circuits operate independently of each other. Furthermore, bypass circuits are provided to allow refrigerant to flow between liquid pipes and between gas pipes in those circuits.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1993Date of Patent: June 28, 1994Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Yoshida, Hideaki Tagashira, Masami Imanishi, Hiroaki Hama, Moriya Miyamoto, Hiroshi Nakata, Osamu Morimoto
