Abstract: An automobile air conditioning system controls the high pressure of the refrigeration cycle in a wide range of airflows from a low airflow region during an intermediate period to a high airflow region. When a dehumidifying mode is selected, the target high pressure at which the cycle efficiency calculated from a gas cooler outlet refrigerant temperature is maximized is defined as a target value to a valve such as a heating variable throttle valve to control the high pressure of the refrigeration cycle to the target value. This permits control such that the cycle efficiency of the refrigeration cycle is maximized in a wide range of airflow from a low airflow region during an intermediate period to a high airflow region at a relatively low, about 10° C., outside air temperature.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method of operating a refrigeration cycle which is capable of preventing oil from staying in an evaporator and ensures high coefficient of performance as well as sufficient circulation of oil. An electronic expansion valve is controlled such that during normal operation, refrigerant is always in a superheated state at the outlet of an evaporator, and the refrigerant is periodically forced to have negative superheat for a predetermined time by a superheat control device. Thus, during normal operation, the refrigerant sucked into a variable displacement compressor always has superheat, whereby the refrigeration cycle can operate with high coefficient of performance and an engine driving the variable displacement compressor can be operated at high fuel efficiency. Also, the refrigerant is temporarily controlled so as to have negative superheat. Accordingly, lubricating oil stayed in the evaporator can be made to flow out to the variable displacement compressor, thus making it possible to prevent the compressor from seizing due to shortage of the lubricating oil.

Abstract translation: 本发明的目的是提供一种操作制冷循环的方法，其能够防止油停留在蒸发器中并确保高性能系数以及油的充分循环。 控制电子膨胀阀使得在正常操作期间，制冷剂在蒸发器的出口处始终处于过热状态，并且由过热控制装置周期性地将制冷剂强制为负过热一段预定时间。 因此，在正常运转时，吸入可变排量压缩机的制冷机始终具有过热性，由此能够以较高的性能系数运转制冷循环，并且能够以高燃料效率运转可变排量压缩机的发动机驱动。 此外，制冷剂被暂时控制为具有负的过热。 因此，可以使滞留在蒸发器中的润滑油流出到可变排量压缩机，从而可以防止压缩机由于润滑油不足而卡死。
