【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、ブラインを用いて空気より集熱する

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method of operating a heat pump with a heating tower that collects heat from air using brine, and more particularly, to an operating method of preventing brine freezing accidents. It is something.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来から使用されてきた標準的な冷凍機又はヒ
ートポンプでは熱源として水を使用するものであ
つたため、水の凍結温度以下の冷却さえ回避すれ
ば凍結事故防止に対しては十分であつた。
Since standard refrigerators or heat pumps that have been used in the past use water as a heat source, it is sufficient to prevent freezing accidents by avoiding cooling the water below its freezing temperature.

また、工業用プロセス冷却用途の冷凍機で0℃
以下の低温で使用する場合はブラインを使用する
とはいえ、ブラインの濃度は一定なので、その濃

た。
In addition, a refrigerator for industrial process cooling uses a temperature of 0°C.
Although brine is used when used at lower temperatures, the concentration of brine is constant, so it was sufficient to focus only on the freezing temperature at that concentration.

即ち、従来では例えば温度検出器には警報温度

That is, conventionally, for example, it was sufficient to set only one alarm temperature on a temperature detector.

However, recently, heat pumps with heating towers that use brine to collect heat from the air using a heating tower have become safe because they can use low-pressure refrigerants (R11, etc.) even though they are air heat source heat pumps. It has attracted attention because it has many advantages such as being suitable for energy saving due to its high efficiency, allowing for a small installation space, and dramatically increasing the coefficient of performance (system efficiency) especially during summer operation. There is.

〔発明が解決しようとする問題点〕[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

ところがこの新型のヒートポンプでは、使用す

度に応じて凍結温度が変化し、低温でも濃度が高
ければ凍結しないし、高温でも濃度が低ければ凍
結するので警報温度を一点に設定したのでは効率
の良い凍結防止が行われない。
However, with this new type of heat pump, the concentration of the brine used fluctuates depending on outside air conditions, etc., and the freezing temperature changes depending on the concentration.Even at low temperatures, if the concentration is high, it will not freeze, and even at high temperatures, if the concentration is low, it will freeze, so an alarm is issued. If the temperature is set at one point, efficient freezing prevention will not be achieved.

即ち、ブラインがヒーテイングタワー上部から
散布されるに当り、外気から熱を受け取ると同時
に、特に外気湿度が高い場合は水分まで受け取つ
てしまうためブライン濃度が低下してしまうこと
があつた。また経験によるとブライン濃度は低下
するばかりではなく、外気条件によつては(特に
湿度が低い場合)むしろ上昇することも多かつ
た。
That is, when the brine is sprayed from the top of the heating tower, it receives heat from the outside air and, especially when the outside air humidity is high, also receives moisture, resulting in a decrease in the brine concentration. Furthermore, experience has shown that the brine concentration not only decreases, but also often increases depending on the outside air conditions (particularly when humidity is low).

このように、外気条件の変動に応じてブライン
濃度が変動することが、凍結防止を難点としてい
る原因となつている。
As described above, the brine concentration fluctuates in response to fluctuations in outside air conditions, which makes prevention of freezing difficult.

ところでこの種のヒートポンプには比熱、粘度
などの関係からブライン濃度を所定の濃度範囲に
維持するために濃度管理を行うのが一般的であ
る。
By the way, in this type of heat pump, concentration control is generally performed to maintain the brine concentration within a predetermined concentration range due to the relationship between specific heat, viscosity, and the like.

そこで、前記所定の濃度範囲に管理されている
ブラインにおいて最も凍結温度が高い、最低濃度

て、濃度を上げねばならない。
Therefore, it is conceivable to set an alarm temperature in the temperature detector close to the freezing temperature corresponding to the lowest concentration, which is the highest freezing temperature in the brine managed within the predetermined concentration range. However, due to heat collection from the air, it may be necessary to operate at a temperature lower than the freezing temperature. In that case, it is necessary to temporarily stop the heat pump at the alarm temperature and reset the predetermined temperature range to a high concentration region to increase the concentration.

また、前記凍結温度より低温で運転せざるを得

好ましくない。
Further, even if the operation is forced to be performed at a temperature lower than the freezing temperature, the concentration may be high at that point, and there may be no risk of freezing even if the operation is performed at a temperature lower than the freezing temperature. Even in this case, the operation of the heat pump is stopped at the alarm temperature, which is not preferable in terms of efficiency.
