I was In addition, the air cooler 2 has a job of producing cold air and cooling an object to be cooled. For this reason, it is necessary to operate the cooling refrigerator 1 and the air blower 2 having large capacities even in the cold-holding operation after the completion of cooling, and the capacities are excessive with respect to the load. There is a problem that the life of the device is shortened.

Hereinafter, the cooling process for one day in the refrigerated warehouse 8 will be described with reference to FIGS. Assuming that the object to be cooled 4 is, for example, a crop, the object to be cooled 4 is harvested during the day and stored in the refrigerated warehouse 8, and rapidly cooled during the day to prevent quality deterioration. This cooling is performed on the object 4
Is a large cooling load, and mainly operates the cooling air cooler 2 and also operates the cooling air cooler 11 to cool the refrigerated warehouse 8. Also, at night, the object to be cooled 4 is in a considerably cold state, the load on the object to be cooled 4 is small, and it is sufficient to perform cold preservation while maintaining a low temperature. The cold storage in the refrigerated warehouse 8 is mainly performed by the cooler air cooler 11. As shown in the lowermost column of FIG.
The cooling is started at about 2:00, and the cooling is finished at about 18:00 on the assumption that the desired cooling target temperature has been reached. The cooling during this time is called, for example, a rapid cooling operation. Then, the cool keeping operation is performed at night after the cooling is completed. From around 8:00 in the morning to around 12:00 in the afternoon, it is necessary to carry out the loading / unloading work of the object to be cooled 4, and the cooling of the refrigerated warehouse 8 during this period is stopped.

て、冷蔵倉庫8内の保冷を行っている。Next, the cooling operation in the refrigerated warehouse 8 will be described. In the rapid cooling operation, the cooling blower 3, the cooling air cooler 2, and the cool keeping cooler 11 are operated. The airflow generated by rotating the cooling blower 3 in the forward direction has directivity in a direction parallel to the baffle plate / partition plate 6 due to the effect of the baffle plate / partition plate 6, so that the cooling object 4 is cooled. It flows into one side space. Here, since there is no sufficient space around the object 4 to allow air to pass through, the pressure on one side of the cooling blower 3, that is, the pressure on one side of the object 4 to be cooled gradually increases with respect to the other pressure. go. For this reason, a differential pressure is generated on both sides of the object 4 to be cooled. Generally, when a differential pressure is generated on both sides of an object, even if the gap between them is very small, a flow is generated through the gap according to the magnitude of the differential pressure. Therefore, air flows from one side of the object to be cooled 4 to the other through the inside and the periphery of the object to be cooled 4. Then, the air reaching the other side of the object to be cooled 4 forms an air circulation path in which the air is sucked into the cooling blower 3 again. Since the cooling air cooler 2 and the cooling air cooler 11 are in the air circulation path, the entire air circulating in the refrigerated warehouse 8 is cooled by the action of the cooling air cooler 2 to lower the temperature. . The low-temperature air passes through or around the object to be cooled, thereby cooling the object to be cooled. In the cool keeping operation, the cooling air cooler 2 is stopped and the cool air cooler 11 is operated to keep the refrigerator 8 cool.

mH2 O程度である。In the quenching operation described above, since the inlet space and the outlet space of the cooling blower 3 are separated by the baffle plate / partition plate 6, a differential pressure is applied to both sides of the object 4 to be cooled, and a uniform and rapid pressure is applied. Cooling is possible. In cooling the object to be cooled 4, the larger the differential pressure between the two ends of the object to be cooled 4, the greater the flow velocity of air on the surface of the object to be cooled 4, and the higher the cooling speed. And desirable. However,
If this pressure difference is too large, a large amount of blower power is required, which is not practical. A practical differential pressure between both ends of the cooling object 4, in which the power of the cooling blower 3 is not so much applied and the cooling speed of the cooling object 4 is secured at a sufficient speed, is
It is desirable that the flow velocity of the air on the surface of is set to about 0.5 to 2 m / s and the cooling of the object to be cooled 4 is completed in about 6 hours. For example 20 mm H 2 O about when the object to be cooled 4 lemon and onions in the case of grapefruit 10 mm H 2 O of about, in the case of oranges is 50~100m
It is on the order of mH 2 O.

きる。When the temperature in the refrigerator decreases and reaches a temperature obtained by adding, for example, 3 ° C. to the cooling target temperature of the object 4 to be cooled, the cooling blower 3 is reversed to flow the air in the object 4 in the circulation direction of the air. Is reversed, more uniform cooling can be performed. When the flow of the air in or around the object 4 to be cooled is performed only in one direction, there is a phenomenon that the front of the object 4 cools better in the direction of the air flow and the rear does not cool much. It can happen. For this reason, when the refrigerated warehouse 8 has cooled to some extent during the period from the start of cooling to the end of cooling, the rotation direction of the cooling blower 3 is reversed so that the flow of air in or around the object to be cooled 4 is reversed. Is performed, the cooling of the object to be cooled 4 is performed more rapidly and uniformly. Means for reversing the rotation direction of the cooling blower 3 can be realized, for example, by reversing the motor. Further, even if the rotation direction of the cooling blower 3 is not reversed, the flow of the cool air in the object to be cooled 4 can be reversed by switching the air circulation path by the damper.

8内の空気を冷却している。Hereinafter, the flow of the refrigerant as the heat transfer medium in each of the operation patterns will be described. First, the normal cooling operation pattern will be described with reference to FIG. In the normal cooling operation, the cooling refrigerator 1 is operated to supply the cooling air to the cooling air cooler 2. In the cooling refrigerator 1, the refrigerant circuit switching device 1f is opened, and the refrigerant compressed by the refrigerant compressor 1a flows to the air-cooled condenser 1b. By operating the condenser blower 1b1 of the air-cooled condenser 1b, outside air is passed through the condenser heat exchanger 1b2, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas flowing from the refrigerant compressor 1a is condensed and liquefied. The liquefied refrigerant is
It accumulates in the liquid receiver 1c through the check valve 1h. This receiver 1c
Has a function of absorbing fluctuations in the amount of refrigerant in the system due to changes in operating conditions. Further, the check valve 1e prevents the refrigerant accumulated in the air-cooled condenser 1b from flowing backward through the refrigerant compressor 1a to the low pressure side when the refrigerant compressor 1a is stopped. Similarly, the check valve 1h prevents the refrigerant in the liquid receiver 1c from flowing back to the air-cooled condenser 1b when the refrigerant compressor 1a is stopped. The refrigerant flowing out of the liquid receiver 1c passes through the stop valve 11 and the dust removing device 1n, passes through the supercooling coil of the accumulator 1d, exchanges heat, and is cooled. Then, the liquid is sent to the refrigerant circuit switching device 17 and the electronic expansion valve 18 through the liquid outlet side pipe 7c.

Since the flow of the refrigerant in the cooling refrigerator 1 is the same as in the normal cooling operation, the description is omitted. Refrigerant circuit switching device 1
2, 16 are opened, and the refrigerant circuit switching devices 1g, 13, 17 are closed. The refrigerant liquid condensed in the air-cooled condenser 1b and stored in the liquid receiver 1c passes through the liquid outlet side pipe 7c, passes through the refrigerant circuit switching device 12, the check valve 15, the expansion valve 14, and evaporates in the heat storage tank 9. . The refrigerant circuit switching device 16 and the suction pipe 7
Then, it flows to the accumulator 1d and the refrigerant compressor 1a through d. In this way, when the refrigerant is circulated and evaporated in the heat storage tank 9, cold heat is stored in the heat storage tank 9 with ice.

動させて、冷蔵倉庫8内の空気を冷却している。Next, the heat storage / radiation operation pattern will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, in the early stage of cooling, the temperature inside the refrigerator is high and the cooling load is large, and the refrigerated warehouse 8 needs to be rapidly cooled. The heat storage / radiation operation pattern is a pattern operated in the rapid cooling operation mode. In the heat storage operation pattern, the cold heat stored in the heat storage tank 9 with ice is used for the heat storage of the refrigerated warehouse 8. The refrigerant circuit switching devices 1f, 12, 16 are closed, and the refrigerant circuit switching devices 1g, 13 are opened. The refrigerant gas compressed by the compressor 1a is supplied from the refrigerant circuit switching device 1g to the discharge pipe 7a.
Through the heat storage tank 9. The refrigerant gas exchanges heat with ice stored in the heat storage tank 9 and condenses to radiate heat. The condensed refrigerant liquid is supplied to the refrigerant circuit switching device 13 and the liquid inlet side pipe 7.
b, passes through the check valve 1i and accumulates in the liquid receiver 1c. Liquid receiver 1
The flow circulating from c to the cooling air cooler 2 is the same as in the normal cooling operation pattern, and will not be described here. In this operation mode, the air-cooled condenser 1b of the refrigerator 1 is not operated, and the cold stored in the ice heat storage tank 9 is cooled.
To supply. Further, the refrigerant circuit switching device 19 is opened, and the refrigerator 10 and the air cooler 11 are operated to cool the air in the refrigerated warehouse 8.

The high pressure during operation is much lower than when using b. Therefore, power consumption during operation is greatly reduced. Since the differential pressure of the high and low pressures in the refrigerant circuit is small, the normal expansion valve cannot supply a sufficient amount of the refrigerant liquid. However, in this embodiment, since the electronic expansion valve 18 is used, the refrigerant is stable even at a low differential pressure. The liquid flow rate can be secured.

And the refrigerant circuit switching device 19 is opened. In the cold storage operation pattern, since there is no load in the cold storage 8, the refrigerator 10 for cooling may have a smaller capacity than the refrigerator 1 for cooling.
The cooling air cooler 11 may have a smaller capacity than the cooling air cooler 2.

Will be explained. As shown in FIG. 5, both the refrigerator for cooling 10 and the refrigerator for cooling 1 are turned off and stopped during the loading / unloading operation. With the start of the loading / unloading operation, the internal temperature rises. The power consumption at this time is zero.

After the cooling is started, the temperature in the refrigerator rapidly decreases with time. In the initial stage of the cooling start, the heat storage / radiation operation pattern is performed, the refrigerant compressor 1a of the cooling refrigerator 1 is turned on to operate, and the heat storage tank 9 is operated as a condenser instead of the air-cooled condenser 1b. The stored cold heat is supplied to the cooling air cooler 2. In this heat storage / radiation operation mode, the high pressure during operation can be reduced, so that the power consumption during operation is reduced by the air-cooled condenser 1b of the refrigerator.
It can be lower than when N is set.
