`The present invention relates to the refrigerant circuit which it relates to a refrigerant circuit, and
`
`there is no risk of destroying the ozone layer used for a freezer in more detail, and can obtain the
`
`cooling temperature of ultra low temperature of -70 degrees C or less.
`
`[0002]
`
`[Description of the Prior Art]
`
`It is the dichlorodifluoromethane which is conventionally used as a refrigerant of a freezer.
`
`(Hereinafter, it is called R12) R500 which consists of R12 of an azeotropic refrigerant and 1 and 1-
`
`difluoroethane (henceforth R152a) is used, and the boiling point of R12 is -29.65 degree C in
`
`atmospheric pressure, The boiling point of R500 is -33.45 degree C, and is suitable to the usual
`
`freezer before and behind cooling temperature-18 degree C. R12 had good compatibility with oil
`
`(refrigerating machine oil), such as straight-minerai-oil system oil of a compressor, and alkylbenzene
`
`system oil, and the role which pulls back the oil in a refrigerant circuit to a compressor was also
`
`performing.
`
`[0003]
`
`However, if these refrigerants are emitted by the latency of that high ozone crack into the atmosphere
`
`and arrive at the ozone layer over the earth, they will destroy this ozone layer. Depletion of this ozone
`
`layer is caused by the chlorine group (Cl) in a refrigerant. Then, for example, this chlorine group is
`
`not included, C02 refrigerant is used, C02 refrigerant compressed with the low stage compression
`
`element is supplied to the inlet side of a high rank compression element, and the two~step
`
`compression equation compressor which is further compressed and is discharged is proposed (for

`
`The temperature (degree C) and the pressure (MPa) which were shown in Fig.3, The mixture (R—
`
`508A) of trifluoromethane and hexafluoroethane is used as a refrigerant, using propane, to a
`
`refrigerant, it carries out and, as for 7 mass % combination, the temperature of every place of the
`
`refrigerant circuit B at the time of operating using a HAB oil as oil and the example of a pressure are
`
`shown as an oil returning agent.

`
`(A 3rd embodiment of the present invention)
`
`Fig.4 is an explanatory view showing other refrigerant circuits of the present invention.
`
`As shown in Fig.4, the refrigerant circuit C of the present invention is compressed into high voltage
`
`with the high rank compression element 8, and is discharged from the discharge side 12, The oil in a
`
`refrigerant is separated by the oil separator 14, and the separated oil is supplied to the inlet side 9
`
`(refrigerant return end) of the low stage compression element 7, Separate into gas-liquid by the gas
`
`liquid separation device 22, and the refrigerant which passed through the oil separator 14 supplies the
`
`separated vapor phase component to the heat exchange apparatus 23, after being cooled with the
`
`radiator 15, it heat—exchanged with the refrigerant which passed through the condensator 17, cooled,
`
`and carried out pressure control by the capillary tube (or expansion valve) 16 ~- if after adiabatic
`
`expansion is carried out, cold energy is generated and it is made to heat—exchange with the air for
`
`example, in a cooling system with the condensator 17, the cooling temperature at —70 degrees C or
`
`less can be obtained. After carrying out pressure regulation of the liquid phase component separated
`
`by the gas liquid separation device 22 on the other hand by the capillary tube 24, it joins the
`
`refrigerant which passed through the condensator 17 supplied to the heat exchange apparatus 23,
`
`and is the same as that of the refrigerant circuit A shown in Fig.1 except having made it supply the
`
`refrigerant return end 9 of the two-step compression equation rotary compressor 1.
`
`Low cooling temperature can be obtained more by separating into gas—liquid the refrigerant
`
`compressed with the high rank compression element 8, and supplying the separated vapor phase
`
`component to the capillary tube (or expansion valve) 16 — the condensator 17.

`
`The mixture of which it N20 Received and did methane 25 mass % mixing is used for the temperature
`
`(degree C) shown in Fig.4 as a refrigerant, using n-butane, to a refrigerant, it carries out and 10 mass
`
`% combination shows the example of the temperature of every place of the refrigerant circuit C at the
`
`time of operating using straight mineral oil as oil as an oil returning agent.
`
`[0034]
`
`According to the refrigerant circuit A, B, or C of the present invention, the cooling temperature not
`
`more than —70 degree C can be obtained by full operation, but the cooling temperature at -18 degrees
`
`C can also be obtained by operation which shortened time of ON of ON/OFF.
`
`[0035]
`
`Although make the refrigerant compressed with the compressor condense with a condenser, it is
`
`usually liquefied, the liquefied refrigerant is evaporated with an evaporator in the conventional
`
`refrigerant circuit and cold energy is generated, In the refrigerant circuit of the present invention, it is
`
`also possible to carry out adiabatic expansion of the refrigerant in a supercritical state, and to
`
`generate cold energy, without operating on condition of under the supercritical pressure of a
`
`refrigerant, and supercritical temperature, and condensate~izing a refrigerant.
`
`[0036]
`
`The refrigerant used by the present invention is not limited excluding a chlorine group that the boiling
`
`point should just be [ especially ] a refrigerant not more than -80 degree C. Specifically, the mixture
`of trifluoromethane, trifluoromethane, and hexafluoroethane, N20, ethane, etc. can be mentioned, for
`
`example. Two or more type can also use these, mixing.

`
`Low—temperature cooling temperature can be further obtained by blending at least 1 type of
`
`refrigerants further chosen as the refrigerant used by the present invention from tetrafluoromethane,
`
`methane, and ethane. Although compounding amount in particular, such as tetrafluoromethane to the
`
`refrigerant used by the present invention, methane, and ethane, is not limited, their 25 — 40 mass %
`
`is preferable.
`
`[0038]
`
`It is not limited that the oil returning agent used by the present invention should just be [ especially ]
`
`a hydrocarbon compound with oil and high compatibility. Specifically, ethane, propane, n-butane, iso—
`
`butane, n-pentane, etc. can be mentioned, for example. Two or more type can also use these,
`
`mixing.
`
`Although the compounding amount in particular of an oil returning agent is not limited to a
`
`refrigerant, it is preferable that it is the 0.1 to 14 mass %. Since the effect of oil returning may not be
`
`acquired for the compounding amount of an oil returning agent with less than the 0.1 mass °/o, and
`an inflammability will become large if the 14 mass % is exceeded, it is not'preferable.
`In the case of the refrigerant circuit A shown in Fig.1, and the refrigerant circuit B shown in Fig.3, it is
`
`preferable that the compounding amount of an oil returning agent is the 0.1 to 6 mass %, and, as for
`
`the compounding amount of an oil returning agent, in the case of the refrigerant circuit C shown in
`
`Fig.4, it is preferable that it is the six to 14 mass %.
`
`[0039]
`
`The oil in particular used by the present invention is not well limited as these ******** the thing of a
`
`natural product or natural product origin, or synthetic compounds. Usually, if used as base oil of a
`
`lubricating oil, it can be used regardless of a mineral oil system and a constructional system.
`
`[0040]
`
`As a mineral oil system oil, specifically a crude oil atmospheric distillation and the lubricating oil
`
`fraction produced by carrying out distillation under reduced pressure, Oils, normal paraffin, etc. which
`
`were refined combining refining ****, such as solvent deasphalting, solvent extraction,
`
`hydrocracking, solvent dewaxing, catalytic dewaxing, hydrorefining, sulfuric acid treatment, and clay
`
`treatment, etc. as appropriate, such as paraffin series and a naphthene system, can be used.
