Abstract

A multi-type refrigerator is capable of achieving a high coefficient of performance (COP) while using R32 as refrigerant and that takes account of energy saving and global warming. Refrigerating cycles are executed by circulation of R32 as refrigerant through a refrigerant circuit including one outdoor unit having a compressor, a condenser, and expansion means and a plurality of indoor units having evaporators. A filling quantity of R32 for the refrigerant circuit is set in a range from 120 to 300 g/kW (refrigerating capacity). The filling quantity of R32 for the refrigerant circuit is set in a range from 84 to 300 g/L (internal volume of the condenser).

Claims (8)

1. A multi-type refrigerator that executes refrigerating cycles by circulating R32 as refrigerant through a refrigerant circuit including one outdoor unit having a compressor, a condenser, and expansion means and a plurality of indoor units having evaporators,

the multi-type refrigerator characterized in that a filling quantity of R32 described above for the refrigerant circuit is in a range from 120 g to 300 g per kilowatt of refrigerating capacity.

2. A multi-type refrigerator that executes refrigerating cycles by circulating R32 as refrigerant through a refrigerant circuit including one outdoor unit having a compressor, a condenser, and expansion means and a plurality of indoor units having evaporators,

the multi-type refrigerator characterized in that a filling quantity of R32 described above for the refrigerant circuit is in a range from 84 g to 300 g per liter of internal volume of the condenser.

3. A multi-type refrigerator that executes refrigerating cycles by circulating mixed refrigerant containing at least 70 percent R32 by weight through a refrigerant circuit including one outdoor unit having a compressor, a condenser, and expansion means and a plurality of indoor units having evaporators,

the multi-type refrigerator characterized in that a filling quantity of R32 described above for the refrigerant circuit is in a range from 370 g to 700 g per kilowatt of refrigerating capacity.

4. A multi-type refrigerator that executes refrigerating cycles by circulating mixed refrigerant containing at least 70 percent R32 by weight through a refrigerant circuit including one outdoor unit having a compressor, a condenser, and expansion means and a plurality of indoor units having evaporators,

the multi-type refrigerator characterized in that a filling quantity of R32 described above for the refrigerant circuit is in a range from 260 g to 700 g per liter of internal volume of the condenser.
