Abstract
A heat transport system includes: a refrigerant circuit that seals therein a fluid including HFC-32 and/or HFO refrigerant as a refrigerant and that includes a refrigerant booster that boosts the refrigerant, an outdoor air heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant and outdoor air, a medium heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant and a heat transfer medium, and a refrigerant flow path switch that switches between a refrigerant radiation state and a refrigerant evaporation state; and a medium circuit that seals carbon dioxide therein as the heat transfer medium.
Claims8
A heat transport system comprising:
- a refrigerant circuit that seals therein a fluid comprising HFC-32 and/or HFO refrigerant as a refrigerant and that comprises:
- a refrigerant booster that boosts the refrigerant;
- an outdoor air heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant and outdoor air;
- a medium heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant and a heat transfer medium;
- and
- a refrigerant flow path switch that switches between a refrigerant radiation state and a refrigerant evaporation state, wherein
- in the refrigerant radiation state, the outdoor air heat exchanger functions as a radiator of the refrigerant and the medium heat exchanger functions as an evaporator of the refrigerant, and
- in the refrigerant evaporation state, the outdoor air heat exchanger functions as an evaporator of the refrigerant and the medium heat exchanger functions as a radiator of the refrigerant;
- and
- a medium circuit that seals carbon dioxide therein as the heat transfer medium, wherein the medium circuit comprises:
- a medium booster that boosts the heat transfer medium;
- the medium heat exchanger;
- a first medium flow path switch that switches between a first medium radiation state and a first medium evaporation state, wherein
- the medium heat exchanger functions as a radiator of the heat transfer medium in the first medium radiation state and as an evaporator of the heat transfer medium in the first medium evaporation state;
- and
- indoor air heat exchangers that exchange heat between the heat transfer medium and indoor air.
