Abstract
There is provided a car air conditioner with a high COP, low GWP and high reliability. A simple refrigerant R32 is filled in a refrigerant circuit 1 of the car air conditioner. This simple refrigerant R32 has a high COP and low GWP, but is easily polarized and produces contaminants and sludge. However, these contaminants and sludge hardly block a motor-driven expansion valve 6 or the like due to vibration and impact of a car. Therefore, this car air conditioner has high reliability. Furthermore, since the simple refrigerant R32 is a simple substance, recycling after collection is easy.
Claims2
A car equipped with a car air conditioner, comprising:
- a car refrigerant circuit, wherein a single refrigerant R32 is filled in said car refrigerant circuit, the car air conditioner is not ignited even if the refrigerant leaks;
- a partition plate, said partition plate preventing refrigerant from leaking into an engine compartment including an ignition source;
- and
- a guide member, said guide member guiding a refrigerant that leaks from the car air conditioner to the outside of the vehicle.
A car equipped with a car air conditioner, comprising:
- a car refrigerant circuit, wherein a mixed refrigerant containing R32 at 70 wt % or more is filled in said car refrigerant circuit, the car air conditioner is hardly ignited even if the refrigerant leaks;
- a partition plate, said partition plate preventing refrigerant from leaking into an engine compartment including an ignition source;
- and
- a guide member, said guide member guiding a refrigerant that leaks from the car air conditioner to the outside of the vehicle.
