The present disclosure discloses a fabricated air conditioner wall and an operation method thereof, and the fabricated air conditioner wall included a precast wall and a heat pump system embedded in the precast wall. The components of the fabricated air conditioner wall are mass-produced and assembled in factories. The fabricated air conditioner wall mainly includes an indoor heat exchanger, a throttle valve, a condensate water tank, a four-way valve, a wall-buried pipe, a compressor, and an outdoor heat exchanger. In a cooling mode, condensate water is collected in the condensate water tank to cool the refrigerant. In winter, when the precast wall is illuminated by sunlight, a temperature of an outer wall is often higher than a temperature of outdoor air, and this solar energy can be reasonably utilized by the wall-buried pipe, thereby improving the heating effect of the air conditioner itself.

An air conditioner provided which has: a main refrigerant circuit including a compressor, a heat source side heat exchanger, a first expansion valve, and a utilization side heat exchanger and configured such that refrigerant flows in the main refrigerant circuit; a sub refrigerant circuit including a cooling member configured such that refrigerant branched from the main refrigerant circuit flows in the cooling member and configured such that refrigerant branched from the main refrigerant circuit flows in the sub refrigerant circuit; and a heat generator to be cooled by the cooling member, wherein a pipe in which part of refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows is connected to the cooling member of the sub refrigerant circuit.

A heat exchanger has first and second heat exchange units disposed one above the other. In a case where the heat exchanger functions as a condenser, refrigerant flows through the second heat exchange unit after having flowed through the first heat exchange unit. An intermediate header unit through which the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit communicate with each other causes at least a portion of refrigerant having flowed through a first heat transfer pipe group on the windward side of the first heat exchange unit to flow to a fourth heat transfer pipe group. Further, the intermediate header unit causes at least a portion of refrigerant having flowed through a second heat transfer pipe group on the leeward side of the first heat exchange unit to flow into a third heat transfer pipe group or the fourth heat transfer pipe group.

A chilling unit and a water circulation temperature control system includes a refrigerant circuit, a pipe through which a heat medium flows, a flow switching valve, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and a controller. The refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, a pair of air-side heat exchangers, an expansion valve, and a heat-medium-side heat exchanger connected to each other by pipes. The flow switching valve switches between refrigerant-circulation routes. The controller controls the compressor in accordance with a target outlet temperature, the heat medium temperature detected by the temperature sensor, and a heat medium pressure difference detected by the pressure sensor. When a load on an air handler decreases to a low level and is equal to or less than the compressor's lowest capacity, the controller controls the flow switching valve so that one of the air-side heat exchangers and the heat-medium-side heat exchanger are connected in parallel.

A system comprising a compressor, a first valve coupled to the compressor and coupled to a first coil, a first expansion valve coupled to the first coil, a second coil, and a second expansion valve. The second expansion valve coupled to a third coil, a second valve coupled to the compressor and the third coil. A controller operable to operate the first valve, the first expansion valve, the second expansion valve, and the second valve. The second coil is coupled to the compressor and the refrigerant flows from the second coil to the compressor.

A distributor includes an upstream flow path and a downstream flow path. The downstream flow path has a branch portion and a bent portion. The branch portion has a first connecting portion connected to the upstream flow path to branch a refrigerant flow from the first connecting portion in a second direction intersecting a first direction. The bent portion has a second connecting portion connected to the branch portion and is located downstream of the branch portion in the refrigerant flow. The second connecting portion of the bent portion is located downstream of the first connecting portion of the branch portion in the refrigerant flow.

Provided is a thermal management system. A compressor comprises a first flow channel for circulating a refrigerant and a second flow channel for circulating a cooling liquid, the first flow channel of the compressor being not in communication with the second flow channel of the compressor. The thermal management system can simultaneously execute a first refrigerating mechanism and a cooling mechanism, and can realize thermal management of both a vehicle compartment and a compressor; in the cooling mechanism, the cooling liquid flows through the second flow channel of the compressor, then waste heat of the compressor is brought to a third heat exchanger (14) by means of circulation flow of the cooling liquid, and heat is released into an atmospheric environment by means of the third heat exchanger (14), thereby reducing the temperature of the cooling liquid, and the compressor is cooled by means of circulation flow of the cooling liquid, such that the temperature of the refrigerant at an inlet of a compression assembly of the compressor is low, the concentration of the compressed refrigerant is high, such that the compression efficiency of the compressor can be increased, thereby increasing the working efficiency of the compressor.

An outdoor system for an air conditioner may include at least one outdoor unit, the at least one outdoor unit including a compressor; an outdoor heat exchanger; a pair of two-stage compression lines that extends to outside of the outdoor system; a pair of connection lines that extends to the outside of the outdoor system and communicates with an indoor unit; and multiple valves that open/close the pair of two-stage compression lines and the pair of connection lines when the outdoor system is operated in a one-stage heating mode or a two-stage heating mode.

An air-conditioner outdoor heat exchanger has a fin, multiple heat transfer pipes thermally connected to the fin, having a flat sectional shape, and configured such that refrigerant flows through header pipes connected to inlet and outlet sides of the heat transfer pipes. The refrigerant flows through the heat transfer pipes in parallel, and when the refrigerant returns from the outlet-side header pipe to the inlet-side header pipe through the heat transfer pipes, the refrigerant returns to the inlet-side header pipe through one of the heat transfer pipes adjacent to another one of the heat transfer pipes through which the refrigerant has flowed when flowing from the inlet-side header pipe to the outlet-side header pipe. At least two systems of refrigerant paths are formed, and the refrigerant flows back and forth in each system between the inlet-side header pipe and the outlet-side header pipe.

The present invention addresses a problem of providing a mixed refrigerant that combines three kinds of performances of having a refrigeration capacity (this may also be referred to as a cooling capacity) and of having a coefficient of performance (COP) equivalent to those of R410A, and of having a sufficiently small GWP. As a means for solving the problem, provided is a refrigerant-containing composition, wherein the refrigerant contains trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132 (E)), trifluoroethylene (HFO-1123) and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene (R1234yf), and R32.
