Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vapor-liquid separating space is provided in a body. The body houses a fixed throttle-decompressing liquid-phase refrigerant, and an integration valve member selectively opening or closing a liquid-phase refrigerant passage and a vapor-phase refrigerant passage. The integration valve member is moved by a stepping motor connected to the integration valve member via a shaft. Accordingly, a cycle configuration of a heat pump cycle working as a gas injection cycle can be simplified.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An integration valve used for a heat pump cycle, which is capable of working as a gas injection cycle and includes (i) a compressor, which decompresses refrigerant drawn from a suction port, discharges high-pressure refrigerant from a discharge port, and has an intermediate-pressure port drawing intermediate-pressure refrigerant in the cycle and mixing the intermediate-pressure refrigerant with refrigerant being decompressed, (ii) a using-side heat exchanger,…
