REFRIGERATION CYCLE DEVICE

To solve the problem that although a cross sectional area of a refrigerant outlet flow path is desirably small in a condenser, a cross sectional area of a refrigerant inlet flow path is desirably small in an evaporator, so that it is impossible to adjust the cross sectional area of a refrigerant flow path in a counterflow heat exchanger for both condensation and evaporation.SOLUTION: A refrigeration cycle device comprises a heat exchanger composed of a plurality of heat transfer fins and a plurality of heat transfer tubes, and refrigerant flow adjustment means of adjusting a direction of refrigerant flow. The heat exchanger comprises a first heat exchanger section and a second heat exchanger section, so that even in either case that the heat exchanger functions as an evaporator or condenser, it is possible to make the direction of air flow and the direction of refrigerant flow as counterflows, and reduce the number of refrigerant flow adjustment means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】縮器においては冷媒出口流路断面積が小さいほうが望ましいが、蒸発器では冷媒入口流路断面積が小さいほうが望ましくなり、凝縮、蒸発とも対向流の熱交換器では冷媒流路断面積の調整を行うことができないという課題がある。【解決手段】複数の伝熱フィンと、複数の伝熱管とで構成された熱交換器と、冷媒の流れる方向を調整する冷媒流れ調整手段を備え、熱交換器は、第一熱交換器区画と、第二熱交換器区画を備えることで、熱交換器が蒸発器若しくは凝縮器として機能するいずれの場合でも空気の流れ方向と冷媒の流れ方向を対向流とするとともに、冷媒流れ調整手段の数を減らすことができる冷凍サイクル装置を提供する。【選択図】図２
