Abstract

Provided is a refrigeration machine having: a refrigeration cycle having a compressor, a condenser, an expander, an evaporator, piping (12) which sequentially connects the compressor, the condenser, the expander, and the evaporator, and discharge piping; and an acoustic device (13) provided to the piping (12). The acoustic device (13) has a space formation section (14) having a space (S) formed therein and also having an open first end (14a) which is connected to the piping (12) so as to be in communication therewith; an extendible and contractible bellows pipe (21) connected to an open second end of the space formation section (14); and a sealing section (20) provided to the end of the bellows pipe (21), which is located on the opposite side thereof from the space formation section (14).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A chiller comprising:
 a refrigeration cycle including a compressor, a condenser, an expander, an evaporator, a pipe that sequentially connects the compressor, the condenser, the expander, and the evaporator, and a discharge pipe; and   an acoustic device provided in the pipe,   wherein the acoustic device includes a space formation section in which a space is formed and which has an open first end connected to the pipe in a communicating state,   a bellows pipe that is connected to an open second end of the space formation section and is extendable and contractable, and   a sealing section that is provided in an end portion of the bellows pipe on a side opposite to the space formation section.   
     
     
         2 . The chiller according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the space formation section includes a first tubular section having a cylindrical shape, a second tubular section having a cylindrical shape, and a second bellows pipe connecting the first tubular section to the second tubular section,   the first end is an end portion of the first tubular section on a side opposite to the second bellows pipe, and   the second end is an end portion of the second tubular section on a side opposite to the second bellows pipe.   
     
     
         3 . The chiller according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the space formation section includes a tubular section that has one end portion connected to the pipe in a communicating state, and a container section that has an open first opening connected to the other end portion of the tubular section in a communicating state and has a volume larger than a volume of the space in the tubular section, and   the bellows pipe is connected to an open second opening of the container section.   
     
     
         4 . The chiller according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the acoustic device includes a porous plate disposed at a boundary between the space formation section and a flow path of the pipe.   
     
     
         5 . The chiller according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the acoustic device includes a porous plate disposed at a boundary between the space formation section and a flow path of the pipe.   
     
     
         6 . The chiller according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the acoustic device includes a porous plate disposed at a boundary between the space formation section and a flow path of the pipe.
