The inverter converts the DC voltage supplied from a DC power supply to an AC voltage and applies the AC voltage to a motor by PWM control. The calculation unit detects the bus line current of the inverter using a resistor connected between the DC power supply and the inverter and, on the basis of the bus line current, calculates motor current flowing through a motor at intervals of a predetermined control period. The speed estimation unit estimates motor speed on the basis of a detection current that is the motor current detected by being calculated by the calculation unit. The current control unit has an integrator for performing integral control at intervals of the predetermined control period, stops performing the integral control in a control period in which the detection current is not detected, and controls the motor current so that the speed estimated by the speed estimation unit becomes a command speed.

Abstract

[Problem] To suppress a reduction in the heat exchange amount between a refrigerant and air caused by pressure loss. [Solution] In this indoor unit for an air conditioner, a second heat exchange unit has a high air velocity region in which the air velocity of air passing through the second heat exchange unit is relatively high, and a low air velocity region in which the air velocity of air is relatively low, and the high air velocity region is positioned above the low air velocity region in the direction of gravity. At least one first heat transfer tube is disposed in the high air velocity region, and at least one second heat transfer tube is disposed in the low air velocity region. A first header is connected to each of the first heat transfer tube and the second heat transfer tube. The first header has a first internal space to which the first heat transfer tube and the second heat transfer tube are commonly connected. When using the heat exchanger as a condenser, the refrigerant flowing out from the first heat exchange unit 110 flows into the first internal space of the first head, and then the refrigerant flows into each of the first heat transfer tube and the second heat transfer tube from the first internal space.

Abstract

A motor control device capable of improving damping effects of a motor. In a motor control device, a control switching determination unit determines whether or not a control region of a motor is in a voltage saturation region. A voltage command value generator generates a voltage command value of the motor based on a velocity command value and a velocity of the motor. When the control switching determination unit determines that the control region of the motor is in the voltage saturation region, the voltage command value generator determines a voltage vector angle of an output voltage applied to the motor from a total torque command value and a limit value of the maximum voltage capable of being output to the motor, and generates a voltage command value based on the voltage vector angle.

Abstract

An air conditioner of the present embodiment includes a heat exchanger unit in which an installation position of a suction temperature sensor can be changed and the air conditioner is capable of determining whether the installation position of the suction temperature sensor is correct. During a cooling operation, a heat exchange temperature is lower than a suction temperature, and during a heating operation, the heat exchange temperature is higher than the suction temperature. However, if a suction temperature sensor is incorrectly disposed on a downstream side of a flow of air in an indoor heat exchanger, the suction temperature detected by the suction temperature sensor is a temperature of indoor air after exchanging heat with a refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger, so that the heat exchange temperature and the suction temperature are close to each other regardless of the cooling operation or the heating operation.

Abstract

This air conditioner has a refrigerant circuit configured such that at least one indoor unit is connected to an outdoor unit with refrigerant piping. The air conditioner has a detection unit which detects a state quantity relating to control of the air conditioner, and an acquisition unit which acquires the state quantity detected value detected by the detection unit. Furthermore, the air conditioner has an abnormality estimation unit which, when the state quantity relating to an abnormality in the refrigerant circuit is set to the feature quantity, uses the detected value of said feature quantity to estimate the occurrence of an abnormality in the refrigerant circuit. The abnormality estimation unit estimates the occurrence of abnormalities in the refrigerant circuit for each pair consisting of one indoor unit and the outdoor unit, and, in the case of estimating that an abnormality has occurred in any pair, estimates that the abnormality has occurred in the indoor unit of said pair. Furthermore, in the case of estimating that an abnormality has occurred in all pairs, the abnormality estimation unit estimates that the abnormality has occurred in the outdoor unit. As a result, it is possible to detect whether an abnormality has occurred in an indoor unit or the outdoor unit.

The server has: a second communication unit that receives the detection value from the air conditioner; an estimation unit that, when a state quantity related to the amount of refrigerant filling the refrigerant circuit is set as a first characteristic amount, uses a detection value of the first characteristic amount to estimate a remaining refrigerant amount of the refrigerant remaining in the refrigerant circuit; and an discrimination unit that discriminates whether the detection value of the first characteristic amount is a detection value that should be used to estimate the remaining refrigerant amount. Consequently, an estimation accuracy for the remaining refrigerant amount can be increased even in a situation in which a characteristic amount used to estimate the remaining refrigerant amount is influenced by another defect.
