Abstract

This air conditioner using a non‐azeotropic refrigerant mixture suppresses dew generated due to a temperature difference caused inside an evaporator and a refrigerant sound generated by a refrigerant flowing through the evaporator. The air conditioner comprises: a refrigerant circuit (2) in which a compressor (12), an outdoor heat exchanger (13), an indoor-machine side expansion valve (8), and an indoor heat exchanger (7) are sequentially connected and a non‐azeotropic refrigerant mixture is circulated as a refrigerant; a blower (9) that blows air to the indoor heat exchanger (7); and a control unit (3) that controls the opening of the indoor-machine side expansion valve (8) and the air amount of the blower (9). When a dew generation determination means (20), for determining whether dew is generated due to air passed through the indoor heat exchanger (7), determines that the dew is generated in a cooling operation state or a dehumidification operation state, the control unit (3) controls the opening of the indoor-machine side expansion valve (8) or the air amount of the blower (9) to thereby control the degree of dryness of the refrigerant at the outlet side of the indoor heat exchanger (7) so that enthalpy on the outlet side of the indoor heat exchanger (7) decreases.

Abstract

Provided is an air conditioner comprising a heat exchanger unit in which the installation position of an intake temperature sensor can be changed, the air conditioner making it possible to determine whether the intake temperature sensor has been installed in the correct position. During an air-cooling operation, the heat exchange temperature Th is lower than the intake temperature Ti, and during an air-warming operation, the heat exchange temperature Th is higher than the intake temperature Ti. However, if an intake temperature sensor 62 is erroneously positioned on the downstream side with respect to the airflow in an indoor heat exchanger 51, the intake temperature Ti detected by the intake temperature sensor 62 would be the temperature of indoor air after having exchanged heat with a refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 51, and the heat exchange temperature Th and the intake temperature Ti would be near each other regardless of whether the operation is air-cooling operation or air-warming operation. Therefore, if the temperature difference ΔT between the heat exchange temperature Th and the intake temperature Ti is a value greater than –5°C and less than +5°C, it can be determined that the heat exchange temperature Th and the intake temperature Ti are near each other, i.e., the intake temperature sensor 62 is erroneously positioned.

Abstract

Provided is an air conditioner capable of selecting either a fan rotation speed determined on the basis of a static pressure value and an air volume or a required fan rotation speed. Motor control means 600 determines, on the basis of the static pressure Pt, the fan rotation speed Rm of a fan motor 55a that provides the air volume Av required by the user, and transmits the determined fan rotation speed Rm to an indoor unit control means 500. When the fan rotation speed Rm received from the motor control means 600 is a prohibited rotation speed, the indoor unit control means 500 transmits a correction fan rotation speed different from the prohibited rotation speed to the motor control means 600, and the motor control means 600 drives the fan motor 55a at the received correction fan rotation speed. That is, the drive of the fan motor 55a is controlled such that the fan motor 55a is driven at the fan rotation speed Rm based on the air volume Av requested by the user, and the fan motor 55a is driven at the correction fan rotation speed indicated by the indoor unit control means 500.
