Like this in above-mentioned control system, according to the action command from remote controller 17 or control assembly 20, the air-conditioning action of beginning system under the supervision of the entire system of control assembly 20, is proceeded the air-conditioning action.
Then, according to the control flow chart of the embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 4 action is described.In the present embodiment, suppose many indoor unit a (a1, a2 ..., an), b (b1, b2 ..., bn) aggregate capacity surpassed the capacity of 1 outdoor unit A.
In control module Fig. 2, control system diagram 3, if at first exported the running instruction from remote controller 17 or control assembly 20, then final instruction, entry into service in step 101 according to control assembly 20.Then, in step 102, judge whether to exist not (stopping) indoor unit from control assembly 20 output running instructions.Judge by the collect indoor unit a of self- controller 24 and 25, the information of b of control assembly 20.
In this result of determination is under the situation of " denying ", and all indoor unit a, b entry into service are so cause 1 outdoor unit A to surpass its capacity ground running.In order to prevent this phenomenon, the running that stops all indoor units begins, and then gives a warning in step 120.In step 102, under the situation of " being ", transfer to step 103, whether the aggregate capacity of the indoor unit that judgement will be turned round is more than the capacity of outdoor unit A.
Under the situation that is judged as " denying " of this step 103, owing to do not surpass the capacity of outdoor unit A, the indoor unit of intended operation can turn round beginning running usually in step 121.In step 103,, if still turn round, then cause the capacity that surpasses 1 outdoor unit A, and become the refrigerating/heating recurrent state of lack of refrigerant under the situation of " being ".Therefore, in step 104,, begin to reclaim not, transfer to step 105 from the control of the refrigerant-recovery running action of the cold-producing medium of (stopping) indoor units of control assembly 20 output running instructions in order to ensure the refrigerant amount of necessity.
In step 105, the outside that should reclaim the indoor unit in the stopping of cold-producing medium is installed the connection state of decompressor and confirm.That is, judge whether to be connected with the outside that constitutes by expansion valve 6 and electromagnetic opening and closing valve 7 decompressor C is installed.This judgement is in system diagram 3, to be carried out according to the information of indoor unit a or the information of indoor unit b by control assembly 20.In addition, the indoor unit that should reclaim cold-producing medium in the indoor unit in stopping to be meant, the refrigerant amount of indoor unit adds up and indoor unit that quilt when having reached the amount that reclaim has added up in being stopped by 20 pairs of control assemblies.
In the judgement of step 105,, transfer to step 106 and step 115 respectively, no matter be which all makes and reclaim the indoor unit entry into service under the situation of " being " and " denying ".In step 105,, transfer to step 107, judge whether operation mode is refrigeration from step 106 under the situation of " being ".Under the situation of cooling operation pattern (" being "), in step 108, close the expansion valve 6 of decompressor C, in step 109, make cooling operation continue the scheduled time.In addition, in step 105 for the indoor unit of the situation of " being " owing to the outside decompressor C is installed and is connected, so in Fig. 1, be meant indoor unit b1, b2 ..., bn.
For this cooling operation, be that example describes with situation in Fig. 1 from indoor unit b1 recovery cold-producing medium.In this cooling operation, refrigerant piping D2 is the outlet, and refrigerant piping D1 is an incoming road.
In step 108, closed expansion valve 6, but owing to carrying out cooling operation, so magnetic valve 7 is opened.If under this state, continue cooling operation, then cold-producing medium flows into outdoor unit A through refrigerant piping D1 along the solid arrow direction via magnetic valve 7, and on the other hand, the mobile valve 6 that is inflated of the cold-producing medium of refrigerant piping D2 stops.Therefore, the cold-producing medium of indoor unit b1 is recycled to the refrigerant tank 15 of outdoor unit A from heat exchanger 4 and connected refrigerant piping.
If in step 109, make cooling operation carry out the scheduled time, then magnetic valve 7 is closed in step 110.The cooling operation of indoor unit b1 stops in step 111 then, and refrigerant-recovery running control finishes.In addition, through closing magnetic valve 7, when common operation of air conditioner, cold-producing medium is invalidly invaded in heat exchanger 4 grades in the indoor unit b1.
In step 107,, in step 112, close the magnetic valve 7 of decompressor C, in step 113, make to heat the running continuation scheduled time under the situation of " denying " (heating operation mode).Heat in the running at this, refrigerant piping D1 is the outlet, and refrigerant piping D2 is an incoming road.
Heating running for this, is that example describes with the situation from indoor unit b1 recovery cold-producing medium in Fig. 1.Magnetic valve 7 cuts out in step 112, but owing to carrying out heating running, so expansion valve 6 is opened.If under this state, continue to heat running, then cold-producing medium flows into outdoor unit A through refrigerant piping D2 along the dotted arrow direction via expansion valve 6, and on the other hand, flowing of the cold-producing medium of refrigerant piping D1 stoped by magnetic valve 7.Therefore, the cold-producing medium of indoor unit b1, the cold-producing medium that promptly is included in heat exchanger 4 and the connected refrigerant piping are recycled in the refrigerant tank 15 of outdoor unit A.
Heating turns round has carried out the scheduled time if in step 113, make, and then in step 114, closes expansion valve 6.The running that heats of indoor unit b1 stops in step 111 then, and refrigerant-recovery running control finishes.In addition, through closing expansion valve 6, when common operation of air conditioner, cold-producing medium is invalidly invaded in heat exchanger 4 grades in the indoor unit b1.
Getting back to the front, is under the situation of " denying " in step 105, and the running of beginning indoor unit judges in step 116 whether operation mode is refrigeration in step 115.For under the situation of " being ", in step 117, close expansion valve 5 in the cooling operation pattern, in step 118, make cooling operation continue the scheduled time.In addition, the indoor unit of situation that is " denying " in step 105 is owing to not install decompressor C with the outside and be not connected, thus in Fig. 1, be meant indoor unit a1, a2 ..., an.
For cooling operation, be that example describes with the situation that reclaims cold-producing medium from indoor unit a2 of Fig. 1.If under the state of having closed expansion valve 5, carry out cooling operation, then cold-producing medium flows into outdoor unit A through refrigerant piping D1 along the solid arrow direction from indoor unit a2, and on the other hand, the mobile valve 5 that is inflated of the cold-producing medium of refrigerant piping D2 stops.Therefore, the cold-producing medium of indoor unit a2, the cold-producing medium that promptly is included among indoor heat converter 4 and the connected refrigerant piping D1 are recycled in the refrigerant tank 15 of outdoor unit A.
If in step 118, make cooling operation carry out the scheduled time, then the cooling operation of indoor unit a2 stops in step 111, and refrigerant-recovery running control finishes.Under this state, because the refrigerant piping D1 of the opposition side of expansion valve 5 opens, so cold-producing medium might flow in the indoor heat converter 4 of indoor unit a2 through it and when common operation of air conditioner.In order to prevent this phenomenon reliably, also can connect magnetic valve 7, and in step 122, close this magnetic valve 7 as appending to the refrigerant piping D1 of indoor unit a2 in that kind shown in the with dashed lines among Fig. 1.
Be under the situation of " denying " in step 116; Indoor unit a2 is in and heats in the running and the flow direction of cold-producing medium is the dotted arrow direction; But owing to do not stop the magnetic valve 7 that flows of the cold-producing medium of refrigerant piping D1; And expansion valve 5 is opened on the other hand, thus cold-producing medium only through and can't reclaim.Therefore, in step 119, stop the running of indoor unit a2, and give a warning.
