  • EP 1 437 558 A1 Such an air conditioning system and method of operating an air conditioning system in known from EP 1 437 558 A1 .
  • An air conditioning system and method for controlling the same is also known from EP 1 371 914 A1 .
  • a multi air conditioner system comprises an outdoor unit, a plurality of indoor units connected in parallel to the outdoor unit, a branch unit having a plurality of high-pressure and low-pressure gas valves to control the flow rate of refrigerant, introduced into the indoor units, and high-pressure and low-pressure gas pipes connected between the outdoor unit and valves of the branch unit.
  • An example of such an air conditioner system is disclosed in JP-A-1 993-099525 .
  • the conventional multi air conditioner system is capable of performing a cooling operation, a heating operation, a mainly cooling operation and a mainly heating operation based on a heating ratio (or a cooling ratio).
  • the cooling operation is performed when the heating ratio is 0 % (i.e., when the indoor unit(s) in operation are operated in cooling mode)
  • the heating operation is performed when the heating ratio is 100 % (i.e., when the indoor unit(s) in operation are operated in heating mode)
  • the mainly cooling operation is performed when the heating ratio is greater than 0 % and less than 50 % (i.e., when the total capacity of the indoor unit(s) in cooling operation is greater than the total capacity of the indoor unit(s) in heating operation)
  • mainly heating operation is performed when the heating ratio is greater than or equal to 50 % and less than 100 % (i.e., when the total capacity of the indoor unit(s) in cooling operation are less than or equal to the total capacity of the indoor unit(s) in heating operation).
  • the high-pressure gas valve(s), connected to the indoor unit(s) in heating operation are opened and the low-pressure gas valve(s), connected to the indoor unit(s) in heating operation, are closed. Also, the high-pressure gas valve(s) connected to the indoor unit(s) where the cooling operation is set are closed, and the low-pressure gas valve(s) connected to the indoor unit(s) where the cooling operation is set are opened.
  • high-temperature gas refrigerant is introduced into the indoor unit(s) for heating operation and low-temperature gas refrigerant is introduced into the indoor unit(s) for cooling operation, so that cooling and heating operations can be performed concurrently by different indoor units.
  • the mainly cooling or heating operation is identified on the basis of the heating ratio and, therefore, mainly heating or cooling operation modes may be set inappropriately some cases.
  • the heating ratio is 53 %, for example, mainly heating operation is performed irrespective of outdoor temperature. If the outdoor temperature is high at this time, the temperature of an outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit is high and, therefore, the pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger is relatively high. Consequently, the temperature of the indoor heat exchangers of the indoor units, connected to the outdoor heat exchanger through a four-way valve, is increased and, therefore, the cooling efficiency of the indoor units performing cooling operation is reduced.
  • the compression capacity of the compressor must be reduced to protect the compressor. If the compression capacity of the compressor is reduced, however, the heating efficiency of the indoor units performing heating operation as well as the cooling efficiency of the indoor units performing the cooling operation is reduced.
  • the mainly cooling operation is performed. If the interior temperature of a room being cooled is decreased, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit performing the cooling operation is also decreased. As a result, the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit performing the cooling operation becomes frozen.
  • the compression capacity of the compressor must be reduced in order to prevent the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit performing the cooling operation from being frozen and, therefore, the heating and cooling efficiencies of the respective indoor units are lowered.
  • the capabilities of the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor units in heating operation are greater than the capability of the indoor units in cooling operation. As a result, it is difficult to form high pressure at the outlet side of the compressor and, therefore, the heating efficiency of the indoor unit(s) performing the heating operation is also lowered.
  • An air conditioning system is characterised in that the control means is configured to set a mode changeover reference, corresponding to a ratio of operational heating or cooling capacity to operational heating and cooling capacity, in dependence on the output of said temperature sensor, and set the operation mode in dependence on a comparison between the current operational heating or cooling capacities and the mode changeover reference.
  • the mode changeover reference is set such that changeover occurs at a reduced ratio of current heating operation capacity to current heating and cooling operation capacity when the temperature sensed by said temperature sensor is below a predetermined reference temperature.
  • a method of controlling an air conditioning system is characterised by the steps of setting a mode changeover reference, which corresponds to a ratio of the operational heating or cooling capacity to operational heating and cooling capacities of the indoor units, in dependence on the output of said temperature sensor, and setting the operation mode in dependence on a comparison between the current operational heating or cooling capacities and the mode changeover reference.
  • the method further comprises the steps of setting the mode changeover reference to a first reference value when the temperature sensed by the outdoor air temperature sensor is higher than or equal to a reference temperature, and setting the mode changeover reference to a second reference value, which is less than the first reference value, when the outdoor temperature is lower than said reference temperature.

  • the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 11 is supplied to indoor heat exchangers of indoor units in heating operation through the high-pressure gas pipe 17, is condensed by the indoor heat exchangers to heat rooms and is then delivered to the high-pressure liquid pipe 19 through expansion valves.

  • the outdoor temperature is measured by the outdoor temperature sensor 25 to determine the outdoor temperature as well as the heating ratio when deciding the combined (i.e. mainly heating or mainly cooling) operation mode (50) and then the sum of the capacities of the indoor units in cooling operation and the sum of the capacities of the indoor units in heating operation are obtained to calculate the heating ratio (52).
  • the first reference temperature is preferably set to a minimum outdoor temperature, where the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger 13 is raised in mainly heating mode reducing the cooling and heating efficiencies of the entire system.
  • the first reference temperature is 15 °C as shown in Figure 4 , although the first reference temperature may be different in different systems.
  • the heating ratio is less than or equal to a second reference value (64). If the heating ratio is less than or equal to the second reference value, the system operates in mainly cooling mode (66) and, if the heating ratio is greater than the second reference value, the system operates in mainly heating mode (68).
  • the second reference value is set to 50 % as shown in Figure 4 , although the second reference value may be different for different systems.
  • the heating ratio is less than or equal to a first reference value (56).
  • the first reference value is preferably set to above the second reference value. As shown in Figure 4 , the first reference value is 55 %. If the heating ratio is less than or equal to the first reference value, the system operates in mainly cooling mode (58) and, if the heating ratio is greater than the first reference value, the system operates in mainly heating mode (62).
  • the heating ratio reference value which is a critical factor in deciding which combined operation mode to use, is set to high and, therefore, the system operates in mainly cooling mode for a portion of the heating ratio at which the system operates in mainly heating mode (when the heating ratio is 50 to 55 % in Figure 4 ) in the prior art. Consequently, the system operates in mainly heating mode, when the outdoor temperature is high, to prevent the cooling and heating efficiencies of the multi air conditioner system from being reduced.
  • Operation 50 is performed to reset the combined operation mode (60).
  • the combined operation mode is decided upon using two different reference values according to the outdoor temperature, although the outdoor temperature may be divided to set reference values based on the divided outdoor temperature.
  • the reference values are preferably predetermined and stored in the microcomputer.
  • the outdoor temperature is measured by the outdoor temperature sensor 25 and the indoor temperatures are measured by the first to fourth temperature sensors 37a, 37b, 37c, 37d of the indoor units 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d to set the combined operation mode (70) and then the sum of capacities of the indoor units in cooling operation and the sum of capacities of the indoor units in heating operation are obtained to calculate the heating ratio (72).
  • the required cooling capacity is the sum of capacities of the indoor units in cooling operation. If the required cooling capacity is greater than 20 % of the total capacity of the indoor units, Operation 54 of Figure 5 is performed. If the required cooling capacity is less than or equal to 20 % of the total capacity of the indoor units, on the other hand, it is determined whether the temperatures of the rooms, in which the indoor units are in cooling operation, are lower than or equal to a second reference temperature (76).
  • the second reference temperature is the maximum temperature at which the heat exchangers of the indoor units in the cooling operation may be frozen in the mainly cooling mode.
  • Operation 54 of Figure 5 is performed. If the temperatures of the rooms, in which the indoor units are in cooling operation, are higher than the second reference temperature, Operation 54 of Figure 5 is performed. If the temperatures of the rooms, in which the indoor units are in cooling operation, are lower than or equal to a second reference temperature, it is determined whether the heating ratio is greater than or equal to a third reference value (78).
  • the third reference value is set at a heating ratio of below 50 % as shown in Figure 6 . In the illustrated embodiment, the third reference value is 30 %. Consequently, mainly heating mode is used instead of mainly cooling mode in a range where the prior art employs mainly cooling mode (i.e. 30 to 50 %) to prevent the performance of the system from being lowered due to control to prevent the indoor units from being frozen.
  • Operation 70 is performed. If the conditions of Operations 74, 76 and 78 are not satisfied, Operation 54 of Figure 5 is performed, although the main operation mode may be set according to the conventional method as shown in Figure 1 (i.e. only based on the heating ratio).
  • the combined operation modes of the multi air conditioner system is decided upon considering both the heating ratio and other conditions, although the combined operation mode of the multi air conditioner system may be decided considering both cooling ratio and other conditions.
  • the main operation mode may be decided considering the outdoor temperature as well as the heating ratio (or the cooling ratio) in combined heating and cooling operation. Consequently, the present invention can have the effect of preventing the combined operation mode from being improperly set at the specific range of the heating ratio and, therefore, preventing performance of the system from being deteriorated.
  • the relatively small heating ratio reference value is set to determine the combined operation mode. Consequently, the present invention can have the effect of preventing the combined operation mode from being improperly set at a specific range of the heating ratio and, therefore, preventing the performance of the system from being deteriorated.
