Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an air conditioner, and particularly, to a method for controlling an air conditioner having a multi-compressor.
  • an air conditioner cools warm air or heats cool air in a room.
  • a construction of an air conditioner having two compressors in accordance with a conventional art will now be described with reference to Figure 1.
  • the two compressors are selectively operated according to a cooling load of a room.
  • Figure 1 a schematic view showing a construction of an air conditioner having two compressors in accordance with the conventional art.
  • the air conditioner having two compressors includes a first compressor 18A and a second compressor 18B selectively operated according to a cooling load of a room to vary a compressing capacity; a condenser 1 for radiating heat of a refrigerant compressed by the first and second compressors 18A, 18B; an expansion valve 2 for expanding the refrigerant discharged from the condenser 1; and an evaporator 3 receiving the refrigerant expanded by the expansion valve 2 and generating cool air.
  • the first compressor 18A is a compressor of a small compressing capacity
  • the second compressor 18B is a compressor of a high compressing capacity
  • suction pipes 9, 13 respectively connected to the first compressor 18A and the second compressor 18B are connected by hoses 5, 7 diverged from a suction hose 4 connected to the evaporator 3.
  • discharge pipes 11, 14 respectively connected to the first compressor 18A and the second compressor 18B are connected by hoses 10, 16 diverged from a discharge hose 17 connected to the condenser 1.
  • suction valves 6, 8 and discharge valves 12, 15 which are selectively opened/closed by hand or a control means such as a microcomputer or the like.
  • the air conditioner having two compressors controls a cooling cycle by operating the first compressor 18A or/and the second compressor 18B according to a cooling load. That is, compressing capacity of the compressors are changed in such a manner that the air conditioner operates only the first compressor 18A when a cooling load of a room is small, operates only the second compressor 18B when the cooling load of a room is large, and operates both first and second compressors 18A, 18B when the cooling load of the room is maximum.
  • an air conditioner having four compressors has been used.
  • General operations of the air conditioner having four compressors are the same as those of the air conditioner of Figure 1.
  • the four compressors may be designed to have the same compressing capacity or may be designed to have different compressing capacities.
  • an internal temperature is controlled by increasing or decreasing a compressing capacity of the compressors level (10%) by level depending on the cooling load. For example, in case the air conditioner is in a cooling mode, if an internal temperature reaches a temperature lower than a desired temperature preset by a user by 0.5 degree, the compressors are operated for the certain time with a compressing capacity lower than a previous compressing capacity by one level. After the certain time elapses, the desired temperature and an internal temperature are compared again. If the internal temperature is not the same as the desired temperature (lower or higher than the desired temperature), the compressors are operated with a compressing capacity higher or lower than a previous compressing capacity by one level.
  • a compressing capacity of the compressor is increased or decreased level by level depending on an internal cooling load or a heating load. Accordingly, the air conditioner slowly copes with the cooling load or the heating load, and energy loss of the air conditioner is increased. For example, on the assumption that total compressing capacity is 100%, when the air conditioner intends to lower the compressing capacity of the compressor from 70% to 50%, the compressing capacity of 70% is lowered to 60% and then the compressing capacity of 60% is lowered to 50%.

  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling an air conditioner having a multi-compressors capable of improving pleasantness by pre-storing a compressing capacity according to a temperature difference between a previous room temperature and a previous desired temperature and body adaptation time, changing the desired temperature according to the body adaptation time and changing the pre-stored compressing capacity based on a temperature difference between a current room temperature and the changed desired-temperature.

  • a preferred embodiment of a method for controlling an air conditioner having a multi-compressor capable of improving capability for coping with a cooling load or a heat load, reducing energy loss and improving pleasantness in a room by pre-storing a compressing capacity according to a temperature difference between a previous room temperature and a desired temperature and body adaptation time, changing the desired temperature when the body adaptation time elapses while compressors are operated after the pre-stored compressing capacity has been changed based on a current room temperature and the desired temperature, and changing the changed compressing capacity again based on a temperature difference between the current room temperature and the changed desired temperature.
  • Figure 3 is a flow chart of a method for controlling an air conditioner having a multi-compressor in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • a method for controlling an air conditioner having a multi-compressor in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a step in which when an internal temperature is controlled at a previous stage, compressing capacity of compressors according to a temperature difference between a previous room temperature and a desired temperature set by a user, and body adaptation time (time taken to adapt a human body to a temperature) are pre-stored; a step in which when a user selects a cooling mode and a current room temperature reaches a lower limit temperature less than a desired temperature set by a user, the pre-stored compressing capacity is changed to preset compressing capacity in order to maintain the lower limit temperature, and the compressors are operated with the changed compressing capacity; a step in which after the compressors has been operated for the preset time with the changed compressing capacity, a temperature difference between the current room temperature and the desired temperature is detected in order to operate the compressors with optical compressing capacity, the changed compressing capacity is changed again to preset compressing capacity according to the detected temperature difference, and
  • the multi-compressor consists of four compressors, and total compressing capacity of the four compressors is 100%, two compressors each having a compressing capacity of 20% and two compressors each having a compressing capacity of 30% are respectively installed in the air condition, a user selects a cooling mode, and two compressors having a compressing capacity of 20% and one compressor having a compressing capacity of 30% are operated (operating the compressors with the pre-stored compressing capacity).

  • the operation mode is for operating the compressors with the changed compressing capacity
  • the maximum operation mode is for operating the compressors with total compressing capacity (100%) of the multi-compressor
  • the previous operation mode is for operating the compressors with a pre-stored compressing capacity (e.g., 70%).
  • a method for controlling an air conditioner having a multi-compressor in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention may further include: a step in which the changed compressing capacity is changed again to preset compressing capacity according to the detected temperature difference, a new desired temperature is set by changing the desired temperature when the body adaptation time elapses while the compressors are operated with the re-changed compressing capacity, a temperature difference between the new desired temperature and a current room temperature is detected, the current compressing capacity is changed to preset compressing capacity according to the detected temperature difference and the compressors are operated with the changed compressing capacity.
  • the compressing capacity of the compressors are changed to preset compressing capacity according to a temperature difference between a room temperature and a desired temperature. But, in order to explain a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it is assumed that four compressors are applied to the air conditioner, total compressing capacity of the four compressors is 100%, and the preset compressing capacity is 70%.
  • the body adaptation time means time taken to adapt a human body to a specific temperature and is slightly different depending on a person. But in general, when exposed to a specific temperature (e.g., 20 degrees) for 20 ⁇ 40 minutes, a human body adapts to the specific temperature. Accordingly, in order to provide a user with pleasantness, preferably, the desired temperature is changed every thirty minutes.
  • the pre-stored compressing capacity is changed to preset compressing capacity (e.g., 50%) in order to maintain the lower limit temperature (S5).
  • the lower limit temperature is near the desired temperature set by a user and is lower than 1 degree (e.g., 0.5 degree). For example, on the assumption that a desired temperature is 20 degrees and the lower limit temperature is 0.5 degree, when the room temperature is 19.5 degrees, the compressors are operated with a preset compressing capacity (e.g. 50% of total compressing capacity) in order to maintain 19.5 degrees.

  • the changed compressing capacity e.g. 50%
  • the compressors are operated with the decreased compressing capacity (S9).
  • the compressing capacity of 70% is changed to compressing capacity of 50%, and the compressors are operated with the changed compressing capacity of 50% for the preset time (e.g., three minutes). Thereafter, when a temperature difference between the current room temperature and the desired temperature is larger than 2 degrees, the compressing capacity of 50% is increased by 20%, and the compressors are operated with the increased compressing capacity. When the temperature difference between the current room temperature and the desired temperature is 1 ⁇ 2 degrees, the compressing capacity of 50% is increased by 10%, and the compressors are operated with the increased compressing capacity.
  • the compressing capacity of 50% is maintained.
  • the compressors are stopped, or the compressing capacity of 50% is decreased and the compressors are operated with the decreased compressing capacity.
  • the compressing capacity changed according to the temperature difference between the room temperature and the desired temperature is preset according to the number of compressors mounted in an air conditioner and a compressing capacity ratio of the compressors.

  • the compressing capacity of a multi-compressor is quickly changed and the compressors are operated with the changed compressing capacity, by pre-storing a compressing capacity according to a temperature difference between a previous room temperature and a previous desired temperature when a room temperature is controlled at a previous stage, and then changing the pre-stored compressing capacity based on a temperature difference between a current room temperature and a current desired temperature. For example, when compressing capacity is lowered from 70% to 50%, the compressing capacity of 70% is directly lowered to a compressing capacity of 50%. For this reason, an air conditioner in accordance with the present invention quickly copes with a cooling load and a heating load, and its energy loss can be reduced.
  • the changed compressing capacity is changed again to preset compressing capacity according to the detected temperature difference, and the compressors are operated with the re-changed compressing capacity (S9).
  • the desired temperature is changed by adding or subtracting a preset value (e.g., 1 degree) to/from the desired temperature (S11).
