Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a control device, a control method, a control program, and a packaged air conditioning system including the control device.
  • a packaged air conditioning system used for air-conditioning a building or the like is configured so that a plurality of indoor units are connected to one outdoor unit.
  • the operation is controlled to be started/stopped per indoor unit, and a thermostat is controlled to be turned ON/OFF depending on whether an indoor temperature reaches a set temperature range.
  • the corresponding indoor unit does not require a heating capability.
  • the compressor of the outdoor unit continuous to operate and refrigerant, therefore, continuously flows in the system as a whole. Owing to this, in the indoor unit in which the thermostat is turned off or the indoor unit that is stopped to operate, the expansion valve of the indoor unit is not set closed but slightly opened to allow for the flow of the refrigerant so as to prevent the refrigerant from being accumulated in the indoor unit.
  • the following situation may possibly occur in the packaged air conditioning system.
  • the temperature sensor of the indoor unit does not operate properly to turn on the thermostat because of warm air filled in the indoor unit.
  • the conventional packaged air conditioning system has been designed such that the indoor fan of each indoor unit can perform an intermittent operation to be appropriately turned ON/OFF even in the state in which the thermostat is turned off so as to be able to detect the indoor temperature.
  • PTL 1 discloses the following technique. Among a plurality of indoor units each in a state in which a thermostat is turned off, the number of the simultaneously-driven indoor fans of the indoor units is limited, and the timing of driving the indoor fans is made different from that of driving the other fans, thereby suppressing a sharp decrease in the temperature of the air blown off from the indoor units.
  • the refrigerant is condensed in each indoor unit by allowing the indoor fan of the indoor unit to operate in the state in which the thermostat is turned off, resulting in an increase in the amount of the refrigerant necessary for the system. For this reason, there is a problem that a difference between a maximum and a minimum of the necessary amount of refrigerant becomes large and a receiver capacity increases accordingly.
  • the present invention has been made in view of aforementioned situations, and an object of the present invention is to provide a control device, a control method, a control program, and a packaged air conditioning system including the control device capable of allowing an indoor fan of each indoor unit in a state in which a thermostat is turned off to perform an intermittent operation while reducing a necessary amount of refrigerant and suppressing an increase in receiver capacity.
  • a first aspect of the present invention is a control device for controlling operation of a packaged air conditioning system in which a plurality of indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit, wherein during a heating operation, if an indoor fan of each of the indoor units performs an intermittent operation for repeating ON/OFF operations to stop for a predetermined time after rotating for a predetermined time at a time at which a thermostat is turned off, the control device forms a plurality of groups of the indoor units for matching timings for the intermittent operation of the respective indoor units, shifts the timing for the intermittent operation for each group, and controls assignment of the indoor units to the groups so that total model capacities of the indoor units that are included in the respective groups and are in a thermo-OFF state become approximately equal to each other.
  • the plurality of groups of the indoor units for matching the timings for the intermittent operation of the respective indoor units are formed, the timing for the intermittent operation is shifted for each group, and assignment of the indoor units to the groups is controlled so that the total model capacities of the indoor units that are included in the respective groups and are in the thermo-OFF state become approximately equal to each other.
  • the indoor units are assigned so that each total model capacity of the indoor units becomes equal. Accordingly, the amounts of refrigerant accumulating in a heat exchanger of the indoor unit during the on-period of the indoor fan in the thermo-OFF mode during a heating operation are averaged, whereby the necessary amount of refrigerant can be minimized. Therefore, a necessary amount of refrigerant can be reduced, and the receiver capacity can also be reduced as a result.
  • control device preferably sets a different timing of an on-period in the intermittent operation for each of the groups so that the on-periods of the groups do not overlap with each other.
  • the intermittent operation is performed with the on-period of the indoor fan varied in the different groups, and accordingly, the amount of refrigerant accumulating in the heat exchanger of the indoor unit during the on-period of the indoor fan can be suppressed to ensure a reduction in necessary amount of refrigerant.
  • control device preferably assigns the indoor unit that is switched from a thermo-ON state to a thermo-OFF state to the group with a smallest total model capacity of the indoor units, of the plurality of groups.
  • the indoor unit that has just entered the thermo-OFF state is assigned to the group with the smallest total model capacity, and accordingly, it is possible to avoid a case where a total model capacity of a certain group becomes large, and the respective model capacities of the groups can be approximated to equalization.
  • the indoor unit with a smallest model capacity in the group with the total model capacity equal to or larger than the predetermined ratio is preferably assigned to the group with the smallest total model capacity.
  • another indoor unit than the indoor unit with the model capacity equal to or larger than the predetermined ratio is preferably assigned to a group that is different from the group that includes the indoor unit with the model capacity equal to or larger than the predetermined ratio.
  • a second aspect of the present invention is a packaged air conditioning system having any control device mentioned above.
  • a third aspect of the present invention is a control method for controlling operation of a packaged air conditioning system in which a plurality of indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit, comprising: during a heating operation, if an indoor fan of each of the indoor units performs an intermittent operation for repeating ON/OFF operations to stop for a predetermined time after rotating for a predetermined time at a time at which a thermostat is turned off, forming a plurality of groups of the indoor units for matching timings for the intermittent operation of the respective indoor units; shifting the timing for the intermittent operation for each group; and controlling assignment of the indoor units to the groups so that total model capacities of the indoor units that are included in the respective groups and are in a thermo-OFF state become approximately equal to each other.
  • a fourth aspect of the present invention is a control program for controlling operation of a packaged air conditioning system in which a plurality of indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit, the program causing a computer to, during a heating operation, if an indoor fan of each of the indoor units performs an intermittent operation for repeating ON/OFF operations to stop for a predetermined time after rotating for a predetermined time at a time at which a thermostat is turned off, form a plurality of groups of the indoor units for matching timings for the intermittent operation of the respective indoor units, shift the timing for the intermittent operation for each group, and control assignment of the indoor units to the groups so that total model capacities of the indoor units that are included in the respective groups and are in a thermo-OFF state become approximately equal to each other.
  • the present invention can provide the effect that an indoor fan of an indoor unit in a state in which a thermostat is turned off can be operated intermittently while reducing a necessary amount of refrigerant and suppressing an increase in receiver capacity.
