The refrigerant structure 12e and the adsorbent 12d are fixed so as to form a refrigerant passage 12h between the tubular structure 12a and the refrigerant passage 12h in one direction. A control valve 12i for controlling the refrigerant flow path 12j flowing into the opening / closing valve 12f at the center of the fixing member 12g to flow in from the one connection hole 12b and to discharge from the other connection hole 12b is provided on the left and right sides of the refrigerant passage 12h. .

Here, the meshes of the first, second, and third strainers 11a, 11b, and 11c, which are the strainers 11 installed in the circuit, are usually 30 to 100 mesh, and are fibrous such as glass wool in the dryer filter 12. The foreign matter removing ability of the structure 12e is selected to be 150 to 300 mesh in order to capture fine foreign matters circulating in the circuit. For example, it is preferable to select 200 mesh.

When the heating trial operation time ends, the operation is automatically changed to the operation set when the indoor remote controller is pressed.

  Here, the compressor ON / OFF count monitored by the control unit 25 can be substituted by the compressor operation accumulated time. When the compressor operation accumulated time is 0, the initial forced heating operation is similarly performed. To do. The strong acid and chlorine content is controlled to pass through the activated carbon filter 17 by transmitting a command to fully close the second electronic expansion valve 6 and open the electromagnetic valve 16 from the control unit during the initial heating operation.

For example, the indoor suction temperature sensor 19 and the outdoor suction temperature sensor 21 may be used to The temperature and the outdoor temperature are detected. For example, the discharge gas is detected based on the threshold values of the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature as shown in FIG. 4 representing the control threshold value of each circuit component during the initial heating operation of the air conditioner. The control method for the compressor 1, the indoor blower 20, and the outdoor blower 22 is changed according to the control method of each circuit component for reducing the temperature and pressure rise and the indoor / outdoor temperature conditions.

When the indoor temperature is 25 ° C. or higher and the outdoor temperature is 30 ° C. or lower, the compressor is normally controlled, the indoor blower has the minimum air flow, and the outdoor blower has the medium air flow. When the indoor temperature is 25 ° C. or lower and the outdoor temperature is 30 ° C. or higher, the compressor is normally controlled, the indoor fan is at the minimum air volume, and the outdoor fan is stopped. When the indoor temperature is 25 ° C. or higher and the outdoor temperature is 30 ° C. or higher, the compressor is operated at the lowest frequency, the indoor fan is in the middle air volume, and the outdoor fan is stopped.

The indoor suction temperature sensor 19 and the outdoor suction temperature sensor 21 are assumed to be operated by a plurality of temperature sensors or pressure sensors (none of which are shown) installed in the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. a temperature-outdoor temperature conditions, measured happens to any temperature and pressure conditions in advance, by previously inputted as a threshold, it can be substituted by the temperature sensor or the pressure sensor.

During this initial heating operation, since a relatively small amount of foreign matter remaining in the gas pipe 9 passes through the indoor unit, the indoor distributor strainer 26 is not installed, or a coarser one than # 50 that is not clogged by foreign matter is used. It is preferable.

Finally, in Step 8, the process shifts to remote control setting automatic operation, and ends in Step 9.

Further, in Step 2 in FIG. 5, if there is a compressor failure history and the outdoor unit cannot be operated, the process proceeds to NO. Next, at Step 10, since the pump-down operation cannot be performed when the compressor is broken, the liquid side blocking valve 23 and the gas side blocking valve 24 are closed, and the old refrigeration cycle in the old refrigeration cycle is closed using a dedicated recovery device. After collecting the refrigerant, the old indoor unit / outdoor unit is removed at Step 11 and replaced with a new indoor unit or outdoor unit. Then, like the traditional air conditioner do a up to vacuum after Step9 of Step5.

However, even if the compressor has not failed, if the liquid side blocking valve 23 and the gas side blocking valve 24 are closed and the refrigerant recovery operation can be performed to shorten the time , NO is set at Step 2.
