Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a liquid compression trouble of a compressor from occurring by a method wherein when the outside temperature is below a certain temperature and the time period of power supply to a crank case heater is less than a specified time period, the output frequency and output voltage of an inverter is kept below specified values, and when the output time period reaches the specified one, the output frequency and output voltage are raised higher than specified values. CONSTITUTION:When a power source switch 21 is on, a crank case heater driving circuit 18 supplies power to a crank case heater 19. Next, when an operating switch 20 is on, power supply to the crank case heater 19 is stopped. Simultaneously, when the elaped time period counted by a timer 16 is within a specified time period since the power source is on and the outside temperature detected by the outside temperature detector 17 is lower than the specified temperature t2 deg.C, an operating frequency decision device 15 supplies a frequency h1Hz higher than a specified value and a voltage v1V lower than a specified value, which are set to such an extent that the compressor is not started, to the compressor 1 for a specified time period t3 minutes through an inverter driving circuit 9 and inverter 8, so that the winding of the compressor motor is heated and the liquid refrigerant is expelled from the compressor 1 to solve such a state that the liquid refrigerant remains in the compressor. After that, a frequency h2Hz and a voltage v2V required for starting the compressor is supplied to the compressor 1 to start operation.

A refrigerant circuit consisting of a compressor, a switching valve, an outdoor heat exchanger, a pressure reducer, an indoor heat exchanger, etc., an inverter device that changes the voltage and frequency supplied to the compressor motor, and is attached to the compressor. a crankcase heater that heats the compressor; an operation switch that energizes the compressor motor via the inverter device when turned on and energizes the crankcase heater when turned off; detects outside air temperature; An outside temperature sensor outputs a temperature detection signal according to the outside temperature, measures the time during which the crankcase heater is energized, outputs a first time detection signal according to the energization time, and outputs a first time detection signal after the operation switch is turned on. a timer that measures the time during which the compressor motor is energized and outputs a second time detection signal according to the energization time; and when the operation switch is turned on, the outside air temperature is below a certain temperature, and When the energization time to the case heater is less than a predetermined time, the output frequency and output voltage of the inverter device are set to predetermined values, respectively, based on the temperature detection signal from the outside temperature sensor and the first time detection signal from the time measurement means. and when the time during which the frequency and voltage below the predetermined value are output reaches a predetermined time, the output frequency and output voltage are set to be above the predetermined value based on the second time detection signal from the clocking means. An air conditioner characterized in that the air conditioner is equipped with an operating frequency determining means for starting the compressor.
