A conventional operation control device for a multi-room air conditioner will be described below. Conventionally, this type of multi-room air conditioner has been constructed such that one outdoor unit equipped with a variable capacity compressor (hereinafter simply referred to as a compressor) is provided to a plurality of indoor units via a branch unit or directly. An electric expansion valve is provided as a throttle device for the refrigeration cycle of the unit, and the above electric expansion is performed so that the superheat value of the refrigerant sucked into the compressor detected by using a temperature sensor, etc. becomes a constant value. The refrigeration cycle was adjusted by controlling the valve opening (hereinafter referred to as superheat control).

In such a conventional multi-room air conditioner, when the outdoor temperature is high and the operating frequency of the compressor is high in the cooling operation, that is, when it is operated under an overload condition. Also, since the electric expansion valve opening is controlled so that the degree of superheat of the compressor becomes constant, the pressure rises and the temperature of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor also rises. It was a factor that shortened the life.

Also, in the heating operation, when the outdoor temperature is low and the operating frequency of the compressor is high, that is, when the outdoor heat exchanger is operated under a condition where frost is likely to occur,
Since the electric expansion valve opening is controlled so that the superheat of the compressor becomes constant, the electric expansion valve opening becomes smaller as the superheat of cooling starts to decrease due to frost, which further increases frost. However, there is a problem that the heating capacity drops sharply.

Further, since the degree of superheat cannot be detected at the start of operation, the first electric expansion valve opening before entering the superheat control is set to the maximum opening of the electric expansion valve or a predetermined opening. Therefore, there is a problem that it may take a considerable time until the refrigerant superheat reaches a target value and the refrigeration cycle stabilizes under various operating conditions such as indoor load and outdoor temperature. .

The operation of the above structure will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 2, the solid line is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 4 and the degree of superheat during cooling in the present embodiment over time. First, the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 4 at the start of operation starts from the maximum, and the opening degree control means 1
4, the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 4 is narrowed by several pulses so that the target degree of superheat degree (here, set to 7 deg) is reached. Stable while making fine adjustments to a constant value of 7deg,
The optimum refrigeration cycle is reached after Δt time. At the time point indicated by point A in the figure, the outdoor temperature is high, for example, 39
When the operating frequency of the compressor 1 at that time is high at ℃ or higher, for example, the operable frequency of the compressor is 30 to 90 Hz.
If it is a condition of 80 Hz or more, the above superheat control is stopped, and the opening correction means 15 causes the opening of the electric expansion valve 4 to be close to the maximum value and a predetermined opening at which liquid back does not occur. Open and set up, and in that state the opening control means 1
When operated without the control of No. 4, as shown in the figure, the degree of superheat rapidly decreases corresponding to the widened opening, and it is possible to suppress excessive rise of high pressure.

The solid line in FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 4 and the low pressure during heating according to the present embodiment with a change over time. In normal operation, the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 4 is controlled by the opening degree control means 14 so that the degree of superheat becomes a predetermined set value, and is stabilized. Now, at the point B in the figure, when the outdoor temperature is low, for example, at 4 ° C. or lower and the operating frequency of the compressor 1 at that time is high, for example, assuming that the operable frequency of the compressor is 30 to 90 Hz, it becomes 80 Hz or more. If it is a condition, the degree of superheat control by the opening degree control means 14 is temporarily stopped, and the opening degree correction means 15 does not cause a liquid back at a predetermined opening degree, that is, the expansion valve opening degree, and significantly lowers the heating capacity. Set an opening that does not reach and operate in that state.
