また、外気温度が低い場合には、アキュムレータ内の液が蒸発したかどうかの判断が困難であり、アキュムレータに液冷媒が溜まったまま冷媒量を判定する結果、冷媒が過充填になる可能性もあるという課題があった。 However, conventionally, when it is determined that the refrigerant filled in the refrigerant circuit is insufficient and the refrigerant is charged, the liquid refrigerant once enters the accumulator. When liquid refrigerant enters the accumulator, heat is radiated from the accumulator, so that the refrigerant hardly evaporates even when hot gas is blown into the accumulator, and there is a problem that it takes time until the liquid in the accumulator evaporates.

There was a problem that there was.
