Moreover, when outside air is not taken in, for example, it is used for an assist operation that increases the indoor unit capacity at the time of heating overload small capacity and cooling low temperature small capacity operation, and the stability of the operation is ensured.
- the flow path switching valves 22b and 23b are switched to perform cooling.

- the cold water warmed by the heat absorption from the air of the computer room in the utilization side heat exchanger 26a is cooled by heat exchange with the outside air in the utilization side heat exchanger 26b of the indoor unit 2b, and again the utilization side heat exchanger 26a.
- the use side heat exchanger 26b of the indoor unit 2b takes in the outside air heated (heated) by heat exchange in the water flow of the cooling operation.
- the indoor unit 2 that prioritizes the operation during the emergency operation such as the indoor unit 2a for the computer room that constantly cools, is determined in advance. For example, when it is determined that the compressor 10 has stopped and the intermediate heat exchanger 15a is no longer able to cool the cold water, the emergency operation is started, and the cold water that has been cooled in the intermediate heat exchanger 15a until then is supplied to the indoor unit. Since the air is preferentially supplied to 2a, the temperature of the air in the computer room can be maintained without increasing.
- the outside air intake type indoor unit 2b is switched to cooling, and heat from the air in the computer room is released to the outside air by the use side heat exchanger 26b in the use side heat exchanger 26a. Therefore, it is particularly effective when the outside air is cold as in winter.

- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a flowchart of processing related to emergency operation of the relay unit side control apparatus 300 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on FIG. 5, operation
- the relay unit side control device 300 determines whether or not to perform an emergency operation based on a signal from the outdoor unit side control device 100 (S1). If it is determined that the emergency operation is not necessary, the discharge flow rates of the warm pump 21b and the cold pump 21a are controlled (S40).
- the operation such as continuation in each indoor unit that performs heating or cooling is determined.
- a certain indoor unit 2 is an indoor unit 2a for a computer room (S2).
- the cooling is continued (S15). If it is not the indoor unit 2a for the computer room, it is next determined whether or not it is an outside air intake type indoor unit 2b (S3).
- the cooling is continued if the cooling is performed, and the cooling is performed by switching to the cooling if the heating is performed (S15).
- the temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the cold water is not particularly limited.
- the determination can be made based on the temperature related to the detection of one or more of the first temperature sensor 31b and the second temperature sensor 34a.
- the indoor unit 2 to be determined is performing cooling or heating (S5). If cooling is being performed, cooling is continued (S6). Thereby, it mixes with the cold water which returned from the other indoor unit 2, and makes the temperature of cold water uniform. However, even when the operation is performed, for example, the flow rate adjustment valve 25 is set to a predetermined opening smaller than that in the normal operation to suppress the cooling capacity so that the cooling of the computer room can be maintained as much as possible. If heating is being performed, the heating is continued (S7), and the amount of heat of the warm water is released to the air-conditioning target space so that the warm water is cooled.
- the flow rate adjusting valve 25 prevents the cold water from flowing into the use side heat exchanger 26 and Stop (thermo OFF) (S12).
- the cooling operation is continued (S13), the operation such as driving the use-side fan 27 (thermo ON) is performed (S14), and the amount of heat of the cold water is air-conditioned. Dissipate heat to the target space to cool the cold water.
- the above-described processing after S11 is performed. Thereby, in the utilization side heat exchanger 26 of the indoor unit 2 whose indoor temperature is equal to or lower than the temperature of the cold water, the cold water releases the heat absorbed from the air in the computer room. At this time, in the indoor unit 2 that has been heating, the flow path switching valves 22b and 23b are switched (to the cooling side) so that the cold water circulates (S13).
- etc. Is stopped, continuing heating like S12.
- the water pipe 5 occupies most of the path length. Therefore, by switching, the water circulated as warm water is mixed with the cold water and circulated. It becomes like this. At this time, the temperature of the cold water is lowered by mixing the cold water and the warm water.
- the indoor unit 2 when the temperature of the cold water is higher than the temperature of the warm water, the indoor unit 2 whose room temperature is lower than the temperature of the cold water is operated to release the heat absorbed from the air in the computer room.
- the flow path switching valves 22a and 23a may be switched in order to circulate warm water having a low temperature in the indoor unit 2a.
- the warm pump 21b serves as the cold pump 21a, and the warm water circulates as cold water.
- the heat supply capacity (cooling total capacity) required by the indoor unit 2 that is cooling is the amount of heat (cooling) that can be supplied by the amount of water that can be transported by the cold pump 21a. It is determined whether it is larger than (pump capacity) (S19).
- the cold pump 21a when the temperature of the cold water is higher than the temperature of the warm water, the cold pump 21a is driven to the maximum, but when the temperature of the cold water rises without releasing the heat of the cold water, the flow rate is increased. Thus, the capacity of the cold pump may be exceeded. Therefore, if it is determined that the total cooling capacity is larger than the cold pump capacity, the flow path switching valves 22 and 23 are switched, and the circulation path that is normally divided into two systems is made one system, and the warm water is also circulated by the warm pump 21b. (S20). Then, the discharge flow rates of the warm pump 21b and the cold pump 21a are controlled (S21). The above process is repeated.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing water circulation in S20.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a case where heat absorbed from the air in the computer room is dissipated in the use side heat exchangers 26b to 26d in the use side heat exchanger 26a.
- the flow path switching valve 22a is switched so that water from the warm pump 21b related to heat dissipation flows into the use-side heat exchanger 26a, and water related to heat absorption from the air in the computer room flows to the cold pump 21a.
- the flow path switching valve 23a is switched.
- the flow path switching valves 22b to 22d are switched so that water from the cold pump 21a related to heat absorption flows into the use side heat exchangers 26b to 26d, and the flow path switching is performed so that water related to heat dissipation flows to the warm pump 21b.
- the valves 23b to 23d are switched. Water is circulated so that the use side heat exchanger 26a of the computer room indoor unit and the other use side heat exchangers 26b to 26d are connected in series. Thereby, the heat absorption in the use side heat exchanger 26a and the waste heat in the use side heat exchangers 26b to 26d can be performed in the intermediate heat exchanger 15 without blending (mixing) water.
- the flow switching valve 22a switches so that the water from the cold pump 21a flows into the use side heat exchanger 26a, and the flow switching valve 23a converts the water related to the heat absorption from the air in the computer room to the warm pump 21b. You may make it the flow of water which switches so that it may flow.
- the flow path switching valves 22b to 22d are switched so that the water from the warm pump 21b flows into the use side heat exchangers 26b to 26d, and the flow path switching valve 23b so that the water related to heat radiation flows to the cold pump 21a. Switch between 23d.
- the air conditioning apparatus of the second embodiment when the temperature of the cold water is lower than the computer room set temperature, the cooling or heating is continued in the other indoor units 2 as well.
- Other indoor units 2 can also maintain the temperature of the air-conditioning target space. At this time, since the capacity of the indoor unit 2 that performs cooling other than the indoor unit 2a is suppressed, it is possible to supply cold energy to the computer room as much as possible to the indoor unit 2a for a long time.
- the flow path switching valve 22, 23 is switched so that warm water can also be circulated, so that the temperature of the air in the computer room can be maintained for a longer time.
- the operation is stopped by thermo-off when the temperature of the chilled water is higher than the room temperature. It is possible to prevent the cold water from absorbing heat from the air in the air-conditioning target space. If it is determined that the total cooling capacity is larger than the cold pump capacity, the warm water is circulated even in the warm pump 21b, and therefore, the heat necessary for maintaining the temperature of the computer room is supplied for as long as possible. Can do.
- the water circulation circuit connected by the water pipe 4 or the like can be divided into circulation paths by two systems of cold water and warm water by switching the flow path switching valves 22 and 23.
- the composition is taken. Therefore, for example, even if the heat quantity of the cold water cannot be released in the intermediate heat exchanger 15a, the use side heat exchanger 26 of the indoor unit 2 that performs heating by switching the flow path switching valves 22 and 23 is used. It is possible to perform a process such as discharging with a gas.
