- the fact that the control value change trend in the environmental condition cell that was previously referenced is a sharp downward trend means that the cooling capacity is rapidly deficient.
- the current control value is continuously used even after the environmental condition cell to be referenced is switched, thereby avoiding the occurrence of insufficient cooling capacity.
- control value when the control value is corrected as described above is registered and updated in the environmental condition cell that matches the changed environmental condition depends on the situation of the store where the system is used, etc. It is assumed that the setting is switched as appropriate, such as whether to update in accordance with the above, or to mask for a certain period after switching.
- the environmental conditions shown in the embodiments are not limited thereto.
- the low-pressure side pressure set value of the refrigerator is adjusted as the control value, but this is not limited, and any control factor related to the cooling capacity and power consumption of the cooling system can be used.
- the low-pressure side pressure set value is adjusted at a cycle of 10 minutes, but not limited thereto, it can be appropriately selected according to the use situation such as 1 minute, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour 30 minutes, 2 hour cycle. is there.

Abstract
Description
店内温度Ti(℃):0℃~+35℃の範囲を5deg刻みで8段階に分類(実際には1時間当たりの平均値を採用)。
店外温度To(℃):-5℃~+40℃の範囲を5deg刻みで10段階に分類(実際には1時間当たりの平均値を採用)。
時刻帯t:1時間単位で24段階に分類。
とされ、全部で1920箇所の環境条件セル(図4で破線で示す)が構成される。
「ほぼ横ばい(、或いは、変更無し)」、
「緩やかに上昇(低温ショーケース1aを冷やさない方向に緩やか)」、
「緩やかに下降(低温ショーケース1aをより冷やす方向に緩やか)」、
「急激に上昇(低温ショーケース1aを冷やさない方向に急激)」、及び、
「急激に下降(低温ショーケース1aをより冷やす方向に急激)」、
の5つの判定基準を保有している。
「+5~+6」であった場合は変更傾向を上記「急激に上昇」、
「+2~+4」であった場合は変更傾向を上記「緩やかに上昇」、
「-1~+1」であった場合は変更傾向を上記「ほぼ横ばい(或いは、変更無し)」、
「-4~-2」であった場合は変更傾向を上記「緩やかに下降」、及び、
「-6~-5」であった場合は変更傾向を上記「急激に下降」、
と判定する。
A:以前参照していた環境条件セルの制御値(変更を加えていった最後の値)を環境条件の変化後もそのまま使用する。
B:環境条件の変化後は、新たに参照する環境条件セルに登録されている制御値を使用する。
C:環境条件の変化後はそれまでに参照していた環境条件セルの制御値(変更を加えていった最後の値)と新たに参照する環境条件セルの制御値の平均値、又は、加重平均値を使用する。
