Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air conditioner that performs a defrost operation during heating.
- heat pump type air conditioners that use air as a heat source have been introduced in place of boiler-type heaters that heat fossil fuels even in cold regions.
- the heat pump type air conditioner can efficiently perform heating as much as heat is supplied from the air in addition to the electric input to the compressor.
- frost is formed on the outdoor heat exchanger serving as an evaporator. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a defrost operation for melting the frost on the outdoor heat exchanger.
- the outdoor heat exchanger is divided into a plurality of parallel heat exchangers, and a part of the high-temperature refrigerant discharged from the compressor is decompressed, and then alternately switched to each parallel heat exchanger. And the parallel heat exchangers are alternately defrosted to continuously heat the refrigeration cycle without reversing it.
- the refrigerant supplied to the parallel heat exchanger to be defrosted is injected from the injection port of the compressor.

It is the result of calculating the subcool SC of the exit of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted.
- the heating capacity is increased when the refrigerant saturated liquid temperature is higher than 0 ° C. and lower than 10 ° C., and the heating capacity is decreased in other cases. You can see that This cause is shown below.
- the temperature of the refrigerant needs to be higher than 0 ° C. Therefore, as can be seen from FIG. 13, when the saturated liquid temperature is set to 0 ° C. or less and the frost is melted, the point (g) The position becomes higher than the saturated gas enthalpy, the refrigerant latent heat of condensation cannot be used, and the enthalpy difference between the front and rear outdoor heat exchangers 5 to be defrosted becomes small.
- the flow rate required to flow into the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted is required to be about 3 to 4 times (Fig. 14). Accordingly, the refrigerant flow rate that can be supplied to the indoor units B and C that perform heating is reduced, and the heating capacity is reduced.
- the accumulator becomes empty when the saturation temperature is about 10 ° C.
- the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle becomes insufficient, the suction density of the compressor decreases, and the heating capacity decreases.
- the temperature of the refrigerant is uneven in the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted, and frost is not easily melted uniformly.
- the pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted is preferably throttled by the expansion device 10 and higher than 0 ° C. and 10 ° C. or lower in terms of saturation temperature.
- the pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted is the same as the discharge pressure of the compressor, and the pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted is increased. It is better to put it on.
- the subcool SC at the outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted is 0K. Is the optimum target value. Taking into account the accuracy of the thermometer and pressure gauge for detecting the subcool, the pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted is higher than 0 ° C in terms of saturation temperature so that the subcool SC is about 0K to 5K. And it is desirable to make it 6 degrees C or less.
- the average refrigerant density of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted is 600 kg / m 3 or more. Need to be raised. Therefore, in order to quickly supply the refrigerant to the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted, the electromagnetic valve 16 is opened to expel the liquid refrigerant from the bottom of the accumulator 6 where excess refrigerant is accumulated through the first bypass pipe 16a. . By returning the liquid refrigerant to the compressor 1 to increase the suction density and increasing the refrigerant circulation amount, the speed at which the refrigerant is moved to the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted can be increased.
- the average refrigerant density of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to be defrosted can be calculated using the average density calculation formula.
- the condition of 600 kg / m 3 corresponds to about 0 to 0.2 in terms of dryness. Even if the refrigerant to be used is changed, the frost temperature does not change at 0 ° C. Therefore, the outdoor temperature of the defrost target is adjusted so that the dryness at the pressure at which the saturated liquid temperature becomes 0 ° C is 0 to 0.2. What is necessary is just to make it accumulate in the heat exchanger 5.

- the amount of heat given to the frost can be made constant regardless of the outside air temperature, and the time taken for defrosting can be made constant.
- control apparatus 30 may change the threshold value of the saturation temperature used when determining the presence or absence of frost formation, the time of normal operation, etc. according to outside temperature. That is, as the outside air temperature decreases, the operation time of the normal heating operation is shortened, and the frost formation amount at the start of the heating defrost operation is made constant. Thereby, the amount of heat given to the frost from the refrigerant becomes constant during the heating defrost operation.

しかしこの反面、外気温度が低温になると、蒸発器となる室外熱交換器に着霜するため、室外熱交換器についた霜を融かすデフロスト運転を行う必要がある。
そこで、デフロスト運転中にも暖房運転を行うことができる手法の一つとして、室外熱交換器を分割し、一部の室外熱交換器がデフロスト運転している間も他方の室外熱交換器を蒸発器として動作させ、蒸発器において空気から熱を吸熱し、暖房を行う方法が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1、特許文献2、特許文献3参照)。
このとき、デフロスト対象の熱交換器部では、内部の冷媒の圧力が圧縮機の吸入圧力と同等となる状態でデフロスト運転が行われる(低圧デフロスト)。
このとき、デフロスト対象の熱源機側熱交換器では、内部の冷媒の圧力が圧縮機の吐出圧力と同等となる状態でデフロストが行われる(高圧デフロスト)。
このとき、デフロスト対象の並列熱交換器では、内部の冷媒の圧力が、圧縮機の吐出圧力より低く吸入圧力より高い圧力(飽和温度換算で0℃よりやや高い温度となる圧力)となる状態でデフロスト運転が行われる(中圧デフロスト)。
そのため、デフロスト対象の熱交換器部においても冷媒の飽和温度が外気と比較して低くなる。つまり、飽和温度が0℃以下となる場合があり、霜(0℃)を融かそうとしても冷媒の凝縮潜熱を利用することができず、デフロストの効率が悪かった。
なお、各図において、同一の符号を付したものは、同一の又はこれに相当するものであり、これは明細書の全文において共通している。
更に、明細書全文に表れている構成要素の形態は、あくまで例示であってこれらの記載に限定されるものではない。
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置100の冷媒回路構成を示す冷媒回路図である。
空気調和装置100は、室外機Aと、互いに並列に接続された複数の室内機B、Cとを備えており、室外機Aと室内機B、Cとは、第1の延長配管11-1、11-2b、11-2c、第2の延長配管12-1、12-2b、12-2cで接続されている。
空気調和装置100には更に、制御装置30が設けられ、室内機B、Cの冷房運転、暖房運転(暖房通常運転、暖房デフロスト運転)を制御する。
空気調和装置100の冷媒回路は、圧縮機1と、冷房と暖房とを切り替える流路切替装置2と、室内熱交換器3-b、3-cと、開閉自在な第1の流量制御装置4-b、4-cと、室外熱交換器5とを順次、配管で接続した主回路を有している。
主回路には更に、圧縮機の吸入配管1b、1cの間にアキュムレータ6を備えている。
流路切替装置2は、圧縮機1の吐出配管1a及び吸入配管1bの間に接続され、冷媒の流れ方向を切り替える例えば四方弁で構成される。
暖房運転では流路切替装置2の接続が図1中の実線の向きに接続され、冷房運転では流路切替装置2の接続が図1中の点線の向きに接続される。
図2に示すように、室外熱交換器5は、例えば複数の伝熱管5aと複数のフィン5bとを有するフィンチューブ型の熱交換器で構成される。室外熱交換器5は、複数の並列熱交換器に分割されている。ここでは、室外熱交換器5が2つの並列熱交換器5-1、5-2に分割されている場合を例に説明する。
フィン5bは、空気通過方向に空気が通過するように間隔を空けて配置されている。
並列熱交換器5-1、5-2は、室外機Aの筐体内において室外熱交換器5を分割して構成されている。その分割は、左右に分割されていてもよいが、左右に分割すると、並列熱交換器5-1、5-2のそれぞれへの冷媒入口が室外機Aの左右両端になるため、配管接続が複雑になる。このため、図2に示すように上下方向に分割することが望ましい。
また、並列熱交換器5-1、5-2には、室外ファン5fによって室外空気が搬送される。
室外ファン5fは、並列熱交換器5-1、5-2のそれぞれに設置されてもよいが、図1のように1台のファンを共用してもよい。
第1の接続配管13-1、13-2は、主配管に並列に接続されており、各々には第2の流量制御装置7-1、7-2が設けられている。
第2の流量制御装置7-1、7-2は、制御装置30からの指令によって開度を可変することができる弁である。第2の流量制御装置7-1、7-2は、例えば、電子制御式膨張弁で構成される。
なお、本実施の形態1における第2の流量制御装置7-1、7-2は、本発明の「第4の絞り装置」に相当する。
また、冷媒回路には更に、圧縮機1から吐出した高温高圧の冷媒の一部をデフロスト運転のために並列熱交換器5-1、5-2に供給する第1のデフロスト配管15が設けられている。
第1のデフロスト配管15は、一端が吐出配管1aに接続され、他端が分岐されて各々が第2の接続配管14-1、14-2に接続されている。
第1のデフロスト配管15には、絞り装置10が設けられており、圧縮機1から吐出した高温高圧の冷媒の一部を絞り装置10で中圧に減圧してから並列熱交換器5-1、5-2に供給する。第1のデフロスト配管15において分岐した各々には第2の電磁弁9-1、9-2が設けられている。
吸入配管1bから流入した冷媒に液が含まれていた場合、アキュムレータ6で冷媒液を分離して吸入配管1cのU字管の先端から冷媒ガス成分のみが流出するようになっている。また、U字管の底にはアキュムレータ内部と吸入配管1cをつなぐ穴が開いているが、これは冷媒回路内を循環する油を圧縮機に戻すための油戻し穴である。
また、電磁弁16を小型化して、電磁弁を流れる冷媒に圧力損失をつけるようにし、絞り装置17をなくしてもよい。
なお、絞り装置10は、本発明の「第3の絞り装置」に、電磁弁16や絞り装置17が「第1の絞り装置」に相当する。
空気調和装置100の運転動作には、冷房運転と暖房運転との2種類の運転モードがある。更に暖房運転には、室外熱交換器5を構成する並列熱交換器5-1、5-2の両方が通常の蒸発器として動作する暖房通常運転と暖房デフロスト運転(連続暖房運転とも称する)とがある。
なお、表中の流路切替装置2のONは、図1の四方弁の実線の向きに接続した場合を示し、OFFは点線の向きに接続した場合を示す。電磁弁8-1、8-2、9-1、9-2、16のONは、電磁弁が開いて冷媒が流れている場合を示し、OFFは電磁弁が閉じている場合を示す。
図6は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置100の冷房運転時の冷媒の流れを示す図である。なお、図6において冷房運転時に冷媒が流れる部分を太線とし、冷媒が流れない部分を細線としている。
図7は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置100の冷房運転時のP-h線図である。なお、図7の点(a)~点(d)は図6の同じ記号を付した部分での冷媒の状態を示す。
この圧縮機1の冷媒圧縮過程は、圧縮機1の断熱効率の分だけ、等エントロピ線で断熱圧縮される場合と比較して加熱されるように圧縮され、図7の点(a)から点(b)に示す線で表される。
圧縮機1から吐出された高温高圧のガス冷媒は流路切替装置2を通過して2つに分岐し、一方は電磁弁8-1を通過して第2の接続配管14-1から並列熱交換器5-1に流入する。他方は電磁弁8-2を通過して第2の接続配管14-2から並列熱交換器5-2に流入する。
なお、室内機B、Cの運転容量が小さい場合などは、第1の電磁弁8-2を閉止して並列熱交換器5-2に冷媒が流れないようにし、結果的に室外熱交換器5の伝熱面積を小さくすることで、安定したサイクルの運転を行うことができる。
図8は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置100の暖房通常運転時の冷媒の流れを示す図である。なお、図8において暖房通常運転時に冷媒が流れる部分を太線とし、冷媒が流れない部分を細線としている。
図9は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置100の暖房通常運転時のP-h線図である。なお、図9の点(a)~点(e)は図8の同じ記号を付した部分での冷媒の状態を示す。
圧縮機1から吐出された高温高圧のガス冷媒は、流路切替装置2を通過した後、室外機Aから流出する。室外機Aを流出した高温高圧のガス冷媒は、第1の延長配管11-1、11-2b、11-2cを介して室内機B、Cの室内熱交換器3-b、3-cに流入する。
室内熱交換器3-b、3-cから流出した中温高圧の液冷媒は、第1の流量制御装置4-b、4-cに流入し、ここで絞られて膨張、減圧し、中圧の気液二相状態になる。
このときの冷媒変化は図9の点(c)から点(d)に示す垂直線で表される。
なお、第1の流量制御装置4-b、4-cは、中温高圧の液冷媒のサブクール(過冷却度)が5K~20K程度になるように制御される。
第1の接続配管13-1、13-2に流入した冷媒は、第2の流量制御装置7-1、7-2によって絞られて膨張、減圧し、低圧の気液二相状態になる。このときの冷媒の変化は図9の点(d)から点(e)となる。
なお、第2の流量制御装置7-1、7-2は、一定開度、例えば全開の状態で固定されるか、第2の延長配管12-1などの中間圧の飽和温度が0℃~20℃程度になるように制御される。
並列熱交換器5-1、5-2を流出した低温低圧のガス冷媒は、第2の接続配管14-1、14-2に流入し、第1の電磁弁8-1、8-2を通った後合流し、流路切替装置2、アキュムレータ6を通過して圧縮機1に流入し、圧縮される。
なお、暖房運転では冷媒の密度が高い配管は、室内熱交換器3-b、3-cの出口配管程度であり、余剰冷媒が発生し、図8のようにアキュムレータ6に液冷媒が溜まっている。
暖房デフロスト運転は、暖房通常運転中に、室外熱交換器5に着霜した場合に行われる。
着霜の有無の判定は、例えば圧縮機1の吸入圧力から換算される飽和温度が、予め設定した外気温度と比較して大幅に低下した場合に着霜を判定する。また例えば、外気温度と蒸発温度との温度差が予め設定した値以上となり、経過時間が一定時間以上になった場合に着霜を判定する、などの方法によって行われる。
図11は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置100の暖房デフロスト運転時のP-h線図である。なお、図11の点(a)~点(h)は、図10の同じ記号を付した部分での冷媒の状態を示す。
これによって、圧縮機1→絞り装置10→第2の電磁弁9-2→並列熱交換器5-2→第2の流量制御装置7-2→第2の流量制御装置7-1を、順次接続した中圧デフロスト回路が開かれ、暖房デフロスト運転が開始される。
そして、中圧(点(f))まで減圧された冷媒は、第2の電磁弁9-2を通り、並列熱交換器5-2に流入する。並列熱交換器5-2に流入した冷媒は、並列熱交換器5-2に付着した霜と熱交換することによって冷却される。
なお、デフロストを行う冷媒は、後ほど説明するように霜の温度(0℃)以上の0℃~10℃程度の飽和温度になっている。
図12は、冷媒としてR410A冷媒を用いた空気調和装置において、デフロスト能力を固定してデフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5の圧力(図中では飽和液温度に換算済)を変化させた場合の、暖房能力を計算した結果である。
図13は、冷媒としてR410A冷媒を用いた空気調和装置において、デフロスト能力を固定してデフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5の圧力(図中では飽和液温度に換算済)を変化させた場合の、デフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5の前後エンタルピ差を計算した結果である。
このとき、0℃から10℃の最適な場合と同じくデフロストの能力を発揮しようとすると、デフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5に流入させるのに必要な流量は3~4倍程度必要(図14)になり、その分だけ暖房を行う室内機B、Cに供給できる冷媒流量が減少して暖房能力が低下する。
そこで、デフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5に素早く冷媒を供給するため、電磁弁16を開いて余剰冷媒が溜まっているアキュムレータ6の底部から第1のバイパス配管16aを通して液になっている冷媒を追い出す。圧縮機1に液冷媒を戻して吸入密度を上昇させ、冷媒循環量を増やすことで、デフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5に冷媒を移動させる速度を上昇させることができる。
なお、圧縮機の信頼性を上げるには、なるべく液バックさせない方がよい。外気温度が高かったりして圧縮機の吸入圧力が高い場合は、冷媒回路内の冷媒循環量は多いので、外気温度が低かったりして吸入圧力が低下する場合のみ電磁弁16を開くようにしても良い。
なお、外気温度が0℃以上の場合は、霜は外気との熱交換により融けるので、外気温度の閾値としては、0℃程度にすればよい。また、圧力の閾値としてはR410Aの場合、0.3MPa程度にすればよい。また、電磁弁16をあけると圧縮機への液バック量が多すぎて、圧縮機の吐出温度や吐出スーパーヒート、圧縮機のシェル温度が所定値より下がった場合は、電磁弁16を閉じる制御を入れることで圧縮機の信頼性の低下を抑えることができる。
暖房デフロスト運転中、制御装置30は、第2の流量制御装置7-2の開度を、デフロスト対象の並列熱交換器5-2の圧力が飽和温度換算で0℃~10℃程度になるように制御する。第2の流量制御装置7-1の開度は、第2の流量制御装置7-2の前後の差圧をつけて制御性を向上させるため、全開状態にする。また、暖房デフロスト運転中、圧縮機1の吐出圧力とデフロスト対象の並列熱交換器5-2の圧力との差は大きく変化しないため、絞り装置10の開度は、事前に設計した必要なデフロスト流量に合わせて、開度を固定したままにする。
つまり、外気温度が低下するにつれて、通常暖房運転の運転時間を短くして、暖房デフロスト運転開始時の着霜量を一定にする。これにより、暖房デフロスト運転中に、冷媒から霜に与える熱量が一定になる。
よって、絞り装置10によってデフロスト流量を制御する必要が無くなり、絞り装置10として、流路抵抗を一定にした安価な毛細管を用いることができる。
また、本実施の形態1のように、並列熱交換器5-1、5-2を一体型で構成し、デフロスト対象の並列熱交換器に室外ファン5fによって室外空気を搬送する場合、暖房デフロスト運転時に放熱量を減らすために、外気温度が下がるにつれてファン出力を落とすように変更してもよい。
図17は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置100の制御フローである。
運転が開始される(S1)と、室内機B、Cの運転モードで冷房運転か暖房運転かの判断を行い(S2)、通常の冷房運転(S3)又は暖房運転(S4)の制御が行われる。暖房運転時には、着霜による伝熱、風量の低下による室外熱交換器5の伝熱性能の低下を考慮にいれて例えば式(1)に示すようなデフロスト開始条件を満たすか否か(つまり、着霜有無)の判定を行う(S5)。
(吸入圧力の飽和温度)<(外気温度)-x1 ・・・(1)
x1は10K~20K程度に設定すればよい。
(a)第1の電磁弁8-2 OFF
(b)第2の電磁弁9-2 ON
(c)電磁弁16 ON
(d)絞り装置10 開く
(e)第2の流量制御装置7-1 全開にする
(f)第2の流量制御装置7-2 制御開始
(インジェクション配管(例えば第1の接続配管13-2)の冷媒温度)>x2 ・・・(2)
x2は5~10℃に設定すればよい。
式(2)を満たした場合、並列熱交換器5-2のデフロストを行う暖房デフロスト運転が終了される(S9)。
(a)第2の電磁弁9-2 OFF
(b)第1の電磁弁8-2 ON
(c)第2の流量制御装置7-1,7-2 通常の中間圧制御
以上説明したように、本実施の形態1によれば、暖房デフロスト運転によって、デフロストを行いつつ、連続して室内の暖房を行うことができる効果に加え、以下の効果がある。
また、吐出配管1aから分岐した高温高圧のガス冷媒の一部を、飽和温度換算で霜の温度と比較して高い0℃~10℃程度の圧力まで減圧し、デフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5に流入させることで、冷媒の凝縮潜熱を利用することができる。
また、アキュムレータ6の底から液冷媒を直接取り出し、圧縮機1による冷媒の循環流量を増やすことで、デフロスト対象の並列熱交換器5-2に必要な冷媒を素早く供給することができる。
また、デフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5の伝熱管内の冷媒は気液二相の領域が大きくなり、霜との温度差が一定な領域が増え、熱交換器全体のデフロスト量を均一化できる。
また、デフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5から流出した冷媒を、蒸発器として機能している室外熱交換器5に流入させることで、冷凍サイクルの蒸発能力を維持して吸入圧力の低下を抑えることができる。
また、吸入圧力、圧縮機の吐出温度、シェル温度等をセンシングして電磁弁16の開閉の条件を決めることで、圧縮機1への余計な液バックを防ぐことができる。
また、絞り装置10の流量制御を行うと、デフロスト能力を可変にすることができる。
また、低外気温では絞り装置10の流量を増やすことで、デフロストにかかる時間を一定にすることができる。
図18は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る空気調和装置101の冷媒回路構成を示す冷媒回路図である。
以下、空気調和装置101が実施の形態1と異なる部分を中心に説明する。
なお、本実施の形態2における電磁弁18と絞り装置19は、本発明の「第2の絞り装置」に相当する。
この制御フローは、空気調和装置101のデフロスト制御中の電磁弁16および電磁弁18の制御を示すものである。
デフロスト制御が開始される(S7またはS11)と、吸入圧力が所定値(例えば0.3MPa)以下かの判定により、アキュムレータ6から液冷媒を追い出す必要があるかの判断を行う(S14)。この判定は前述のとおり、外気温度が0℃以下かなど、他の指標をもって行っても良い。また、S14において、吸入圧力が所定値よりも低いなどして液冷媒を追い出す必要があると判定した場合、電磁弁16および電磁弁18を開く操作を行う(S15~S20)。
図21は、本発明の実施の形態3に係る空気調和装置102の冷媒回路構成を示す冷媒回路図である。
以下、空気調和装置102が実施の形態2と異なる部分を中心に説明する。
また、上記実施の形態1の空気調和装置100の構成に加え、主回路(第2の接続配管12-1と第2の流量制御装置7-1、7-2との間)の配管と、第2の接続配管14-1、14-2とを接続する第2のデフロスト配管22が設けられている。
なお、本実施の形態3における第3の流量制御装置21は、本発明の「第4の絞り装置」に相当する。
暖房デフロスト運転中、制御装置30は、第3の流量制御装置21の開度を、デフロスト対象の並列熱交換器5-2の圧力(中圧)が、飽和温度換算で0℃~10℃程度になるように制御する。
デフロスト運転の開始判断は図17と同様に、運転が開始される(S1)と室内機B、Cの運転モードで冷房運転か暖房運転かの判断を行い(S2)、通常の冷房運転(S3)又は暖房運転(S4)の制御が行われ、暖房運転時には、着霜による伝熱、風量の低下による室外熱交換器5の伝熱性能の低下を考慮にいれて例えば式(1)に示すようなデフロスト開始条件を満たすか否か(つまり、着霜有無)の判定を行う(S5)。
図21に示すように、第1の接続配管13-1、13-2は、並列熱交換器5-1、5-2における空気の流れ方向の上流側の伝熱管5aに接続されている。並列熱交換器5-1、5-2の伝熱管5aは、空気の流れ方向に複数列設けられており、下流側の列へ順次流れる。
図22は、本発明の実施の形態4に係る空気調和装置103の冷媒回路構成を示す冷媒回路図である。
実施の形態4では、実施の形態1または実施の形態2において、中圧デフロストを開始するまでの冷媒移動制御運転における電磁弁16、電磁弁18の動作方法の詳細を述べる。
具体的には、電磁弁16を開き、アキュムレータ6の底に溜まっている冷媒液を第1のバイパス配管16a、第1のバイパス配管16aにある電磁弁16、絞り装置17、圧縮機の吸入配管1c、圧縮機1、圧縮機1の吐出配管1a、第1のデフロスト配管15、第1のデフロスト配管15にある絞り装置10を通して冷媒をデフロスト対象の室外熱交換器5に移す。
暖房デフロスト制御を開始(S7)すると、冷媒移動制御運転を開始(S27)し、電磁弁16と、電磁弁18を開ける(S28)。なお、実施の形態1に係る冷媒回路では、電磁弁16のみ開く。S28の制御は、冷媒移動制御運転の終了条件(S29)になるまで続けられる。この終了条件としては、例えば、圧力センサ32の検出値が、飽和温度換算で0~10℃の間で設定される目標値となった時とする。また、センサの測定誤差なども考慮に入れて、冷媒移動制御運転の最短運転条件として、最低時間(例えば2分)を設定することや、最長運転条件として、最大時間(例えば6分)などを設定し、終了条件に組み込んでも良い。
