ΔW(t)=W(t)-W(t-1)・・・式(1.1)
ΔWtotal=ΣΔW(t)・・・式(1.2)
ΔWtotal≧α・・・式(1.3)
本実施の形態2においては、実施の形態1とは異なり、着霜量Mfに基づいて除霜運転の実行タイミングを決定し、着霜量Mfに基づいて除霜運転における圧縮機1の周波数を決定するものである。なお、本実施の形態2において、特に記述しない項目については実施の形態1と同様とし、同一の機能や構成については同一の符号を用いて述べることとする。
mf(t)=A0×ρf(t)×Hf(t)・・・式(2.1)
Mf=Σm(t)・・・式(2.2)
Qf=Mf×ΔH・・・式(2.3)
Tf=Qf/P・・・式(2.4)
