  • the controller 9 controls the expansion valve 3 to change from the current opening to the indoor heat exchanger 21.
  • Sn the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing from the outdoor unit 1 to the indoor unit 2 can be reduced, so that the inflow amount of refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 21 is smaller than the outflow amount of the refrigerant, thereby making the indoor heat exchanger
  • the total amount of refrigerant within 21 hours is continuously reduced, realizing refrigerant recovery.
  • the controller 9 controls the opening of the expansion valve 3 to remain unchanged.
  • the controller 9 controls the expansion valve 3 to change from the current opening to the indoor heat exchanger 21.
  • Sn is adjusted to the target opening S0, In this way, the opening of the expansion valve 3 can be increased to speed up the recovery speed of the refrigerant.
  • Increasing the opening of the expansion valve 3 can reduce the amount of liquid refrigeration in the air conditioner 1000.
  • the proportion of the agent can reduce the risk of liquid shock in the compressor 11.
  • the controller 9 controls the opening of the expansion valve 3 to adjust according to the adjustment rate V, so that the outdoor heat exchanger can be gradually reduced within the valve adjustment time Tx. 12
  • the flow rate of the refrigerant delivered to the indoor heat exchanger 21 avoids the impact on the air conditioning system caused by the sudden closing of the expansion valve 3, thereby shortening the service life of the air conditioner 1000.
  • the controller 9 is also configured to control the expansion valve 3 to adjust from the target opening S0 to closed, that is, to control the opening of the expansion valve 3 to zero to cut off the refrigeration in the indoor heat exchanger 21 Therefore, the refrigerant flowing out from the third communication port 121 is blocked by the closed expansion valve 3 and cannot flow into the indoor heat exchanger 21, thereby preventing the recovered refrigerant from entering the indoor heat exchanger 21 again and leaking again.
  • controller 9 controls the first solenoid valve 51 to close before the air conditioner 1000 runs the third recovery mode, and controls the expansion valve 3 to close after the third recovery mode is completed. That is, the flow path through which the outdoor heat exchanger 12 delivers refrigerant to the indoor heat exchanger 21 is closed by the expansion valve 3 and the first solenoid valve 51 together. In this way, the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 12 cannot flow to the indoor heat exchanger 21 , which is helpful to avoid the situation that the refrigerant cannot be intercepted due to damage to either the expansion valve 3 or the first solenoid valve 51 .

Abstract

Un climatiseur est divulgué. Le climatiseur comprend un échangeur de chaleur intérieur, un échangeur de chaleur extérieur, un compresseur, un capteur de concentration et un dispositif de commande, le compresseur étant conçu pour comprimer un fluide frigorigène gazeux. Le capteur de concentration est disposé à l'intérieur et est conçu pour détecter la valeur de concentration de courant d'un fluide frigorigène dans un environnement intérieur ; et le dispositif de commande est conçu pour : commander le climatiseur, lorsque la valeur de concentration actuelle du fluide frigorigène, qui est détectée au moyen du capteur de concentration, est supérieure ou égale à une première valeur de concentration de fuite prédéfinie et que l'échangeur de chaleur intérieur fonctionne en tant qu'évaporateur, pour qu'il fonctionne dans un premier mode de recyclage et pour commander le climatiseur, lorsque la valeur de concentration actuelle du fluide frigorigène, qui est détectée au moyen du capteur de concentration, est supérieure ou égale à la première valeur de concentration de fuite prédéfinie et que l'échangeur de chaleur intérieur fonctionne en tant que condenseur, pour qu'il fonctionne dans un second mode de recyclage.
