摘要:
A method for selecting a heat medium of each use side heat exchanger in installing an air-conditioning system includes: a first step of determining power required for use side heat exchangers corresponding to a plurality of air-conditioned spaces; a second step of calculating a total refrigerant amount required when a refrigerant is circulated through all the use side heat exchangers having the determined power; a third step of calculating a refrigerant concentration when the total refrigerant amount leaks to each air-conditioned space using the refrigerant, for each air-conditioned space; a fourth step of determining the refrigerant concentration for each air-conditioned space exceeds a predetermined limit concentration; a fifth step of, when there are any air-conditioned spaces exceeding the limit concentration in the fourth step, selecting, as a nontoxic medium, the circulation heat medium of the use side heat exchanger installed in one of the air-conditioned spaces; and a sixth step of calculating a total refrigerant amount required when the refrigerant is circulated through all the use side heat exchangers other than the use side heat exchanger selected for the nontoxic medium, as the total refrigerant amount in the third step.

In an air-conditioning apparatus 100, a controller 50 performs a pressure variation suppressing operation for suppressing a pressure variation on the side of a refrigerant circuit A by controlling a heat medium flow control device 34b to be slightly opened so as to allow a certain amount of heat medium to flow through a use-side heat exchanger 35b before the use-side heat exchanger 35b starts operation or performs switching of an operation mode.

An air-conditioning apparatus includes: a heat-medium transfer device including a pump provided to transfer a heat medium that contains water or brine and transfers heat; a plurality of indoor units each of which includes an indoor heat exchanger provided to cause heat exchange to be performed between indoor air and the heat medium, and a flow control valve provided to adjust a flow rate of the heat medium that flows through the indoor heat exchanger, the plurality of indoor units being connected to the heat-medium transfer device by respective heat medium pipes; and a controller provided to control an opening degree of the flow control valve. The controller determines a valve opening-degree control range that is a control range of an opening degree of the flow control valve of each indoor unit, based on a flow-passage resistance depending on a length of a pipe that extends from the heat-medium transfer device to the indoor unit, such that the lower the flow-passage resistance, the smaller the valve opening-degree control range.
摘要:
An air-conditioning apparatus is provided to which, even when a heat medium leaks from a heat medium circuit for some reason and air enters the heat medium circuit, the heat medium circuit can be automatically refilled with the heat medium before a pump is heated and damaged. When it is determined that a rotational speed of a pump is higher than an upper rotational speed limit, the controller 60 determines that the heat medium is leaking from the heat medium circuit and performs a heat-medium-introducing and air-purging control process.
