    摘要: A chilling unit includes a machine room unit to accommodate a compressor and a heat exchanger, and a plurality of air heat exchangers placed on top of the machine room unit. The air heat exchangers include a pair of air heat exchangers including two air heat exchangers opposite to each other in a lateral direction. They are inclined such that respective upper end portions of the two air heat exchangers have a spacing between each other greater than a spacing between respective lower end portions of the two air heat exchangers. In the lateral direction, the machine room unit has a top width greater than a heat-exchanger bottom width, the top width is one between side walls in a top face portion of the machine room unit, the bottom width is defined as a width between outer side faces of the respective lower end portions of the two air heat exchangers.

    摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a heat medium circulation circuit, a heat-source-side device, and a voltage drop device. In the heat medium circulation circuit, a pump, an indoor heat exchanger, and a flow control device are connected by pipes to circulate the heat medium. The pump sends a heat medium that contains water or brine and transfers heat. The indoor heat exchanger causes heat exchange to be performed between the heat medium and an indoor air in an air-conditioned space. The flow control device controls a flow rate of the heat medium in the indoor heat exchanger. The heat-source-side device heats or cools the heat medium before the heat medium is sent to the indoor heat exchanger.
    The voltage drop device reduces a voltage that is applied to the pump based on a value of a current that is supplied to the pump, in association with a flow rate of the heat medium in the heat medium circulation circuit.

    摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus includes; an outdoor unit including a compressor that compresses and discharges refrigerant to a refrigerant circuit; an indoor unit including a load-side heat exchanger that causes heat exchange to be performed between air in an air-conditioned space and a heat medium subjected to heat exchange with the refrigerant; a flow rate detection unit that detects a flow rate of the heat medium; and an alarm unit provided in the indoor unit. The alarm unit includes a determination unit and an abnormality alarm unit. The determination unit determines whether an abnormality occurs in the indoor unit or not based on the flow rate detected by the flow rate detection unit. The abnormality alarm unit outputs an alarm when the determination unit determines that the abnormality occurs in the indoor unit.

    摘要: A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit and a non-azeotropic refrigerant that flows through a refrigerant pipe. When the non-azeotropic refrigerant passes through an outdoor heat exchanger, a temperature difference occurs between an inlet and an outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger. The outdoor heat exchanger includes: a group of fins that are stacked at intervals; and a heat transfer tube that extends through the group of fins in a stacking direction of the group of fins and allows the non-azeotropic refrigerant to flow inside the heat transfer tube. The group of fins includes: a first fin part to which frost can adhere in a humid environment; and a second fin part to which no frost adheres to ensure ventilation.
