摘要:
A unitary air conditioner comprises a 1-stage thermostat mounted in a room for generating an air conditioner ON/OFF signal, an indoor unit configured to operate based on a signal from the 1-stage thermostat, and a variable-capacity outdoor unit connected to the 1-stage thermostat and the indoor unit. The variable-capacity outdoor unit has variable operation stages, which are changed based on the previous operation state and the current operation state. When a unitary-capacity operation signal is inputted from the 1-stage thermostat, a start operation stage of an outdoor unit is determined based on the combination of the operation stage of the outdoor unit operated before the operation signal is inputted and the operation time in the stage, and the determined operation is performed. The 1-stage thermostat can be connected to the variable-capacity outdoor unit according to circumstances.

A unitary air conditioner comprises a 1-stage thermostat for generating an operation signal for the unitary air conditioner or a stop signal for the unitary air conditioner, a 1-stage indoor unit having an indoor fan, which is rotated according the operation signal from the 1-stage thermostat, a variable-capacity outdoor unit configured to be operated according to the 1-stage thermostat, the variable-capacity outdoor unit having a compressor and an outdoor fan, the operation stage of which is changed according to the operation state of the variable-capacity outdoor unit, and an indoor fan control device for controlling the indoor fan according to the operation stage of the variable-capacity outdoor unit to change the operation state of the indoor fan. The 1-stage indoor unit is operated along with another unit having different stages, and variable control is accomplished, although the 1-stage indoor unit is used, so long as the indoor fan control device is added to the unitary air conditioner. Consequently, a more efficient air conditioning system is accomplished.

A method of preventing rapid on/off of a compressor in a unitary air conditioner comprises the steps of, when a unitary-capacity operation signal is inputted from a thermostat to start an outdoor unit, and a specific operation stage is continued for more than a predetermined period of time after the operation is started, changing the operation stage of the outdoor unit to an operation stage higher than the specific operation stage, and operating the outdoor unit in the changed operation stage, and, when the compressor is stopped according to a signal from the thermostat within a specific period of time after the operation stage is changed to an operation stage higher than the specific operation stage, starting the operation in the specific operation stage at the next operation, and still performing the operation in the specific operation stage although the operation state is continued for more than a predetermined period of time. Consequently, the compressor is prevented from being rapidly turned on/off, and therefore, operational reliability of the compressor is improved, and the service life of the compressor is increased.

Disclosed is a method for operating a plurality of compressors of an air conditioner in accordance with a cooling or heating load in a room, in which a power supply unit for supplying power to the compressors is protected when a cooling or heating load in a room is the highest grade. The method comprises the steps of: (a) determining the cooling or heating load in the room; and (b) sequentially operating the plural compressors when it is determined as a result of the step (a) that the cooling or heating load in the room is in the highest grade.

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling the operation of an air conditioner, in which one or more compressors are operated so that the total refrigerant compression capacity of the operating compressors is variably changed according to a cooling or heating load to be eliminated, and an opening degree of an electronic expansion valve is controlled between minimum and maximum values set according to the total refrigerant compression capacity of the operating compressors, thus stably operating the air conditioner and preventing the refrigerant in a liquid state from being introduced into the compressors and the compressors from overheating.

Disclosed is a method for operating an air conditioner in a warming mode, including the 100% operation performing step of operating/stopping all of compressors, the load determining step of determining a warming load to be eliminated after completion of the 100% operation performing step, the 100%/X% operation performing step of operating all of the compressors when it is determined at the load determining step that the warming load is not large, subsequently stopping a part of the compressors, and subsequently stopping the remainder of the compressors, the sensing step of sensing the number of stoppages of the remainder of the compressors after completion of the 100%/X% operation performing step, and the X% operation performing step of operating/stopping the remainder of the compressors when the sensed number of stoppage times reaches a predetermined number. Since the 100%/X% operation is carried out in response to a warming load generated after the 100% operation, this method properly copes with the warming load at an initial stage of the warming mode. Further, since the X% operation is carried out after the 100%/X% operation is repeated in a predetermined number, the method of the present invention precisely and promptly copes with the variation of the warming load.
摘要:
Disclosed are compressor-controlling device and method for an air conditioner comprising a plurality of compressors. In case several compressors selected from the plural compressors are stopped for a long period of time according to cooling or heating load, the refrigerant contained in a higher-pressure state inside of the stopped compressors moves toward a refrigerant pipe of a lower-pressure inlet port, and oil used to operate the compressors leaks toward the inlet port, thus lowering the oil level within the stopped compressors. Since the stopped compressors are operated during a second designated time when stopped time of the stopped compressors exceeds a first designated time, the stopped compressors are protected from damage due to poor lubrication.

Disclosed are an air conditioning system with two compressors so as to shorten standby time for re-operating a stopped compressor and variably change the compression capacity of a refrigerant according to cooling load, and a method for operating the air conditioning system. The method for operating the air conditioning system with two compressors, comprises the first step of simultaneously operating the compressors regardless of cooling load at an early stage of the operation, the second step of selectively operating one of the compressors according to the cooling load, and the third step of additionally re-operating the stopped compressor when the operated compressor selected from the compressor in the second step is continuously operated for longer than a designated time, thereby shortening the standby time for re-operating the stopped compressor, rapidly changing the compression capacity of the refrigerant according to the cooling load, and improving users' comfort within a room.
摘要:
An air conditioning system and a method for operating the air conditioning system, in which a plurality of compressors are simultaneously or selectively operated, based on the difference between a room temperature and a desired temperature generated during a waiting time for re-operation of the compressors. The room temperature varying during the waiting time for the re-operation of the compressors maintained at a stopped state is sensed to determine whether or not an increase in cooling load occurs. Based on the amount of the cooling load, it is determined whether the compressors have to operate simultaneously or selectively. That is, the refrigerant compression capacity of the air conditioning system is determined by reflecting the cooling load caused by a variation in room temperature occurring during the waiting time for re-operation taken until any compressor maintained in a stopped state is re-operated. Accordingly, it is possible to more stably control the room temperature, and to achieve an improvement in the comfortableness of the room atmosphere.
