Also, although above-mentioned refrigerant detector is expensive, in the present embodiment as relative to from above-mentioned heat source pusher side The refrigerant of generation leaks and can prevent the structure of burning, anoxic, so not needing that refrigerant leakage is arranged in heat source pusher side Detector.Therefore, the setting number that can reduce expensive refrigerant detector, can correspondingly obtain cheap air conditioner. That is, in the present embodiment, since above-mentioned heat source machine 2 is the structure being illustrated in Figure 3, it is possible to not be arranged in 2 side of heat source machine and make Cryogen detector is able to suppress cost increase and realizes honest and clean so as to reduce the setting number of expensive refrigerant detector The air conditioner of valence.
In addition, being used as global warming potential GWP smaller since the refrigerant as air conditioner has used in the present embodiment Refrigerant HFO1234yf, HFO1234ze, so there is the refrigerant pressure loss of the low-pressure side of air conditioner to tend to get bigger Project.It is also identical for the project, since above-mentioned heat source machine 2 is set as ceiling flush type heat source machine, institute in the present embodiment The length for the refrigerant piping for connecting indoor unit with heat source machine can be shortened, such as 10m or less can be configured to.Therefore, The refrigerants such as HFO1234yf, HFO1234ze that density is lower when used as steam and volume becomes larger, and sky can be reduced The refrigerant pressure loss of the low-pressure side of tune machine, as a result, can get the good air conditioner of efficiency that can also reduce power consumption.
Also, in the present embodiment, the air supply device 24 of the heat source machine 2 of above-mentioned ceiling flush type be configured to air conditioner not It is also regularly driven when operating.That is, even if in the stopped process of air conditioner, using timer etc. regularly, it is for example every Day 1 time~repeatedly rotate with respectively carrying out several seconds~a few minutes above-mentioned air supply device 24, and make to produce in the cabinet 2a of heat source machine 2 The flowing C of raw air.It, also can be regularly to construction even if generating refrigerant leakage in the stopped process of air conditioner as a result, The leakage of refrigerant is discharged in beyond the region of objective existence, and the risk burnt so as to avoid leakage of refrigerant from being gradually accumulated in cabinet 2a increases Greatly.
In the stopped process of air conditioner, in the case where not as the present embodiment operating regularly air supply device, If generating refrigerant leakage, the refrigerant of micro- combustion property is detained in heat source machine 2 and its concentration rises, thus risk on fire Rise.If also, leakage of refrigerant flows and the room where above-mentioned refrigerant to occupant 10 in ceiling etc. from heat source machine 2 Interior 1b (referring to Fig.1) intrusion, then also have and generate indoor burning, the danger of anoxic.
In contrast, in the present embodiment, as noted previously, as regularly being driven in the stopped process in air conditioner Air supply device 24, so can prevent that leakage of refrigerant is detained in heat source machine 2 and its concentration rises or leakage of refrigerant is to room Interior 1b intrusion, so as to reliably avoid generating burning, anoxic because of the leakage of micro- combustion property refrigerant.
As described above, the refrigerant of the lesser micro- combustion property of global warming potential GWP is able to use according to the present embodiment, It can be avoided danger on fire, and the setting number due to can also reduce refrigerant leakage detector simultaneously, so can It realizes cost effective.Also, since the refrigerant pressure loss of the low-pressure side of air conditioner can also become smaller, so also obtaining can Obtain the effect of the good air conditioner of efficiency.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, including various modifications example.For example, in above-described embodiment, with It uses global warming potential GWP smaller as refrigerant and the example of HFO1234yf, HFO1234ze of micro- combustion property carries out Explanation, but the R32 of smaller using GWP and micro- combustion property the case where or using property having the same other systems It can similarly be applied in the case where cryogen, mix refrigerant.Also, ceiling flush type heat source machine is set as to by heat source machine Situation is illustrated, but heat source machine is not limited to ceiling flush type, even the room for the type being set to outside fabrication Outer machine can similarly apply technical idea of the invention.
In addition, the above embodiments be for easy understanding the present invention and be illustrated in detail, be not limited to have Standby illustrated entire infrastructure.
