- Examples of the computer-readable storage medium include a magnetic disc, a magneto-optical disc, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, and a semiconductor memory.
- the air conditioner control device 40 is provided to the outdoor unit 2.
- the air conditioner control device 40 includes a pressure control unit 42, a pressure ratio control unit 44, and a storage 46.
- the pressure control unit 42 performs pressure regulating control for regulating the operation pressure of the refrigerant to be constant independently of the indoor load.
- pressure regulating control the rotation speed of the compressor 10 is controlled such that the operation pressure of the refrigerant becomes a predetermined target pressure, thereby ensuring the needed performance of the compressor 10.
- the pressure regulating control Upon determination of the initial rotation speed of the compressor 10, the pressure regulating control sets the target pressure according to the machine capacity, the rotation speed (operation frequency), and the like. In addition, the suction pressure (low pressure) is detected by a compression sensor during cooling, and the ejection pressure (high pressure) is detected by the compression sensor during heating, as pressure detection values.
- the pressure regulating control performs comparison between the target pressure and the pressure detection value and controls the rotation speed of the compressor 10. To be specific, the pressure regulating control during cooling decreases the rotation speed of the compressor 10 when the target pressure > the pressure detection value, and increases the rotation speed of the compressor 10 when the target pressure ⁇ the pressure detection value.
- the pressure regulating control during heating increases the rotation speed of the compressor 10 when the target pressure > the pressure detection value, and decreases the rotation speed of the compressor 10 when the target pressure ⁇ the pressure detection value.
- the rotation speed of the compressor 10 is regulated, so that the suction pressure is regulated during cooling and the ejection pressure is regulated during heating.
- the pressure ratio control unit 44 After the control by the pressure control unit 42, the pressure ratio control unit 44 performs the control of a pressure ratio (high pressure/low pressure) which is a ratio between the high pressure and low pressure of the refrigerant (hereinafter referred to as "compression ratio control") to provide an operational point that improves the efficiency of the compressor 10.
- a pressure ratio high pressure/low pressure
- compression ratio control a pressure ratio between the high pressure and low pressure of the refrigerant
- the storage 46 stores compressor efficiency distribution information that indicates the distribution of the efficiency of the compressor 10 obtained from the rotation speed of the compressor 10 and the pressure ratio.
- FIG. 3 is an efficiency map showing an example of compressor efficiency distribution information.
- the horizontal axis indicates the rotation speed of the compressor 10
- the vertical axis indicates the pressure ratio
- the solid contour lines indicate the efficiency of the compressor 10.
- Compressor efficiency distribution information may be stored in storage 46 in the form of a function, a table, or the like independently of an efficiency map like that of FIG. 3 .
- Pressure regulating control and compression ratio control executed by the air conditioner control device 40 according to this embodiment will now be explained.
- pressure regulating control and compression ratio control are collectively referred to as efficiency-enhancing control.
- pressure regulating control regulates the operation pressure of the refrigerant independently of the indoor load.
- the rotation speed of the compressor 10 is reduced such that the pressure of the refrigerant becomes a newly adjusted target pressure, thereby performing energy-saving control for suppressing the performance of the compressor 10.
- a decrease in indoor load refers to the approach of the indoor suction temperature and the set temperature to a predetermined range. If plurality of indoor units 3 are connected like in the multi-type air-conditioning system 1 according to this embodiment, for example, when the difference between the indoor suction temperature and the set temperature of more than half of the indoor units 3 is less than or equal to 1°C, the indoor load is regarded as decreasing.
- the pressure control unit 42 increases the current target pressure (target low pressure) to reduce the rotation speed of the compressor 10. On the contrary, if the indoor load decreases during heating, the pressure control unit 42 reduces the current target pressure (target high pressure) to reduce the rotation speed of the compressor 10.
- the target pressure is adjusted step by step and the difference between the indoor suction temperature and the set temperature is detected upon each adjustment. When the difference increases, the performance of the compressor 10 becomes insufficient for the indoor load, so that the adjustment of the target pressure terminates.
- the operational point represented by the point A is an operational point given under normal control before adjustment of the target pressure, i.e., before execution of energy-saving control.
- the point B is an operational point given after execution of energy-saving control.
- the operational point B given after energy-saving control is not necessarily an operational point efficient for the compressor 10.
- a region with a high pressure ratio e.g., a region containing a point C
- a region with a high pressure ratio is an operational point with higher efficiency.
- compression ratio control controls the pressure ratio to provide an operational point (the point C in the example of FIG. 3 and hereinafter referred as "efficiency optimum operational point") that improves the efficiency of the compressor 10.
- Table 1 shows the adjustment of the operational point of the compressor 10 during cooling and heating.
- #1 Cooling #2 Heating #3 High pressure #4 Low pressure #5 (a) adjust to provide an operational point that provides high efficiency of compressor (pressure ratio control) #6 (b) decrease target pressure and decrease rotation speed of compressor (low-power consumption control) #7 (b) increase target pressure and decrease rotation speed of compressor (low-power consumption control) #8 (a) adjust to provide an operational point that provides high efficiency of compressor (pressure ratio control)
- compression ratio control is performed by controlling the high pressure (ejection pressure) of the refrigerant during cooling
- energy-saving control is performed by controlling the low pressure (suction pressure) of the refrigerant.
- energy-saving control is performed by controlling the high pressure of the refrigerant during heating
- compression ratio control is performed by controlling the low pressure of the refrigerant.
- the pressure ratio control unit 44 performs compression ratio control by changing the rotation speed of an outdoor fan 24, for example.
- compression ratio control can be achieved without changing the rotation speed of the compressor 10.
- compression ratio control achieves the control of the pressure ratio without controlling the compressor 10 and easily changes the operational point of the compressor 10 to a desired value.
- the efficiency optimum operational point is predetermined to be, for example, a pressure ratio that provides the highest efficiency for the rotation speed of the compressor 10, and may have a certain width in the scale direction of the pressure ratio.
- FIG. 4 is a flow chart of an efficiency-enhancing control process executed by the air conditioner control device 40.
- a program for executing this process (an efficiency-enhancing control program) is stored in advance in a predetermined region in the storage 46. It should be noted that before execution of the efficiency-enhancing control process, pressure regulating control (normal control) without energy-saving control is performed in the air conditioner control device 40.
- Step S100 whether the indoor load has decreased to a level at which energy-saving control can be started is determined. If yes, the process proceeds to Step S102. If no, normal control is continued.
- Step S102 normal control is terminated and settings are made to start energy-saving control.
- the target pressure is adjusted to perform energy-saving control. It should be noted that during cooling, the target pressure (target low pressure) is increased, and during heating, the target pressure (target high pressure) is decreased.
- Step S106 whether the operation pressure matches the adjusted target pressure is determined. If yes, the process proceeds to Step S110. If no, the process proceeds to Step S108.
- Step S108 the rotation speed of the compressor 10 is controlled such that the operation pressure and the target pressure match.
- the process returns to Step S106 in which the operation pressure is compared with the adjusted target pressure.
- the rotation speed of the compressor 10 is decreased.
- the low pressure suction pressure
- the high pressure ejection pressure
- Step S110 the efficiency optimum operational point depending on the rotation speed of the compressor 10 is set.
- Step S112 whether the actual pressure ratio and a pressure ratio at the efficiency optimum operational point match is determined. If no, the process proceeds to Step S114. If yes, the process returns to Step S106 and energy-saving control and compression ratio control are repeatedly continued.
- Step S114 the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 24 is controlled such that the actual pressure ratio and the pressure ratio at the efficiency optimum operational point match.
- the process returns again to Step S112 in which the pressure ratio is compared with the pressure ratio at the efficiency optimum operational point.
- the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 24 is decreased. Accordingly, during cooling, the high pressure increases, and during heating, the low pressure decreases, so that the actual pressure ratio increases.
- the actual pressure ratio is higher than the pressure ratio at the efficiency optimum operational point, the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 24 is increased. Accordingly, during cooling, the high pressure decreases, and during heating, the low pressure increases, so that the actual pressure ratio decreases.
- the air conditioner control device 40 controls the rotation speed of the compressor 10 such that the operation pressure of the refrigerant becomes a predetermined target pressure and, after this control, controls the pressure ratio between the high pressure and low pressure of the refrigerant to provide an operational point that improves the efficiency of the compressor 10.
- the air conditioner control device 40 reduces the power consumption of the compressor 10 and allows the compressor 10 to operate more efficiently.
- the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 24 is controlled to control the pressure ratio according to the description of the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the degree of opening of the outdoor expansion valve 15 may be controlled to control the pressure ratio.
- Step S114 if the actual pressure ratio is lower than the pressure ratio at the efficiency optimum operational point, the outdoor expansion valve 15 is closed. Accordingly, during cooling, the high pressure increases, and during heating, the low pressure decreases, so that the actual pressure ratio increases. On the contrary, if the actual pressure ratio is higher than the pressure ratio at the efficiency optimum operational point, the outdoor expansion valve 15 is opened. Accordingly, during cooling, the high pressure decreases, and during heating, the low pressure increases, so that the actual pressure ratio decreases.
- both the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 24 and the degree of opening of the outdoor expansion valve 15 may be controlled to control the pressure ratio.
- parallel-connected multiple refrigerant circuits each including a throttle and an electromagnetic valve may be provided and the degree of throttling may be changed by changing the flow path of the refrigerant by opening and closing the electromagnetic valve, thereby controlling the pressure ratio.
- a plurality of outdoor heat-exchangers 13 may be provided and the pressure ratio may be controlled by changing the number (capacity) of outdoor heat-exchangers 13 carrying the refrigerant.
- compression ratio control is performed after energy-saving control according to the description of the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this and compression ratio control may be performed without energy-saving control.
- compression ratio control may be performed to make the operational point of the compressor 10 be the operational point C with higher efficiency.
- the air conditioner control device 40 performs pressure regulating control for regulating the operation pressure of the refrigerant to be constant independently of the indoor load according to the description of the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this and energy-saving control may be performed without pressure regulating control.
- energy-saving control is performed when the indoor load decreases according to the description of the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this and energy-saving control may be performed not only when the indoor load decreases but also when the user (manager) of the multi-type air-conditioning system 1 changes settings, for example, a setting for decreasing the rotation speed of the compressor 10 or a setting for changing the target pressure of the refrigerant.
