For example, when the power load reaches a peak in an external power supply source 28 such as a power company at a time when the power consumption reaches a peak in summer or the like, a power control signal for suppressing the power consumption is transmitted via the transmission line 27 to the external power supply signal. The power control signal is received by the power control signal receiving device 22 from the supply source 28. A command to stop the operation of the air conditioner 21 is calculated by the operation signal calculation device 23 based on the power control signal received by the power control signal reception device 22, and the calculated operation stop command is output to the operation signal output via the communication line 26. It is output from the device 24 to the operating state detecting device 25. The air conditioner 21 stops the operation after receiving the operation stop command from the operation state detection device 25, and restarts the operation again after a predetermined time has elapsed. The power consumption of the air conditioner 21 is suppressed by repeating the above series of controls. The power suppression amount is adjusted by changing the operation stop time or changing the number of times of switching between operation and stop. These controls are performed until the peak of the power load has passed.

[0008] In FIG. 5, a dotted line indicates a circuit for detecting the indoor suction temperature of a normal air conditioner. The resistance value of the thermocouple 30 changes according to the indoor suction temperature, and the potential at point A in FIG. 5 changes accordingly. The indoor suction temperature calculating device 31 calculates the indoor suction temperature from the potential at the point A. As a result, when the indoor suction temperature reaches the set temperature, the operation of the air conditioner is settled down to a steady state, and the power consumption is reduced. The above is the operation control method of a normal air conditioner. In FIG.
A plurality of series circuits of switches 34a to 34e and resistors 35a to 35e are connected in parallel with the switch 34f. By switching these switches 34a to 34f, the potential at the point A is changed to A in a normal air conditioner circuit. It can be set lower than the point potential. That is, although the indoor suction temperature has not actually reached the set temperature, it appears to the indoor suction temperature calculating device 31 that the set temperature has been apparently reached, and the operation of the air conditioner is reduced to a steady state. , Reduce power consumption. Switch 34
The amount of reduction in power consumption is adjusted by adjusting the temperature difference from the actual indoor suction temperature by appropriately switching a to 34f.

When the power load reaches a peak in an external power supply source 10 such as a power company, for example, in the summer season when the power consumption peaks, a power control signal for suppressing power consumption is transmitted via the transmission line 9 to the power control signal. The signal is received by the signal receiving device 2. In addition, in an operation set value output device 6 such as a remote controller, operation set values such as temperature setting or air volume setting are set, and are converted to a signal format such as an infrared signal and output to the air conditioner 1c. The output signal is received by the operation set value receiving device 7 at the same time as the signal is received by the air conditioner 1c. The third operation control set value calculation device 3c receives the power control signal received by the power control signal reception device 2, and operates the operation set value output device 6 received by the operation set value reception device 7, such as temperature setting or air volume setting. A set value is read, and an operation control set value such as a new set temperature or a set air volume that can suppress power consumption within a range that does not impair comfort is calculated. The calculated operation control set value is output from the operation control signal output device 4 as an operation control signal to the operation set value output device 6.
Is output to the air conditioner 1c, and according to the operation control signal, the air conditioner 1c changes to a state in which power consumption is reduced without impairing comfort. Operation settings such as setting or air volume setting are changed, and after a certain period of time, operation is performed again with the original operation setting value. By repeating the above control, the power consumption of the air conditioner 1c is suppressed. The amount of suppression of power consumption is adjusted by changing the time for changing the operation setting or changing the number of times of changing the operation setting. These controls are performed for each air conditioner until the peak of the power load has passed, and as a result, the power load is leveled without impairing the comfort of each room. Further, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the operating state detecting means 5 is provided in the air conditioner 1c and connected to the operation control signal output device 4 via the communication line 8, so that the efficiency of each room is not impaired. Power load can be leveled well.
