る。In order to achieve the above object, an operation control method for an air conditioner according to the present invention is a refrigerant circulation circuit having a compressor, a condensing heat exchanger, an expansion device, an evaporative heat exchanger and an accumulator. And, in the air conditioner having a cold water circulation circuit that circulates the cold water cooled in the evaporation heat exchanger of the refrigerant circulation circuit to the indoor heat exchanger by the circulation pump, it was detected that the refrigerant circulation circuit was in an overloaded state. Occasionally, the operation of the circulation pump of the cold water circulation circuit is stopped while the compressor continues to operate, and overload control is started, and the refrigerant circulation circuit changes from the overload state to the normal load state within the preset standby time. When it returns to, the operation of the circulation pump of the cold water circulation circuit is restarted to stop the overload control, and when the refrigerant circulation circuit does not return from the overload state to the normal load state within the standby time, When the refrigerant circulation circuit is overloaded by stopping the operation of the ring circuit and the chilled water circulation circuit, the chilled water circulation circuit is stopped before the compressor stops due to overheating or overcurrent of the compressor and the OLR operates. Although the cooling capacity is temporarily reduced by controlling the on / off control of the chilled water circulation pump, it is possible to continue the operation of the cooling side circuit while eliminating the overload of the compressor, and to cool immediately after the heating operation. It is also effective in driving. The overload control is started when it is detected that the discharge temperature of the compressor has exceeded the preset upper limit value, and the inlet temperature of the accumulator is reset within the preset standby time. The overload control can be stopped at the time when it is detected that the load has dropped below. Further, when the overload control is being performed, it is possible to stop the overload control at the time when it is detected that the discharge temperature of the compressor is lower than the upper limit set value by a preset reduction amount. Also, when it is detected that the current of the compressor exceeds the preset upper limit current value, overload control is started, and the current of the compressor is preset more than the upper limit current value within the preset standby time. It is possible to stop the overload control at the time when it is detected that the set reduced current value has decreased. Further, when it is detected that the discharge pressure of the compressor has exceeded the preset upper limit pressure, overload control is started, and the discharge pressure of the compressor is preset to be higher than the upper limit pressure within a preset standby time. It is possible to stop the overload control at the time when it is detected that the discharge pressure has decreased by the discharged amount. In addition, after ending the overload control and restarting the operation of the circulation pump of the cold water circulation circuit, check whether the cold water circulation of the cold water circulation circuit is present, and if the cold water is circulating, judge that the cold water circulation circuit is normal. The operation of the refrigerant circulation circuit and the cold water circulation circuit is continued, and when the cold water is not circulating, the cold water circulation circuit determines that there is an abnormality and stops the operation of the refrigerant circulation circuit and the cold water circulation circuit. When the operation of the cold water circulation pump is restarted after overload control ends, the temperature of the water supplied to the evaporation heat exchanger rises, the evaporation of the refrigerant in the evaporator proceeds, and the evaporation pressure and evaporation temperature of the evaporation heat exchanger increase. Therefore, there is no risk of the evaporative heat exchanger being overcooled, and there is no freeze damage.However, if cold water remains in the evaporative heat exchanger, the evaporative pressure of the evaporative heat exchanger, Evaporation temperature does not rise There is a risk that evaporative heat exchanger is frozen is supercooled by stopping the operation of the cooling side circuit to verify that the cold water circulation is not possible to prevent freezing damage to the evaporator heat exchanger. When the operation of the chilled water circulation pump is restarted after the end of overload control and it is confirmed that the discharge temperature of the compressor has risen during the preset confirmation time, it is determined that the refrigerant is in a normal state and the refrigerant Continue operation of circulation circuit and cold water circulation circuit,
When the discharge temperature of the compressor does not rise, it is possible to determine that the cold water circulation circuit is abnormal and stop the operation of the refrigerant circulation circuit and the cold water circulation circuit. When the operation of the chilled water circulation pump is restarted after the overload control is finished and it is confirmed that the compressor current has increased during the preset confirmation time, it is determined that it is in the normal state and the refrigerant circulation is determined. The operation of the circuit and the cold water circulation circuit is continued, and when the current of the compressor does not increase, it is possible to determine that the cold water circulation circuit is abnormal and stop the operation of the refrigerant circulation circuit and the cold water circulation circuit. Further, when the operation of the chilled water circulation pump is restarted after the end of the overload control, and it is confirmed that the discharge pressure of the compressor has risen during the preset confirmation time, it is determined that the refrigerant is in the normal state, and the refrigerant is judged to be normal. It is possible to continue the operation of the circulation circuit and the cold water circulation circuit, and when the discharge pressure of the compressor does not rise, determine that the cold water circulation circuit is abnormal and stop the operation of the refrigerant circulation circuit and the cold water circulation circuit.

When it is detected that the refrigerant circulation circuit is overloaded, the operation of the circulation pump of the chilled water circulation circuit is stopped while the compressor continues to operate, and overload control is started within the preset waiting time. When the refrigerant circulation circuit returns from the overload state to the normal load state, the operation of the circulation pump of the chilled water circulation circuit is restarted to stop the overload control, and the refrigerant circulation circuit returns from the overload state to the normal state within the standby time. If the refrigerant circulation circuit and chilled water circulation circuit are not operating again when the load condition of the above does not return, when the refrigerant circulation circuit becomes overloaded, the OLR operates due to overheating of the compressor or overcurrent, and the compressor Although the cooling capacity is temporarily reduced by turning on / off the chilled water circulation pump of the chilled water circulation circuit before stopping, the operation of the cooling side circuit can be continued while eliminating the overload of the compressor. it can At the same time, it is effective in the cooling operation immediately after the heating operation. The determination of the overload state or the normal state is performed by detecting the discharge temperature of the compressor, the discharge pressure or current, or the inlet temperature of the accumulator, so that the determination can be performed without the need for a special detection device. it can. Also,
When the overload control is being performed, the overload control can be stopped when it is detected that the discharge temperature of the compressor is lower than the upper limit set value by a preset reduction amount. Also, when it is detected that the current of the compressor exceeds the preset upper limit current value, overload control is started, and the current of the compressor is preset more than the upper limit current value within the preset standby time. It is possible to stop the overload control at the time when it is detected that the set reduced current value has decreased.
Further, when it is detected that the discharge pressure of the compressor has exceeded the preset upper limit pressure, overload control is started, and the discharge pressure of the compressor is preset to be higher than the upper limit pressure within a preset standby time. It is possible to stop the overload control at the time when it is detected that the discharge pressure has decreased by the discharged amount.
In addition, after ending the overload control and restarting the operation of the circulation pump of the cold water circulation circuit, check whether the cold water circulation of the cold water circulation circuit is present, and if the cold water is circulating, judge that the cold water circulation circuit is normal. The operation of the refrigerant circulation circuit and the cold water circulation circuit is continued, and when the cold water is not circulating, the cold water circulation circuit determines that there is an abnormality and stops the operation of the refrigerant circulation circuit and the cold water circulation circuit. When the operation of the cold water circulation pump is restarted after overload control ends, the temperature of the water supplied to the evaporation heat exchanger rises, the evaporation of the refrigerant in the evaporator proceeds, and the evaporation pressure and evaporation temperature of the evaporation heat exchanger increase. Therefore, there is no risk of the evaporative heat exchanger being overcooled, and there is no freeze damage.However, if cold water remains in the evaporative heat exchanger, the evaporative pressure of the evaporative heat exchanger, Evaporation temperature does not rise There is a risk that evaporative heat exchanger is frozen is supercooled by stopping the operation of the cooling side circuit to verify that the cold water circulation is not possible to prevent freezing damage to the evaporator heat exchanger. Further, by determining the abnormality of the chilled water circulation circuit by the rise of the discharge temperature of the compressor, the rise of the discharge pressure, or the increase of the current, it is possible to make the determination without requiring a special detection device. .
