Embodiment approach 1

[0017] figure 1 It is a figure which shows the structure of the air conditioner concerning Embodiment 1 of this invention. like figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 is a refrigeration cycle device having a refrigerant circuit configured by piping the outdoor unit 100 and the indoor unit 200 via gas refrigerant piping 300 and liquid refrigerant piping 400 . In the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1, one outdoor unit 100 and one indoor unit 200 are connected. The air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 can switch between a cooling operation for cooling the room which is a space to be air-conditioned, and a heating operation for heating the room.

[0018] Indoor unit 200 of Embodiment 1 includes indoor heat exchanger 5 and indoor fan 7 . The indoor heat exchanger 5 performs heat exchange between the air in the room which is the space to be air-conditioned and the refrigerant. For example, during heating operation, it functions as a condens...

Embodiment approach 2

[0034] In Embodiment 1 described above, the determination of clogging by foreign matter is performed when the operation of the air conditioner is started. The air conditioner according to Embodiment 2 performs processing for determining clogging while the air conditioner is operating.

[0035] Figure 5 It is a figure which shows the example of the time change of the command voltage of the fan motor 2A of the air conditioner concerning Embodiment 2 of this invention. Figure 5 A case where the air conditioner is operated in a state where the outdoor heat exchanger 1 of the outdoor unit 100 is clogged with foreign matter is shown. At this time, the increase rate α of the command voltage for the fan motor 2A set by the device control unit 10A tends to be larger than the increase rate β of the command voltage for the fan motor 2A due to frost formation.

[0036] Therefore, in the air conditioner according to Embodiment 2, it is determined whether or not clogging due to foreign ...

Embodiment approach 3

[0043] In Embodiment 1, the determination at the start of the operation of the air conditioner is performed. In addition, in Embodiment 2, determination is made based on the rate of increase of the command voltage during execution of the operation of the air conditioner. Embodiment 3 sets a determination threshold value for determining clogging of foreign matter caused by a command voltage during operation of the air conditioner.

[0044] Figure 7 It is a figure which shows the example of the time change of the command voltage of the fan motor 2A of the air conditioner concerning Embodiment 3 of this invention. like Figure 7 As shown, in Embodiment 3, the time required to be K times the reduction ratio of the allowable operating time relative to the normal operating time t2 is defined as the congested operating time K×t1. As described above, when clogging occurs, the interval until the defrosting operation is performed is shortened compared with the normal operation time....

Abstract

The air conditioner of the present invention includes: a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between a heat transfer medium and air; a fan for sending air to the heat exchanger; and a control device based on a command corresponding to the rotational speed of a fan motor that drives the fan. Voltage, to determine whether the blockage caused by foreign matter occurs in the heat exchanger.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to air conditioners. In particular, it relates to an air conditioner that predicts clogging of a heat exchanger included in an outdoor unit. Background technique [0002] In the outdoor unit of the heat pump refrigeration cycle device, during heating operation, frost may adhere to the heat exchanger, and the air passage of the air passing through the heat exchanger may be narrowed due to frost formation, resulting in a decrease in capacity. Hereinafter, when the air passage of the heat exchanger is narrowed and clogged due to adhering frost, it is referred to as frosting. In order to prevent performance reduction due to frost formation, it is necessary to perform a defrosting operation to remove frost adhering to the heat exchanger. Conventionally, in determining whether to perform a defrosting operation, the temperature detected by a temperature sensor attached to an outdoor heat exchanger was sometimes used. However, ...
