  • Patent number: 10465964
    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a discharge temperature sensor that detects a discharge temperature of refrigerant discharged from a compressor, and a controller that controls the opening degree of an expansion valve. The controller computes an amount of variation of the discharge temperature resulting from varying the opening degree of the expansion valve, computes a ratio of the amount of variation of the discharge temperature to an amount of variation of the opening degree of the expansion valve, and determines the opening degree to be set to the expansion valve on the basis of the opening degree of the expansion valve that causes a change of the ratio.

  • Patent number: 10151505
    Abstract: A mode selection unit selects a continuous operation mode when a dehumidifying operation is started. When an indoor temperature is less than or equal to a set first temperature threshold and indoor humidity is greater than a set humidity threshold in the continuous operation mode, the mode selection unit selects an intermittent operation mode. When the indoor temperature is less than or equal to a set second temperature threshold that is greater than the first temperature threshold and the indoor humidity is less than or equal to the set humidity threshold in the intermittent operation mode, the mode selection unit selects an operation stop mode.

  • Patent number: 10006658
    Abstract: The unit attaching device of the present invention has suspension brackets that have a hole for passing a suspension bolt suspended from a ceiling and that are installed to an indoor unit that is a unit to be suspended. The suspension brackets are installed on the ceiling side of the side surface of a housing of the indoor unit. For example, when an earthquake or the like occurs, the distance between a part that is the base point of the swing of the suspension bolt and the installation position of the unit can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20170336082
    Abstract: An infrared sensor is installed to one of the corners of a decorative panel to face different directions at the respective corners. A controller controls one of several air direction vanes and thus airflow out of one of air outlets and an air-conditioning apparatus to perform an operation, makes a determination of the installation position of the infrared sensor from one of several divided areas in which a temperature difference in floor surface between before and during an operation of the one of the air direction vanes equals or exceeds a specified value, a disposition position of the one of the air direction vanes, and an installation direction of the infrared sensor, and makes the one of the divided areas in which the temperature difference equals or exceeds the specified value correspond to the one of the air direction vanes to be controlled.

  • Patent number: 9746212
    Abstract: A refrigerating and air-conditioning apparatus suppresses liquid backflow to a compressor with a simple configuration, and reduces annual power consumption. An outdoor unit and an indoor unit are connected to each other by a gas-side connecting pipe and a liquid-side connecting pipe to form a refrigerant circuit in which a compressor, a four-way valve, an indoor heat exchanger, a refrigerant heat exchanger, an expansion valve, an outdoor heat exchanger, and an accumulator are sequentially connected. The refrigerant heat exchanger transfers heat between a high-pressure-side refrigerant flowing between the expansion valve and an outdoor-unit liquid pipe connecting portion and a low-pressure-side refrigerant on an outlet side of the accumulator.

  • Patent number: 9200832
    Abstract: While cooling operation is continued, a compressor is stopped when a detection temperature Tm reaches a control temperature Tc that is a lower temperature than a set temperature Ts only by a bias temperature ?Tb, and rotation of a turbofan is stopped if a human body is not present in a room R, or the rotation of the turbofan is continued and a value of the detection temperature Tm is corrected to a correction detection temperature Ta that is a lower temperature than the detection temperature Tm only by a predetermined temperature correction amount ?Tm. While the correction detection temperature Ta is a temperature that is equal to or lower than the set temperature Ts (the control temperature Tc for prevention of hunting) (Ta=Tm??Tm?Tc), the rotation of the turbofan is continued as long as a person is present in the room R, and thermo ON is resumed if the correction detection temperature Ta exceeds the set temperature Ts (Ta>Ts).
