  • Publication number: 20230383980
    Abstract: An air-conditioning system includes an air-conditioning apparatus, a storage device, a deterioration estimation unit, a lifetime calculation circuitry, a control construction circuitry, and an air-conditioning control circuitry. The storage device stores the values of a plurality of contrast parameters indicating the operating status of a plurality of air-conditioning apparatuses including a contrast air-conditioning apparatus that is identical in condition to the air-conditioning apparatus and stores contrast deterioration information items indicating on a time-series basis the degree of deterioration. The deterioration estimation circuitry estimates, based on the values of an operation parameter and a contrast parameter, the degree of deterioration of the air-conditioning apparatus. The lifetime calculation circuitry extracts, based on the degree of deterioration, an extracted deterioration information item.

  • Publication number: 20230366582
    Abstract: A disadvantage such as loss of life to a bearing of an indoor fan motor may occur when the number of rotations of the indoor fan falls below a predetermined number of rotations. An indoor unit includes a fan, a casing, a first horizontal flap, a second horizontal flap, and an indoor controller. The casing accommodates the fan, and has a blow-out port through which air provided by the fan is blown out. The indoor controller performs opening and closing operations to bring the first and second horizontal flaps into a first state in decreasing an airflow volume to be blown out through the blow-out port. In the first state, the first horizontal flap is in a position to open a first portion of the blow-out port while the second horizontal flap is in or substantially in a position to close a second portion of the blow-out port.
