Patent number: 11519623Abstract: An air conditioner switches between a normal refrigeration cycle and a defrosting refrigeration cycle, and includes: a refrigerant circuit that connects a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a radiation panel, and an expansion valve that regulates a flow rate of a refrigerant flowing through the radiation panel; and a controller that causes the air conditioner to switch between the normal refrigeration cycle and the defrosting cycle. During the normal refrigeration cycle, the radiation panel performs cooling or heating. During the defrosting cycle, the first heat exchanger serves as a radiator and the second heat exchanger serves as an evaporator. During the defrosting cycle, the controller causes the expansion valve to be in a fully closed state.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Ebina, Takashi Hasegawa, Toshimichi Nakayama

Publication number: 20200132322Abstract: An air-conditioning device includes: a suction air temperature sensor provided in an indoor unit; a wireless temperature sensor unit separate from the indoor unit; an abnormal condition determining section determining whether or not the wireless temperature sensor unit is in an abnormal condition; an index setting section setting a temperature index value; and a controller controlling operation of the air-conditioning device based on the set temperature index value. While the abnormal condition determining section determines that the wireless temperature sensor unit is in the abnormal condition, the index setting section determines a measurement value of the suction air temperature sensor to be the temperature index value.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2019Publication date: April 30, 2020Applicant: DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Toshimichi NAKAYAMA, Yoshiteru NOUCHI, Kousuke SHIOHAMA, Ryouta SUHARA
