Title:
AIR CONDITIONER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/027233
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An air conditioner having multiple inter-heating-medium heat exchangers that perform the same function (that of a condenser or evaporator), with heat being exchanged between a refrigerant which is heated or cooled in a refrigeration cycle circuit on the heat source side and a heating medium flowing in a heating medium circulation circuit on the usage side by means of the inter-heating-medium heat exchangers (31), and the heat energy generated on the heat source side being transferred to usage-side heat exchangers (35), wherein a control device (202) calculates a heating medium temperature difference ∆Tw for the usage-side heat exchanger (35) which is operating, which is the difference between the heating medium inlet temperature Twi and the heating medium inlet temperature Two of the usage-side heat exchanger (35), and controls heating medium flow volume adjustment devices (45) such that the heating medium temperature difference ∆Tw matches a target heating medium temperature difference value ∆Twm. When the heating medium inlet temperature Twi is outside of a prescribed range, the control device changes the target heating medium temperature difference value ∆Twm and controls at least one of the heating medium flow volume adjustment devices (45) of the usage-side heat exchanger (35) which is operating.
