Title:
AIR CONDITIONER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/207304
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In a conventional air conditioner, ON/OFF of a heater is controlled on the basis of a difference between a set temperature and a detected indoor temperature if the capacity of a compressor is at least a prescribed capacity, and thus there was a problem where energy was wasted by unnecessarily operating the heater in accordance with a temporary temperature change caused by a disturbance or the like. The present invention starts the operation of the heater if a temperature change rate associated with the passage of time in an air-conditioning space during operation of a compressor is less than a set temperature change rate. This air conditioner uses the temperature change rate in heater control, thereby making it possible to operate the heater in accordance with the heating load state of the air-conditioning space, and to prevent waste of energy due to unnecessary heater operations in response to temporary temperature changes.
