- an air sending fan is operated at a preset airflow rate. This can restrain the formation of a flammable concentration region in the room if refrigerant leaks.
- Refrigeration oil stored in a compressor is normally discharged from the compressor together with refrigerant to circulate in an air conditioner. If the refrigerant leaks, thus, the refrigeration oil also leaks in many cases. PTL 1, however, does not reflect a situation in which the refrigeration oil would leak with the refrigerant.

- Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration of an air conditioner 100 according to Embodiment 1.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic external view of an indoor unit 10 of air conditioner 100 of Fig. 1 .
- air conditioner 100 refrigerant including flammable R290 (propane) is used.
- Air conditioner 100 includes a heating mode, a cooling mode, and a defrosting mode as operation modes.
- air conditioner 100 includes indoor unit 10 and an outdoor unit 11. Both of indoor unit 10 and outdoor unit 11 are supplied with electric power from a main power supply Ps1 (first power supply).
- Ps1 first power supply
- Indoor unit 10 is located indoors (in a first space). Indoor unit 10 includes an indoor heat exchanger 1 (first heat exchanger), an indoor fan 2, a refrigerant sensor s1 (first sensor), and an odor sensor s2 (second sensor). Outdoor unit 11 is located outdoors (in a second space). Outdoor unit 11 includes a compressor 3, a four-way valve 4, an expansion valve 5, an outdoor heat exchanger 6 (second heat exchanger), an outdoor fan 7, and a controller 8. Compressor 3 stores refrigeration oil for lubrication of a compression mechanism. The refrigeration oil is a refrigeration oil with a unique odor and includes, for example, PAG (PolyAlkylene Glycol).
- controller 8 controls four-way valve 4 to form a flow path such that the refrigerant circulates in order of compressor 3, indoor heat exchanger 1, expansion valve 5, and outdoor heat exchanger 6.
- indoor heat exchanger 1 functions as a condenser
- outdoor heat exchanger 6 functions as an evaporator.
- controller 8 controls four-way valve 4 to form a flow path such that the refrigerant circulates in order of compressor 3, outdoor heat exchanger 6, expansion valve 5, and indoor heat exchanger 1.
- indoor heat exchanger 1 functions as an evaporator
- outdoor heat exchanger 6 functions as a condenser.
- Controller 8 controls a drive frequency of compressor 3 to control an amount of the refrigerant to be discharged per unit time by compressor 3. Controller 8 controls a degree of opening of expansion vale 5. Controller 8 controls an air delivery rate per unit time of each of indoor fan 2 and outdoor fan 7.
- refrigerant sensor s1 and odor sensor s2 are located leeward of indoor heat exchanger 1 in a direction in which indoor fan 2 blows air.
- Refrigerant sensor s1 outputs a detection signal (first detection signal) indicative of a concentration of the refrigerant to controller 8.
- Odor sensor s2 outputs a detection signal (second detection signal) indicative of an odor of the refrigeration oil to controller 8.
- the refrigeration oil stored in compressor 3 is normally discharged from compressor 3 with the refrigerant and circulates through air conditioner 100. Accordingly, if the refrigerant leaks, the refrigeration oil also leaks in many cases.
- Embodiment 1 thus, a refrigerant leak in a room is detected using a concentration of the refrigerant and an odor of the refrigeration oil.
- an odor of the refrigeration oil is used in addition to a concentration of the refrigerant, a refrigerant leak can be detected with a higher degree of accuracy than when a refrigerant leak is detected using only a concentration of the refrigerant, leading to improved safety of the air conditioner.
- Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of a refrigerant leak detection process performed by controller 8. The process shown in Fig. 3 is invoked on a regular or irregular basis by a main routine (not shown) that controls an operation of air conditioner 100. A step will also be referred to as S below.
- a detection level L1 refers to a level of a detection signal of refrigerant sensor s1
- a detection level L2 refers to a level of a detection signal of odor sensor s2.
- controller 8 determines whether detection level L1 of a concentration of the refrigerant in the room is greater than a threshold A1 (first threshold) at S11.
- controller 8 performs a safety ensuring process at S14 and then returns the process to the main routine.
- the safety ensuring process for example, the following are performed: a process of making the distribution of refrigerant in the room uniform by agitating indoor air by indoor fan 2 to thereby dilute the concentration of the refrigerant, generation of an alarm sound, flashing of a lamp, and display of a message.
- controller 8 determines whether detection level L2 of the refrigeration oil in the room is greater than a threshold B1 (second threshold) at S12. When detection level L2 of the refrigeration oil in the room is greater than threshold B1 (YES at S12), controller 8 performs the safety ensuring process at S14 and then returns the process to the main routine. When detection level L2 of the refrigeration oil in the room is smaller than or equal to threshold B1 (NO at S12), controller 8 returns the process to the main routine.
- determination of a refrigerant leak using a concentration of the refrigerant (S11) and determination of a refrigerant leak using an odor of the refrigeration oil (S12) are performed at different steps.
- the determination of a refrigerant leak may be performed using a concentration of the refrigerant and an odor of the refrigeration oil at the same step, and for example, the process shown in Fig. 4 may be performed in place of the process shown in Fig. 3 .
- Fig. 3 determination of a refrigerant leak using a concentration of the refrigerant (S11) and determination of a refrigerant leak using an odor of the refrigeration oil (S12) are performed at different steps.
- the determination of a refrigerant leak may be performed using a concentration of the refrigerant and an odor of the refrigeration oil at the same step, and for example, the process shown in Fig. 4 may be performed in place of the process shown in Fig. 3 .
- the determination of a refrigerant leak (S13) using a concentration of the refrigerant and an odor of the refrigeration oil is performed when detection level L1 is smaller than or equal to threshold A1 in the determination of a refrigerant leak using a concentration of the refrigerant (NO at S11) and when detection level L2 is smaller than or equal to threshold B1 in the determination of a refrigerant leak using an odor of the refrigeration oil (NO at S12).
- detection level L1 is smaller than or equal to threshold A1 and detection level L2 is smaller than or equal to threshold B1, and accordingly, the condition for determining a refrigerant leak needs to be set at S13 in the range in which detection level L1 is smaller than or equal to threshold A1 and detection level L2 is smaller than or equal to threshold B1.
- a threshold A2 third threshold
- a threshold B2 fourth threshold
- controller 8 determines at S13 whether detection level L1 is greater than threshold A2 and whether detection level L2 is greater than threshold B2.
- controller 8 performs the safety ensuring process at S14 and returns the process to the main routine.
- detection level L1 is smaller than or equal to threshold A2 or detection level L2 is smaller than or equal to threshold B2 (NO at S13)
- controller 8 returns the process to the main routine.
- the condition for determining a refrigerant leak is the condition that detection level L1 of the concentration of the refrigerant or detection level L2 of the refrigeration oil is greater than a threshold.
- the condition for determining a refrigerant leak may be determined based on whether a point specified by detection level L1 and detection level L2 is included in a refrigerant leak region in which a refrigerant leak should be determined on a plane of coordinates indicating the relation between detection level L1 and detection level L2.
- Fig. 5 is a plane of coordinates indicating the relation between detection level L1 and detection level L2, where the X-axis indicates detection level L1 of a concentration of the refrigerant and the Y-axis indicates detection level L2 of the refrigeration oil.
- the refrigerant leak region shown in Fig. 5 is represented by Expression (1) below.
- Detection level L1 and detection level L2 that satisfy Expression (1) are included in the refrigerant leak region.
- a detection level L1 and a detection level L2 of point P3 on a boundary line (a straight line connecting a point P1 (A1, 0) and a point P2 (0, B1)) between the refrigerant leak region and a refrigerant no-leak region (a region that does not satisfy Expression (1)).
- Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of the process of determining a refrigerant leak using Expression (1).
- the flowchart shown in Fig. 6 is a flowchart obtained by replacing S11 and S12 of Fig. 3 with S10.
- controller 8 determines whether detection level L1 and detection level L2 satisfy Expression (1). When detection level L1 and detection level L2 satisfy Expression (1) (YES at S10), controller 8 performs the safety ensuring process at S14 and returns the process to the main routine. When detection level L1 and detection level L2 do not satisfy Expression (1) (No at S10), controller 8 returns the process to the main routine.
- the air conditioners according to Embodiment 1 and Modifications 1 and 2 can have improved safety.
- Embodiment 1 has described the case where the refrigerant sensor and the odor sensor are supplied with electric power from a power supply of an air conditioner.
- Embodiment 2 will describe a case where at least one of the refrigerant sensor and the odor sensor is supplied with electric power from a power supply different from the power supply of the air conditioner.
- Such a configuration can detect a refrigerant leak because at least one of the refrigerant sensor and the odor sensor operates even when the air conditioner is not supplied with electric power (when the air conditioning apparatus and the power supply are not connected or when a power failure occurs).
- Fig. 7 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration of an air conditioner 200 according to Embodiment 2.
- the configuration of air conditioner 200 is a configuration obtained by adding an auxiliary power supply Ps2 (second power supply) to the configuration of air conditioner 100 of Fig. 1 and replacing refrigerant sensor s1 and odor sensor s2 respectively with a refrigerant sensor s21 and an odor sensor s22.
- the other components are similar, description of which will not be repeated.
- auxiliary power supply Ps2 supplies electric power to odor sensor s22.
- Auxiliary power supply Ps2 includes, for example, a battery.
- Odor sensor s22 informs a refrigerant leak by, for example, an alarm sound, flashing of a lamp, or display of a message when detection level L2 exceeds threshold B1.
- the sensor that is supplied with electric power from auxiliary power supply Ps2 when power supply from main power supply Ps1 is stopped (e.g., when a cord of air conditioner 200 is pulled out of main power supply Ps1 or when a power failure occurs) may be refrigerant sensor s21.
- refrigerant sensor s21 informs a refrigerant leak by, for example, an alarm sound, flashing of a lamp, or display of a message.
- At least one of refrigerant sensor s1 and odor sensor s22 operates even when power supply from main power supply Ps1 is stopped, and accordingly, the operating sensor can detect a refrigerant leak.
- the sensor that is supplied with electric power from auxiliary power supply Ps2 receives electric power from main power supply Ps1 and does not consume the electric power of auxiliary power supply Ps2 during normal operation, and receives electric power from auxiliary power supply Ps2 in case of emergency.
- both of refrigerant sensor s1 and odor sensor s2 are supplied with electric power from auxiliary power supply Ps2 such that both of refrigerant sensor s1 and odor sensor s2 operate also when power supply from main power supply Ps1 is stopped.
- the air conditioner according to Embodiment 2 can detect a refrigerant leak even when no electric power is supplied to the air conditioner, and accordingly, can have more improved safety than in Embodiment 1.
- Embodiments 1 and 2 have described the case where an odor of the refrigeration oil is detected by a sensor.
- Embodiments 3 and 4 will describe a configuration that causes a user to recognize an odor of the refrigeration oil, so that the user himself/herself can become aware of a leak of the refrigeration oil into the room.
- R290 included in the refrigerant used in the air conditioning apparatus according to Embodiment 1 is almost odorless. Also, the refrigerant that circulates in the air conditioning apparatus is required to be chemically stable, and accordingly, an odorant is not normally added to the refrigerant. This makes it difficult for the user to perceive an odor of the refrigerant which has leaked into the room in many cases.
- a refrigeration oil for example, a PAG oil has a unique odor, and accordingly, the user can become aware of that an unfamiliar odor is included in the room in case of a leak of the refrigeration oil from the air conditioner with the refrigerant. However, the user frequently does not recognize that such an odor is the odor of the refrigeration oil.
- Embodiments 3 and 4 thus, a sample of the refrigeration oil used for lubrication of a compressor of an air conditioner is used to cause the user to recognize an odor of the refrigeration oil in advance.
- the user can become aware of a leak of the refrigeration oil into the room.
- the user himself/herself can become aware of an odor of the refrigeration oil in the room in addition to the determination of a refrigerant leak using a concentration of the refrigerant by the air conditioning apparatus, leading to more improved safety of the air conditioning apparatus than when the user does not know an odor of the refrigeration oil.
- the user himself/herself can become aware of a refrigerant leak even when no electric power is supplied to the air conditioning apparatus. Further, manufacturing cost can be lower in Embodiments 3 and 4, which need no odor sensor, than in Embodiments 1 and 2.
- Embodiment 3 will describe an air conditioner including a sample containing unit for refrigeration oil in the indoor unit.
- Embodiment 4 will describe a packaging set for an air conditioner in which a sample container for refrigeration oil separate from the air conditioner is packed with the air conditioner.
- Fig. 8 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration of an air conditioner 300 according to Embodiment 3.
- the configuration of air conditioner 300 is a configuration obtained by replacing indoor unit 10 and controller 8 of air conditioner 100 of Fig. 1 respectively with an indoor unit 30 and a controller 38.
- the configuration of indoor unit 30 is a configuration obtained by removing odor sensor s2 from the configuration of indoor unit 10 and detachably attaching a sample container 31 (sample containing unit) as shown in Fig. 9 .
- Controller 38 determines a refrigerant leak using a concentration of the refrigerant upon receipt of a detection signal from refrigerant sensor s1 but does not determine a refrigerant leak using an odor of the refrigeration oil.
- detection level L1 of the concentration of refrigerant is greater than threshold A1, controller 38 performs the safety ensuring process.
- the other components are similar, description of which will not be repeated.
- Fig. 10 is a schematic external view of sample container 31 of Fig. 9 .
- sample container 31 includes a main body 311 made of resin and a cap 312 made of resin.
- Main body 311 contains a sponge Spg impregnated with a sample of the refrigeration oil which is used for lubrication of compressor 3 of Fig. 8 .
- cap 312 is attached to main body 311 ( Fig. 10(a) )
- the odor of the refrigeration oil is sealed within sample container 31 and can hardly leak out of sample container 31.
- Sample container 31 is attached to air conditioner 300 in the state shown in Fig. 10(a) .
- Sample container 31 can release an odor of a sample of the refrigeration oil to outside with cap 312 detached from main body 311 ( Fig. 10(b) ).
- the user detaches sample container 31 from air conditioner 300 and removes cap 312 from main body 311 as shown in Fig. 10(b) , and then checks an odor of the refrigeration oil.
- the air conditioner according to Embodiment 3 can have improved safety and be manufactured at a lower cost than in Embodiments 1 and 2.
- FIG. 11 shows how an indoor unit 40 is packed by a packaging set 400 for an air conditioner according to Embodiment 4.
- the appearance of indoor unit 40 is similar to that of indoor unit 10 shown in Fig. 2 .
- indoor unit 40 includes no odor sensor, similarly to indoor unit 30 shown in Fig. 8 .
- indoor unit 40 is covered with buffers 42 and 43 at its opposite ends and is contained in a packaging box 41. As packaging box 41 is slid in the longitudinal direction of indoor unit 40, packaging set 400 is unpacked.
- Fig. 12 shows packaging set 400 of Fig. 11 which is unpacked.
- indoor unit 40 has on its back surface a remote control Rm, and an instruction manual and sample container 31 for the refrigeration oil that are wrapped together.
- Sample container 31 is similar to that shown in Fig. 10 and contains a sponge impregnated with the refrigeration oil. The user can check an odor of the refrigeration oil with sample container 31.
- the packaging set for an air conditioner according to Embodiment 4 can provide improved safety to the air conditioner and also reduce a manufacturing cost of the air conditioning apparatus more than in Embodiments 1 and 2.
