AIR CONDITIONER
20200158352 · 2020-05-21 ·

The amount of refrigerant to be charged in a refrigerant circuit of an air conditioner is set to a range defined by a lower-limit charge amount and an upper-limit charge amount. The lower-limit charge amount is a charge amount with which a refrigerant supercooling degree is 0 deg and a refrigerant quality is 0 at a refrigerant outlet side of a supercooling heat exchanger when a cooling operation is performed under an overload condition in which the refrigerant is hardly condensed in an outdoor heat exchanger that functions as a condenser. On the other hand, the upper-limit charge amount is a charge amount with which a refrigerant supercooling degree is 0 deg and a refrigerant quality is 0 at a refrigerant outlet side of the outdoor heat exchanger when the cooling operation is performed under a rated condition.
