Control scheme for automatic fan mode for use with variable refrigerant flow systems

An HVAC system includes a first indoor heat exchanger coupled to an outdoor heat exchanger and disposed in a first zone. A second indoor heat exchanger is coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger and disposed in a second zone. A compressor is coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger, the first indoor heat exchanger, and the second indoor heat exchanger. A first circulation fan is positioned to circulate air around the first indoor heat exchanger and a second circulation fan is positioned to circulate air around the second indoor heat exchanger. A zone controller is coupled to the first indoor heat exchanger and configured to measure a temperature in the first zone, compare the measured temperature to a setpoint temperature of the first zone, and responsive to a difference between the measured temperature and the setpoint temperature, adjust a speed of the first circulation fan independent the second circulation fan.

AIR CONDITIONING DEVICE

An air conditioning device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an outdoor unit including a plurality of outdoor heat exchangers and an outdoor fan that blows air to the plurality of outdoor heat exchangers; at least one indoor unit connected to the outdoor unit via a refrigerant pipe; and a control device that controls a rotation speed of the outdoor fan. The control device determines, when determining that the number of outdoor heat exchangers used is to be increased, the rotation speed of the outdoor fan such that a heat exchange amount of the outdoor heat exchanger after an increase in the number of outdoor heat exchangers used is equal to or lower than the heat exchange amount of the outdoor heat exchanger before the increase in the number of outdoor heat exchangers used.
