AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS

摘要

The air-conditioning apparatus includes a coolant circuit configured by sequentially connecting a compressor, an indoor heat exchanger, an expansion valve, and an outdoor heat exchanger; a motor that operates a compressor mechanism disposed inside the compressor; an inverter for driving the motor; and a control unit that controls the inverter. The control unit includes a liquefaction detecting unit that detects coolant liquefaction in the compressor; includes a first PWM signal generating unit that generates an inverter control signal for driving the motor; includes a second PWM signal generating unit that generates an inverter control signal for making the motor perform a preheating operation; and includes a switching unit that performs switching in such a way that the first PWM signal generating unit or the second PWM signal generating unit outputs the corresponding inverter control signal to the inverter.
