Air conditioner, refrigerant filling method of air conditioner, method for judging refrigerant filling state of air conditioner as well as refrigerant filling and pipe cleaning method of air conditioner

摘要

An air conditioner is arranged so as to be able to accurately judge a refrigerant filling state within the air conditioner regardless of environmental and installation conditions. The air conditioner has a computing section 102 for computing a condenser liquid phase area ratio that is a value related to an amount of liquid phase portion of the refrigerant within a high pressure-side heat exchanger, based on refrigerant condensation temperature of the high pressure-side heat exchanger, outlet super-cooling degree of the high pressure-side heat exchanger, intake air temperature of the high pressure-side heat exchanger, a difference of enthalpy of inlet and outlet of the high pressure-side heat exchanger and specific heat at constant pressure of a refrigerant solution at the outlet of the high pressure-side heat exchanger and a judging section 106 for judging the refrigerant filling state within the air conditioner based on a comparison of the value computed by the computing section 102 with a predetermined value.
