There is provided a controlling apparatus for an air conditioner, which comprises: an inverter circuit for feeding as an output a pseudo-sine wave from a switching signal obtained by comparison between a modulated wave and a carrier wave; a refrigeration cycle device which has a compressor driven by the pseudo-sine wave from the inverter circuit so that the modulated wave is adjusted according to a load of an air conditioner; and a correction device for correcting an amplitude of the modulated wave into a smaller one at a predetermined time when a rated voltage of the power source from the inverter circuit is larger than a rated voltage by a first predetermined value, and correcting the modulated wave into a larger one at a predetermined time when a rated voltage of the power source from the inverter circuit is smaller than the rated voltage by a second predetermined value. The predetermined time is elongated as the difference between the aforementioned power source voltage and the rated voltage becomes larger, so that shutdown of the compressor is restricted at the voltage variation of the power source.

Apparatus for controlling an air conditioner

Controller of air conditioner

An air conditioner which has a controller equipped with heat-producing electrical parts and in which the driving current of a compressor, etc., is controlled by the controller, includes a temperature sensor which is provided to or in the vicinity of at least one heat-sensitive electrical part (for example, a power transistor) of the electrical parts and adapted to detect the temperature of a heat-sensitive electrical part, and means for stepwise or linearly reducing the upper-limit value of the driving current of the compressor in accordance with the increase of the detected temperature when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is higher than a predetermined value.

Air conditioner

This invention aims to facilitate setting and modifications of characteristic data for microcomputers used for control of various types of air conditioner. A control device for the air conditioner comprises a microcomputer having a first ROM for storing a program for controlling operations of a compressor and a blower, a RAM for storing present data and various data associated with the operations and a CPU for executing the program. A second ROM is provided in the control device for storing specific data representing capacity of the components such as compressors and a blower, functions of the air conditioner, exclusive cooling or cooling/heating and so on.
