A refrigerating cycle apparatus including an inverter driven compressor with controllable speed of rotation, a four-way valve, an indoor heat exchanger, a pressure reducing device, outdoor heat exchanger, a defrosting condition detector for detecting a frosting state of the outdoor heat exchanger in a heating operation, a defrosting operation controller for carrying out a defrosting operation based on a detection signal from the defrosting condition detector and having a minimum operable frequency controller for controlling a minimum operable frequency for the compressor on restarting after completion of the defrosting operation and/or a starting speed controller for controlling a starting speed for the compressor based on a detection signal from the defrosting condition detector on restarting after completion of the defrosting operation in order to provide proper lubrication after a defrost operation.

Refrigerating cycle apparatus

An air conditioner indoor unit comprising: a housing; an impeller arranged in the housing and forming a cross flow fan; a rear side plate arranged downstream the impeller and forming a rear side of a diffused air path; a front side plate forming a front side of the diffused air path and including a first air outlet surface, a second air outlet surface and a third air outlet surface; the first air outlet surface arranged near to the impeller and having a portion on a side of an air outlet of the diffused air path slanted in a direction away from a reference surface defined by the rear side plate; the second air outlet surface arranged next to the first air outlet surface on the side of the air outlet and having a portion on the side of the air outlet slanted in a direction away from the reference surface; and the third air outlet surface arranged next to the second air outlet surface on the side of the air outlet end and having a portion on the side of the air outlet slanted at 20.degree.-30.degree. in the direction away from the reference surface.

Air conditioner indoor unit

An operation controller for an air conditioner designed to decrease a difference between an ambient temperature and a set temperature by varying the number of revolutions of a compressor, includes: a means for calculating an operation ratio of the compressor; and a means for determining the range of varying an operation frequency of the compressor in accordance with the operation ratio.

Operation controller for air conditioner

An air conditioning system comprising: a refrigeration cycle including a compressor, a reversing valve, a condenser, a pressure reducing device and an evaporator; a thermal storage heat exchanger which is arranged at a lower portion in a thermal storage tank with a thermal storage material filled therein, and whose refrigerant inlet side is smaller than its refrigerant outlet side in terms of heat exchange capability; and a thermal absorption heat exchanger which is arranged at an upper portion in the thermal storage tank in a way to be reverse to the flow direction of a refrigerant in the thermal storage heat exchanger.

Air conditioning system

There are provided a plurality of groups 14 and 34 which are arranged in an outlet of a main body, and which comprise blowing direction deflecting plates 1, 2 and 3, and 21, 22 and 23; rotational angle setting means 41a and 41b which are provided for the respective groups 14 and 34, and which set rotation angles of the groups 14 and 34; rotational angle limit detection means 42a and 42b for comparing preset limiting rotation angles of the groups 14 and 34 to the set rotation angles; and rotational direction reversing means 43 for reversing the rotational directions of the groups 14 and 34 when at least one of the groups 14 and 34 has reached the limiting rotation angle. Blowing direction of conditioned air can be adjusted while constantly keeping an arbitrary phase difference in blowing direction between the groups.

Blowing direction control device for an air conditioner

An air conditioning system comprising a refrigerant circuit. A thermal storage device is arranged in the refrigerant circuit and can store heat and utilize the stored heat to increase heating capacity at the time of kickoff of heating. A temperature detector detects a temperature at a thermal storage portion of a thermal storage and radiating heat exchanger which is housed in the thermal storage device. A counter counts a thermal storage operation period required for the temperature detected at the thermal storage portion to achieve a predetermined value, outputs a signal indicative of stopping a thermal storage operation when the detected temperature has achieved the predetermined value, counts the lapse of a predetermined thermal storage operation stoppage period after stop of the thermal storage operation, and outputs a signal indicative of starting the thermal storage operation when a predetermined thermal storage operation stoppage time has passed. A controller controls comparing the counted thermal storage operation period with a present value, and determines the next thermal storage operation stoppage period, depending on the length of the counted thermal storage operation period.
