Abstract
A multi-room air conditioning system includes an outdoor unit and a plurality of indoor units connected in parallel to the outdoor unit. A compressor frequency and combustion control calculator reads a load level for each indoor unit from a load coefficient table using a differential temperature calculated by a differential temperature calculator and a rated capacity stored in a rated capacity memory. The compressor frequency and combustion control calculator then multiplies a sum of the load levels by a predetermined constant and adds a compensation value thereto to obtain a frequency value. This value is used to control the compressor. The compressor frequency and combustion control calculator also sets a target combustion level using the frequency value for control of a refrigerant heater mounted in the outdoor unit.
