Abstract

By studying or storing refrigerating cycle characteristics of an air conditioning apparatus at the normal time and comparing them with refrigerating cycle characteristics acquired from the air conditioning apparatus at the time of operation, it becomes possible to exactly and accurately diagnose normality or abnormality of the air conditioning apparatus under any installation conditions and environmental conditions, which eliminates operations of inputting a difference between apparatus model names, a piping length, a height difference, etc at the time of apparatus installation. Accordingly, it aims at shortening the time of judging normality or abnormality, and improving the operability. It is characterized by calculating and comparing a measured value (a value of liquid phase temperature efficiency ε(SC/dT) calculated from temperature information) concerning an amount of a liquid phase part of the refrigerant in the high-pressure-side heat exchanger with a theoretical value (a value of liquid phase temperature efficiency ε(1−EXP(−NTU)) calculated from the transfer unit number NTUat refrigerant side).
