Abstract

This paper is suggesting a new technology for refrigerant amount detection of a system air-conditioner installed under various installation conditions. System air-conditioner was introduced to domestic market first in 2000. It consists of one or a series of outdoor units and a number of indoor units connected with single pipe line to the outdoor unit. The system can vary the capacity from 2.0 kW to 186 kW. For the system Installed under long and high-elevated condition, about 100 kg of refrigerant is charged in the whole system. In this paper, the new technology RAD (Refrigerant Amount Detection) with edge technology of refrigerant cycle control and measurement of a system air conditioner was developed and investigated for its application for the various installation conditions.
