Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A recognition process for an air conditioner is executed while the deterioration of the environment due to stoppage of the air conditioner is suppressed. In an air-conditioning system in which a plurality of air conditioners belonging to an identical refrigerant system are connected through a communication line inside the identical system and a plurality of air conditioners belonging to different refrigerant systems are connected through a communication line outside the different systems, for the plurality of air conditioners belonging to the identical refrigerant system, a recognition process is executable while an air-conditioning control process is executed by transmission through at least the communication line inside the system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An air-conditioning system in which a plurality of air conditioners belonging to an identical refrigerant system are connected through a communication line inside the identical system and a plurality of air conditioners belonging to different refrigerant systems are connected through a communication line outside the different refrigerant systems, wherein for the plurality of air conditioners belonging to the identical refrigerant system, a recognition process is executable while a control process is executed by transmission through at least the communication line inside the identical system, wherein the recognition process is started when an unrecognized air conditioner transmits a start request, and during the recognition process, only an air conditioning control process for the identical refrigerant system is stopped while continuously maintaining the air conditioning control process for the plurality of air conditioners belonging to the different refrigerant systems, and wherein in the recognition process, the air conditioners belonging to the refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is not connected circulates the refrigerant by continuing the control process, and the air conditioners belonging to the identical refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is connected stops circulating refrigerant by stopping the control process. 2. An air-conditioning system in which a plurality of air conditioners belonging to an identical refrigerant system are connected through a communication line inside the identical system and a plurality of air conditioners belonging to different refrigerant systems are connected through a communication line outside the different refrigerant systems, wherein for the plurality of air conditioners belonging to the identical refrigerant system, a recognition process is executable while a control process is executed by transmission through at least the communication line inside the identical system, wherein in the recognition process, an unrecognized air conditioner holds an ID of the air conditioner, other than the unrecognized air conditioner, belonging to the refrigerant system identical to the refrigerant system of the unrecognized air conditioner, and during the recognition process, only an air conditioning control process for the identical refrigerant system is stopped while continuously maintaining the air conditioning control process for the plurality of air conditioners belonging to the different refrigerant systems, and wherein in the recognition process, the air conditioners belonging to the refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is not connected circulates the refrigerant by continuing the control process, and the air conditioners belonging to the identical refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is connected stops circulating refrigerant by stopping the control process. 3. An air conditioner in an air-conditioning system in which a plurality of air conditioners belonging to an identical refrigerant system are connected through a communication line inside the system and a plurality of air conditioners belonging to the different refrigerant systems are connected through a communication line outside the different refrigerant systems, wherein a recognition process is executable while a control process is executed by transmission through at least the communication line inside the identical system with another air conditioner belonging to the identical refrigerant system, wherein the recognition process is started when an unrecognized air conditioner transmits a start request, and during the recognition process, only an air conditioning control process for the identical refrigerant system is stopped while continuously maintaining the air conditioning control process for the plurality of air conditioners belonging to the different refrigerant systems, and wherein in the recognition process, the air conditioners belonging to the refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is not connected circulates the refrigerant by continuing the control process, and the air conditioners belonging to the identical refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is connected stops circulating refrigerant by stopping the control process. 4. An air conditioner in an air-conditioning system in which a plurality of air conditioners belonging to an identical refrigerant system are connected through a communication line inside the identical system and a plurality of air conditioners belonging to different refrigerant systems are connected through a communication line outside the different refrigerant systems, wherein a recognition process is executable while a control process is executed by transmission through at least the communication line inside the identical system with another air conditioner belonging to the identical refrigerant system, wherein in the recognition process, an unrecognized air conditioner holds an ID of the air conditioner, other than the unrecognized air conditioner, belonging to the refrigerant system identical to the refrigerant system of the unrecognized air conditioner, and during the recognition process, only an air conditioning control for the identical refrigerant system is stopped while continuously maintaining the air conditioning control process for the plurality of air conditioners belonging to the different refrigerant systems, and wherein in the recognition process, the air conditioners belonging to the refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is not connected circulates the identical refrigerant by continuing the control process, and the air conditioners belonging to the refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is connected stops circulating refrigerant by stopping the control process. 5. A method for recognizing an air conditioner in an air-conditioning system in which a plurality of air conditioners belonging to an identical refrigerant system are connected through a communication line inside the identical system and a plurality of air conditioners belonging to different refrigerant systems are connected through a communication line outside the different refrigerant systems, the method comprising, for the plurality of air conditioners belonging to the identical refrigerant system, executing a recognition process while executing a control process by transmission through at least the communication line inside the identical system, wherein in the recognition process, an unrecognized air conditioner transmits a start request, and during the recognition process, only an air conditioning control process for the identical refrigerant system is stopped while continuously maintaining the air conditioning control process for the plurality of air conditioners belonging to the different refrigerant systems, and wherein in the recognition process, the air conditioners belonging to the refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is not connected circulates the refrigerant by continuing the control process, and the air conditioners belonging to the identical refrigerant system to which the unrecognized air conditioner is connected stops circulating refrigerant by stopping the control process. 6. A method for recognizing an air conditioner in an air-conditioning system in which a plurality of air conditioners belonging to an identical refrigerant system are connected through a communication line inside the identical system and a plurality of air conditioners belonging to different refrigerant systems are connected through a communication line outside the different refrigerant systems, the method comprising, for the plurality of air conditioners
