A control unit (19) that controls the operation of a refrigerant circuit (10) executes pump down operation in which a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture is collected into a portion of the refrigerant circuit (10) within an outdoor unit (2), executes compositional ratio determination in which the compositional ratio of the non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture is determined based on the pressure and temperature of the non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture collected into the outdoor unit (2) by the pump down operation, and generates an alert when the compositional ratio of the non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture determined by the compositional ratio determination is outside an acceptable proportion range of a hydrofluorocarbon having the property of undergoing a disproportionation reaction.
An air conditioner comprising a refrigerant circuit including an outdoor unit and an indoor unit that are connected together and a controller that controls operation of the refrigerant circuit, and a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture containing a hydrofluorocarbon having a property of undergoing a disproportionation reaction being sealed in the refrigerant circuit;
