Abstract
An air conditioning system includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected to the outdoor unit through an air conditioning communication line. The outdoor unit includes: a control unit; a compressor; a fan; a compressor inverter; a fan inverter; a heat exchanger; and valves of various types. The control unit of the outdoor unit has a coupling capacitor and a noise-cutting transformer which are between a communication circuit and the air conditioning communication line.
Claims3
An air conditioning system, comprising:
- an outdoor unit including an inverter circuit;
- a plurality of indoor units connected to the outdoor unit in a communicable manner;
- and
- communication circuits provided in the outdoor unit and the plurality of indoor units, respectively, for communication between the outdoor unit and the plurality of indoor units, wherein
- the outdoor unit and the plurality of indoor units communicate to each other with a multi-carrier transmission using a communication signal including a plurality of carrier frequencies simultaneously, and
- the communication circuit of each of the plurality of indoor units is configured to:
- include a flag that is set and cleared in correspondence with an influence of noise on the air conditioning system, the flag indicating whether to adjust a signal component in a frequency of the noise;
- when the flag is set, generate the communication signal to limit a signal within a predetermined frequency width within a frequency region of the communication signal based on a tone map that does not include information of a pre-set frequency component of the noise in the carrier frequencies simultaneously used for communication, and
- when the flag is cleared, generate the communication signal based on a tone map that includes all the information of the carrier frequencies simultaneously used for communication.
