Abstract
A driving control method for a central air conditioner having at least two compressors of a small capacity and a large capacity, respectively, includes, upon a user's selecting a cooling mode between a weak cooling mode or a strong cooling mode, judging a load size in the selected cooling mode, and differently driving the compressors based on the judged load size. A load corresponding ability is enhanced thus to reduce power consumption, thereby increasing an energy efficiency and making the user feel comfortable.
Claims14
A driving control method for a central air conditioner having at least two compressors of a small capacity and a large capacity, respectively, the method comprising:
- upon a user's selecting a cooling mode among a weak cooling mode or a strong cooling mode, judging a load size in the selected cooling mode;
- and
- differently driving the respective compressors based on the thusly judged load size.
A driving control method for a central air conditioner having at least two compressors of a small capacity and a large capacity, respectively, the method comprising:
- lo upon a user's selecting a cooling mode among a weak cooling mode and a strong cooling mode, judging a load size in the selected cooling mode;
- and
- driving the compressors based on the judged load size, wherein if the load is judged a high load, the compressors are repeatedly driven N times in a middle driving mode and if the load is judged a low load, the compressors are driven once in the middle driving mode at the time of converting from a maximum driving mode of simultaneously driving both the compressor of a small capacity and the compressor of a large capacity into the middle driving mode for driving only the compressor of a large capacity or at the time of converting from the middle driving mode into a minimum driving mode for driving only the compressor of a small capacity.
