Temperature distribution display device and method

A temperature distribution display device for color-coded display of, using plural preset display colors to make color-based distinctions, a temperature distribution represented by a heat image obtained by capturing an air-conditioned space, a room temperature of which is automatically controlled at a set temperature by an air-conditioning system, the device comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• calculate, based on operation capability data regarding an operation capability of the air-conditioning system, a temperature range extending from a lowest temperature of air that can be supplied from the air-conditioning system to the air-conditioned space, to a highest temperature of air that can be supplied from the air-conditioning system to the air-conditioned space, as the target temperature range to be displayed in a color-coded manner, within a range of possible framework temperatures of a framework constituting interior planes of the air-conditioned space, and
• assign the plural preset display colors respectively to individual temperatures included in the target temperature range;
• and
• a temperature distribution display configured to display the temperature distribution in the color-coded manner based on the display colors assigned by the processing circuitry.

A temperature distribution display method for color-coded display of, using plural preset display colors to make color-based distinctions, a temperature distribution represented by a heat image obtained by capturing an air-conditioned space, a room temperature of which is automatically controlled at a set temperature by an air-conditioning system, the method comprising:

• calculating, based on operation capability data regarding an operation capability of the air-conditioning system, a temperature range extending from a maximum heating start framework temperature, at which the air-conditioning system starts a heating operation at maximum power autonomously, to a maximum cooling start framework temperature, at which the air-conditioning system starts a cooling operation at maximum power autonomously, as a target temperature range to be displayed in a color-coded manner, within a range of possible framework temperatures of a framework constituting interior planes of the air-conditioned space;
• assigning the plural preset display colors respectively to individual temperatures included in the target temperature range;
• and
• displaying the temperature distribution in a color-coded manner based on the assigned display colors.
