Control device and control method

Abstract

A selection unit selects, from among a plurality of indoor units to each of which an air-conditioned space to be air-conditioned is assigned, an indoor unit to represent the plurality of indoor units, as a representative indoor unit, based on a required air-conditioning capacity being an air conditioning capacity required for each indoor unit. A setting unit sets a target temperature of either an evaporating temperature or a condensing temperature which enables an air conditioning capacity of the representative indoor unit to conform to the required air-conditioning capacity of the representative indoor unit, using a learning model obtained by machine learning. A calculation unit calculates, for each indoor unit of the plurality of indoor units other than the representative indoor unit, either a superheat degree or a supercooling degree at which an air conditioning capacity of each indoor unit conforms to the required air-conditioning capacity of the each indoor unit when either an evaporating temperature or a condensing temperature in each indoor unit is made to conform to the target temperature.
