An air conditioning system including a refrigerant circulation route, a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator and a pressure sensor for detecting pressure in the circulation route comprises a refrigerant phase detector provided on the circulation route between the condenser and the evaporator where the refrigerant should be in a liquid phase for detecting whether the refrigerant is in a liquid phase or in a vapor phase and a control for determining whether the compressor is in a locked state in accordance with the signals from the refrigerant phase detector and the pressure sensor. The air conditioning system can precisely determine and detect both compressor lock up and refrigerant leakage without providing a rotation detecting sensor for the compressor.
An air conditioning system including a circulation route for circulating a refrigerant, a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator disposed on said circulation route, and a pressure sensor for detecting a pressure in said circulation route, said air conditioning system comprising:
