REFRIGERANT SYSTEM DETECTION METHOD, REFRIGERANT SYSTEM DETECTION SYSTEM AND STORAGE COMPONENT WITH REFRIGERANT SYSTEM DETECTION PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A refrigerant system detection method for detecting refrigerant systems in an air conditioning system including a plurality of indoor units having physical quantity sensors respectively and a plurality of outdoor units connected to the plurality of indoor units respectively, the refrigerant system detection method comprising:
- a drive step putting the plural outdoor units into a driven state after a start-up time required for start-up;
an operation inhibition step inhibiting operation by stopping or weakening output of the outdoor units one unit at a time after the drive step; and
a recording step correlating and recordingthe outdoor units on which operation has been inhibited andthe indoor units in which detection values of the physical quantity sensors have changed as a result of operation of the outdoor units being inhibited.

Abstract
A refrigerant system detection method for detecting refrigerant systems in an air conditioning system includes a drive step, an operation inhibition step and a recording step. The air conditioning system includes a plurality of indoor units having temperature sensors respectively connected to a plurality of outdoor units. The drive step puts the plurality of outdoor units into a driven state after a start-up time. The operation inhibition step stops or weakens the outdoor units one unit at a time after the drive step. The recording step correlates and records the outdoor units in which operation has been inhibited and the indoor units in which detection values of the temperature sensors have changed as a result of the outdoor units being inhibited. A refrigerant system detection system includes the connected indoor and outdoor units and a management component configured to perform the method. A storage component includes a program to perform the method.
