Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3502593A1] In order to detect abnormalities such as slow refrigeration leaks at a relatively early stage, this composition abnormality detection unit (60) is provided with: multiple temperature sensors disposed from a refrigerant inlet to a refrigerant outlet of a condenser; a pressure sensor which detects the inlet-side pressure of the condenser; a reference value calculation unit (61) which uses the detected pressure value detected by the pressure sensor to calculate a reference value of the temperature gradient in the condenser; a temperature gradient calculation unit (62) which uses multiple detected temperature values detected by the temperature detection unit to calculate the temperature gradient; and an abnormality determination unit (63) which determines an abnormality if the difference between the temperature gradient calculated by the temperature gradient calculation unit (62) and the reference value of the temperature gradient calculated by the reference value calculation unit (61) is outside of a prescribed temperature range.
