(54) Checking Air Conditioning System Installation


(57) A multi air conditioning system and a method for inspecting pipe connection thereof, in which the pipe connection is rapidly inspected and the reliability in inspecting the pipe connection is improved. The method for inspecting the multi air conditioning system, which includes a plurality of indoor units and a mode converter having a plurality of heating valve-cooling valve sets for controlling refrigerant flowing into the indoor units, includes: changing opened and closed states of one heating valve-cooling valve set out of the plural heating valve-cooling valve sets during the operation of the system; detecting the indoor unit having a heat exchanger, the temperature of which varies corresponding to the change of the opened and closed states of the heating valve-cooling valve set; and determining, when the indoor unit having the heat exchanger, the temperature of which varies, matches with the heating valve-cooling valve set having the changed opened and closed states thereof, that the connection between the indoor unit having the heat exchanger, the temperature of which varies, and the heating valve-cooling valve set, having the changed the opened and closed states thereof, is normal.
