The present invention relates to an air conditioner and a method of controlling the same, wherein a plurality of indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit and the heating and cooling operations can be simultaneously performed in the indoor unit.
Conventional multi-air conditioners typically perform air conditioning operation on an indoor space by connecting a plurality of indoor units to one outdoor unit. The outdoor unit is equipped with a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger and an outdoor electric expansion valve, and the indoor unit is provided with an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor electric expansion valve.
Residents of indoor spaces in which indoor units are installed typically set desired air conditioning conditions individually.
Since the degree of sensation felt by the occupants may be different depending on the environment of the season or the indoor space, the operation mode applied to the entire indoor unit may be simultaneously performed without cooling or heating.
When performing cooling and heating at the same time, there are more air conditioning heating and cooling units in the indoor unit of the cooling operation and more air heating units in the heating unit.
In the case of simultaneous operation of cooling and heating, the discharged refrigerant of the compressor branches and is sent to the indoor unit corresponding to the cooling or heating operation. That is, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor of the outdoor unit is sent to the outdoor heat exchanger side acting as a condenser, and a part of the discharged refrigerant is sent to the indoor heat exchanger side of the indoor unit requiring heating operation without passing through the outdoor heat exchanger.
The operating load in an indoor unit for cooling or heating operation changes frequently. For this reason, even if the operation number of the indoor unit for heating operation is relatively small compared to the operation number of the indoor unit for cooling operation, the operating load of the indoor unit for heating operation may be much larger than the operation load of the indoor unit for cooling operation.
However, since the conventional air conditioner controls the discharge refrigerant based only on the number of operations of the indoor unit, it is difficult to accurately adjust the amount of refrigerant to accurately reflect the operating load of the indoor unit.
Since the conventional air conditioner has not properly adjusted the amount of refrigerant branching in response to the operating load of the indoor unit, the refrigerant supplied to the indoor unit of the heating operation may be insufficient while the refrigerant supplied to the indoor unit of the heating operation may be insufficient. Both the heating performance of the indoor unit to operate and the cooling performance of the indoor unit to operate are deteriorated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner and a control method thereof in which the amount of refrigerant flowing from an compressor to an indoor unit can be properly adjusted in consideration of the operating load of the indoor unit in simultaneous heating and cooling operations.

It includes an outdoor control unit.
The outdoor control unit sets the opening degree of the outdoor electric expansion valve to satisfy both the performance of the indoor unit for cooling operation and the performance of the entire operation indoor unit including the cooling operation and the heating operation when the cooling subjects simultaneously operate the heating and cooling.
The indoor unit further includes an indoor temperature sensor, and the indoor control unit calculates an operating load according to a difference between an indoor temperature and a set temperature of the indoor unit.
The outdoor control unit compares the total heating operation load of the indoor unit for heating operation with the total cooling operation load of the indoor unit for cooling operation and sets the opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve according to the comparison result.
