Refrigeration cycle apparatus

Abstract

A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes: a refrigerant circuit which includes a compressor; a communication device that receives control information from a cloud server; and a controller having a storage unit for storing the control information received by the communication device. The controller controls the compressor, using the control information stored in the storage unit. As the communication device starts receiving, from a cloud server, updated control information that is newer than the control information before the update stored in the storage unit, the controller continues a pre-update control of causing the compressor to operate, using the already-received control information before the update, without forcibly stopping the operation of the compressor, until writing of the updated control information to the storage unit is completed.

1 . A refrigeration cycle apparatus, comprising:
 a refrigerant circuit which includes a compressor;   a communication device configured to receive control information from a server;   a storage device configured to store the control information received by the communication device; and   a controller configured to control the compressor, using the control information stored in the storage device, wherein   when the communication device starts receiving second control information newer than first control information stored in the storage device, the controller is configured to continue to perform a first control of causing the compressor to operate using the first control information, until writing of the second control information to the storage device is completed,   the controller is configured to:
 determine whether or not the compressor is caused to stop operation by the user's operation for the first time after the writing of the second control information to the storage device is completed; 
 continue to perform the first control, until it is determined that the compressor is caused to stop operation by the user's operation for the first time after the writing of the second control information to the storage device is completed; and 
 when it is determined that the compressor is caused to stop the operation by the user's operation for the first time after the writing of the second control information to the storage device is completed, perform a second control of causing the compressor to operate using the second control information, instead of performing the first control. 
   
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The refrigeration cycle apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to delete the first control information from the storage device after the compressor is caused to operate by the second control for the first time.   
     
     
         4 . The refrigeration cycle apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the storage device has:   a first storage unit configured to store the first control information; and   a second storage unit to which the second control information is written.
