Air conditioning system

Abstract

An air conditioning system includes a plurality of air conditioners; a server that is connected to each of the air conditioners via a communication network and that stores device information on each of the air conditioners; and a terminal that is connected to each of the air conditioners via the server. The server includes a classification unit that classifies the plurality of air conditioners into a plurality of groups based on the device information, and a notification unit that notifies the terminals of information related to a test run of each of the air conditioners that are classified into the groups. As a result, it is possible to reduce a work load of a maintenance worker in a distributed manner in an intermediate period by performing the test run of each of the air conditioners in a distributed manner.

1 . An air conditioning system comprising:
 a plurality of air conditioners;   a server that is connected to each of the air conditioners via a communication network and that stores device information on each of the air conditioners; and   a terminal that is connected to each of the air conditioners via the server, wherein   the server includes a processor configured to:
 classify the plurality of air conditioners into a plurality of groups based on the device information, and 
 notify the terminals of information related to a test run of each of the air conditioners that are classified into the groups. 
   
     
     
         2 . The air conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein the information related to the test run is information for requesting the terminals to perform the test run on each of the air conditioners. 
     
     
         3 . The air conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the device information includes installation region information for identifying regions in each of which the air conditioners have been installed, and   the processor classifies, based on the device information, the plurality of air conditioners into the groups for each of an installation region.   
     
     
         4 . The air conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the device information includes air conditioner count information for identifying a number of air conditioners that have been installed, and   the processor classifies, based on the device information, the plurality of air conditioners into the groups for each of a predetermined number of air conditioners.   
     
     
         5 . The air conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the device information includes device model information for identifying a device model of each of the air conditioners, and   the processor classifies, based on the device information, the plurality of air conditioners into the groups for each of the device models of the air conditioners.   
     
     
         6 . The air conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the terminal requests, via the communication network when the terminal has received the information related to the test run, the air conditioner associated with the terminal to perform the test run in response to a predetermined operation,   the air conditioner
 performs the test run in response to the request for a start of the test run, and 
 notifies, when the air conditioner has detected a result of the test run indicating that maintenance of the air conditioner is needed, the server of the result of the test run, and 
   the server notifies, when the server has received the result of the test run from the air conditioner, the terminal of a recommendation for the maintenance of the air conditioner.   
     
     
         7 . The air conditioning system according to  claim 6 , wherein, when the terminal has received the recommendation for the maintenance from the server, the terminal notifies the server of information related to a reservation for maintenance work on the air conditioner in response to a predetermined reservation operation. 
     
     
         8 . The air conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the terminal displays, when the terminal has received the information related to the test run, the information related to the test run,   the air conditioner
 requests a start of the test run in response to a predetermined operation, 
 performs the test run in response to the request for the start of the test run, and 
 notifies, when the air conditioner has detected a result of the test run indicating that maintenance of the air conditioner is needed, the server of the result of the test run, and 
   the server notifies, when the server has received the result of the test run from the air conditioner, the terminal of a recommendation for the maintenance of the air conditioner.   
     
     
         9 . The air conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the air conditioner
 includes a failure estimation model for estimating presence or absence of a failure by using operation state data on the air conditioner, and 
 notifies the server of the result of the test run when the air conditioner estimates a failure of the air conditioner by using the failure estimation model at the time of the test run of the air conditioner. 
   
     
     
         10 . The air conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the air conditioner
 includes a refrigerant estimation model for estimating an amount of refrigerant by using operation state data on the air conditioner, and 
 notifies the server of the result of the test run when the air conditioner estimates the amount of refrigerant in the air conditioner by using the refrigerant estimation model at the time of the test run of the air conditioner.
