Abstract
An air-conditioning system includes a heat-source device that includes a compressor and a heat-source-side heat exchanger, a relay device that includes a pump and an intermediate heat exchanger, and a plurality of indoor units that each include a load-side heat exchanger. The air-conditioning system includes a refrigerant circuit through which refrigerant circulates and a heat medium circuit through which a heat medium circulates. The air-conditioning system includes a flow rate detection unit configured to detect flow rate information associated with a flow rate of a heat medium that flows through each of the plurality of indoor units and a controller configured to control the compressor and the pump. The controller controls operation of at least either the compressor or the pump on the basis of the flow rate information detected by the flow rate detection unit.
