Abstract

A refrigerant circulating system using non-azeothropic mixture as refrigerant, which comprises: a main refrigerant circuit connected by a compressor, a fore-way valve, an outdoor heat-exchanger, a first throttling device, a plurality of indoor heat-exchangers, and a low-pressure receiver; a bypass circuit diverging from the discharge portion of the compressor, and extending through a composition detecting heat-exchanger and a second throttling device to a low-pressure portion; an outdoor fun attendant of the outdoor heat-exchanger; first temperature detector to detect a refrigerant temperature at the upstream of the second throttling device; second temperature detector to detect a refrigerant temperature at the downstream of the second throttling device; first pressure detector to detect a pressure at the downstream of the second throttling device; third temperature detector to detect temperature in the main circuit between the first throttling device and the indoor heat-exchanger; forth temperature detector to detect temperature at the low-pressure portion; second pressure detector to detect the pressure at the high-pressure portion; a composition calculating device for calculatin…
