AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17944728 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an air conditioner system that consists of an outdoor unit with a compressor and outdoor heat exchanger, a first indoor unit with a first indoor heat exchanger, and a second indoor unit with a second indoor heat exchanger and an indoor expansion valve. The outdoor unit has two pipes - the first pipe allows refrigerant to pass through an outdoor expansion valve and flow to the first indoor unit, while the second pipe allows refrigerant to bypass the outdoor expansion valve and flow to the second indoor unit.
- The air conditioner system includes an outdoor unit with a compressor and outdoor heat exchanger.
- There are two indoor units - the first one with a first indoor heat exchanger and the second one with a second indoor heat exchanger and an indoor expansion valve.
- The outdoor unit has a first pipe with an outdoor expansion valve, allowing refrigerant to flow to the first indoor unit.
- The outdoor unit also has a second pipe that allows refrigerant to bypass the outdoor expansion valve and flow to the second indoor unit.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Residential air conditioning systems
- Commercial air conditioning systems
- Industrial air conditioning systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient cooling of multiple indoor spaces
- Individual temperature control for different indoor units
- Optimal refrigerant flow management
Benefits of this technology:
- Energy efficiency due to individual temperature control
- Improved comfort in different indoor spaces
- Flexibility in cooling different areas separately
Original Abstract Submitted
An air conditioner may include: an outdoor unit including a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger; a first indoor unit including a first indoor heat exchanger; and a second indoor unit including a second indoor heat exchanger and an indoor expansion valve, wherein the outdoor unit includes: a first outdoor pipe, an outdoor expansion valve provided in the first outdoor pipe, the first outdoor pipe allowing a refrigerant discharged from the outdoor heat exchanger to pass through the outdoor expansion valve and flow to the first indoor unit; and a second outdoor pipe allowing a refrigerant discharged from the outdoor heat exchanger to bypass the outdoor expansion valve and flow to the second indoor unit.
