METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244600 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF AIR CONDITIONER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an air conditioner with an outdoor unit that includes an outdoor heat exchanger and an injection device for injecting water into the outdoor unit. The injection device has a water tank, a nozzle for injecting water, a communication interface, a memory storing instructions, and a processor.

  • The injection device is able to obtain state information of the outdoor unit, such as condenser operating frequency or fan revolution per minute.
  • The processor controls the water injection operation of the nozzle based on the obtained state information of the outdoor unit.

Potential Applications:

  • Energy efficiency in air conditioning systems
  • Improved cooling performance in outdoor units

Problems Solved:

  • Optimizing water injection in outdoor units based on real-time data
  • Enhancing the overall efficiency of air conditioning systems

Benefits:

  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Improved cooling performance
  • Extended lifespan of air conditioning units


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is an air conditioner comprising an outdoor unit comprising an outdoor heat exchanger; and an injection device configured to inject water to the outdoor unit, the injection device including a water tank configured to store water; a nozzle configured to inject the water to the outdoor heat exchanger; a communication interface; a memory storing at least one instruction; and at least one processor configured to: obtain state information of the outdoor unit, wherein the obtained state information includes at least one of condenser operating frequency information or fan revolution per minute information of the outdoor unit, and control a water injection operation of the nozzle to inject water to the outdoor heat exchanger, in accordance with the at least one of the condenser operating frequency information or the fan revolution per minute (RPM) information of the outdoor unit included in the obtained state information.
