AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18277583 titled 'AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an air-conditioning apparatus that selects a dehumidifying operation mode based on a sensible heat ratio difference when transitioning from a cooling operation mode. The apparatus uses various parameters to determine the most suitable dehumidifying operation mode.
- The air-conditioning apparatus selects a dehumidifying operation mode based on a sensible heat ratio difference.
- Parameters such as target sensible heat ratio, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and enthalpy are used to calculate the sensible heat ratio difference.
- The apparatus compares the calculated sensible heat ratio difference with a theoretical minimum possible sensible heat ratio to determine the optimal dehumidifying operation mode.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in residential, commercial, and industrial air conditioning systems to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort by selecting the most appropriate dehumidifying operation mode.
Problems Solved
1. Energy efficiency: By selecting the optimal dehumidifying operation mode, the air-conditioning apparatus can reduce energy consumption. 2. Indoor comfort: The apparatus ensures that the indoor environment maintains the desired temperature and humidity levels, enhancing comfort for occupants.
Benefits
1. Energy savings: By efficiently selecting the dehumidifying operation mode, the apparatus helps reduce energy costs. 2. Improved indoor air quality: Maintaining optimal humidity levels can prevent mold growth and improve overall indoor air quality. 3. Enhanced comfort: The technology ensures a comfortable indoor environment by regulating temperature and humidity levels effectively.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Dehumidifying Operation Modes in Air-Conditioning Systems for Energy Efficiency and Comfort"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to optimizing dehumidifying operation modes in air-conditioning systems based on sensible heat ratio differences. Further research is needed to identify any existing technologies or patents in this area.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus determine the target sensible heat ratio?
The abstract mentions a target sensible heat ratio, but it does not provide details on how this value is calculated or determined. Further information on this process would be beneficial for understanding the operation of the apparatus.
What is the impact of selecting the optimal dehumidifying operation mode on overall system performance?
While the abstract highlights the selection process for dehumidifying operation modes, it does not discuss the potential impact on the overall performance of the air-conditioning system. Understanding how this optimization affects system efficiency and effectiveness would be valuable for assessing the technology's benefits.
Original Abstract Submitted
An air-conditioning apparatus includes configured to, when a cooling operation mode is changed into one of multiple dehumidifying operation modes, select the one of the multiple dehumidifying operation modes on the basis of a value of a sensible heat ratio difference ΔSHF that is a difference between a target sensible heat ratio acquired from an indoor temperature detected by an indoor temperature sensor, a target indoor temperature, and target indoor humidity and a theoretical minimum possible sensible heat ratio acquired from enthalpy of an indoor air, enthalpy of blown air from the indoor unit when relative humidity is 100%, and enthalpy of sensible heat.
