AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18380267 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER
Simplified Explanation
An air conditioner system with multiple indoor heat exchangers
- Controller, compressor, outdoor heat exchanger, multiple indoor heat exchangers
- Switching valve directs refrigerant to outdoor or indoor heat exchangers
- High pressure pipes connect switching valve to indoor heat exchangers
- High pressure valves in high pressure pipes
- Low pressure pipes connect compressor inlet to high pressure pipes
- Low pressure valves in low pressure pipes
- Indoor pipes connect to indoor heat exchangers
- Indoor expansion valves in indoor pipes
- Liquid pipe connects outdoor heat exchanger to indoor pipes
- Outdoor expansion valve in liquid pipe
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in residential, commercial, and industrial air conditioning systems.
Problems Solved
Efficient cooling of multiple indoor spaces with a single air conditioner system.
Benefits
Improved energy efficiency, cost savings, and better temperature control in various indoor environments.
Potential Commercial Applications

Original Abstract Submitted
An air conditioner may include a controller; a compressor; an outdoor heat exchanger; a plurality of indoor heat exchangers; a switching valve that selectively guides a refrigerant discharged from the compressor to the outdoor heat exchanger or the plurality of indoor heat exchangers; high pressure pipes that connect the switching valve and the plurality of indoor heat exchangers; high pressure valves installed in the high pressure pipes; low pressure pipes that connect an inlet of the compressor and the high pressure pipes. low pressure valves installed in the low pressure pipes; indoor pipes, which are opposite to the high pressure pipes with respect to the plurality of indoor heat exchangers and connected to the plurality of indoor heat exchangers; indoor expansion valves installed in the indoor pipes; a liquid pipe that connects the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor pipes; and an outdoor expansion valve installed in the liquid pipe.
