AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18380291 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an air conditioner with adjustable variable valves controlled by a controller for optimal refrigerant flow.
- The air conditioner includes a compressor, outdoor heat exchanger, expansion valves, indoor heat exchangers, connection pipes, and variable valves.
- The controller adjusts the opening degree of the variable valves to regulate the flow of refrigerant.
- The adjustable variable valves help optimize the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in residential, commercial, and industrial air conditioning systems to improve energy efficiency and performance.
Problems Solved
1. Inefficient cooling due to fixed valve settings. 2. Lack of control over refrigerant flow in different parts of the system.
Benefits
1. Energy savings. 2. Improved cooling performance. 3. Customizable settings for different cooling needs.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Refrigerant Flow in Air Conditioning Systems for Energy Efficiency"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to adjustable valves in refrigeration systems, but specific information is not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the controller determine the optimal opening degree for each variable valve?
The abstract does not specify the method used by the controller to adjust the variable valves.
Are there any safety features in place to prevent malfunctions or leaks in the system?
The abstract does not mention any safety mechanisms incorporated into the air conditioning system to prevent potential issues.
Original Abstract Submitted
An air conditioner may include a controller; a compressor that compresses a refrigerant; an outdoor heat exchanger through which the refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows; a plurality of expansion valves that expands the refrigerant passed through the outdoor heat exchanger; a plurality of indoor heat exchangers through which the refrigerant passed through the plurality of expansion valves flows; a plurality of connection pipes that connects the plurality of indoor heat exchangers and the compressor; and a plurality of variable valves installed in the plurality of connection pipes. An opening degree of each of the plurality of variable valves may be adjustable via the controller.
