AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520720 titled 'AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an air-conditioning apparatus that includes an irradiation device with an LED emitting ultraviolet rays, and a heat-dissipating unit to dissipate heat into the air.

  • LED configured to emit ultraviolet rays
  • Heat-dissipating unit to dissipate heat into the air

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in various settings such as residential, commercial, or industrial air-conditioning systems to improve air quality by reducing bacteria and other harmful microorganisms.

Problems Solved

1. Eliminates harmful microorganisms in the air 2. Improves air quality by reducing bacteria

Benefits

1. Enhanced air quality 2. Increased efficiency of air-conditioning systems 3. Reduction in the spread of illnesses

Potential Commercial Applications

"UV LED Air-Conditioning Apparatus for Improved Air Quality"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing UV air purifiers that use UV-C light to kill bacteria and viruses in the air. However, the combination of an LED emitting ultraviolet rays with a heat-dissipating unit in an air-conditioning apparatus may be a novel approach.

Unanswered Questions

How does the LED technology impact energy consumption in the air-conditioning system?

The article does not provide information on the energy efficiency of the LED technology and its impact on overall energy consumption.

Are there any safety concerns associated with using ultraviolet rays in an air-conditioning system?

The potential health risks or safety precautions related to the use of ultraviolet rays in an air-conditioning system are not addressed in the article.


Original Abstract Submitted

An air-conditioning apparatus includes an irradiation device including an LED configured to emit an ultraviolet ray; and includes a heat-dissipating unit configured to dissipate heat of the irradiation device into air.
