AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240133602 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an air conditioner system with various components such as a controller, compressor, outdoor heat exchanger, indoor heat exchangers, switching valve, high pressure pipes, high pressure valves, low pressure pipes, low pressure valves, indoor pipes, indoor expansion valves, liquid pipe, and outdoor expansion valve.
- The air conditioner system includes a controller for managing the operation of the components.
- A compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant.
- The switching valve directs the refrigerant to either the outdoor heat exchanger or the indoor heat exchangers.
- High pressure pipes connect the switching valve to the indoor heat exchangers, with high pressure valves installed in them.
- Low pressure pipes connect the compressor inlet to the high pressure pipes, with low pressure valves installed in them.
- Indoor pipes are connected to the indoor heat exchangers and have indoor expansion valves installed in them.
- A liquid pipe connects the outdoor heat exchanger to the indoor pipes, with an outdoor expansion valve installed in it.
