AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240133573 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 switching from a cooling operation mode.
- The apparatus selects a dehumidifying operation mode by comparing the sensible heat ratio difference between the target sensible heat ratio and the theoretical minimum possible sensible heat ratio.
- The sensible heat ratio difference is calculated using the indoor temperature, target indoor temperature, target indoor humidity, enthalpy of indoor air, enthalpy of blown air from the indoor unit at 100% relative humidity, and enthalpy of sensible heat.

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 �shf 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.
