INDOOR UNIT AND AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240240803 titled 'INDOOR UNIT AND AIR CONDITIONER
The abstract describes an indoor unit with a unique connection pipe design for refrigerant flow.
- The connection pipe consists of two refrigerant pipes made of different metals, with one being higher in potential than the other.
- The first refrigerant pipe has a vertical straight section, a bent section, and a horizontal straight section.
- A covering member adheres to and covers the first refrigerant pipe from one end of the horizontal straight section to the bent section.
Potential Applications: - Air conditioning systems - Refrigeration units - Heat pump systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient refrigerant flow - Corrosion resistance - Improved durability
Benefits: - Enhanced performance - Extended lifespan - Reduced maintenance needs
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Indoor Unit Connection Pipe Design for HVAC Systems This technology can be used in various HVAC systems, offering improved efficiency and longevity, which can be attractive to manufacturers and consumers alike.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of different metals in the connection pipe improve the performance of the indoor unit? 2. What are the specific advantages of the unique design of the first refrigerant pipe in the connection pipe?
Original Abstract Submitted
an indoor unit includes a heat exchanger and a connection pipe, connected to the heat exchanger, through which a refrigerant flows. the connection pipe includes a first refrigerant pipe made of a first metal and a second refrigerant pipe made of a second metal higher in potential than the first metal. one end of the first refrigerant pipe is connected to the heat exchanger, and the other end of the first refrigerant pipe is connected to one end of the second refrigerant pipe. the first refrigerant pipe includes a vertical straight section, a bent section that is continuous with to a one end of the vertical straight section, and a horizontal straight section that is continuous with one end of the bent section. a covering member adheres to and covers the first refrigerant pipe from one end of the horizontal straight section to the bent section.
