AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18746597 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER

The abstract describes an air conditioner with a unique design to improve airflow and ease of installation, while efficiently collecting condensate water to prevent leakage.

• Drain extraction unit and refrigerant pipe are placed in a blocking region without a discharge port for uniform airflow.
• Components inside the indoor unit are placed in a protrusion portion for easier installation.
• Condensate water collecting space is provided outside the housing in a drain tray to prevent leakage.
• The housing, drain tray, and cover member are coupled by a coupling member outside for secure assembly.

Potential Applications: - Residential air conditioning units - Commercial air conditioning systems - HVAC systems in various buildings

Problems Solved: - Uneven airflow distribution in rooms - Difficulties in installing air conditioners - Leakage issues due to condensate water

Benefits: - Improved airflow distribution - Simplified installation process - Enhanced condensate water management

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Air Conditioner Design for Improved Airflow and Installation This technology can be used in residential and commercial air conditioning systems, offering better airflow distribution and easier installation processes, potentially appealing to HVAC companies and building contractors.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the unique design of this air conditioner improve airflow distribution? - The design places components strategically to ensure uniform airflow in a room. 2. What are the benefits of efficiently collecting condensate water outside the housing? - Efficient condensate water management prevents leakage issues and improves the overall performance of the air conditioner.

Original Abstract Submitted

In an air conditioner, a drain extraction unit and a refrigerant pipe connecting unit may be disposed in a blocking region in which a discharge port is not provided so that a size of the discharge port may be secured and the discharge port may be uniformly disposed, thereby generating uniform airflow in a room. In a lower housing formed in a circular shape, some of components inside an indoor unit of the air conditioner may be disposed in a protrusion portion that protrudes from the circular housing, thereby facilitating the installation of the air conditioner. A condensate water collecting space disposed outside the housing may be provided in a drain tray, thereby efficiently preventing a leakage due to condensate water generated outside the housing. The housing, the drain tray, and the cover member of the air conditioner may be coupled by a coupling member coupled outside.
