OUTDOOR UNIT OF AIRCONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18143263 titled 'OUTDOOR UNIT OF AIRCONDITIONER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that includes a housing with a base forming the bottom surface. Inside the housing, there is a fan to cause air flow and a heat exchanger to perform heat exchange with the air. The base also has a heater and a drain plug with a drain hole for discharging water from inside the housing. Additionally, there is a heat conduction plate in contact with the heater and accommodated inside the drain plug to transfer heat generated by the heater to the inside of the drain plug.
- The outdoor unit of the air conditioner has a housing with a base forming the bottom surface.
- A fan is present inside the housing to cause air flow.
- A heat exchanger is inside the housing to perform heat exchange with the air.
- The base of the unit includes a heater.
- A drain plug is mounted on the base and forms a drain hole for discharging water from inside the housing.
- A heat conduction plate is in contact with the heater and accommodated inside the drain plug to transfer heat generated by the heater to the inside of the drain plug.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Air conditioning systems for outdoor spaces such as patios, gardens, or open-air venues.
- Cooling systems for outdoor events or gatherings.
- Climate control for outdoor structures like gazebos or pergolas.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient heat exchange between the air and the heat exchanger inside the housing.
- Effective drainage of water from inside the housing to prevent damage or malfunction.
- Heat transfer from the heater to the drain plug for improved performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved cooling performance in outdoor environments.
- Enhanced durability and protection against water damage.
- Efficient heat transfer for optimal energy usage.
Original Abstract Submitted
An outdoor unit of an air conditioner includes a housing including a base forming a bottom surface of the outdoor unit, a fan inside the housing to cause air to flow, a heat exchanger inside the housing to perform heat-exchange with the air caused to flow by the fan, a heater on the base, a drain plug mounted on, and penetrating, the base, and forming a drain hole through which water inside the housing is dischargeable to outside the housing, and a heat conduction plate in contact with the heater and accommodated inside the drain plug to transfer heat generated by the heater to the inside of the drain plug.
