AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240230190 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER
The abstract describes a patent application for an air conditioner that includes a controller, a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, multiple indoor heat exchangers, a switching valve, high pressure pipes, high pressure valves, low pressure pipes, low pressure valves, indoor pipes, indoor expansion valves, a liquid pipe, and an outdoor expansion valve.
- The air conditioner has a switching valve that directs refrigerant from the compressor 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.
Potential Applications: - Residential air conditioning systems - Commercial HVAC systems - Industrial cooling applications
Problems Solved: - Efficient cooling distribution - Optimal refrigerant flow control - Enhanced system performance
Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency - Better temperature control - Reduced maintenance needs
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Air Conditioning Systems for Enhanced Cooling Efficiency" This technology can be used in various commercial applications such as office buildings, shopping malls, and data centers to provide efficient and reliable cooling solutions.
Questions about Air Conditioning Systems: 1. How does the switching valve in the air conditioner improve refrigerant flow control? The switching valve in the air conditioner directs the flow of refrigerant from the compressor to either the outdoor heat exchanger or the indoor heat exchangers, allowing for efficient cooling distribution based on the system's requirements.
2. What are the key benefits of using high pressure valves in the high pressure pipes of the air conditioner? High pressure valves in the high pressure pipes help regulate the flow of refrigerant to the indoor heat exchangers, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency in the air conditioning system.
Original Abstract Submitted
an air conditioner may include a controller; a compressor; an outdoor heat exchanger; a plurality of indoor heat exchangers; a switching valve that selectively guides a refrigerant discharged from the compressor to the outdoor heat exchanger or the plurality of indoor heat exchangers; high pressure pipes that connect the switching valve and the plurality of indoor heat exchangers; high pressure valves installed in the high pressure pipes; low pressure pipes that connect an inlet of the compressor and the high pressure pipes. low pressure valves installed in the low pressure pipes; indoor pipes, which are opposite to the high pressure pipes with respect to the plurality of indoor heat exchangers and connected to the plurality of indoor heat exchangers; indoor expansion valves installed in the indoor pipes; a liquid pipe that connects the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor pipes; and an outdoor expansion valve installed in the liquid pipe.
