AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240247824 titled 'AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS

The patent application describes an air-conditioning apparatus with various ports and passages to facilitate the flow of air within a housing.

  • The apparatus includes an outside air port, an air supply port, a return air port, and an exhaust port.
  • An outside air passage connects the outside air port and the air supply port, allowing for the intake of fresh air.
  • An exhaust air passage, separate from the outside air passage, links the return air port and the exhaust port for air circulation.
  • An indoor heat exchanger is positioned in the outside air passage to regulate air temperature.
  • An air-sending device generates airflow from the outside air port to the room through the air supply port and duct.
  • An air supply damper controls the airflow by opening during operation and closing when the device is not in use.

Potential Applications: - Residential air conditioning systems - Commercial HVAC systems - Industrial cooling units

Problems Solved: - Efficient air circulation - Temperature regulation - Energy conservation

Benefits: - Improved indoor air quality - Energy efficiency - Enhanced cooling performance

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Air-Conditioning Apparatus for Enhanced Cooling Efficiency This technology can be utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to provide efficient and effective air conditioning solutions.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the air supply damper contribute to the overall operation of the air-conditioning apparatus? 2. What are the key advantages of having separate air passages for intake and exhaust in this system?


Original Abstract Submitted

an air-conditioning apparatus includes a housing having an outside air port, an air supply port, a return air port, and an exhaust port. the air-conditioning apparatus also includes: an outside air passage to make the outside air port and the air supply port communicate with each other; an exhaust air passage formed in the housing in a separated manner from the outside air passage to make the return air port and the exhaust port communicate with each other; an indoor heat exchanger disposed in the outside air passage; the air-sending device disposed in the outside air passage, and configured to generate an air flow directed toward the room from the outside air port via the air supply port and the air supply duct during operation; and an air supply damper being open during the operation of the air-sending device and being closed during a stop of the air-sending device.
