AIR CONDITIONER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240191899 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
The patent application describes an air conditioner with a filter assembly that includes a first filter and a second filter in the air flow path. A differential pressure sensor detects pressure difference between the front and rear surfaces of the second filter. A processor stores and analyzes the differential pressure values to determine the degree of contamination of the filters.
- The air conditioner includes a filter assembly with two filters in the air flow path.
- A differential pressure sensor detects pressure difference across the second filter.
- A processor stores and analyzes the pressure values to determine filter contamination levels.
- The processor can identify the degree of contamination of the second filter based on pressure values.
- It can also determine the rate of change of pressure values over time to assess filter condition.
- The processor identifies the degree of contamination of the first filter based on the rate of change of pressure values.
Potential Applications: - HVAC systems - Industrial air filtration systems - Clean room environments
Problems Solved: - Efficient monitoring of filter contamination levels - Timely replacement of filters - Improved air quality and system performance
Benefits: - Extended filter life - Energy savings - Reduced maintenance costs
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Air Conditioner with Filter Contamination Detection" This technology can be used in commercial buildings, hospitals, data centers, and manufacturing facilities to ensure optimal air quality and system efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the differential pressure sensor work in detecting filter contamination? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology in air conditioning systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
an air conditioner includes: a filter assembly including a first filter and a second filter sequentially disposed in an air flow path; a differential pressure sensor configured to detect a differential pressure value corresponding to a pressure difference between a front surface and a rear surface of the second filter; a memory; and a processor configured to store, in the memory, differential pressure values detected by the differential pressure sensor, wherein the processor may be further configured to: identify a degree of contamination of the second filter based on a magnitude of the differential pressure values, determine a rate of change of the differential pressure values stored in the memory over time, and identify a degree of contamination of the first filter based on the rate of change.
