AIR CONDITIONER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318855 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AIR CONDITIONER

The abstract describes an air conditioner and a method for controlling it, which includes a fan, a compressor, a temperature sensor, and at least one processor.

  • The processor is configured to turn on the compressor to cool air, discharge the cooled air outside by driving an indoor fan based on different airflow modes, correct the set temperature based on the selected airflow mode, and turn off the compressor when the corrected set temperature is reached.
  • The method optimizes the cooling process by adjusting the set temperature according to the airflow mode, ensuring efficient operation of the air conditioner.
  • By matching the corrected set temperature with the temperature sensed by the sensor, the compressor is turned off while maintaining the operation of the indoor fan, enhancing energy efficiency.
  • This innovation allows for precise temperature control and energy savings in air conditioning systems, improving overall performance and user comfort.
  • The method provides a more intelligent and adaptive way of cooling spaces, offering a more customized and efficient cooling experience for users.

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

Problems Solved: - Energy inefficiency in traditional air conditioning systems - Lack of precise temperature control in cooling processes

Benefits: - Energy savings - Improved cooling performance - Enhanced user comfort

Commercial Applications: Title: Intelligent Air Conditioning System for Energy-Efficient Cooling This technology can be applied in various commercial settings such as office buildings, shopping malls, and hotels to provide efficient and customized cooling solutions, reducing energy costs and improving overall comfort for occupants.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method of adjusting the set temperature based on the airflow mode improve energy efficiency in air conditioning systems? 2. What are the potential long-term cost savings associated with implementing this innovative control method in air conditioners?


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed are an air conditioner and a method for controlling the air conditioner. the air conditioner according to the present disclosure comprises: a fan; a compressor; a temperature sensor; and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, individually and/or collectively, configured to control the air conditioner to: turn on the compressor to cool air, discharge the cooled air to the outside of the air conditioner by driving an indoor fan based on an airflow mode among a plurality of airflow modes, correct a set temperature of the air conditioner based on a correction value corresponding to the airflow mode, and based on the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor matching the corrected set temperature, turn off the compressor in a state in which the driving of the indoor fan is maintained.
