摘要:
An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes: an outdoor heat exchange unit (43) in which a plurality of refrigerant tubes are disposed to be separated in a plurality of columns in a vertical direction to exchange heat of outdoor air and a refrigerant; a first refrigerant distribution device (44) having branch pipes connected to a plurality of refrigerant tubes, respectively, of an upper part among the plurality of refrigerant tubes; a second refrigerant distribution device (46) having branch pipes connected to a plurality of refrigerant tubes, respectively, of a lower part among the plurality of refrigerant tubes; and a communication pipe (80) for communicating one of the branch pipes of the first refrigerant distribution device (44) and one of the branch pipes of the second refrigerant distribution device (46). Therefore, when performing divisional defrost of an upper part and divisional defrost of a lower part of the outdoor heat exchange unit (42), the remaining frost of a central portion of the outdoor heat exchange unit (42) can be also removed.

An apparatus for summing capacities of outdoor units in a multiple air conditioner comprises self-capacity storage devices (70) mounted in outdoor units (61, 62, 63, 65), respectively, for storing self-capacities of the outdoor units (61, 62, 63, 65) and outputting the self-capacities of the outdoor units (61, 62, 63, 65) when necessary, an outdoor unit capacity summing part (81) mounted in one outdoor unit (61) of the outdoor units (61, 62, 63, 65) for receiving the capacities of the outdoor units (61, 62, 63, 65) outputted from the respective self-capacity storage devices (70) to calculate the total capacity of all the outdoor units (60), and a control device (83) for receiving the result of the calculation performed by the outdoor unit capacity summing part (81) to control the operation of the multiple air conditioner. The possibility of incorrect input of the capacities of the outdoor units is eliminated, and therefore, more accurate control of the multiple air conditioner is accomplished. Furthermore, it is not necessary for an engineer or a user to directly input the capacities of the outdoor units, and therefore, user convenience is improved.
摘要:
A heat pump air conditioner includes an outdoor unit (70) for heating use only for supplementing heating capacity when additional heating capacity must be provided to the heating capacity of an outdoor unit (50) for heating and cooling in a heating mode. Since the outdoor unit (70) for heating use only is installed independent from the outdoor units (50) for heating and cooling use, such that the outdoor unit (70) for heating use only can supplement the heating capacity only when the additional heating capacity is required in addition to the heating capacity of the outdoor units (50) for heating and cooling use in the heating mode, in order to correspond to the heating load in cold climes, there is no need to install an outdoor unit having larger heating capacity than the required heating capacity. Thus, costs for installation and management are reduced.

摘要:
A refrigerant bypassing and filtering apparatus of an air conditioner is disclosed which is capable of effectively removing foreign matter such as slag produced in a refrigerant line, not only when the air conditioner is initially operated, but also during normal operation of the air conditioner. The apparatus includes at least one bypass line (150) adapted to guide a refrigerant to bypass a main line (120) through which the refrigerant flows between an outdoor unit (110) and an indoor unit (130), a strainer (160) arranged at the bypass line (150), a first valve (122) arranged at the main line (120) between opposite ands of the bypass line (150) connected to the main line (120), and second valves (152) arranged at the bypass line (150).

A supercooling apparatus of a simultaneous cooling and heating type multiple air conditioner comprises a liquid pipe header (25) connected to an outdoor heat exchanger (2), a plurality of branch liquid pipes (22a, 22b, 22c) branched from the liquid pipe header (25) and connected to a plurality of indoor heat exchangers (50a, 50b, 50c), respectively, and a supercooling mechanism (60) mounted at at least one of the branch liquid pipes (22a, 22b, 22c) for cooling refrigerant flowing to the indoor heat exchangers (50a, 50b, 50c). The liquid refrigerant discharged from the heating-side indoor heat exchangers (50a, 50b, 50c) is supercooled by supercooling heat exchangers (71a, 71b, 71c), and is then introduced into the cooling-side indoor heat exchangers (50a, 50b; 50c).; Consequently, noise generated from the cooling-side heat exchangers during the simultaneous cooling and heating operation is reduced, and cooling capacity of the multi air conditioner is improved.
