Abstract:
An air conditioner includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, a converting unit, a first injection module, and a second injection module. The first injection module injects a portion of refrigerant flowing from the indoor heat exchanger to the outdoor heat exchanger to the compressor in a heating operation and supercools refrigerant flowing from the outdoor heat exchanger to the indoor heat exchanger in a cooling operation. The second injection module injects a portion of refrigerant flowing from the indoor heat exchanger to the outdoor heat exchanger to the compressor in the heating operation and injects refrigerant flowing from the outdoor heat exchanger to the indoor heat exchanger to the compressor in the cooling operation.

Abstract:
An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a compressor having a suction unit and a plurality of injection inlets, an inside heat exchanger into which refrigerant compressed in the compressor is introduced during a heating operation, an outside heat exchanger into which refrigerant compressed in the compressor is introduced during a cooling operation, a plurality of refrigerant separation devices through which refrigerant condensed in the inside heat exchanger or the outside heat exchanger pass, a plurality of injection flow paths which extends from the three refrigerant separation devices to the plurality of injection inlets, and a bypass flow path which extends from any one injection flow path among the plurality of injection flow paths to the suction unit of the compressor.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor and an air conditioner including a scroll compressor are provided. The scroll compressor may include a casing, a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll, and an injection passage. The fixed scroll may further include a first injection hole and a second injection hole formed on a spiral flow passage, and a third injection hole and a fourth injection hole formed on the spiral flow passage at a position inwardly rotated by about 360 degrees from the first injection hole and the second injection hole along the spiral flow passage. The first injection hole and the third injection hole may be formed on an outer lane of the spiral flow passage, and the second injection hole and the fourth injection hole may be formed on an inner lane of the spiral flow passage.
Abstract:
An air conditioner including: an outdoor unit, an air conditioning indoor unit, a showcase indoor unit, and a combination unit, wherein the combination unit includes a first gas control unit which is connected to the air conditioning indoor unit gas pipe, a second gas control unit which is connected to the showcase indoor unit gas pipe, a first pipe which connects the outdoor unit liquid pipe and the indoor unit liquid pipe, and a second pipe which connects the first pipe and the second gas control unit, and the first gas control unit and the second gas control unit are converged to be connected to the outdoor unit gas pipe, so that the air conditioning indoor unit for cooling and heating operation and the showcase indoor unit for refrigeration operation can use a single outdoor unit, and the heat emitted from the air conditioning indoor unit to the room during the heating operation of the air conditioning indoor unit is used as the condensation heat of the showcase indoor unit so as to zero the energy use for heating.
Abstract:
A micro channel type heat exchanger in which a first heat exchange module and a second heat exchange module are stacked, the micro channel type heat exchanger including a plurality of flat tubes disposed within the first heat exchange module and the second heat exchange module, and a heat blocking member configured to form a heat blocking space by separating the first heat exchange module and the second heat exchange module, wherein the heat blocking member forms a heat blocking space between the first heat exchange module and the second heat exchange module that minimizes heat conductivity and improves thermal exchange performance of the heat exchanger.
Abstract:
An air conditioner and a method for controlling an air conditioner are provided that efficiently inject a refrigerant into a compressor. The air conditioner may include a compressor to compress a refrigerant; a condenser to condense the refrigerant compressed at the compressor; an evaporator to evaporate the refrigerant condensed at the condenser; and an injection module to selectively or simultaneously inject some or a portion of the refrigerant flowing from the condenser to the evaporator into a high pressure side and a low pressure side of the compressor.
