摘要: A heat exchanger includes heat exchange fins, refrigerant pipes are arranged across the heat exchange fins, and connecting pipes connected to the refrigerant pipes to thereby define refrigerant passages. The connecting pipes include a first pipe portion having a first end connected to one of the refrigerant pipes, a branch pipe portion that is branched from the first pipe portion, that extends parallel to the first pipe portion, and that is connected to another of the refrigerant passages, and a second pipe that is connected to the first pipe portion and that is configured to guide gas-phase refrigerant separated from the refrigerant in the first pipe portion. The second pipe includes an inner insert portion inserted into a second end of the first pipe portion and an outlet portion that extends from the inner insert portion in direction opposite to the second end of the first pipe portion.

摘要: Provided is an air conditioner capable of improving heating performance in a cold region by reducing a refrigerant pressure loss in an outdoor heat exchanger in a heating operation. The air conditioner includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an expansion device, and an indoor heat exchanger. The outdoor heat exchanger may include a plurality of unit channels into which a refrigerant channel is partitioned, and a separating device installed in each of the plurality of unit channels and configured to separate a liquid refrigerant component and a vapor refrigerant component in each of the plurality of unit channels in a heating operation. The air conditioner may further include a compressor suction channel connecting a heating-operation outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger and an inlet of the compressor, and a bypass pipe connecting the separating device and the compressor suction channel.

摘要: Provided is a multi-type air conditioner, including: an outdoor unit comprising a liquid pipe through which liquid refrigerant flows and a gas pipe through which gas refrigerant flows; a plurality of indoor units comprising a first indoor unit and a second indoor unit each connected to the liquid and gas pipelines to circulate a refrigerant; a gas pipe connecting tube connecting the gas pipe and a plurality of indoor units so that a gas refrigerant flows therethrough; a first gas branch pipe connecting the first indoor unit and the gas pipe connecting tube so that a gas refrigerant flows therethrough; a second gas branch pipe connecting the second indoor unit and the gas pipe connecting tube so that a gas refrigerant flows therethrough; an indoor heat exchanger connecting pipe connecting the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit so that a liquid refrigerant flows therethrough; and a liquid pipe connecting tube connecting the first indoor unit and the liquid pipe so that a liquid refrigerant flows therethrough.
The first indoor unit may include: a first heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between indoor air and a refrigerant, a second heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between indoor air and a refrigerant and arranged in a stacked fashion with the first heat exchanger; a first indoor fan configured to blow air to the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger; a first liquid branch pipe connecting the indoor heat exchanger connecting pipe and the first indoor heat exchanger; a first heat exchanger connecting pipe connecting the first liquid branch pipe and the first heat exchanger of the first indoor heat exchanger; a second heat exchanger connecting pipe connecting the first liquid branch pipe and a second heat exchanger of the first indoor heat exchanger; and a first indoor expansion valve disposed at the second heat exchanger connecting pipe, wherein an opening amount of the first indoor expansion valve is adjusted in response to an input signal from the controller to selectively expand a flowing refrigerant.
The liquid pipe connecting tube may connect the first heat exchanger and a liquid pipe, and the first gas branch pipe may connect the second heat exchanger and the gas pipe.
Since the multi-type air conditioner according to the present disclosure can operate the first heat exchanger as a condenser and the second heat exchanger as an evaporator among the indoor heat exchangers, it is possible to continuously drive the dehumidification mode while maintaining the room temperature within a certain range There are advantages.-

摘要: An air conditioner is provided that may include a defrosting bypass valve disposed at a defrosting bypass pipe having a first end connected to a middle point of the outdoor heat exchanger and a second end connected to an inlet pipe of a compressor, and a processor configured to open and close the defrosting bypass valve according to a temperature of a refrigerant in an outdoor heat exchanger. At a beginning of a defrosting operation, the processor may open the defrosting bypass valve to bypass a portion of the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger to the inlet pipe of the compressor, and if the temperature of the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger exceeds a predetermined temperature, the processor may close the defrosting bypass valve, thereby achieving defrosting performance at an early stage of the defrosting operation.
