Abstract:
An air conditioner and a control method for the same, the air conditioner including an air conditioning unit including a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion valve, and a second heat exchanger; and a controller configured to obtain enthalpy of a refrigerant flowing in the air conditioning unit, obtain an air conditioning capacity using a circulation amount of the refrigerant and the obtained enthalpy of the refrigerant, obtain efficiency based on the obtained air conditioning capacity and supplied power, and control the air conditioning unit according to the obtained efficiency.
Abstract:
An air conditioner includes a cabinet, a particle sensing unit coupled to the cabinet and configured to measure a particle concentration of an outside, and an inlet provided at the cabinet and configured to communicate with the outside so that particles flow into the particle sensing unit, and the particle sensing unit includes a first particle sensor configured to sense particles flowing in through the inlet, and a second particle sensor coupled to form a connection path in which particles move between the first particle sensor and the second particle sensor to sense the particles passing through the first particle sensor. The air conditioner allows the sensing of fine particles and ultrafine particles due to a plurality of particle sensors.
Abstract:
An air conditioner to prevent fingers from being jammed therein during a closing operation of an opening and a method of controlling the same are provided. The air conditioner includes a housing in which an opening is formed, a door unit provided to be movable around the opening to open or close the opening, and at least one configured to control the door unit to stop at a position spaced a preset first distance from the opening during a closing operation of the door unit and control the closing operation of the door unit.
Abstract:
An air conditioner includes a dust collecting space so that foreign substances inside the air conditioner may be easily removed. The air conditioner includes a case, a front panel having a plurality of holes formed to discharge air to the front of the case, and a dust container provided inside the case to communicate with some of the plurality of holes.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an air conditioner system and a controlling method thereof. In a situation that air-conditioning systems such as air conditioners and refrigerators are installed and operated in a site, real-time operation data are acquired and the air conditioning and efficiency are calculated at the site. By comparing performance data provided by a device manufacturer and the real-time operation data, device performance is corrected for the site's installation environment. By using corrected device performance, it is possible to save building facility energy by providing optimal operation number control suitable for the installation environment.
Abstract:
An air conditioner including an opening and closing apparatus configured to open/close a discharge port for discharging air into an indoor space, the opening and closing apparatus includes a plurality of covers provided with a guide unit, a guide plate provided with a spiral guide hole alternately formed with a guide hole having a first section and a second section, and a rail plate extended in a radial direction and having a plurality of rails through which the guide unit is inserted. When the guide plate is rotated, the plurality of covers are moved in a radial direction while having a time interval with respect to the adjacent cover as to open/close the discharge port.
Abstract:
An indoor unit of an air conditioner having improved structures of suction, discharge and/or flow passages which may increase operation efficiency, reduce noises and realize a compact size. The indoor unit includes a housing comprising a front panel and a rear panel coupled to a rear portion of the front panel, at least one discharge outlet exposed to a front of the front panel, at least one suction inlet formed in the rear panel at a position corresponding to the discharge outlet, at least one heat exchanger disposed at a front portion of the suction inlet to absorb heat from air introduced through the suction inlet or transfer heat to the air introduced through the suction inlet, and at least one diagonal flow fan disposed between the heat exchanger and the discharge outlet to suction air passing through the heat exchanger and discharge the air through the discharge outlet.
