Abstract:
An outdoor unit of an air conditioner includes a housing including an outlet, a fan disposed inside the housing, and a guide guiding air flowing by the fan, wherein the guide includes an inflow portion provided to guide air introduced into the housing to the fan and a diffuser extending from the inflow portion to guide air passing through the fan to the outlet. The inflow portion includes a duct connected to the diffuser, a bell mouth disposed on an upstream side further than the duct and configured such that a width of an inlet end of the bell mouth is wider than a width of an outlet end of the bell mouth, and a guide vane formed on the bell mouth and configured to guide air introduced into the fan.
Abstract:
Provided are an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that detects snow that piles up on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and a method of controlling the same. When a detection device is installed in the outdoor unit and snow piles up in a snow cover detection area included in the detection device, it is detected using an optical sensor whether snow cover occurs. A value detected by the optical sensor is transmitted to a controller, and the controller compares the value with a default value, and when the controller receives a value different from the default value, the controller controls a fan driving unit to drive a fan. Wind generated by driving the fan removes snow that piles up in the snow cover detection area, a fan guard and a discharge port to prevent the fan from malfunctioning due to accumulated snow.
Abstract:
In an air-conditioning system, a gaseous refrigerant remaining in a reservoir can be discharged from the reservoir even when a cooling operation has started and the reservoir is being filled with a liquid refrigerant. Therefore, the reservoir can be filled with the liquid refrigerant at a faster speed.
