Title: Kwang-Hyup An: Innovator in Refrigeration Technology

Introduction

Kwang-Hyup An is a prominent inventor based in Seoul, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of refrigeration technology, holding a total of 9 patents. His innovative designs focus on enhancing the efficiency and reliability of refrigeration systems.

Latest Patents

One of Kwang-Hyup An's latest patents is a concentrated cooling apparatus for refrigerators. This invention improves the reliability of infrared sensors by preventing moisture from condensing on their surfaces. The apparatus features a nozzle that is rotationally supported by a cold air guide path, which jets cold air to high-temperature load regions within the refrigerator's chilling chamber. An infrared sensor is strategically installed at the front of the nozzle, allowing it to sense the high-temperature load while rotating with the nozzle. Additionally, a moisture removing device jets cold air onto the infrared sensor's surface to eliminate any condensed moisture. Another notable patent is an infrared sensor assembly designed to precisely detect the location of heat sources by narrowing the receiving angle of the infrared sensor. This assembly includes a supporting frame for the infrared sensor, a case with an infrared filter, and a receiving range limiting means to enhance detection accuracy.
