An air conditioner including an arc shaped discharge port formed in a cylindrical member of a housing; a main fan; an arc shaped heat exchanger between the main fan and an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member with respect to a radial direction of the cylindrical member; and an auxiliary fan. A discharge flow path is formed between an outer peripheral end of the heat exchanger and the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member. A guide flow path is formed outside the discharge flow path with respect to the radial direction of the cylindrical member. The auxiliary fan is in the discharge flow path and is configured to suck some of the air discharged through the discharge port into the guide flow path. The guide flow path returns the air sucked by the auxiliary fan to the auxiliary fan.

Air conditioner

A fan includes an inlet part disposed to form a fan inlet, a base disposed to form, together with the inlet part, a fan outlet, and a blade. The blade extends from the base to the inlet part, and includes a first guide surface having an inclination toward an outside of the fan in a radial direction of the fan which changes in a direction from the inlet part toward the base, and a second guide surface having an inclination toward the outside of the fan in the radial direction which changes in a direction from the base toward the inlet part.

Fan, air conditioner including the fan, and method for manufacturing the fan

An air purifier includes a main body having an inlet and a discharge device mounted on the main body and configured to receive air introduced into the main body through the inlet and discharge the air from the air purifier, wherein the discharge device includes a discharge opening, an opening and closing member including a portion having a size and shape corresponding to the discharge opening, and configured to move out of the discharge opening and into the discharge opening to open and close the discharge opening, and a discharge portion including a plurality of discharge holes, wherein each discharge hole of the plurality of discharge holes has a size smaller than a size of the discharge opening, and wherein the discharge portion has an air discharging area that is variable.

Air purifier

An air cleaner includes: a housing including an inlet and an outlet for air; an air blower configured to blow air introduced through the inlet to the outlet; a panel configured to face the outlet and including holes; a driver configured to move the panel with respect to the housing; and a controller configured to control the driver to move the panel to open or close a channel between the outlet and the panel and adjust an air volume discharged through the holes of the panel. Thus, the air cleaner prevents a cold draft phenomenon.

Air purifier and control method therefor

Disclosed is an air conditioner including a structure preventing dew from forming on a surface of a cabinet. The air conditioner includes a housing including an inlet through which air is introduced and an outlet through which air is discharged, a heat exchanger disposed between the inlet and the outlet, a blower disposed inside the housing to suck air through the inlet and to discharge air through the outlet, a discharge panel disposed in front of the housing which includes the outlet, the discharge panel including a plurality of holes through which air discharged from the outlet passes, and an airflow guide disposed between the discharge panel and the blower and configured to guide air discharged from the blower in at least two directions.

Air conditioner including an airflow guide to guide air being discharged

Provided is an air conditioner. The air conditioner comprising a housing having an inlet and an outlet, a fan in the housing to suck in air through the inlet and discharge air through the outlet, and including a plurality of fan blades with an installation space between two fan blades of the plurality of fan blades, a fan driver coupled to an end of the fan by a fastener, to drive the fan, wherein the installation space is positioned to allow the fastener to pass through the installation space to couple the fan driver to the fan, and a stabilizer including a body having at least a portion extending along the fan at a first distance from the fan, and so as to not be over the installation space as the fan rotates, and a modifier extending along the fan at a second distance, which is greater than the first distance, from the fan, and so as to be over the installation space for at least part of a full rotation of the fan as the fan rotates.

Air conditioner having fan module with installation space and stabilizer modifier spaced apart from the fan module

An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a housing, a heat exchanger positioned inside the housing, a fan for blowing air into the heat exchanger such that heat in the blown air is exchanged with the heat exchanger, a duct including a first channel forming surface, and a second channel forming surface, a porous panel corresponding to the second channel forming surface, and including a plurality of pores, a blade for swiveling between an open position and a closed position, blocking the low wind-speed channel at the open position so that air passed through the basic channel can be discharged outside of the air conditioner, moving the air passed through the basic channel to the low wind-speed channel, and discharging the air to the outside via the pores at the closed position, a driver for driving the blade to swivel, and a processor configured to control the driver.
