Air conditioner

Provided is an air blower for an air conditioner. The air blower for the air conditioner includes a centrifugal fan and a fan housing. The fan housing covers the centrifugal fan, and forms a scroll-type flow path having a varying cross-sectional area and guiding air forcibly blown by the centrifugal fan to an outlet. Here, a bottom surface of the scroll-type flow path inclines and is thinnest near a region where the scroll-type flow path ends. The thickness of the bottom surface progressively increases along a straight line running from a region where the bottom surface is thinnest to an opposite outer side of the scroll-type flow path through a center of the centrifugal fan.

Air blower for an air conditioner

An outdoor fan for an air-conditioner is provided to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and noise generated during an operation by reducing a side circulation flow generated when the fan rotates. The outdoor fan may include a hub shaft with a side hole, and rotary blades that convert rotary power received from the hub shaft into a pressure difference. The hub shaft may include a main plate unit perpendicular to the hub shaft and, positioned at a front side as compared to a virtual plane that includes the side hole, and the main plate unit to cover at least a portion of the hub shaft.

Outdoor unit of air-conditioner and fan used therefor

A fan includes a main plate and at least one or more blades connected to the main plate. At least a portion of a boundary portion between the main plate and a pressure surface of the blade is provided as a curved boundary portion such that the blade and the main plate are connected to each other at a curvature.

A heat exchanger unit of the air conditioning apparatus includes a first heat exchanger including a first body, a first introduction opening provided at an upper end portion of the first body, and a first discharge opening formed at a corner portion on one side of a lower end portion of the first body and having an elliptic shape; and a second heat exchanger including a second body, a second introduction opening connected to the first discharge opening, provided at a corner portion on one side of a lower portion of the second body, and having an elliptic shape corresponding to that of the first discharge opening, and a second discharge opening provided at a corner portion on the other side of an upper end portion of the second body.

Heat exchanger unit for improving heat exchange efficiency and air conditioning apparatus having the same

A capacity-variable air conditioner is capable of controlling capacity and consumed electricity in response to operation mode. The refrigerant compression quantity of a compressor is variably adjusted by control of open/close operation modes via selective combination of open/close valves of bypass pipes and bypass valve of the compressor in response to the operation mode. The capacity-variable air conditioner discharges some of the refrigerant infused into the compressor while the bypass valve of the compressor is opened under energy saving operation mode, such that refrigerant circulation quantity can be adjustably reduced under the energy saving operation mode where load of the compressor is less than that of a normal operation mode, thereby enabling a reduction in the capacity and consumed electricity.

Capacity-variable air conditioner

A heat exchanger of an air conditioner comprising: at least one or more refrigerant inlets for connecting a compressor for compressing refrigerant to an expansion device for expanding condensed refrigerant via a piping and for receiving high temperature/pressure refrigerant coming from the compressor via a four-way valve; at least one or more refrigerant outlets for discharging the refrigerant to the expansion device, wherein the number of the refrigerant outlets is greater than that of the refrigerant inlets, such that same performances can be achieved for both the cooling and heating purposes albeit the heat exchanger being simplified in the structure thereof, and manufacturing cost can be reduced to thereby improve the productivity.

Heat exchanger of air conditioner

Cross flow fan having a plurality of unit fans assembled in succession with the unit fans twisted from each other at sides, and an air conditioner fitted with the same. The unit fan includes an annular rim, and a plurality of impellers arranged on a side of the rim vertical to, and along a circumference of the rim. The present invention provides a cross flow fan extension lines from the impellers of the unit fan have a phase difference with the extension lines from the impellers of an adjacent unit fan. The air conditioner includes a casing having an inlet and an outlet, an indoor unit inclusive of an indoor heat exchanger provided in rear of the inlet inside of the casing, and a cross flow fan having a plurality of unit fans assembled at sides in succession, with the unit fans twisted from each other, the cross flow fan being provided inside of the casing, and the unit fan having an annular rim, and a plurality of impellers arranged on a side of the rim vertical to, and along a circumference of the rim, and an outdoor unit having an outdoor heat exchanger and a compressor, the outdoor unit connected to the indoor unit with refrigerant pipe.

Cross flow fan and air conditioner fitted with the same

The present invention provides an indoor unit in air conditioner, including two heat exchangers, a connection pipe connecting the heat exchangers, first means for guiding refrigerant flow, and second means provided to the connection pipe. The two heat exchangers, i.e., first and second heat exchangers, have one ends connected to first and second pipelines connected to parts outside of the indoor unit, for an example, a compressor or an outdoor expansion device. The first means selectively guides the refrigerant introduced thereto through the first or second pipeline to be discharged through the second or the first pipeline after being passed through both, or either of the first and second heat exchangers. The second means is provided to the connection pipe so that the refrigerant transferred from one of the first and second heat exchanger to the other one of the first and second heat exchanger is passed in an original state or in an expanded state.
