It can also be said that the indoor unit of a cabinet air conditioner is configured to control the flow of refrigerant into the lowermost radiant convection heat exchanger 200 by at least the first refrigerant evaporating temperature to dehumidify the airflow entering from the air inlet 110. And the cabinet air conditioning indoor unit is further configured to control the flow of refrigerant into the uppermost radiant convection heat exchanger 200 at least by the second refrigerant evaporating temperature to cool the air flow entering from the lower side of the radiant convection heat exchanger 200. Preferably, the radiation convection type heat exchanger 200 is two, the lower radiation convection type heat exchanger 200 is used for dehumidification, and the upper radiation convection type heat exchanger 200 is used for refrigeration.

For example, the refrigerant flow in the radiant convective heat exchanger 200 is adjusted to control the refrigerant evaporation temperature. The principle of the dehumidification function is that the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant is slightly lower than the dew point temperature of air, the refrigerating capacity is saved for dehumidification, the refrigerant of a subsequent refrigerating section can be superheated and evaporated, the refrigerating capacity saved by dehumidification is used for reducing the air temperature, the reasonable distribution of the refrigerating capacity is achieved, and the system is energy-saving. The principle of the refrigeration function is that the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant floats above the dew point temperature of the air, and the sensible heat of the air is reduced. Since the dehumidification has been done before, the latent heat is eliminated, and the refrigeration consumes less energy to remove sensible heat at this time. Compared with a single-evaporator air conditioner which cannot reasonably distribute the refrigerating capacity, the air conditioner has the advantages of better independent temperature and humidity control effect and higher energy efficiency. The temperature and humidity are independently controlled, the refrigerating capacity is prevented from being wasted, the indoor climate change is mild, and the comfort is good.

Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
