Description

Air conditioner having an air purifying function{Air conditioner having an air purifying function}

The present invention relates to an air conditioner having an air purifying function, and relates to an air conditioner having an air purifying function capable of purifying air in an installation area where the air conditioner is installed.

In general, the air conditioner is also referred to as an air conditioner, and is intended to maintain the room at a temperature and humidity suitable for occupants' activity.

The air conditioner operates on the same principle as the refrigeration cycle used in a refrigerator or a refrigerator. Heat exchangers are installed indoors and outdoors, respectively, and the compressed air through a compressor condenses, expands under reduced pressure, and evaporates indoor air. By cooling, it is possible to maintain the room temperature at an appropriate level.

Typically, the air conditioner is provided with a four-way valve that can switch the direction of movement of the refrigerant flowing into the compressor or the refrigerant discharged from the compressor. In summer, heat exchangers installed indoors can be used as evaporators, and heat exchangers installed outdoors can be used as condensers. It is formed to cool the indoor air in summer and to heat the indoor air in winter by setting the direction of movement of the refrigerant so as to be the opposite in winter.

These air conditioners are used not only at home, but also in industrial sites where thorough maintenance of temperature and humidity is required. For example, electronic equipment that can be accommodated inside a laboratory where precision processing and measurement are performed through precision machinery, an assembly fab, or a computer center system that accommodates computer equipment systems or a museum where various ancient documents and cultural properties are stored. , Precision machinery, equipment, etc. Since it is very sensitive to changes in ionicity and humidity, constant temperature and humidity are thoroughly required.

However, in the case of the conventional air conditioner, the air in the installation target area is circulated by cooling or heating, while the air in the corresponding area is difficult to purify.
