In general, an air conditioner (also referred to as an air conditioner) has a refrigeration cycle device composed of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator, and the like, so that the cold formed by the evaporator and the warmth generated by the condenser are provided to the indoor situation. It is a device that keeps the indoor atmosphere pleasant by sending it out appropriately.

Air conditioners can be divided into window air conditioners and separate air conditioners depending on the installation method. Window type air conditioners install all refrigeration cycle devices in one casing and install them on windows, whereas separate air conditioners are divided into indoor and outdoor units, and an indoor heat exchanger is installed in the indoor unit, and an outdoor heat exchanger and compressor are installed in the outdoor unit, respectively. to be installed outdoors.

Here, the conventional window-type air conditioner is divided into an indoor unit and an outdoor unit by installing a separation plate inside a hexahedral housing.

The outdoor unit includes a compressor for compressing the gaseous refrigerant at high temperature and high pressure, a condenser for condensing the gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor into a liquid state, and an outdoor unit fan for cooling the condenser.

Further, the indoor unit side includes an evaporator for absorbing ambient heat by vaporizing the expanded refrigerant by passing the liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser through an expansion valve, and an indoor unit fan blowing air from the evaporator.

With this configuration, the compressor of the window air conditioner compresses the refrigerant gas to high temperature and high pressure, and the refrigerant liquid condensed through heat exchange in the condenser passes through the expansion valve, whereby the refrigerant liquid at low temperature and low pressure exchanges heat with the indoor air in the evaporator.

However, in the conventional window-type air conditioner, since the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are installed together in a hexahedral housing, it takes up a lot of installation space, and vibration and noise generated from the compressor installed in the outdoor unit are cooled through the indoor unit. It is transmitted directly to the target space, the interior.

In addition, according to the thickness of the wall on which the conventional window-type air conditioner is installed, it is inconvenient that a member such as an angle for fixing the window-type air conditioner must be separately manufactured and fixed.

And the hot refrigerant is condensed at room temperature while passing through the condenser 122 and the refrigerant compressed to a high density passes through the condenser 122 through the gas line 134 . In this condensing process, the refrigerant continuously emits heat to the surroundings, and this heat is released to the outside by the blowing fan 124 .

The refrigerant, which is in a liquid state at room temperature by continuously emitting heat, passes through the expansion valve 132 and the gas line 134 , and the refrigerant in a mist state passes through the evaporator 116 . The shape of the evaporator 116 is almost identical to that of the condenser 122 . The refrigerant with a very low density evaporates at room temperature this time. The refrigerant absorbs the surrounding heat as it turns into a gas. At this time, the air around the evaporator 116 becomes cold. As the fan 118 injects the cooled air into the room, the temperature of the room is lowered.

And the refrigerant, which has become a gas at room temperature while passing through the evaporator 116 , has a repetitive action going back to the compressor 126 .

On the other hand, the mounting means 140 made of GMT (Glass Fiber Mat Thermoplastic Composite) or LFT (Long Fiber Reinforced Composite) containing a thermoplastic resin is disposed between the window frame 10 and the window frame-mounted air conditioner 100 and the compressor 126 ), while supporting the load of the condenser 122 and the evaporator 116, vibration and noise are absorbed.

Due to the above-described functions, the indoor main body 110 and the outdoor main body 120 are installed through the integral connection part 130 with the window frame 10 interposed therebetween, so that the volume is slim and stable, and the installation is possible. , the indoor main body 110 and the outdoor main body 120 are integrally configured through the connection part 130 to prevent an accident due to the fall of the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.
