Description

Air conditioner {AIR CONDITIONER}

The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly, to an air conditioner used for the purpose of controlling an indoor temperature.

The air conditioner is installed to provide a more comfortable indoor environment to humans by discharging cold and hot air into the room to create a comfortable indoor environment, controlling the indoor temperature, and purifying the indoor air.

In general, an air conditioner includes an indoor unit configured as a heat exchanger and installed indoors, and an outdoor unit configured as a compressor and a heat exchanger and supplying refrigerant to the indoor unit.

Such an air conditioner is controlled separately from an indoor unit composed of a heat exchanger and an outdoor unit composed of a compressor and a heat exchanger, and is operated by controlling power supplied to the compressor or the heat exchanger.

In addition, at least one indoor unit may be connected to the outdoor unit, and the air conditioner is operated in a cooling or heating mode by supplying a refrigerant to the indoor unit according to a requested operating state.

The air heat-exchanged in the heat exchanger of the air conditioner is supplied to the room through a blower fan, and the blower fan installed in the air conditioner includes a sirocco fan, an axial fan, a turbo fan, and a cross flow fan.

In addition, the indoor unit may be provided with an air inlet for forming a passage for sucking indoor air into the indoor unit, and an air outlet for forming a passage for discharging air introduced into the indoor unit.

When the blower fan is driven, indoor air may be sucked into the indoor unit through the air inlet, and the air introduced into the indoor unit through the air inlet flows around the heat exchanger by the airflow formed by the blower fan to exchange heat. The heat exchange with the air may be performed, and the air heat-exchanged inside the indoor unit may be discharged to the outside of the indoor unit, that is, to the room through the air outlet.

The indoor unit may include a centrifugal fan such as a sirocco fan, an axial fan, a turbo fan, a cross-flow fan, etc. as a blowing fan. In an indoor unit in which such a blowing fan is installed, air discharged to the outside of the indoor unit according to the position of the air inlet and the air outlet can be determined.

In general, an indoor unit is provided in a form in which an air intake port is formed on a rear surface thereof and an air discharge port is formed on a front surface thereof.

In this case, indoor air may be sucked into the indoor unit through the air intake port from the rear of the indoor unit, exchange heat with the heat exchanger inside the indoor unit, and then be discharged to the front of the indoor unit through the air outlet formed on the front surface of the indoor unit.

That is, in the indoor unit having the air inlet and the air outlet arranged in the front-rear direction as described above, a straight-line flow path connected in the front-rear direction is formed. Although this type of indoor unit has advantages in reducing flow resistance, it is necessary to secure a sufficient overall area because the installation location of the heat exchanger is limited to one rear surface of the indoor unit and the installation area of the heat exchanger is limited to less than or equal to the rear surface area.
