20110192176 | AIR CONDITIONER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - Disclosed herein is a water-source heat-pump type air conditioner in which a receiver is connected to a super-cooler or economizer, and a control method of the air conditioner to reduce the quantity of liquid refrigerant collected in the receiver during a cooling/heating overload operation. When a cooling/heating overload operation occurs, an electric expansion valve associated with the super-cooler or the economizer is opened by a predetermined opening degree, to bypass high-pressure liquid refrigerant collected in the receiver, thereby preventing a rapid pressure increase due to a great quantity of liquid refrigerant collected in the receiver. | 08-11-2011 |
20110192177 | AIR CONDITIONER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - Disclosed herein are an air conditioner which controls a pressure of a refrigerant of an outdoor unit by adjusting an opening degree of an outdoor expansion valve or an indoor expansion valve, and a control method thereof. The air conditioner measures a pressure of the refrigerant discharged from a compressor during a cooling operation, and raises the pressure of the refrigerant to be higher than a designated pressure by controlling an opening degree of at least one of the outdoor expansion valve and the indoor expansion valve, if the pressure of the refrigerant is lower than the designated pressure. Further, the air conditioner measures the pressure of the refrigerant inhaled into the compressor during a heating operation, and adjusts the pressure of the refrigerant to be lower than a designated pressure by controlling the opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve, if the pressure of the refrigerant is higher than the designated pressure. | 08-11-2011 |
20130319018 | MULTI TYPE AIR CONDITIONER AND COOLING AND HEATING CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A cooling and heating control method of a multi type air conditioner in which a target pressure of a compressor is adjusted based on conditions of respective indoor units so as to reduce power consumption is provided. The cooling control method includes determining the indoor unit desired to execute power saving control, judging whether or not a difference between a temperature of a space in which the indoor unit desired to execute power saving control is located and a set temperature of the indoor unit is less than a reference value, raising a target evaporation temperature of the indoor unit upon judging that the difference is less than the reference value, comparing an evaporation temperature of the indoor unit with the raised target evaporation temperature, and raising an evaporation pressure of a compressor, when the evaporation temperature of the indoor unit is lower than the raised target evaporation temperature. | 12-05-2013 |
20140044562 | COMPRESSOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A compressor capable of reducing oil foaming and reducing the waiting time taken until the heating of the compressor is completed, and a method of controlling the same, the method of controlling a compressor including sensing temperature of the oil in the compressor, if the temperature of the oil is below a reference temperature, performing a loss operation, in which an amount of heat radiation of the motor part is increased, while operating the motor part at a low speed, and if the temperature of the oil increases to be equal to or higher then reference temperature, performing an efficiency operation by converting an operation of the motor to a normal operation. | 02-13-2014 |
20150022029 | PLANAR MOTOR AND PROCESSING APPARATUS AND USING THE SAME - A planar motor includes a base provided with at least one stator, a mover provided on a top portion of a planar object to be placed on a top portion of the base, and moving according to a magnetic field generated by the stator, a mover support connected to the mover, supporting the mover from the planar object, and moving the mover according to a force of the magnetic field, and a controller supplying a control current to the stator to control location of the mover. | 01-22-2015 |
20150107296 | HEAT EXCHANGER AND AIR CONDITIONER HAVING THE SAME - A heat exchanger that effectively distributes a refrigerant by varying the cross-sectional area of a header and an air conditioner having the same. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of refrigerant tubes disposed spaced apart from each other, a header joined to both ends of each of the refrigerant tubes, at least one baffle to divide the refrigerant tubes into a plurality of mutually adjacent groups and block a longitudinal flow of a refrigerant flowing in the header, each of the groups causing the refrigerant to flow in one direction, and a booster installed to vary a cross-sectional area of the header to uniformly distribute the refrigerant to refrigerant tubes in the same group among the refrigerant tubes. The booster to vary the cross-sectional area of the header may allow a refrigerant flowing through a header to be effectively distributed to the refrigerant tubes. | 04-23-2015 |
