DAMPER FOR A COMPRESSOR OF AN AIR CONDITIONING APPLIANCE
An air conditioner unit includes a cabinet including a base pan that defines at least one alignment feature and a compressor mounted to the base pan using mechanical fasteners that pass through mounting feet and into mounting bosses defined on the base pan. A damper is positioned between the compressor and the base pan and includes a lower pad seated on the base pan, an upper pad extending from the lower pad along the vertical direction and contacting a bottom surface of the compressor, and at least one stopping feature defined on the lower pad or the upper pad, the at least one stopping feature engaging the at least one alignment feature to prevent rotation of the damper.
Indoor unit of air-conditioning apparatus and air-conditioning apparatus
An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus includes a heat-medium heat exchanger, an air vent valve, a drain pan, and a hose. The heat-medium heat exchanger is provided in a housing to cause heat exchange to be performed between a heat medium and indoor air. The air vent valve allows air to escape from a heat medium passage that allows the heat medium to flow in the heat-medium heat exchanger. The drain pan is provided below the heat-medium heat exchanger to receive condensation water generated at a surface of the heat-medium heat exchanger. The hose has flexibility, and is attached to the air vent valve, and provided to let out the air along with the heat medium from the heat medium passage to the inner space in the drain pan. The hose has a double-wall structure and an upper end portion of the hose is fixed to the air vent valve.
Ceiling type air conditioner
A ceiling type air conditioner including an indoor unit having a built-in heat exchanger and a built-in blower, and having a plurality of blowing passages for discharging, to the outside, air having passed through the heat exchanger; a discharge panel having a plurality of inlets into which air discharged through the plurality of blowing passages is delivered, an inner space at least partially communicating with the partiality of inlets, and a ring-or arc-shaped opening for discharging, into a room, air flowing into the inner space; and an air guide module mounted to the discharge panel, and moved upward and downward or rotated so as to vary airflow discharged through the opening.
AIR CONDITIONER HAVING VARIABLE AIR VOLUME CONTROL DEVICE
Provided is an air conditioner including a variable air volume control device. The air conditioner includes: an indoor unit main body including a main outlet through which air is discharged; a blower placed in the indoor unit main body and blowing air toward the main outlet; and a controller adjusting a second discharge rate of air in an air cleaning mode independently of a first discharge rate of air in a heating or cooling mode, wherein the second discharge rate of air is varied within a range different from a range in which the first discharge rate of air is varied.

Interlaced heat exchanger
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a climate management system that includes a heat exchanger having a first set of microchannel coils fluidly coupled to a first circuit of the climate management system and a second set of microchannel coils fluidly coupled to a second circuit of the climate management system, where the first circuit and the second circuit are fluidly separate from one another, and where the first set of microchannel coils and the second set of microchannel coils are disposed in an alternating arrangement along a length of the heat exchanger such that the first set of microchannel coils and the second set of microchannel coils are interlaced in the heat exchanger.
USE OF COMPOSITION AS REFRIGERANT IN COMPRESSOR, COMPRESSOR, AND REFRIGERATION CYCLE APPARATUS
The propagation of a disproportionation reaction of a refrigerant is suppressed. Disclosed is a method that uses a composition as a refrigerant in a compressor, in which the composition includes one or more compounds selected from the group of ethylene-based fluoroolefins, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through a region around an ignition energy generation portion in the compressor under a predetermined high-pressure condition is greater than or equal to 1 m/s.
AIR CONDITIONER
An air-conditioner (10) is provided, including a casing (12), an evaporator (14), a front panel (16) and a temperature sensor (18). The casing (12) has an air inlet (120) and an air outlet (122). The evaporator (14) is arranged in the casing (12). The front panel (16) is arranged in front of the casing (12). The temperature sensor (18) is disposed to a back of the front panel (16) and is used for sensing an ambient temperature.
INDOOR UNIT FOR AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS
When a controller determines that a leakage of refrigerant occurs, the controller executes a control of rotating an air-sending fan at high rotation speed. After the control, the controller executes a control of stopping rotation of the air-sending fan or reducing a rotation speed of the air-sending fan in accordance with a result of detection by a first refrigerant sensor provided in a lower portion of a heat exchanger chamber. Thus, the air-sending fan is prevented from continuing the rotation at high rotation speed. Therefore, an indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus is excellent in safety and is capable of avoiding feeling of discomfort of a user due to the high-speed rotation of the air-sending fan.
Gravity shutter
An exhaust air shutter assembly may include a housing having a dividing wall separating the exhaust air shutter assembly into an inside portion and an outside portion. An opening may be formed in the dividing wall and a frame may be mounted around the perimeter of the hole. Disposed on the frame may be a gasket that extends around the entire perimeter of the hole. The exhaust air shutter also may include at least one shutter flap mounted adjacent to the frame with a hinge such that the shutter flap can pivot between a closed position and an open position. When the shutter flap is in the open position, an air flow path exists from the inside portion of the exhaust air shutter assembly to the outside portion. When the shutter flap is in the closed position the air flow path is blocked. The shutter flap is configured to contact the gasket mounted to the frame when the shutter flap is in the closed position, thereby creating a seal between the shutter flap and the opening in the dividing wall.
