Disclosed is a multifunctional storage system including a machine chamber and a compartment, in which clothes are received, the multifunctional storage system including: a heat pump unit located in the machine chamber and including an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, and a pressure controller; a moisture supply unit coupled to the heat pump unit and including a humidification filter; and a fan unit configured to circulate air in the machine chamber from the evaporator toward the condenser, wherein the moisture supply unit is coupled to a front end of the evaporator with reference to a circulation direction of the air, and wherein moisture is supplied to the humidification filter according to a preset condition, and loads of the evaporator and the condenser are increased as the moisture is supplied to the air when the air passes through the humidification filter.

A variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioning system, a control method thereof, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. When the VRF air conditioning system is cooling, indoor units in an operating state are obtained. Indoor units with humidity demand and indoor units without humidity demand in the operating state are obtained. A ratio of humidity demand is determined according to an output nominal value of each indoor unit in the operating state. The ratio can include a ratio of a total output nominal value of indoor units with humidity demand to a total output nominal value of indoor units without humidity demand When the ratio is greater than a preset ratio, a rotation speed of an outdoor fan can be adjusted according to an outdoor environment temperature.

A refrigerant measurement adjustment system includes: a refrigerant sensor for a building and configured to measure an amount of refrigerant present in air outside of a refrigeration system of the building; and an adjustment module configured to: adjust the amount of refrigerant measured based on an adjustment to produce an adjusted amount; and determine the adjustment based on at least one of: an air temperature; an air pressure; a relative humidity of air; a mode of operation of the refrigeration system; a change in the measurements of the refrigerant sensor over time; and whether a blower that blows air across a heat exchanger of the refrigeration system located within the building is on.

Provided are a control method for a refrigerating and freezing device, and the refrigerating and freezing device. The refrigerating and freezing device includes a cabinet provided with a groove communicating with a surrounding environment and sunken inwards, and at least one fan for promoting air of the surrounding environment to flow into the groove. The control method includes: judging whether a temperature in the groove is less than or equal to a dew point temperature; and if yes, controlling the fan to operate at a first preset rotation speed. The temperature in the groove is increased by controlling the fan to operate to introduce hot air of the surrounding environment into the groove when the temperature in the groove is less than or equal to the dew point temperature, which avoids condensation in the groove and improves safety and reliability of electrical parts in the groove.

A control system for a cooling system configured to selectively operate one or both of a condenser fan an evaporator fan in a reverse direction RD, measure power draw at the motor against configuration data and fan motor profiles, and determine if a blockage has occurred before the static pressure has reached a critical point static pressure where the efficiency, performance, and cooling capability of the cooling system is hindered and maintenance is required to clear the blockage. By determining if blockage has occurred before the static pressure has reached the critical point static pressure, an alert or corrective action can be taken.

The present disclosure relates to a multi-circuit heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) system for use with a first refrigerant in a first refrigerant circuit and a second refrigerant in a second refrigerant circuit. The second refrigerant circuit is fluidically isolated from the first refrigerant circuit. Additionally, a first sensor is operable to detect a leak of at least one of the first and second refrigerants or is operable to measure temperature or pressure from the first refrigerant circuit or the second refrigerant. The multi-circuit HVAC system further including a controller programmed to receive the measurement from the sensor to identify the circuit or circuits that are leaking, to turn off operation of the leaking circuit or circuits, and if only one circuit is leaking, operate only the other of the circuits.

An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigeration circuit, a first shut-off device provided at a pipe connecting a heat-source-side heat exchanger and an expansion device, a refrigerant leak detection device, and a controller. The controller controls a flow switching device to switch a connection state between a first connection state in which a discharge side of a compressor is connected to the heat-source-side heat exchanger, and a second connection state in which a suction side of the compressor is connected to the heat-source-side heat exchanger via an accumulator. When a refrigerant leak is detected, the controller performs a refrigerant retrieval operation and a refrigerant transfer operation.

A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system having a return air recycling system that includes a heat exchanger configured to be disposed along a refrigerant circuit of the HVAC system and flow a refrigerant therethrough, an exhaust fan configured to direct return air across the heat exchanger to place the refrigerant in thermal communication with the return air and to exhaust the return air from the HVAC system, and a controller configured to adjust a speed of the exhaust fan, a flow rate of refrigerant through the heat exchanger, or both, based on feedback indicative of a temperature of the return air.

A heat pump is provided that may include an indoor unit including an indoor heat exchanger; an outdoor unit including an outdoor heat exchanger and a compressor that compresses a refrigerant; a housing that forms an outer shape of the outdoor unit and provides an internal space in which the outdoor heat exchanger and the compressor are disposed; a partition wall that is disposed in the internal space of the housing, and divides the internal space into a flow path space in which the outdoor heat exchanger is disposed and a cycle space in which the compressor is disposed; an outdoor fan disposed in the flow path space to cause an air flow; and a controller that controls an operation of the compressor and the outdoor fan. The housing may include a hole that communicates with the cycle space, and the partition wall may include a barrier hole that communicates the flow path space and the cycle space.

A control method and device and an air conditioner are provided. The air conditioner has an outdoor condenser, an indoor evaporator, a first electronic expansion valve, a throttle valve, and a heat dissipation coolant pipe arranged in an electric control box. By utilizing the control method and device, the air conditioner uses the heat dissipation coolant pipe to dissipate heat from the electric control box of the air conditioner. The heat generated by the electric control box can thus be timely removed. The temperature of the elements of the air conditioner can be lowered and the reliability and service life of the air conditioner can be improved.
