An HVAC system is provided. Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to heat exchangers having tubing with a reduced diameter compared to traditional systems. In one embodiment, a ducted HVAC system comprises an outdoor heat exchanger with tubing that has an outer diameter of eight millimeters (8 mm) or less and an indoor heat exchanger with tubing that has an outer diameter of nine millimeters (9 mm) or less. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

An infrared sensor is installed to one of the corners of a decorative panel to face different directions at the respective corners. A controller controls one of several air direction vanes and thus airflow out of one of air outlets and an air-conditioning apparatus to perform an operation, makes a determination of the installation position of the infrared sensor from one of several divided areas in which a temperature difference in floor surface between before and during an operation of the one of the air direction vanes equals or exceeds a specified value, a disposition position of the one of the air direction vanes, and an installation direction of the infrared sensor, and makes the one of the divided areas in which the temperature difference equals or exceeds the specified value correspond to the one of the air direction vanes to be controlled.

An air conditioner including: a housing communicating with a space in which a window covering is installed, and including a suction port through which air is suctioned from the space and a discharge port through which air is discharged into an indoor area; a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with the air suctioned through the suction port; a blower fan allowing air to be suctioned through the suction port or allowing air to be discharged through the discharge port; and a guide panel provided at the suction port to guide the window covering to prevent the window covering from covering the suction port.

A evaporative cooling device is described having a pair of heat conducting plates arranged in spaced, generally parallel relationship with spacing elements separating the plates from one another and defining primary and secondary flow channels between the plates. Inlet ducts are connected to the primary channels and outlet ducts connect from the primary and secondary channels. A water distribution system is also provided to supply water to the secondary channels such that a primary air flow through the primary channels may be cooled by heat conduction along the plates to cause evaporation of the water into a secondary air flow through the secondary channels.

The indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a centrifugal blower configured to discharge air sucked from an indoor-unit suction port to the periphery, a heat exchanger provided on a discharge side of the centrifugal blower, a blowout port provided on a downstream side of the heat exchanger, and a drain pan provided under the heat exchanger and configured to receive moisture condensation water. The lower end of a discharge port of the centrifugal blower is provided in a position higher than an upper end of a wall surface section of the drain pan located on the upstream side with respect to the heat exchanger. The upper end of the wall surface section located on the upstream side with respect to the heat exchanger is formed lower than an upper end of a wall surface section located on the downstream side with respect to the heat exchanger.

An indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes a case, an air-sending fan, and a heat exchanger unit. The heat exchanger unit includes a plurality of heat-transfer pipes extending in a vertical direction and forming a plurality of refrigerant passages in a width direction of the case and an air flow direction, and a plurality of headers connected to both ends of the plurality of heat-transfer pipes to allow the refrigerant to flow between the plurality of heat-transfer pipes. The plurality of headers include a plurality of division headers dividing and connecting the plurality of heat-transfer pipes arranged in the air flow direction and connecting in parallel the plurality of heat-transfer pipes arranged in the width direction, and a return header connecting and turning back the plurality of divided refrigerant passages arranged in the air flow direction and connecting in parallel the plurality of heat-transfer pipes arranged in the width direction.

An indirect evaporative cooling system with a core greatly reduced in size compared to conventional evaporative cooling systems The system has a heat exchanger core having heat exchange plates defining a plurality of wet air flow passages and a plurality of dry air flow passages. At least one fan drives air through the passages. The dry air passages have a small height and a short length, configured so that a substantially laminar airflow having a raised shear rate arises in the dry air passages, and so that a back pressure across a length of the dry air passages remains low.

Disclosed is a heat exchanger assembly including: a coil; one baffle connected to a first end of the coil, the one baffle being configured to capture a liquid refrigerant that has leaked from the coil, the one baffle being configured to direct the liquid refrigerant toward a first end of a drain pan.
