AIR CONDITIONER UNIT HAVING A STERILIZATION LIGHT ASSEMBLY

An air conditioner unit may include a housing, an outdoor heat exchanger assembly, an indoor heat exchanger assembly, a compressor, a sterilization light assembly, and a flow sensor. The housing may define an indoor portion and an outdoor portion. The housing may further define an exhaust outlet downstream from the indoor portion to exhaust air therefrom. The sterilization light assembly may be disposed within the indoor portion to transmit an ultraviolet light emission thereto. The flow sensor may be disposed within the indoor portion upstream from the exhaust outlet. The flow sensor may be operably coupled to the sterilization light assembly and configured to activation of sterilization light assembly in response to detecting a predetermined airflow within the indoor portion.

AIR CONDITIONING UNIT
20230054677 · 2023-02-23 · ·

An air conditioning unit includes a conditioning chamber, a fan with a fan air input and a fan air output, and an evaporative unit. The fan and the evaporative unit are arranged in the conditioning chamber. The fan draws in entry air to enter the air conditioning unit, then through the evaporative unit, to condition the entry air to produce conditioned air. Within the conditioning chamber, the fan is positioned and configured such that at least 30% of an area of the fan air output are positioned above an average top surface of the evaporative unit, and that air from the at least 30% of the area of the fan air output is directed towards a wall of the conditioning chamber prior to being redirected downwards and through the evaporative unit.

AIR CONDITIONER UNIT AND STERILIZATION LIGHT ASSEMBLY

An air conditioner unit may include a housing, an outdoor heat exchanger assembly, an indoor heat exchanger assembly, a compressor, and a sterilization light assembly. The housing may define an indoor portion and an outdoor portion. The housing may further define an exhaust outlet downstream from the indoor portion to exhaust air therefrom. The sterilization light assembly may be disposed within the housing to transmit an ultraviolet light emission thereto. The sterilization light assembly may include a support board, an ultraviolet C (UVC) light source, and a lens casing. The UVC light source may be mounted to the support board and configured to emit radiation between 200 to 280 nanometers. The lens casing may be disposed over the support board and seal the UVC light source to prevent moisture from contacting the UVC light source.
