An air management device may include three independently operated primary impellers 131, 131′, 131″, and drawn-in air is discharged through discharge ports 15′-1, 15′-2, 15′-3 provided in the front plate 15 of the housing 10. Louvers 141, 142, 143installed downstream of the air flow and discharge ports 15′-1, 15′-2, 15′-3 may be independently opened or closed to provide discharge of the air to the surrounding environment. Further, at least one retractable or pop-up fan may be provided. A bottom inlet 11′ may be formed on the bottom plate 11 of the housing 10 facing the floor of the living space above a predetermined distance. The replaceable filter 300 may be installed to filter the air sucked through the bottom inlet 11′, and may be drawn in and out of the housing 10.

An air conditioner and a method for controlling an air conditioner are provided. The air conditioner may include a case that forms a space therein with an open lower side; a panel that is disposed at lower side of the case, and has an inlet and a plurality of outlets disposed around the inlet; a fan that is disposed in the case; a plurality of wind adjuster that is disposed in each of the plurality of outlets, and adjusts a direction of air flowing through each of the plurality of outlets; a camera that obtains an image of an indoor space; and a controller that controls the plurality of wind adjusters based on image information obtained from the camera. The controller may divide the plurality of outlets into a first area outlet and a second area outlet, and adjust each of the plurality of wind adjusters so that airflows of air discharged through the first area outlet and airflows of air discharged through the second area outlet are formed differently.

Disclosed are a fresh air module and an air conditioner. The fresh air module has a housing, a fan assembly and a purification assembly. The housing is provided with a fresh air inlet and a fresh air outlet. A fresh air duct is formed in the housing and communicates the fresh air inlet with the fresh air outlet. The fan assembly is mounted in the fresh air duct. The purification assembly is disposed in the fresh air duct and located at one end of the fan assembly in an axial direction of the fan assembly to correspond to an air inlet end of the fan assembly.

A floor-standing air conditioner includes a first member that opens or closes a first flow path, a second member that opens or closes a second flow path, and a control unit that controls a fan, the first member, and the second member. The control unit is configured to perform a first blowing process of blowing out air from the first blow-out port with the first flow path opened by the first member and the second flow path closed by the second member, a second blowing process of blowing out air from the second blow-out port with the first flow path closed by the first member and the second flow path opened by the second member, and a blow-out port switching process of blowing out air from both the first blow-out port and the second blow-out port during switching between the first blowing process and the second blowing process.
