Abstract: The disclosure an air conditioning system and a method of controlling the same. During the heating operation of the A2W indoor unit, the A2A valve that connects the outdoor unit to the A2A indoor unit is closed to prevent the inflow of the refrigerant into the A2A indoor unit, so it is possible to prevent performance degradation by improving performance loss due to refrigerant bypass to a stationary A2A indoor unit. In addition, in order to improve the performance due to deterioration of heating performance, the system itself can cope with a control algorithm without any additional hardware configuration, thereby minimizing the installation cost.

Abstract: A speaker design technology acquires a coaxial effect of an output sound by placing a high-frequency speaker for outputting a high-pitched sound apart from a low-frequency speaker for outputting a low-pitched sound by a predetermined distance and mechanically arranging output points of the high-frequency speaker and the low-frequency speaker in alignment with each other. The speaker design technology lets vibration of a low-frequency speaker to avoid interference by the high-frequency speaker and also lets the high-frequency speaker to avoid interference by the vibration of the low-frequency speaker by arranging the high-frequency speaker in front of a dust cap necessarily installed in the center of the low-frequency speaker. Since the high-frequency speaker and the low-frequency speaker are spaced apart from each other so as to independently operate, any interface is not required for enabling the high-frequency and the low-frequency speakers to interwork with each other.
