  • Patent number: 8868243
    Abstract: A method for controlling a drying machine which includes a drum, a fan to circulate air within the drum, and at least one heater to heat air provided to the drum, and uses the motor and the at least one heater as a load, includes, upon receiving a drying process command from a user, receiving power rate information for each hour from an energy management system (EMS), recognizing current power rates on the basis of the power rate information for each hour, determining whether the current power rates are higher than reference power rates by comparing the current power rates with the reference power rates, and adjusting the operation rate of any one of the motor and the at least one heater when the current power rates are higher than the reference power rates. The drying machine changes the load operation rate before the power rates exceed the reference power rates, resulting in reduction in power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20140298835
    Abstract: A deodorizing filter including at least one deodorizing member to adsorb odor particles contained in fluid. The deodorizing member includes a substrate having plural pass-through pores to allow passage of the fluid, an adherent material applied to a surface of the substrate, and plural porous deodorizer materials fixed to the surface of the substrate by the adherent material to adsorb the odor particles. The deodorizing filter more effectively deodorizes interior air of a refrigerator owing to an increased contact area between interior air of the refrigerator and the deodorizer materials of the deodorizing filter.
