Patent number: 9429352Abstract: An air conditioner and a method for controlling the same for securing reliability and increasing efficiency are provided. The air conditioner and the method of controlling the same detect freezing occurring in the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, determine a time of the defrosting operation according to a freezing degree such that the defrosting operation is performed, thereby preventing cooling/heating operation efficiency and capability due to a frequent defrosting operation from being deteriorated. The air conditioner and the method of controlling the same according to the present invention provide comfort of a predetermined level to the user to solve deterioration of convenience, and remove freezing due to a defrosting operation to thereby improve efficiency during cooling/heating operations.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Daehee Kim, Joonkeol Song, Sunghwan Kim

Publication number: 20160231039Abstract: The air conditioner may include a sensing unit for sensing a breakdown or an operation state of a motor. The state of the motor is sensed using a non-contact type sensor, whereby it is possible to easily monitor states of a compressor and a fan motor, to sense progress of the abnormality of the compressor and the fan motor or whether the compressor and the fan motor have broken down, and to estimate the expected lifespan of the compressor or the fan motor based on the state thereof using the monitored results. Damage to the air conditioner may be prevented due to abnormality of the compressor or the fan motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventors: Joonkeol SONG, Sunghwan Kim, Daehee Kim
