Abstract: Provided herein are a fan assembly having improved cooling and heating performance and an air conditioner having the same. The fan assembly provided in an air conditioner includes a plurality of rotating fans provided to be rotatable about the same rotating shaft and at least one fixed fan fixed between adjacent two rotating fans of the plurality of rotating fans.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes having refrigerant flowing therein and arranged to exchange heat with outside air; and a header having a chamber adapted to distribute the refrigerant to the plurality of tubes, wherein the header includes, a base wall having a plurality of tube insertion holes into which the plurality of tubes are inserted, and a partition wall integrally formed with the base wall and configured to divide the chamber into a plurality of sections corresponding to the plurality of tubes. This structure helps reduce the number of parts of the heat exchanger, simplify processing and assembling, and improving the heat transfer performance by improving the distribution of the refrigerant.

Abstract: Disclosed is a home appliance provided with a drying apparatus, capable of improving the drying performance. The home appliance includes a body, a dishwashing tub provided in the body and in which a washing operation and a drying operation are conducted, and a drying apparatus provided in the dishwashing tub, and configured to suction air inside the dishwashing tub and discharge the suctioned air to the inside of the dishwashing tub again. The drying apparatus includes a drying duct communicating with the dishwashing tub, a heat pump unit including an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and an expansion valve, and the evaporator and the condenser are disposed inside the drying duct such that air in the dishwashing tub passes through the evaporator first and then the condenser.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a dishwasher. The dishwasher includes a main body, a tub placed within the main body to receive dishes therein, and an air brake mounted to one lateral surface of the tub. The air brake includes a communication hole communicating with the tub to allow air to be introduced into the tub or to be discharged from the tub, a guide rib configured to guide air, introduced through the communication hole, upward of the air brake, and a vent formed in a lateral surface of the air brake to allow air to be discharged outward from the air brake or to allow outside air to be introduced into the air brake, the vent being located below the guide rib to prevent hot air from being discharged from the air brake.
