  • Publication number: 20240100206
    Abstract: A shoes care device includes a first management device, a second management device, a steam generator, and a controller. Each of the first management device and the second management device may be configured to include an inner cabinet, a connection path, a blowing part, and a dehumidifying part. A supply degree of steam, a dehumidification degree by a dehumidifying part, and a flow degree of air circulated in a connection path can be different between the first management device and the second management device, and as a result, the shoes can be managed under different conditions in the first management device and the second management device.

  • Patent number: 8006504
    Abstract: It is possible to prevent that a liquid refrigerant is included in a refrigerant injected into a compressor. Accordingly, the risk of liquid compression of the compressor is greatly reduced, thereby decreasing the possibility of damage to the compressor and improving reliability and performance.

  • Patent number: 7918098
    Abstract: An air conditioning system can improve the cooling/heating performance of the system because the injection of refrigerant into the compressor is achieved. The air conditioning system can further improve the cooling/heating performance in a low temperature region by injecting refrigerant as a two-phase refrigerant or a superheated vapor state into the compressor. The air conditioning system can prevent damage of the compressor and further improve reliability by controlling such that the ratio of a liquid refrigerant in the refrigerant injected into the compressor may be less than a set value.

  • Patent number: 7918097
    Abstract: An air conditioning system is able to decrease the amount of refrigerant between a first expansion device and an injection valve and thus adjust the pressure of an injected refrigerant by decreasing the opening degree of the first expansion device and maintaining the opening degree of a second expansion device upon opening of the injection valve, thereby making the system stable upon opening of the injection valve. Furthermore, upon starting up a compressor, the opening degrees of the first and second expansion devices are partly decreased based on the start-up of the compressor and then gradually opened again, and upon completion of the start-up of the compressor, the opening amounts of the first and second expansion devices and the injection valve are controlled, thereby making the cycle more stable.

  • Patent number: 7918104
    Abstract: A water cooling type air conditioner is provided. The water cooling type air conditioner includes first and second heat exchangers, a refrigerant pipe, and a direction controlling unit. The first heat exchanger performs heat exchange between air and refrigerant. The second heat exchanger performs heat exchange between the refrigerant and cooling water. The refrigerant pipe is connected between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger to guide a flow of the refrigerant. The direction controlling unit is disposed on one side of the second heat exchanger and controls the refrigerant and the cooling water flowing inside the second heat exchanger to flow in respectively opposite directions.

  • Publication number: 20090165482
    Abstract: In an air conditioning system, a first expansion device and a second expansion device playing a different role from each other are controlled in a different control method suitable for each role, thereby improving the performance and stability of the system. Furthermore, the control method for the first expansion device is differentiated according to the operation state of the air conditioning system, thereby improving the stability of the system. Furthermore, the intermediate pressure can be adjusted more rapidly and precisely according to the state of the air conditioning system by differentiating the control method for the first expansion device for adjusting the intermediate pressure depending on the degree of superheat of the refrigerant, thereby improving the stability and performance of the system.

  • Publication number: 20080053121
    Abstract: A water-cooled air conditioner includes a first heat exchanger where indoor air is heat-exchanged with refrigerant, a compressor for compressing the refrigerant, an accumulator that is installed adjacent to the compressor to filter off liquid-phase refrigerant so that only gas-phase refrigerant can be introduced into the compressor, a plate-shaped second heat exchanger where the refrigerant compressed by the compressor is heat-exchanged with the water, and a refrigerant bypassing unit that selectively operates to allow a portion of the refrigerant compressed in the compressor to be directly returned to the second heat exchanger.
