  • Publication number: 20190242604
    Abstract: A method and device for defrosting an air conditioner. The method comprises the following steps: detecting a refrigerant pressure of a heat exchange; obtaining, according to the detected refrigerant pressure of the heat exchange, a corresponding saturation temperature; obtaining an ambient dew point temperature; and when the corresponding saturation temperature is less than 0° C. and less than the ambient dew point temperature, controlling the air conditioner to enter a defrost mode. The method can ensure timely defrosting when frost is formed, prevent defrosting when no frost is formed, extending a service life of an air conditioner.

  • Patent number: 9920949
    Abstract: In an air conditioning system of the present disclosure, the controlling module determines state of the indoor unit. If the indoor unit is under off state, the controlling module determines whether an indoor temperature is smaller than a preset temperature. If yes, the controlling module controls the indoor unit to heat according to a first heating temperature. If the indoor unit is under heating state, the controlling module sets a second heating temperature of the indoor unit to the first heating temperature, and controls the indoor unit to heat according to the first heating temperature. The first heating temperature is smaller than the second heating temperature. If the indoor unit is under cooling state, the controlling module sets a first cooling temperature to a second cooling temperature which is greater than the first cooling temperature, and controls the indoor unit to cool according to the second cooling temperature.
