Abstract: Disclosed is a refrigerator including an ultrathin wall type insulating wall having a reduced thickness while maintaining insulating performance, so as to increase the capacity of a storage chamber. A vacuum insulating material is disposed inside the insulating wall so as to ensure the insulating performance of the insulating wall, and a foam material, in the portion in which the vacuum insulating material is not disposed, is disposed to be thicker than a foam material in the portion in which the vacuum insulating wall is disposed, such that the insulating wall, which maintains insulating performance while maintaining the insulating wall having an overall ultrathin shape, can be formed.

Abstract: A washing machine includes a tub; a drum rotatably disposed inside the tub; and an ultrasound generator configured to emit ultrasonic waves to washing water loaded in the drum, and to generate bubbles. The ultrasound generator applies ultrasonic energy to the washing water to cause chaotic oscillation of the bubbles.

Abstract: A full front blowing type air conditioner is disclosed. The disclosed full front blowing type air conditioner includes a case of which a heat exchanger is disposed in an inner side; and a blower module disposed in rear of the heat exchanger in the case, and configured to discharge a pulse jet for blowing through a front face of the case. The blowing module changes air pressure of a cavity formed between at least one pair of piezoelectric diaphragms and discharges the pulse jet to a side of the heat exchanger according to periodic deformation of the pair of piezoelectric diaphragms to opposite phases to each other.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an air conditioning apparatus having an airflow controlling device including: a case having at least one surface provided with an outlet through which cold airflow is discharged; and a pair of sliding doors installed on the case to be able to cover the outlet and formed to be able to control an open area of the outlet.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a water softening apparatus including an electrosorption unit to adsorb foreign matter contained in water with electrical attraction, a preprocessing unit having a preprocessing chamber which is connected with an external water supply source and is provided with a filter to filter out foreign matter contained in water transferred from the external water supply source, and a cleaning solution supply unit having a cleaning solution storage chamber which stores a cleaning solution to be supplied to the electrosorption unit. Since any one of the water transferred from the preprocessing unit and the cleaning solution transferred from the cleaning solution supply unit is selectively transferred to the electrosorption unit by a valve, a pump to inject the cleaning solution and the like are unnecessary.

Abstract: A method to control the sleep operation of an air conditioner is provided. The method includes determining whether or not a sleep operation is activated and sequentially performing a plurality of sub-modes of the sleep operation when the sleep operation is activated.

Abstract: A compressor controlling apparatus including a bypass unit connected between an outlet and an inlet of the compressor and a control unit. The control unit reduces pressure difference between the outlet and the inlet of the compressor by the bypass unit to start the compressor when the compressor is to be started. The compressor is started while pressure equilibrium is achieved by the bypass unit, thereby preventing poor start-up of the compressor caused due to excessive pressure difference, and thus improving reliability of the compressor.
