Patent number: 10443885Abstract: An air handler having a fan module and a separation partition is provided, in which a case panel may be assembled with a plurality of module frames via a considerably simplified sliding coupling providing excellent hermetic sealing. As such, manufacturing costs may be reduced due to reduction in a number of components, and assembly time may be remarkably reduced due to a reduced number of assembly operations. This advantageously results in reduced labor cost and enhanced air conditioning efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2014Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Sangyuk Son, Junhee Lim, Kyungjung Lee

Patent number: 10119553Abstract: A centrifugal fan includes a main plate rotating about an axis of rotation, a shroud having an inlet port for introduction of air, and a plurality of blades circumferentially arranged between the main plate and the shroud so as to form a flow of air by accelerating air introduced through the inlet port. Each blade has a pressure surface formed such that a portion thereof near to the shroud is convex and a portion thereof near to the main plate is concave. The shroud has an inside surface formed as a curved surface, and the curved surface has a diffusion section extending radially. The main plate has a curved surface extending radially, and a curved surface of the shroud in the diffusion section at least partially overlaps with the curved surface formed in the main plate when viewed in a direction of the axis of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Sangyuk Son, Choonmyun Chung, Taeman Yang

Patent number: 9964330Abstract: An air handler which allows modular assembly at a place of manufacture or outside of a building and modular transportation to a machine room of the building where the air handler will be installed, thereby achieving enhanced transportation convenience. In addition, in the air handler, a plurality of case panels may be assembled with a plurality of module frames via considerably simplified sliding coupling, providing excellent hermetic sealing. As such, manufacturing costs may be reduced due to a reduction in a number of components, and assembly time may be remarkably reduced due to a reduced number of assembly operations. This advantageously results in reduced labor costs and enhanced air conditioning efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2014Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Sangyuk Son, Kisuk Bang

Patent number: 9857094Abstract: An air handler and a fan module for an air handier are provided. The fan module may include a plurality of box frames that form a framework of at least one fan box; a plurality of safety nets coupled to the framework of the at least one fan box formed by the plurality of box frames to form surfaces of the at least one fan box; and at least one box frame connector that interconnects neighboring one of the plurality of box frames to form the framework of the at least one fan box, wherein the at least one box frame connector has a fan box connection end configured to assist connection of the neighboring one of the plurality of fan boxes. As such, manufacturing costs may be reduced due to reduction in a number of components, and assembly time may be remarkably reduced due to a reduced number of assembly operations. This advantageously results in reduced labor cost and enhanced air conditioning efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2014Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Sangyuk Son, Daehyuk Kim, Kyungjung Lee
