  • Patent number: 10443885
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10119553
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9964330
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9611860
    Abstract: A centrifugal fan and an air conditioner using the same are provided. A gurney flap having a rectangular plate or a S-shaped, twisted gurney flap may be formed in a tip of a blade provided in or on a hub of the centrifugal fan, so that noise may be effectively reduced, and efficiency increased. Further, the blade with the gurney flap may be easily formed integrally with the hub, enhancing productivity.
