Patent number: 11480349Abstract: An outdoor unit of an air conditioner includes a compressor that compresses a first refrigerant introduced from an indoor unit of the air conditioner and a condenser that condenses the first refrigerant compressed by the compressor. A first driving circuit drives the compressor and a second driving circuit regulates a voltage of the first driving circuit. A cooling unit includes: a heat dissipation member that comes into thermal contact with the first driving circuit and the second driving circuit, and a refrigerant pipe that is provided in the heat dissipation member, and has a path along which a second refrigerant moves through the first driving circuit and the second driving circuit. As a result, it is possible to efficiently cool the first driving circuit and the second driving circuit.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2018Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Wan-soo Yang, Tae-woo Kang, Sung-tae Kim, Seong-hwan Jang, Wang-byung Chae, Jei-min Choi

Patent number: 9574999Abstract: Provided are an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that detects snow that piles up on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and a method of controlling the same. When a detection device is installed in the outdoor unit and snow piles up in a snow cover detection area included in the detection device, it is detected using an optical sensor whether snow cover occurs. A value detected by the optical sensor is transmitted to a controller, and the controller compares the value with a default value, and when the controller receives a value different from the default value, the controller controls a fan driving unit to drive a fan. Wind generated by driving the fan removes snow that piles up in the snow cover detection area, a fan guard and a discharge port to prevent the fan from malfunctioning due to accumulated snow.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tae Woo Kang, Han Suk Lee, Wang Byung Chae
