  • Publication number: 20170010006
    Abstract: A dehumidification system according to an exemplary embodiment of the inventive concept performs dehumidification of indoor air without power waste and condensation heat by transferring water molecules of indoor air to the outdoor air through a porous separation membrane filter, thereby minimizing energy consumption. Also, the dehumidification system may perform dehumidification without outdoor air flow into the indoor space, which prevents indoor air temperature change due to outdoor air and inflow of pollutants like fine dust included in outdoor air.

  • Patent number: 9377229
    Abstract: Provided is a broadband heat pump system including: a heat pump module including a plurality of heat pumps that supply hot water with different levels of temperature; a heat source supply module that introduces a heat source from one heat source or selectively introduces a heat source from one or a plurality of heat sources among heat sources with different levels of temperature so as to produce a heat source with a desired temperature; and a controller that controls the heat pump module and the heat source supply module to select one from the plurality of heat pumps to be appropriate to a temperature of hot water requested by a demand source and to receive a heat source with a necessary temperature from the heat source supply module so that the selected heat pump is able to supply hot water with the requested temperature.

  • Patent number: 9297560
    Abstract: A dehumidifier for a compressor, including: a plurality of dehumidifying members that absorb moisture; and a flow passage controlling valve module that enables a low-temperature vapor refrigerant to alternately flow into the plurality of dehumidifying members and enables the low-temperature refrigerant to flow into a compressor in a state where moisture contained in the low-temperature refrigerant is absorbed and is removed, enables a high-temperature vapor refrigerant ejected from the compressor to alternately flow into the dehumidifying members and regenerates the dehumidifying members. Thus, since a liquid-state absorbent contained in a refrigerant flowing into the compressor is removed by the dehumidifier, damage caused by liquid compression and corrosion of the compressor can be reduced. In addition, the structure of the dehumidifier is simple, and an additional external heating source is not required.

  • Publication number: 20150204590
    Abstract: A variable volume receiver for a refrigerating cycle, according to the present invention, can adjust the capacity of storing a refrigerant according to changes in driving conditions, such as outside air temperature or a load-side temperature, and can secure a proper degree of sub-cooling even when the driving conditions change, thereby providing the advantage of enabling optimum driving regardless of changes in the outside air temperature or the load-side temperature.

  • Patent number: 8646272
    Abstract: There is provided a Rankine cycle system which generates electricity by using heat as an energy source, in which a conventional pump for carrying a working fluid is not used, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing the Rankine cycle system, saving the electric power consumed to operate the pump and therefore obtaining a greater output of power, and in which a control system is used to automatically operate the Rankine cycle system, thereby enabling to stably operate the Rankine cycle system even though a heat source is intermittently supplied.
