  • Patent number: 9810463
    Abstract: An integrated air conditioning system includes an indirect outdoor air cooler having a first heat exchanger for passing through indoor air as warm air, a second heat exchanger for passing through outdoor air, and piping and a pump for circulating a fluid through the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger; an air conditioner having an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser, for passing the indoor air to convert to cold air; a fan for passing the outdoor air through the second heat exchanger and the condenser; and a control device. The control device sets any mode from among a first mode for performing an individual operation of the indirect outdoor air cooler, a second mode for performing an individual operation of the air conditioner, or a third mode for performing a combined operation of the air conditioner and the indirect outdoor air cooler, to a current operation mode.

  • Publication number: 20130283837
    Abstract: An air conditioning system using outdoor air has a first heat exchanger, an evaporator, a condenser, and a first fan disposed on the interior side; and a second heat exchanger and a second fan disposed on the exterior side. An expansion valve and a compressor are further provided. An air conditioner has a first piping connected to the evaporator, the condenser, the expansion valve, and the compressor, for circulating a first refrigerant to perform a compression-type refrigeration cycle. An indirect outdoor air cooler has a second piping connected to the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger for circulating a second refrigerant to induce a heat exchange in the first heat exchanger between the second refrigerant and the indoor, and to induce a heat exchange in the second heat exchanger between the outdoor air and the second refrigerant.

  • Publication number: 20130269385
    Abstract: An air conditioning system for utilizing outdoor air to cool an interior space has a rack for mounting a heating element, a unitized air conditioning device having a pair of unit portions including an interior unit and an exterior unit, and a partition wall disposed between the interior and exterior units. The unitized air conditioning device is disposed so that an air supply face of the interior unit faces an air inlet face of the rack. The exterior unit includes a first fan and a first heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the outdoor air and a refrigerant. The interior unit includes a second heat exchanger for exchanging heat between returning air and the refrigerant to generate cool air, and a second fan. The unitized air conditioning device includes a piping connected to the first heat exchanger and second heat exchanger for circulating the refrigerant.
