Split-type room air conditioner
Abstract
This split-type room air conditioner absorbs the advantages of
current split air conditioner and room air conditioner models. Our
innovation makes it possible for a split air conditioner to be used
in apartments and condominiums. We improved both air conditioner
unit disadvantages. For example, a split air conditioner indoor
unit is very flexible so that you can hang it up in the right place
to get a good cooling balance, but the outdoor unit has a big size
and is not feasible as a typical room air conditioner. And room air
conditioners have a good size to fit pre-constructed apertures and
window places, but only can be put in limited places (low level
places), thus creating a cooling imbalance in the room and making
too much noise. We did technological innovations to combine the
advantages of both type air conditioners. We reduced the outdoor
unit size thickness by 1/3. We have enhanced the cooling speed and
reduced the noise level (db) of our room unit. We have already made
a sample of such a split room air conditioner.

Claims
1. We want to bring split room air conditioners into apartment
buildings and condominiums. We can supply this new product to
consumers. The goal is that customers will have more choice and an
enhanced quality of life. This air conditioner absorbs the
advantages of current split air conditioners and room air
conditioner models. We improved on the disadvantages of both types
of air conditioners. For example, a split air conditioner condenser
unit (outdoor unit) has a big size and is not feasible as a room
air conditioner. And room air conditioners can only be put in
limited places (low level places), thus cooling only one room,
creating a cooling imbalance in the dwelling and making too much
noise. We did technological innovations to combine the advantages
of both type air conditioners. Our innovation makes it possible for
a split air conditioner to be used in apartments and condominiums.
We have already made a sample of such a split room air conditioner.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] We studied current room air conditioners so that we could
make technological innovations. We took away the evaporator coil,
evaporator fans, and various electrical controls to reduce the
thickness of a typical room air conditioner by 1/3. We kept the
condenser unit parts to successfully connect split air conditioner
indoor units.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This split-type room air conditioner absorbs the advantages
of current split air conditioner and room air conditioner models.
We improved both air conditioner disadvantages. For example, a
split air conditioner condenser unit (outdoor unit) has a big size
and is not feasible as a typical room air conditioner. And room air
conditioners can only be put in limited places (low level places),
thus cooling only one room, creating a cooling imbalance in the
dwelling and making too much noise.
[0003] We did technological innovations to combine the advantages
of both type air conditioners and take away the disadvantages. On
the one hand, we decreased the size of the condenser unit (outdoor
unit) of the split air conditioner. Our innovation makes it
possible for a split air conditioner to be used in apartments and
condominiums. We have already made a sample of such a split room
air conditioner. In addition, we have enhanced the cooling speed
and reduced the noise level of our window air conditioner.
[0004] How can we bring a split air conditioner into apartment
buildings and condominiums? A split air conditioner has two
systems. One is called the indoor unit (evaporator unit), another
one is called the outdoor unit (condenser unit). We improved
traditional design by making the outdoor unit smaller than other
models of the same BTU capacity. We took air conditioner condenser
units and took away evaporator units to reduce the thickness of a
typical room air conditioner by 1/3. We put one condenser unit in
the front and another one in the rear between the condenser units.
We set one condenser fan to make prompt and efficient cooling and
save power. You can easily and safely install in the room or a
pre-Constructed aperture because most walls are thicker than our
unit. Also, we used sound insulation board to cover it. You cannot
see the outdoor unit (it does not stick out) from inside the room,
thereby saving space and looking beautiful. We successfully
connected split air conditioner indoor units with outdoor units to
make the split room air conditioner into a new product. By the way,
it has a lower cost than a traditional central air conditioner.
[0005] In summary, we can bring a split air conditioner into
apartment buildings and condominiums which lack central air
conditioning. We can supply this new product to consumers. The goal
is that customers will have more choice and an enhanced quality of
life.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0006] We innovated traditional room air conditioners. We kept the
room air conditioner condenser unit including motor compressor,
condenser unit, condenser fan, fan motor, starter, running
capacitors, starting relay, filter, capillary tube, accumulator and
necessary wiring. We took away the evaporator unit including the
evaporator fan, grille, air filter, vent door and electrical
control parts. We made a special outdoor unit by reducing the
thickness of a traditional or typical room air conditioner by 1/3.
We put one condenser unit in the front and another one in the rear
between the condenser units. We used a condenser fan to make prompt
and efficient cooling and save power. You can easily and safely
install in the window or a pre-constructed aperture because most
walls are thicker than our unit. Also, we used sound insulation
board to cover it to decrease noise level (db). You cannot see the
outdoor unit (it does not stick out) from inside the room, thereby
saving space and looking beautiful. We used liquid line, suction
line and power line to connect split air conditioner indoor units.
Indoor units have an evaporator unit, blower motor, blower fan,
main computer board and thermostat, and also have a remote control,
timer switch, and auto fan, etc. By the way, it has a much lower
cost than a central air conditioner.
