    摘要: An air conditioner and a method for controlling an air conditioner are provided that efficiently inject a refrigerant into a compressor. The air conditioner may include a compressor to compress a refrigerant; a condenser to condense the refrigerant compressed at the compressor; an evaporator to evaporate the refrigerant condensed at the condenser; and an injection module to selectively or simultaneously inject some or a portion of the refrigerant flowing from the condenser to the evaporator into a high pressure side and a low pressure side of the compressor.

    摘要: A scroll compressor and an air conditioner including a scroll compressor are provided. The scroll compressor may include a main frame configured to support an upper portion of a rotating shaft; a fixed scroll coupled to the main frame and having a first wrap; an orbiting scroll provided to perform an orbiting motion with respect to the fixed scroll and having a second wrap which forms a plurality of compressions chamber between the first wrap and the second wrap; a suction port configured to enable a first refrigerant to be suctioned into the compression chamber; a first introduction port provided at a first side of the fixed scroll and configured to inject the first refrigerant into the plurality of compression chambers; a second introduction port provided at a second side of the fixed scroll and configured to inject a second refrigerant having a pressure different from a pressure of the first refrigerant into the plurality of compression chambers; and a third introduction port provided at a third side of the fixed scroll and configured to inject a third refrigerant having a pressure different from the pressure of the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant into the compression chamber. The first introduction port may be provided at a position at which injecting of the refrigerant through the first introduction port is able to be performed before suctioning of the refrigerant through the suction port is completed.

    摘要: An air conditioner may include an outdoor unit including a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger configured to heat exchange compressed refrigerant; an indoor unit having an air inlet and an air outlet and connected with the outdoor unit through a first pipe through which refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows and a second pipe through which refrigerant discharged from the outdoor heat exchanger flows; a blowing fan disposed in the indoor unit; a main heat exchanger configured to heat exchange air, which flows inside through the air inlet, and connected with the second pipe; a reheat exchanger disposed downstream of the main heat exchanger and connected with the first pipe; and a waste heat exchanger disposed upstream of the main heat exchanger and configured to heat-exchange air, which flows inside through the air inlet, and condensate water, which is produced at the main heat exchanger, with each other. Accordingly, air flowing inside through the air inlet is primarily cooled before exchanging heat through the main heat exchanger, whereby the cooling and dehumidifying performance is improved.

    摘要: An air conditioner and a method for controlling an air conditioner are provided that inject a refrigerant into a compressor to perform a defrosting operation. The air conditioner may include a compressor; an outdoor heat exchanger; an indoor heat exchanger; a first injection module that injects a refrigerant flowing from the indoor heat exchanger to the outdoor heat exchanger into the compressor during a heating operation and that does not inject a refrigerant flowing from the outdoor heat exchanger to the indoor heat exchanger into the compressor during a defrosting operation; and a second injection module that injects a refrigerant flowing from the indoor heat exchanger to the outdoor heat exchanger into the compressor during the heating operation and that injects a refrigerant flowing from the outdoor heat exchanger to the indoor heat exchanger into the compressor during the defrosting operation.
