Abstract:
A door of a refrigerator includes a front panel formed of a metal material, a display unit including a display portion which is disposed at a rear side of the front panel and on which operating information of the refrigerator is displayed when the display portion becomes bright or dark, and a plurality of through holes formed in a region of the front panel corresponding to the display portion. Although the display unit is hidden inside the door, information displayed on the display unit can be seen to a user through the plurality of through holes.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes an outdoor unit having a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, and a flowpath switching valve disposed on a refrigerant flowpath between the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger, a plurality of indoor units configured to operate in a cooling mode or in a heating mode, a mode controller configured to selectively guide refrigerant received from the outdoor unit to the plurality of indoor units. The mode controller guiding the refrigerant through one or more of: a first refrigerant pipe extending from the flowpath switching valve to the mode control unit, a second refrigerant pipe extending from the flowpath switching valve and diverging to the outdoor heat exchanger, and to the mode control unit, and a third refrigerant pipe extending from the outdoor heat exchanger to the mode controller.
Abstract:
An air conditioner includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet, and a discharge plate having a plurality of holes disposed adjacent to the outlet, a heat exchanger disposed within said housing, a blowing fan for blowing air exchanged with the heat exchanger; and a shutter movably provided to close at least one of a first path through which air blown by the blowing fan flows to the outlet and a second path that flows to the discharge plate.
Abstract:
The air conditioner includes a housing having an outlet, a heat exchanger disposed within the housing, a fan for blowing air exchanged with the heat exchanger toward the outlet, a first position for opening the outlet and a second position for covering the outlet and a door including a plurality of holes for discharging air out of the housing at the second position. The air blowing method of the air discharged from the air conditioner may be different.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a refrigerator having a body, storage compartments, and a door that opens/closes the storage compartments and comprises a front panel formed of a metal plate material, through holes being formed in the front panel, the method including forming the through holes in the front panel by performing an etching or laser process; and filling a filler member in the through holes so that foreign substances are prevented from permeating an internal space of the through holes.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes a housing including an inlet and an outlet; an discharge duct connected to the outlet, and configured to guide air discharged from the outlet to an indoor space, a blow fan assembly disposed in the inside of the housing such that a rotating shaft of the blow fan assembly extends in a vertical direction, and configured to inhale air in the vertical direction in which the rotating shaft extends and to discharge the air in a radial direction, and a heat exchanger extending along a part of a circumference of the blow fan assembly, and including a bending portion.
Abstract:
An appliance for dehumidification, with a body having an inflow unit and an outflow unit; a heat-exchanging apparatus to condense vapor in the air; a fan to forcedly move the air; a tray to collect condensation water descending from a cooling apparatus; a water container detachably provided at an upper portion of the body to store the condensation water; a pump to pump the condensation water from the tray to the water container; and a drain pipe to guide the condensation water from the pump to the water container. The water container may be easily separated from the appliance to empty the water container when the water container is full, and then the water container may be easily mounted again.
