Abstract
An air conditioning apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a main body including a suction part through which air is suctioned and a discharge part through which the air suctioned through the suction part is discharged, a fan disposed in the main body to allow the air to flow, an electric charge device coupled to the main body outside the main body to charge dust in the air, and a filter device disposed between the suction part and the discharge part in the main body to collect the charged dust particles.
Claims18
An air conditioner, comprising:
- a body including a suction grille having a suction opening through which air is suctioned, the suction grille being provided at a top of the body;
- a fan provided in the body;
- an electric charge device configured to charge foreign substances in the air being suctioned through the suction opening;
- and
- wherein the electric charge device includes:
- a housing having an opening;
- and
- an electric charge part provided inside the housing and including an electrode to generate ions,
- wherein the housing is positioned vertically above the suction grille to allow the ions from the electrode to spread towards an outside of the suction grille through the opening of the housing,
- wherein the opening of the housing is positioned outside the body.
An air conditioner, comprising:
- a body including a suction grille having a suction opening through which air is suctioned, the suction opening provided at a top of the body;
- a fan provided in the body;
- an electric charge device configured to charge foreign substances in the air being suctioned through the suction opening;
- and
- wherein the electric charge device includes:
- a housing;
- and
- an electric charge part provided inside the housing and including at least one electrode to generate ions,
- wherein the housing includes an opening through which the ions from the electrode pass, and
- wherein the opening of the housing is positioned vertically above the suction opening to allow the ions from the electrode to diffuse towards an outside of the suction grille,
- wherein the housing is positioned outside the suction grille.
An air conditioner, comprising:
- a body including a suction grille having a suction opening through which air is suctioned;
