Abstract
An air conditioner includes an evaporator, an expansion valve, a compressor, an evaporative condenser through which refrigerant is circulated; a water injection module; a blower module; and a controller controlling an operation of the blower module, in which the blower module sucks in air from an outside and dries the evaporative condenser, and the controller determines revolutions per second (RPS) of the compressor according to an outside temperature and controls the operations of the compressor and the blower module based on whether a target voltage for adjusting RPS of the blower module is achieved.
Claims12
An air conditioner comprising:
- an evaporator, an expansion valve, a compressor, an evaporative condenser through which refrigerant is circulated;
- a water injection module injecting water into the evaporative condenser;
- a blower module drying the evaporative condenser;
- and
- a controller controlling an operation of the blower module,
- wherein the blower module sucks in air from an outside and dries the evaporative condenser, and
- the controller determines revolutions per second (RPS) of the compressor according to an outside temperature and controls the operations of the compressor and the blower module based on whether a target voltage for adjusting RPS of the blower module is achieved.
A method for drying an evaporative condenser of an air conditioner performed by a computing device including a processor and a storage medium on which one or more programs configured to be executed by the processor is recorded, the method comprising:
- confirming whether an operating time of a compressor is greater than or equal to a preset reference time when water injection is blocked due to reaching a preset temperature;
- setting revolutions per second (RPS) of the compressor according to an outside temperature;
- determining whether a voltage (VSP) controlling a rotational speed of a blower module reaches a preset target voltage;
- and
- controlling operations of the compressor and the blower module based on whether the voltage reaches the target voltage.
