Abstract (en)

[origin: US2006070719A1] An air conditioner comprises: at least one outdoor unit having a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger; an air process unit including a heat exchanger connected to the outdoor unit by a refrigerant pipe, in which the air is heat exchanged, and a blower fan blowing the heat exchanged air; and a duct having one side connected to the air process unit and another side connected to a plurality of rooms, and introducing to the room, the air blown after heat exchange. Accordingly, the refrigerant pipe is shortened, which reduces a pressure loss and a head loss. Also, oil discharged outside of the compressor together with the compressor refrigerant is easily recovered, and the amount of accumulated refrigerant is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of suffocation due to leakage of a refrigerant.
