Description

1 TARIFF AN INDOOR AIR CONDITIONING UNIT CONTAINING A HUMIDITY SENSOR. This invention relates to an air conditioning indoor unit that incorporates a humidity sensor on its housing. An air conditioner's indoor unit is designed to cool or heat the ambient air. The air, Air is drawn into the unit through the air inlet and into the evaporator (heat exchanger) located there. It passes through. During this process, the evaporator transfers heat from the incoming air to the refrigerant gas. It absorbs (in cooling mode) or heats (in heating mode) through the evaporator. After the passing air reaches the desired temperature, it is blown by the fan in the unit, air 10 It is distributed throughout the room via the outlet. This process controls the ambient temperature, achieving the desired level. It ensures the comfort level. The humidity sensor used in the indoor unit of the air conditioner measures the relative humidity of the environment. It helps optimize the air conditioner's operating mode by measuring the humidity level. This The sensor, especially during the cooling process, detects humidity, making the air conditioning system more effective. It provides feedback to perform a dehumidification process. However, the humidity sensor's 15 If not positioned correctly, the humidity levels it detects may not reflect the environment. It may not reflect the actual humidity level. For example, the sensor may not reflect the actual humidity level if the airflow is too dense. If placed in an area where there is excessive moisture accumulation, the measurements will show Deviations can occur. This can cause the air conditioner to work more than necessary or insufficiently. It reduces energy efficiency by causing the dehumidification process to occur, and the environment becomes 20 It negatively affects comfort. For the sensor to function correctly, it must represent the overall environment. Positioning it at a crucial point is of vital importance. In the European patent EP1431676 B1, which is included in the known state of the art, air A humidity sensor is positioned on the heat exchanger so that it faces the inlet port. The text describes an indoor unit of an air conditioner. European patent number EP4273463 A1, which is included in the prior art. in the application, around the heat exchanger and close to the air outlet port This describes an indoor air conditioner unit equipped with two humidity sensors. 30 2 The goal of this invention is to create an air conditioner that can accurately and reliably detect humidity levels in the environment.
