AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing air conditioners experience a decrease in heating performance during defrosting operation and cannot evenly distribute the flow between the condenser and evaporator, resulting in a shorter continuous operating time.

Method used

It employs multiple outdoor heat exchangers and independent air supply fan drive control, combined with the design of four-way valves and three-way valves, to achieve simultaneous heating and defrosting operation, and controls the drive of the air supply fan according to the refrigerant temperature.

Benefits of technology

It improves defrosting efficiency and heating performance, shortens defrosting time, and ensures the continuous operation and heat exchange performance of the air conditioner.
