Title:
INDOOR UNIT AND AIR CONDITIONING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/234859
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is preferable to suppress the electric power consumption of a drain pump by reducing the operation time of the drain pump if a generated amount of drain water is small. According to the present invention, an indoor unit (12) is used in an air conditioning device (10) capable of executing a cooling operation by circulating a refrigerant. The indoor unit (12) comprises an indoor heat exchanger (50), a drain pan (57), a drain pump (59), and an indoor controller (92). The indoor heat exchanger (50) exchanges heat between the refrigerant and indoor air. The drain pan (57) receives water generated by the indoor heat exchanger (50). The drain pump (59) suctions up water from the drain pan (57). During execution of the cooling operation, when the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant within the indoor heat exchanger (50) is at or below the dew-point temperature of the indoor air, the indoor controller (92) operates the drain pump (59). During execution of the cooling operation, when the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant is higher than the dew-point temperature, the indoor control unit (92) controls the drain pump (59) so as to have a period in which the drain pump (59) is not operated.
