Abstract:
Disclosed is an air-conditioning apparatus using a heat pipe. The state of the outside air is compared with the state of set supply air. The heat exchange and mixed supply of outside air and ventilation air are effectively performed by changing the passage of the ventilation air and the outside air through the selective opening/shutting of dampers, cooling the outside air through latent heat by spraying mist, and by controlling supply air in a set state through the cooling and humidification of the supply air. Accordingly, energy efficiency can be improved and the energy necessary for the air-conditioning apparatus can be reduced using the evaporation latent heat of water. Furthermore, operation costs can be reduced and financial gains can be obtained because an efficient operation can be performed in response to the state of a measured outside air.

Claim (Index 1):
An air-conditioning apparatus using a heat pipe, comprising:\n a ventilation block providing a passage through which ventilation air (RA) introduced from indoors flows; an air exhaust block having one end connected to the ventilation block and providing a passage through which exhaust air (EA) discharged to an outside flows; an air supply block providing a passage through which supply air (SA) supplied indoors flows; an outside air block having one end connected to the air supply block and providing a passage through which outside air (OA) introduced from the outside flows; a first heat exchange block comprising a condensation unit of a heat pipe, connected to the outside air block and the air exhaust block, changing outside air introduced through the outside air block into exhaust air through the heat pipe, and discharging the changed exhaust air to the air exhaust block; and a second heat exchange block comprising an evaporation unit of the heat pipe, connected to the ventilation block and the air supply block, changing ventilation air introduced through the ventilation block into supply air through the heat pipe, and discharging the changed supply air to the air supply block, wherein the second heat exchange block selectively discharges the ventilation air introduced through the ventilation block into the air supply block, mixes the ventilation air and the outside air, changes the mixed ventilation air and outside air into supply air, and supplies the supply air.
