Development of air-conditioner is facing a series of challenges, e.g. energy saving and utilization, quality and comfort level of indoor air, introduction of green standards medium, environmental protection, and cost and function of air-conditioner. Research has been focused on high-efficiency, energy-saving, and environmental friendly air-conditioning worldwide.
