In the process of heat exchange between the indoor air and the solution in the membrane heat exchanger 2, the solution in the solution layer can absorb moisture in the indoor air or release moisture in the solution to the indoor air, so that humidity adjustment of the indoor air is realized.

In addition, the membrane heat exchanger 2 is provided with a liquid supplementing inlet pipe 25 communicated with the liquid supplementing inlet 215 of each layer of heat exchange unit 21 and a liquid supplementing outlet pipe 26 communicated with the liquid supplementing outlet 216.

For example, fig. 3A shows two water inlet pipes 23 and two water outlet pipes 24, two liquid inlet pipes 25 and two liquid outlet pipes 26, and so on.
Due to the above arrangement, the air conditioner with the membrane heat exchanger 2 is generally provided with a fluid distributor for converging the solution from the plurality of solution supplementing inlet pipes 25 to the solution regenerating device, and dividing the circulated solution from the solution regenerating device to the plurality of solution supplementing inlet pipes 25 and further to the plurality of solution supplementing inlet ports 215 to participate in the circulation of the solution membrane 211.

The advantage that sets up like this is that, integrated into one piece's water conservancy diversion part 1 for other shaping modes, the structure is more simplified, and is better to the liquid seal effect in the groove structure. Of course, the arrangement of the groove structure on the plate-shaped main body 11 is not limited to the integral molding, and the skilled person can also flexibly adjust the arrangement. The groove structure may be formed by processing the plurality of groove structures on the plate-shaped body 11, and then sealing and connecting the plate-shaped body 11 with a cover plate having the same area as the plate-shaped body 11 to form the flow guide member 1. As another example, the groove structure may be formed by machining groove structures at opposite positions on the two plate-shaped bodies 11, and then the two plate-shaped bodies 11 are hermetically butted together to form a complete groove structure.

The first branch inlet 1212 is in communication with a circulating water replenishing device, for example, the first branch inlet 1212 is in communication with a liquid outlet of the circulating water replenishing device through a hard tube or a flexible tube. The two first sub-discharge outlets 1211 are respectively and correspondingly communicated with the two water replenishing inlet pipes 23 on the membrane heat exchanger 2, for example, the two water replenishing inlet pipes 23 are respectively communicated with the two first sub-discharge outlets 1211 by a thread, an adhesive or a welding manner.

The second confluence liquid outlet 1322 is communicated with the solution regeneration device, and the two second confluence liquid inlets 1321 are respectively and correspondingly communicated with the two liquid supplementing outlet pipes 26 on the membrane heat exchanger 2. Under the condition of good communication, the membrane heat exchanger 2, the flow guide component 1 and the solution regeneration device form a complete cycle, namely, the flow guide component 1 converges the solutions of the two liquid supplementing liquid outlet pipes 26 of the membrane heat exchanger 2 into a main flow flowing to the solution regeneration device, after the solutions are circularly regenerated by the solution regeneration device, the flow guide component 1 divides the solution of the main flow into two sub-flows which are respectively distributed to the two liquid supplementing liquid inlet pipes 25, and then the regenerated solution returns to the two liquid supplementing liquid outlet pipes 26 through the flow in the solution membrane 211 to continuously participate in the cycle.

The two first branch inlets 1211 are disposed corresponding to the positions of the two water inlet tubes 23 (e.g., substantially coaxial positions), and the first branch inlet 1212 is disposed near the corner. The two first confluence liquid inlets 1311 are disposed corresponding to the positions of the two water replenishing water outlets 24 (e.g., substantially coaxial positions), and the first confluence liquid outlet 1312 is disposed near the unfilled corner.

The advantage of this arrangement is that, firstly, the pipe arrangement between the membrane heat exchanger 2 and the flow guide member 1 can be reduced to the maximum extent by arranging the liquid inlet/outlet on the flow guide member 1, which is connected with the membrane heat exchanger 2, and the corresponding pipe of the membrane heat exchanger 2 at approximately the same position, thereby simplifying the structure of the indoor unit and reducing the thickness of the indoor unit. Secondly, the mode that the liquid inlet/outlet that is connected with circulation moisturizing device and solution regenerating unit on water conservancy diversion part 1 all sets up near the unfilled corner for the circulation moisturizing device of indoor set and off-premises station and solution regenerating unit connecting line can stretch out the indoor set from the unfilled corner part simultaneously, so, not only make the arrangement of pipeline in the indoor set more convenient, make the inner structure of indoor set more neat, but also reduced the opening of indoor set, be favorable to the unified arrangement of the connecting line of indoor set and off-premises station. Of course, the above-mentioned preferred embodiments are only used for explaining the principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can understand that any possible arrangement positions of the first flow dividing structure 121, the second flow dividing structure 122, the first flow converging structure 131, and the second flow converging structure 132 on the plate-shaped main body 11, and any possible arrangement positions of the above-mentioned liquid inlet and outlet in the flow dividing structure and the flow converging structure should fall into the protection scope of the present invention.
Further preferably, the guide member 1 may be further provided with an exhaust port (not shown) for exhausting excess gas remaining in the cooling water, so that the cooling water can be better circulated. If the highest point of the first shunting structure 121 is provided with a water outlet and is externally connected with a water drain pipe and a water drain valve, the gas in the cooling water is discharged out of the indoor unit. Of course, the arrangement of the water outlet is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and those skilled in the art can also flexibly adjust the water outlet based on the actual application scenario, as long as the arrangement position of the water outlet is at the highest point of the diversion unit 12 or the diversion part 1.
