Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of air conditioning devices, and particularly relates to an improvement of a structure of an air conditioning device with a humidity adjusting function.
Background
Air conditioning devices are increasingly being used in everyday life. In order to meet the increasing demands of people for comfort in life, air conditioning apparatuses are designed to perform more and more functions, for example, air conditioning apparatuses having a humidifying function are designed for occasions having higher air humidity requirements.
In an air conditioning apparatus having a humidifying function, including a heat exchanger and a humidifying assembly including a water tank and a humidifying element (e.g., a humidifying membrane), water is supplied from the water tank to the humidifying element, and water in the humidifying element is entrained into air as the air flows through the humidifying element, so that the air can be humidified. The humidifying assembly also includes a water inlet valve through which water can be replenished to the water tank.
In the conventional air conditioner having a humidity control function, a heat exchanger and a humidifying element are sequentially arranged along a flow direction of air, and the air is humidified by passing through the heat exchanger and then entering the humidifying element. The water tank, the water inlet valve, and the like of the humidification module are arranged side by side with the heat exchanger in a direction orthogonal to the flow direction of the air. As a result, a part of the space originally used for disposing the heat exchanger is occupied, resulting in a shortened length of the heat exchanger, and thus, the overall heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner is deteriorated.
In addition, in the air conditioner having such a structure, the length of the heat exchanger is short, which results in a difference in humidification effect. In general, the applicant has noted that the humidification of the portion of the humidifying element opposite the tank is less effective than the humidification of the portion of the humidifying element opposite the heat exchanger.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for further improvements in air conditioning units having humidification capabilities to improve the heat exchange efficiency and humidification effectiveness of the unit.
