Abstract
Description
- In the air conditioning sector, atmospheric air conditioners are known in which the evaporator assembly is physically separated from the condenser assembly, which is located outside, the connection between the two assemblies being made by a pair of semi-rigid pipes able to resist high pressure, through which a refrigerant fluid, normally a synthetic organic chloro-fluoro carbon or briefly CFC compound known as freon, is circulated by a compressor.
- These known air conditioning apparatuses have however limits which do not allow them that versatility of application required of apparatuses which are not of fixed installation and operate only occasionally.
- In this respect, firstly the double CFC-proof pipe forming the connection between the internal evaporator assembly and the external condenser assembly has a length necessarily limited to a few metres, and cannot be longer because of excessive pressure drop.
- In addition the temporary removal of this connection, for example to allow easy passage of the pipes, is complicated and difficult to achieve by the non-expert, and generally results in loss of refrigerant gas.
- Because such pipes must be gas-tight under pressure, this connection is made with spiral tubes which cannot accept small-radius bends. These tubes are also rather costly.
- Finally, the condensate formed on the evaporator has either to be collected by inconvenient trays or evacuated through a specific pipe, which complicates installation.
- The object of the present invention is to obviate these drawbacks.
- This object is achieved by an air conditioning apparatus in which the evaporator assembly and the condenser assembly form part of one and the same unit and are permanently connected together, the heat generated by the condenser assembly being dissipated by a gas/water heat exchanger through which water circulates and is cooled in a water/air heat exchanger located in a separate unit. The connection between the unit comprising the evaporator and condenser and said separate unit is made by normal very flexible rubber hoses which adapt without difficulty to the geometry of the rooms (and relative furniture). It also enables the two units to be disconnected and then reconnected by merely disconnecting and reconnecting the water hoses and electric cables, without therefore resulting in refrigerant gas loss.
- The further object of externally evacuating the condensate which forms on the evaporator without using specific additional piping for it is achieved by forming in the air conditioning unit comprising the evaporator and condenser a tray for collecting the condensed air moisture which forms on the evaporator, this condensate being discharged into an open-top vessel forming part of the condenser cooling water circuit.
- The invention will be more apparent from the following description of one embodiment thereof, given by way of non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is an isometric view of the invention;
- Figure 2 is a section on the line II-II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the apparatus according to the invention.
- In said figures the reference numeral 1 indicates the unit comprising the
evaporator 101,condenser 102 andrelative compressor 103 andexpansion valve 104, to be installed within the room to be air conditioned and mobile onwheels 6. Thereference numeral 2 indicates the outlet grille for the conditioned air. - The
reference numeral 3 indicates the electrically operated water circulation pump of the condenser cooling circuit, 4 indicates an open-top vessel forming part of said circuit, which comprises the water/refrigerantgas heat exchanger 5, thereference numeral 7 indicates a female socket for electrical connections, and 7' indicates the corresponding plug connected to the multi-coreelectric cable 11. - The
reference numerals 8 and 8' indicate respectively the female and male part of a known sealing connector for water hoses, which can be disconnected and connected at will by a simple operation to secure thedelivery hose return hose 13. - The
reference numeral 10 indicates a flexible multiple duct consisting of a coveringsheath 16 which contains the two saidhoses electric cable 11. - The
reference numeral 14 indicates the second unit comprising the cooling water/air heat exchanger installed outside the room to be conditioned, and 15 indicates the grille through which the air passes. - The
reference numeral 17 indicates a tray positioned below the evaporator (this latter not shown in the figure) and arranged to collect the condensate dripping from the evaporator to then be conveyed into theunderlying vessel 4. - The
reference numeral 18 indicates an electrically operated level controller connected by an electric lead 11' to thesolenoid valve 19, the lead 11' being one of the leads forming part of themulti-core cable 11. - The
reference numeral 21 indicates a pipe which branches from the cooling water circuit to feed via the solenoid valve 19 a spray pipe which sprays water droplets onto the fins of the water/air heat exchanger 22. - Finally, the
reference numeral 23 indicates an electrically driven fan for the forced cooling of saidfinned heat exchanger 22. - The operation is as follows.
- The water circulating through the
circuit heat exchanger 5, which dissipates the heat evolved in the gas condenser of a known refrigeration plant, represented schematically in Figure 3. - Said water, pumped by the
pump 3, then passes through thehose 12 to reach thefinned heat exchanger 22, where it is cooled. - It returns via the
hose 13 to reach thevessel 4. From thevessel 4 it returns to water circulation, drawn by thepump 3. - The condensate from the cooled air, which collects in the
tray 17, results in a level increase in thevessel 4 after a certain time of operation, so that the electrical level controller operates. - The
solenoid valve 19 then opens to remove the excess water from the circuit by spraying it onto the finning of theheat exchanger 22 to cause it to evaporate, given the high temperature of this finning. Hence the normal level is restored in thevessel 4, until further intervention of thelevel controller 18. Thefan 23 is powered via electric lines contained within themulti-core cable 11, so that the electrical system of the entire plant is unified. - The making/breaking of the connection formed by the flexible
multiple duct 10 is very simple, being achieved by inserting/withdrawing theplug 7 and the instant connector parts 8' and 9'. A suitable extension consisting of a portion ofduct 10 with the relative known connectors at its ends can be interposed to thus lengthen by even a considerable length the connection between theunits 1 and 14 as required. - The object of simple connection/disconnection between the two
units 1 and 14 even at a considerable distance apart is hence achieved. - There is also no risk of dispersal of refrigerant gas into the environment as the refrigeration circuit remains undisturbed during the connection/disconnection of the
duct 10. - The object of removing the excess condensate from the cooled air is also achieved by means of the
sprayer 20, with the further advantage of recovering the latent heat of condensation by its evaporation on theheat exchanger bank 22.
