Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an air conditioner with an interior module provided in the room to be air-conditioned with a first heat exchanger and an outdoor module functionally connected to the indoor module via connecting lines, such as electrical lines, a refrigerant line or the like, which is provided outside the room to be air-conditioned in the outside atmosphere is.
  • the outdoor module has a blower with blower blades for generating an air flow directed towards a second heat exchanger and a bottom provided below the blower for collecting dripping condensate water, in which an outlet opening is provided through which the collected condensed water can flow off the bottom.
  • a generic air conditioner is known from EP 1660517.
  • the air conditioner has an indoor module in a room to be air-conditioned and an outdoor module provided in the outside atmosphere.
  • a condenser is provided in the outdoor module, which is cooled with condensation water to increase the output.
  • the condensation water dripping from the condenser collects in a collecting container, which can be emptied via a closable outlet opening.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner that works reliably regardless of the climatic conditions in the outside atmosphere.
  • a heating element is provided on the bottom of the outer module, which prevents ice formation of the condensed water collected on the bottom by heating the bottom to a temperature above the water freezing temperature. This eliminates the risk of ice forming below the fan blades if the outside temperature is low. This prevents contact between the fan blades and ice formed on the ground - which affects the operation of the air conditioner.
  • the heating element can be designed as an electrical resistance heater in a particularly simple and inexpensive manner. So that the functionality of the resistance heating is not impaired, the resistance heating can be arranged on an underside of the outdoor module base.
  • the heating element is assigned a sensor which switches on the heating element if there is a risk of ice forming on the floor.
  • the heating element is therefore switched on in an energy-saving manner only when there is a risk of ice formation.
  • the senor can be designed as an outside temperature sensor which switches on the heating element at an outside temperature in the range of the water freezing temperature.
  • the bottom of the outside module located in the outside atmosphere is formed with a separating agent which divides the bottom into two bottom sections.
  • a first bottom section directs the draining off condensate to an outlet opening of the outdoor module.
  • the second bottom section is located below the fan blades.
  • the release agent prevents condensation from accumulating in the second bottom section below the fan blades.
  • the heating element is also assigned to the second floor section. Should water nevertheless collect in the second floor section, ice formation in the second floor section is prevented by the heating element.
  • the separating means is designed as a dividing wall which separates the first bottom section from the second bottom section. This reliably prevents the condensed water from collecting below the fan blades.
  • the separating means can be designed as an elevation which protrudes from the first bottom section. An upper side of the elevation forms the second bottom section below the fan blades.
  • the second base section is also connected to the outlet opening. If necessary, condensate dripping onto the second floor section can thus be discharged via the outlet opening.
  • the outflow of the condensed water from the first or from the second bottom section by means of gravity can be improved by the bottom sections falling at an angle, in particular 2 °, towards the outlet opening.
  • the overall height of the fan in the outdoor module can be significantly reduced.
  • An outer circumferential line of the fan blades of the fan can approach the ground up to 2 to 3 mm.
  • the outdoor module can be made compact with a low overall height.
  • the air conditioning device according to the invention can work both in a room cooling device and in a room heating operation.
  • the second heat exchanger provided in the outdoor module works as a condenser.
  • the outlet opening in the outdoor module is closed by means of a closure element.
  • Condensed water is led from the indoor module to the outdoor module via a connecting line.
  • the condensed water is distributed to the second heat exchanger in order to increase its condensing capacity.
  • the dripping condensate is collected on the floor. Due to the low overall height of the blower, the condensed water collected on the bottom is absorbed by the blower blades and spun onto the second heat exchanger again.
  • the second heat exchanger in the outdoor module works as an evaporator on which water condenses.
  • the outlet opening in the outdoor module is open. This allows condensed water to drip from the second heat exchanger onto the first base section and flow out through the outlet opening. This prevents the risk of ice forming in the outdoor module at low outside temperatures.
  • FIG. 1 shows an air conditioner with an indoor module 3 and an outdoor module 9.
  • the indoor module 3 of the air conditioner is located in a room 1 to be air-conditioned.
  • the outdoor module 9 is provided in the outside atmosphere 11.
  • the two modules 3 and 9 are connected to one another via a wiring harness 7.
  • the wiring harness 7 runs, for example, via an open window to the outer module 9.
  • the outer module 9 can be arranged on an outer wall in the region of the window.
  • electrical lines, a refrigerant line or a condensate line 8 shown in FIG. 2 are bundled in the line strand 7.
  • the indoor module has a first heat exchanger 5 and the outdoor module 9 has a second heat exchanger 17.
  • the second heat exchanger 17 is shown in detail in FIG. 2.
  • the second heat exchanger 17 is U-shaped.
  • a blower 13 with blower blades 15 is arranged between the two legs of the U-shaped heat exchanger 17.
  • the fan 13 is mounted on a bracket 18.
  • a lower end of the bracket 18 is inserted in the bottom 19.
  • An upper end of the bracket 18 is mounted on the outdoor module housing, not shown.
  • the heat exchanger 17 is seated with a U-shaped end face on the bottom 19 of the outer module 9.
  • the bottom 19, as shown in FIG 32 is in connection with the outside atmosphere 11.
  • a closure element 33 closes the outlet opening 32 in a closed manner.
  • FIG. 2 also shows that a partition 29 is formed on the bottom 19.
  • the partition wall 29 divides the floor 19 into a first floor section 23 and a second floor section 25.
  • the second floor section 25 is delimited on the one hand by the partition wall 29 and by the drainage channel 31 according to FIG. From FIG. 4 it can be seen that an outer circumferential line 27 of the fan blades 15 is approximated to the second base section 25 to a slight distance a of approximately 3 mm.
  • a heating element 35 is formed as a resistance heater.
  • the resistance heater 35 is connected to a control device 36.
  • the control device 36 has an outside temperature sensor 38, which is provided on a front side of the module base 19.
  • a space cooling operation of the air conditioning device 1 is described below:
  • the second heat exchanger 17 in the outdoor module 9 works as a condenser.
  • the first heat exchanger 5 in the indoor module 3 works as an evaporator, on which condensed water from the room air condenses.
  • the condensed water collects in the indoor module 3.
  • the condensed water in the condensate line 8 shown in FIG. 2 is fed into the outdoor module 9 by means of a pump, not shown.
  • the condensate line 8 opens into the outer module 9 in the area above the fan blades 15. The condensate water therefore drips onto the fan blades 15 in the space cooling mode, which they fling in the direction of the U-shaped heat exchanger 17.
  • the condensed water is distributed over the heat exchanger 17.
  • a condensing capacity of the second heat exchanger 17 is increased.
  • the outlet opening 32 is closed by the closure element 33 in the room cooling operation of the air conditioning device. Dripping water therefore collects on the floor 19.
  • the water level of the condensed water collected on the bottom 19 can thereby rise during the room cooling operation.
  • the water collected on the bottom 19 is taken up by means of the fan blades 15 and hurled again against the second heat exchanger 17.
  • the condensate dripping from the condensate water line 17 is consequently, on the one hand, directly captured by the fan blades 15 and distributed via the heat exchanger 17.
  • the fan blades 15 can also pick up condensed water directly from the bottom 19 and distribute it via the heat exchanger 17.
  • the first heat exchanger 5 in the indoor module 3 works as a condenser to heat the room 1.
  • the second heat exchanger 17 in the outdoor module 9 works as an evaporator. In this case condenses water from the outside atmosphere on the second heat exchanger 17.
  • the condensation water 21 drips from the second heat exchanger 17 in the direction of the arrow to the second bottom section 23.
  • the second bottom section 23 directs the collected condensed water 21 to the drainage channel 31. This is not closed by the closure element 33 in the space heating mode.
  • the condensed water 21 therefore flows out of the outdoor module 9 via the drain channel 31.
  • the outside temperature sensor 38 of the control device 36 detects an outside temperature in the region of the water freezing point, the control device 36 switches on the heating element 35.
  • the bottom 19 thereby heats up to a temperature above the water freezing temperature. As a result, the risk is eliminated that ice can form underneath the fan blades at correspondingly low outside temperatures. This prevents contact between the fan blades and ice formed on the ground.
  • the first bottom section 25 below the fan blades 15 is inaccessible to the water flowing off in the second bottom section 23.
  • condensation water 21 dripping from the heat exchanger 17 will reach the first floor section 25.
  • a division of the floor 19 into a first and second floor section by the partition wall 29 can be dispensed with.
  • 19 water accumulates on the entire floor. Due to the heating element 35, however, the collected water is prevented from freezing to ice, which can come into contact with the fan blades 15.
