Definitions
- the present invention relates to a portable air-conditioning device.
- air-conditioning devices comprise an internal unit and an external unit, and the heat drawn from the internal unit during cooling process is discharged to the outer environment by the external unit.
- cooling process is usually performed by discharging the heat drawn from the environment to the outer environment by means of a vent extending outdoors through an aperture opened on a window or a wall.
- the vent structure that enables heat to be discharged to the outer environment, restricts transportability of the air-conditioning device.
- portable air- conditioning devices are not preferred by many users since an aperture to be opened on a window or a wall for the vent needs to be formed suitably, in order to obtain an efficient cooling performance by providing insulation between the ambience that requires cooling and the outer environment.
- the patent application no. WO2017137327 (A1 ) relates to a transportable air-conditioning device.
- the aim of the present invention is to realize a portable air-conditioning device with enhanced cooling performance, in which hot air passage to the outer environment is prevented.
- the portable air-conditioning device provided to achieve the aim of the present invention is disclosed in the claims.
- PCM packages phase change material packages
- the PCM packages become unable to store heat after being used for a certain duration, so they should be removed for the regeneration (cooling) process from the heat storage chamber in which they are disposed.
- the portable air conditioning device of the invention comprises flaps mounted on the front side of the heat storage chamber, such that they can be opened and closed by pivoting about a horizontal or vertical axis from one edge by means of a spring hinge.
- Each flap opens towards into the heat storage chamber when the PCM package is being placed, and closes the front face of the heat storage chamber after the PCM package is placed and/or removed.
- the flaps can open and close in down-up, up-down direction or rightwards-leftwards.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of the portable air-conditioning device.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the heat storage chamber.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of a heat storage chamber in which a PCM package is placed.
- Figure 4 is a view of the detail A of Figure 2.
- Figure 5 is a schematic view of a PCM package placed in a heat storage chamber comprising a flap opening upwards.
- Figure 6 is a schematic view of a PCM package placed in a heat storage chamber comprising a flap opening downwards.
- Figure 7 is a schematic view of a heat storage chamber comprising flaps opening sideways.
- Figure 8 is a schematic view of a heat storage chamber comprising symmetrical flaps.
- the portable air-conditioning device (1 comprises a compressor (2) enabling the cooling cycle, a condenser (3) enabling heat discharge to the outer environment by condensing a refrigerant, a condenser chamber (4) in which the condenser (3) is placed, an evaporator (5) drawing heat from the environment by evaporating the refrigerant and enabling cooling the ambient air, an evaporator fan (6) delivering the air cooled by the evaporator (5) to the outer ambience where the user is, at least one phase change material (PCM) package (7) (hereinafter referred to as PCM package (7)) obtained by packing phase change material (PCM) with high heat storage capacity in a container (not shown in the figures), transferring and storing the heat of the condenser (3), and a heat storage chamber (8) in which the PCM packages (7) are placed, and at least one opening (1 1 ) disposed between the condenser chamber (4) and the heat storage chamber (8), enabling directing the waste heat dissi
- the portable air-conditioning device (1 ) of the invention comprises at least one flap (10),
- the PCM packages (7) are placed into the air-conditioning device from the front side of the heat storage chamber (8) facing the user. Phase change process of the PCM packages (7) end after the portable air-conditioning device (1 ) have operated for a certain duration, and the packages are removed from the heat storage chamber (8) by the user, in order to be cooled.
- the flap (10) opens into the heat storage chamber (8) by the contact of the PCM package (7) or by being pushed by the user, and the spring hinge (9) is stressed in the meanwhile.
- the flap (10) closes the front side of the region emptied by the PCM package (7) due to being pulled back by the spring hinge (9).
- each flap (10) is connected to the heat storage chamber (8) from its upper edge by means of the spring hinge (9), and opens in down-up direction by pivoting about the upper horizontal axis ( Figure 5).
- each flap (10) is connected to the heat storage chamber (8) from its lower edge by means of the spring hinge (9), and opens in up-down direction by pivoting about the lower horizontal axis ( Figure 6).
- each flap (10) is connected to the heat storage chamber (8) from a side (right or left) edge by means of the spring hinge (9), and opens rightwards or leftwards by pivoting about the vertical axis ( Figure 7).
- the portable air-conditioning device (1 ) comprises symmetrical flaps (10) shaped as saloon/bar doors, of which two is used for each PCM package (7), opening by pivoting in mutually opposite directions (one to the right and one to the left) about the vertical axis ( Figure 8).
- the flaps (10) covering the front face of the heat storage chamber (8) and used individually for each PCM package (7) enable the PCM packages (7) to be placed into and removed from the heat storage chamber (8) independent of each other. For example, when only one of the PCM packages (7) is removed to be cooled, the portion emptied by the removed PCM package (7) is covered by the flap (10) moving by means of the spring hinge (9), and the heat coming through the opening (1 1 ) to the heat storage chamber (8) is stored by the other PCM packages (7).
- the flap (10) enables sealing, prevents the heat of the condenser (4) and the compressor (3) coming through the opening (1 1 ) to the heat storage chamber (8) from escaping to the outer environment, thereby enhancing the cooling performance of the air-conditioning device (1 ).
