WATER VAPOR CONDENSER DEVICE, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT IT MAINLY CONSISTS OF A CASE IN THE GENERAL SHAPE OF AN EXTENDED PARALLEPIPED, WHICH HAS AN OPEN FACE AND ON WHICH IS ADJUSTED A LID WITH HERMETIC LOCKING, AND IN THE CASE, 3 RENTR, OF GENERAL PRISMATIC FLAT SHAPE, VERTICALLY AND ALTERNATELY ARRANGED, TOGETHER DEFINING A COMPLEX CIRCUIT FOR THE CIRCULATION OF THE WATER VAPOR THAT ARRIVES, SO THAT IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE INTERNAL WALLS OF THE CASE, THE LID AND THE SAID IN VIEW OF ITS CONDENSATION.

Description

Condenser device of water vapor.

  The invention relates to a device for facilitating the condensation of excess water vapor during a physical process in which the fluid, prevented from exiting from an enclosed space in the form of vapor, passes from the state

vapor in the liquid state.

  This device can be adapted, inter alia, to a washing machine

  household or semi-industrial laundry In this type of

  the same, as everyone knows, thanks to the use of hot water with the heat of vaporization, part of this water

  the state of vapor In this way we obtain the necessary elimination of

  sometimes avoided, in order to prevent the generation of moisture and other inconveniences

water vapor from the machine.

  The device, object of the present invention, has a simplified structure, devoid of moving parts, at the same time that it provides a good conversion of steam into water in the liquid state, this water being recovered by the

conduit of arrival of this fluid.

  The condenser described below can be mounted on the rear of the washing machine: it will be completely invisible to the user and will work without any sensitive manifestation. For ease of understanding, this document illustrates an example between the operation of a vapor condenser device

principles of the invention.

  of water, following the longitudinal of its device body; FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8 are transverse sections corresponding respectively to the V-V, VI-VI sectional planes,

VII-VII and VIII-VIII.

  Figure 9 is a longitudinal section of the upper body, acting as a lid, the new condenser, Figure 10 shows a side view, and Figures 11 and 12 a plan view externally and internally; Figures 13 and 14 show the condenser in

  whole, by association of the two parties mentioned above.

  The condenser consists (Figure 1) in a box

  -1 in the form of an elongated prism, which has a superior surface

  open, to which is attached a superior body

  acting as a lid The tubular opening -2 con-

  the arrival of condenser water vapor and, simultaneously,

  nally, the resulting water outlet Inside, the box -1 has several ribs or re-entrant -3

  narrow prismatic form, which determine

  along the prismatic body The opening -4-, at the opposite end of the opening -2 will allow the expulsion

  the small amount of surplus steam after the condensation

  most of it.

  Parts -5 of the lower base of the body -1-

  have a slight inclination oriented towards the opening -2 and, alternatively, towards the one and the other side of the body, so as to guide the condensed water towards the outlet FIG. 5 makes it possible to verify said angular inclination, and the Figure 7 the passage -6 between the side walls of the body -1 and

  the inner ribs -3 of condensed water to the outlet.

  Cylindrical bosses -7 in the upper part of the body -1 will allow the adjustment of fastening screws of the upper body or cover, when using this

fastening system.

  Eight -8 ears are used to fix the condenser body

  the body of a washing machine, for example, the connection of the

  rivée -2 of the steam to the tank of the machine operating by means of a conduit comprising an elastic zone making

bellows office.

  The upper body of the condenser comprises (FIG. 9) a plate -9 of shape and size corresponding to the upper face of the body -1 on which it will be applied, the box being closed thanks to the outer rim -10 and inner -11 constituted by this plate This last forms

  projections -12 of flat prismatic shape, slightly conver-

  These elements define, with the latter, a complex circuit for the circulating water vapor, as shown in Figure 13.

  re-entrant -13 to the outer surface of the cover plate.

  The depth of these projections is uneven, their lower parts -17 forming a slightly inclined plane, the angle -14 relative to the horizontal appears in Figure 9 Thus, the salient -15 is shorter than the others. Orifices -16 will be used for the insertion of the plate fixing screws, which could be replaced by an adhesive or an ultrasonic weld.

  can be easily performed using thermo

  plastics injected into the body -1 and the plate -9-.

  The outer surface of the body -1 may also include fins which will contribute to the evacuation of the heat present on the side walls of the device, which will increase its efficiency as for the condensation of the steam

circulating water.

  Of course, other variants can be imagined

  without departing from the scope of the invention.

Claims (4)
