Abstract

An apparatus to remove condensed water from an air conditioner comprises a plurality of adjacent condenser units 22 being separated from each other by an open space and being mounted on a seat 11 of a base 10, A nebulizer 40 (means to convert a liquid into a fine mist or spray, i.e. to atomise) is mounted on a bracket 30 adjacent one of the condenser units and has a low voltage motor (41, fig 3) driven shaft (42) driving a nebulising disk 50 that is located in the open space between the condenser units (fig 4). The disk is a volute centrifugal disk and sprays collected condensed water onto the condenser units to vaporise the condensed water. The condenser units comprise of multiple condensing tubes 22.

Description

CONDENSER WITH A NEBULIZER HAVING A LOW-VOLTAGE
DIRECT CURRENT MOTOR
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a condenser, especially to a condenser with a nebulizer having a low-voltage direct current motor.
2. Description of the Prior Arts
An air conditioner utilizes thermal dynamics to cool indoor temperature.
When the air conditioner operates, water is condensed from air and needs to be drained out of the air conditioner. Generally, water is drained out through a pipe.
However, the outlet of the pipe must be directly connected to a drain or drip freely. When connected to the drain connecting tubes are used and may be revealed or concealed. Revealed connecting tubes reduce aesthetic appeal of a building, but concealed connecting tubes should be built during original construction; otherwise expensive renovation is required.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a condenser with a nebulizer having a low-voltage direct current motor. The condenser is designed for air conditioners to replace draining condensed water. The condenser has a body mounted on the seat, a nebulizer and a nebulizing disk. The body has two condensing units. An open space is formed between the condensing units.
The nebulizer is mounted beside the body and has a low-voltage direct current motor and a shaft. The shaft is driven by the low-voltage direct current motor and protrudes into the open space. The nebulizing disk is mounted securely around the shaft and is mounted in the open space. When the low-voltage direct current motor operates, the rotated nebulizing disk nebulizes condensed water in the seat to the condensing units. Heat of the condensing units vaporizes condensed water that is easily discharged without requiring pipes or draining. Therefore, the air conditioner with the condenser needs no outside tubes. Further, the low-voltage direct culTent motor is highly efficient, has fast rotational speed so is energy-saving and safe.
IN THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a condenser with a nebulizer having a low-voltage direct current motor in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the condenser in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a nebulizing disk of the nebulizer in Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a top view of the condenser in Fig. 1.
With reference to Figs. I and 2, a condenser with a nebulizer having a low-voltage direct eun-ent (DC) motor in accordance with the present invention compriscs a base (10), a body (20), a bracket (30), a nebulizer (40) and a ncbulizing disk (50).
The base (1 0) has a scat (11).
I'be body (20) is mounted in the seat (11) and has two condensing units (2 1) and mu]tipie condensing tubes (22). The condensing units (2 1) are mounted separately in tile seat (11). An open space is formed between the condensing units (2 1). The condensing tubes (22) are mounted respectively through the condensing units (21).
The bracket (30) is mounted on the base (10) and is mounted beside the body (20).
With further reference to Fig. 3, the nebulizer (40) is mounted on the bracket (30) and conprises a low-voltage DC motor (41) and a shaft (42). The low-voltage DC motor (41) is attached securely to the bracket (30). The shaft (42) is connected to and is driven by the low-voltage DC motor, is mounted through the bracket (30) and protrudes into the open space between the condensing units (21).
With further reference to Fig. 4, the nebulizing disk (50) is mounted securely around the shaft (42) and is mounted in the open space between the condensing units (21). The nebulizing disk (50) may be a volute centrifugal disk, a hydraulic wheel or the like to nebulize water.
in use the condensed water inside the air conditioner flows to the seat (II). The low-voltage DC motor (41) drives the shaft (42) to rotate the nebulizing disk (50). The rotating nehulizing disk (50) nehulizes the condensed water from the seat (11) and guides the condensed water to the condensing units (2 1). Heat of the condensing units (2 1) vaporizes the condensed water. Since vaporiz.ed water is easily discharged, the air conditioner with the condenser as described does not need pipes and easily discharges condensed water.
Furthermore, using the low-voltage DC motor has fo]]owing advantages.
I. Compared to an alternating current (AC) motor, a low-voltage DC motor (41) occupies only 20% volume of the AC motor. Therefore, materials to manufacturing the low-voltage DC motor (4!) is reduced.
2, The power consumption of the AC motor is about 15 to 20 watt, compared to about 2 to 3 watt for the low-voltage DC motor (41). Therefore, the low-voltage DC motor (41) is energy saving.
3. The low-voltage DC motor (41) drives the nebulizing disk (50) to nebulize water into drops. Higher rotational speeds reduce average volume of nebulized drops; smaller drops also vaporize more easily. The rotational speed of the AC motor is about 2500 to 3000 rpm, compared to about 3500 to 5000 rpm for the low-voltage DC motor (41).
4. Since the low-voltage DC motor (41) uses voltage lower than 36 volts, danger of electrocution is reduced.
Therefore, the low-voltage DC motor (41) enhances the efficiency of heat dissipation of the air conditioner with the condenser as described, reduces energy usage and improves efficiency of the condenser as described.
