Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform a complete gasification of dew water generated at an evaporator without being influenced by atmosphere by a method wherein dew water generated at the evaporator is guided to a water receiving pan, heated by a heater and gasified by it. CONSTITUTION:When a disk 109 is rotated, dew water guided to a receiving pan 106 of a condensor is scraped up by a centrifugal force of the disk 109. The water is splashed onto a surface of a condensor 103 and heat exchanged there, thereby its temperature is increased and a part of the water is gasified. As a surplus amount of water which can not be gasified is increased, a water level is also increased, the water passes through a water feeding pipe 11, is guided to a water receiving pan 1, its temperature is further increased. The water is gasified further and discharged out of the pan. In this way, an efficient gasification of the water can be attained in concurrent with a utilization of condensing heat and at the same time the water can be completely gasified by a few amount of supplied heating calorie of the heater 2. In this way, the dew water generated at an evaporator 102 is guided to a water receiving pan 1 provided with the heater 2 and the water is gasified by a supplying calorie of the heater 2, so that the water can be completely gasified without being influenced by a condition of temperature and humidity around the air conditioner.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for air conditioners that process dew condensed water generated in an evaporator by re-vaporizing it to completely vaporize the condensed water.

Conventionally, this type of air conditioner has a compressor 101 and an evaporator 10, which are the main components of the refrigeration circuit, as shown in FIG.
2. A blower 104 for heat exchange between the condenser 103 and the evaporator 102 and the condenser 103, and a condensed water generated in the evaporator 102 are guided to a condenser tray 106 on the side of the condenser 103 with an evaporator tray 105. The condensation water receiver includes a tray 107, a disk 109 whose outer periphery is immersed in the condensation water guided to the condenser tray 106 of the condenser 103, and is rotated by the motor 10.
A water-scattering prevention cover 110 covered this disc 109 and was in contact with the condenser 103.

With the above configuration, when the disk 109 rotates, the condensed water adhering to the outer periphery is splashed on the surface of the condenser 103 inside the water scattering prevention cover 110 due to centrifugal force, the temperature rises due to the heat of condensation, and a part of it is vaporized and condensed. It was supposed to be discharged along with the waste heat from the vessel.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Even in such a conventional configuration, depending on the temperature and humidity conditions, the amount of vaporized water in the evaporator 103 is higher than the amount of vaporized water in the condenser 103.
There was a problem that the amount of condensed water generated exceeded that of 02, and complete vaporization was not possible.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an air conditioner that can completely vaporize dew condensed water generated in an evaporator without being affected by the atmosphere.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention achieves the above objects.The first means of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration circuit having a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser, and a water receiver equipped with a heater. The evaporator is configured to include a dish, and a condensation water receiver that guides condensed water generated in the evaporator to the dish.

The second means is such that a condensation water reservoir is provided in the condensation water receiver, and a discharge pipe of the compressor in the refrigeration circuit is passed through the condensation water reservoir.

The third means includes a cylinder provided with a tapered wall on the inner surface and a hole provided in a part of the wall, a fan provided on the upper part of the cylinder, a motor for rotating the cylinder and the fan, and the A comb-shaped rib is provided to surround a hole provided in a part of the cylinder, and the water receptacle is provided with a heater at the lower end of the cylinder, and is arranged near the bottom of the dish.

Effect of the Invention With the configuration of the above-mentioned means, the condensed water generated in the evaporator is guided to the water tray equipped with the heater, and is completely vaporized by the amount of heat supplied by the heater.

With the configuration of the second means, the condensed water generated in the evaporator receives heat from the discharge pipe of the compressor, and after the temperature rises, the water receiver equipped with the heater is guided to the dish, and the water receiver equipped with the heater is guided to the tray. More efficient (complete vaporization) due to less heat supply.

With the configuration of the third means, the condensed water generated in the evaporator is guided to the water tray equipped with a heater, where the temperature rises due to the amount of heat supplied by the heater, and part of it is vaporized and at the same time, the water is placed in a cylinder rotated by a motor. The tapered wall formed on the inner surface rises due to centrifugal force, and it pops out from the hole formed in the cylindrical wall surface due to centrifugal force, collides with the ribs provided on the outer periphery, becomes fine and atomized, and enters the air blown by the fan at the top of the cylinder. This results in efficient vaporization due to forced atomization, and complete vaporization due to the smaller amount of heat supplied by the heater.

With the configuration of the fourth means, the condensed water generated in the evaporator is guided to the condenser side, is scraped up by the centrifugal force of the disk rotated by the motor, and is scattered on the condenser surface, where the temperature increases by heat exchange. It rises and some of it evaporates. The excess water that could not be vaporized is guided by the condensation water guide to the water tray equipped with a heater, where it is vaporized by the amount of heat supplied by the heater.By using the heat of condensation, it is efficiently vaporized and at the same time, the heater is able to supply less water. Complete vaporization occurs due to the amount of heat.
