Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Drain water discharged from an air conditioner installed in an electronic device cabinet used for a switchboard or control panel that houses electronic devices should be treated without human intervention. In addition to being able to install the air conditioner in a narrow space. [Structure] An air conditioner 2 mounted on an electronic equipment cabinet 1 is connected to an air conditioner 2 via a drain hose 4.
Connected to a storage tank 3 at a position away from the storage tank 3 so that the drain water discharged from the air conditioner 2 is vaporized by an evaporator 5 attached to the storage tank 3.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an air conditioner for an electronic equipment cabinet that performs air conditioning in an electronic equipment cabinet used for a switchboard or a control panel that houses electronic equipment.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a conventional air conditioner for electronic cabinets of this type, drain water discharged from the air conditioner is stored in a storage tank that is detachably attached to the air conditioner, and when the storage tank becomes full of drain water. The storage tank was manually removed from the air conditioner to drain the drain water. For this reason, in the conventional device, it is necessary to install a mechanism to detect that the storage tank is full of drain water and notify the operator, and to remove the drain water by manually removing the storage tank. It took time. Furthermore, an extra space is required to remove the storage tank from the air conditioner, which causes a problem that the occupied area for installing the electronic equipment cabinet becomes large.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention intends to solve the problems described above so that the drain water discharged from the air conditioner can be treated without human labor, and the air conditioner can be installed in a narrow space. Is to be able to install.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the air conditioner for an electronic equipment cabinet according to the present invention, which solves the above problems, the drain water storage tank is separated from the air conditioner via a drain hose in the air conditioner attached to the electronic equipment cabinet. It is characterized in that it is installed at a different position, and the storage tank is provided with an evaporator for vaporizing the stored drain water.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. Reference numeral 1 denotes an electronic device cabinet used for a switchboard, a control panel, or the like accommodating electronic devices. The electronic device cabinet 1 is provided with an air conditioner 2 for air-conditioning the electronic device cabinet 1. A storage tank 3 is provided at a position distant from the air conditioner 2 and stores drain water. The storage tank 3 and the air conditioner 2 are connected by a drain hose 4. Reference numeral 5 denotes a heater-type or ultrasonic vibrator-type drain water evaporation device provided in the storage tank 3. Reference numeral 6 in the figure denotes a float switch provided in the storage tank 3. The float switch 6 detects that the drain tank 3 is filled with drain water, and then starts the evaporation device 5.

With this configuration, drain water discharged from the air conditioner 2 that air-conditions the inside of the electronic device cabinet 1 used for a switchboard or a control panel that accommodates electronic devices is stored in the air conditioner 2 It will be stored via the drain hose 4 in the storage tank 3 installed at a position away from. When the float switch 6 detects that the storage tank 3 is filled with drain water, the evaporator 5 is activated and the drain water in the storage tank 3 is vaporized or atomized and evaporated into the atmosphere. When the drain water in the storage tank 3 decreases due to the evaporation of the drain water, the float switch 6 is turned off and the evaporator 5 is stopped. In this way, the drain water discharged from the air conditioner 2 is stored in the storage tank 3 again, and the same operation as described above is repeated. Therefore, it is not necessary to manually discard the drain water in the storage tank 3. It will be

Moreover, since the storage tank 3 equipped with the evaporator 5 is installed at a position away from the air conditioner 2 with the drain hose 4, the evaporation of drain water in the evaporator 5 causes the air conditioner 2 to evaporate. There is no adverse effect on. In the embodiment, the float switch 6 detects that the drain tank has been filled with the drain water so that the evaporation device 5 is activated. It is not limited to one.

[0008]

[Effect of device]

 As is apparent from the above description, the present invention allows drain water discharged from an air conditioner installed in an electronic device cabinet used for a switchboard or a control panel containing electronic devices to be located at a position away from the air conditioner. Since the stored drain water was stored in the installed storage tank via the drain hose and the vaporizer installed in the storage tank vaporized the stored drain water, the storage tank attached to the air conditioner was manually operated. This eliminates the need to remove the drain water to the outside and eliminates the need to remove the storage tank from the air conditioner, so that the electronic equipment cabinet must be installed in consideration of the space required for that purpose. It can be installed in a small space without any problems, and the air conditioner and the storage tank with the evaporator are separated. Evaporation of drain water by the evaporator by that there are many advantages such as no adversely affect to to the air conditioner. Therefore, the present invention is of great practical value as a solution to the problems of the conventional air conditioners for electronic equipment cabinets.
