Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a humidifying eliminator in a so-called air conditioner/heater that can be used in both summer and winter, which can prevent water droplets from flying away in the summer and provide an appropriate humidifying effect indoors in the winter. It is.

Normally, eliminators are installed in front of the heat exchange coil in the summer and are effective only in the summer to prevent water droplets from flying away. However, this device is intended to use such an eliminator not only to prevent water droplets from flying away but also as a humidifier in the winter, making it convenient to use in both summer and winter. It is characterized by a configuration in which an eliminator 4 is placed in front of the heat exchange coil 1 and has a number of raised portions 5 on its plate surface for collecting water.

Hereinafter, a specific example of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 indicates a heat exchange coil, 2 indicates a drain pan, and 3 indicates a water supply mechanism. An eliminator 4 made of synthetic resin or a metal plate is provided.

The upper part of the eliminator 4 is connected to the water supply mechanism 3, and the lower part is placed inside the drain pan 2.The eliminator 4 has a shape in which the entire plate surface is bent into a wave shape, and water droplets accumulate on the bent surface. It is made up of a large number of cone-shaped raised parts 5.

Note that the raised portion 5 may have any arbitrary shape, but examples thereof include a ridged raised shape as shown in the illustrated example,
It is also possible to use a raised bulging portion or a slit groove 5'.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and in the summer time, the air from the blower (arrow) passes through the heat exchange coil 1 and supplies cold air indoors. Since the bendable eliminator 4 is disposed in front of the heat exchange coil 1, water droplets in the heat exchange coil 1 are completely prevented from flying forward, and the water droplets in the heat exchange coil 1 are completely prevented from flying back and forth through the water supply mechanism 3 during winter. When the water is made to flow down to the eliminator 4, the flowing water collects on the raised part 5 attached to the plate surface of the eliminator 4, and this water, together with the hot air from the heat exchange coil 1, gradually evaporates. It is possible to release the air to the front of the aircraft at the same time as humid air to bring the appropriate humidity into the room.

Further, in the present invention, a mechanism is provided in which the water stored in the drain pan 2 is circulated to the upper water supply mechanism 3 using a pump P or the like.

As described above, the eliminator which also functions as a humidifier in the air conditioner and heating device according to the present invention has an eliminator 4 which is inclined at a certain angle on the front part of the heat exchange coil 1 and is provided with a large number of raised parts 5 that allow water to easily accumulate therein. This has the advantage that the water flowing down is reliably received on the 4 surfaces of the eliminator, and this water is naturally heated and evaporated appropriately by the warm air passing through the eliminator 4, thereby supplying ideal humidity indoors. However, in particular, by forming the entire eliminator plate surface into a number of wave shapes as shown in the second figure, the eliminator surface has a larger effective area for passing hot air than a conventional flat plate surface. The water spreads out and flows together on the wave-shaped folded surface, and the humidification effect of the accumulated droplets on the many raised portions 5 is significantly promoted, thereby making it possible to generate humidity more effectively.

Therefore, it is economical to use the eliminator, which conventionally only had a function in the summer, in the winter, and it has a simple structure without requiring any other humidifier, and it can also be used in the cold in the summer. At the time of return, the provision of the raised portion 5 also has the effect of better draining of dew water, unlike a mere eliminator.

Furthermore, in the present invention, a water supply mechanism 3 is provided directly above the heat exchange coil 1, and the water supply mechanism 3 and the upper part of the eliminator 4 are communicated with each other.
The water in the water supply mechanism 3 is naturally warmed by the heat of By opening this, some water droplets fall onto the heat exchange coil 1, and it has the function of further promoting the humidification effect on the surface of the heat exchange coil 1 in addition to the above.
