Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the amount of an air flow passing a condenser, and to make it possible to shorten the diameter of a heat discharge duct and elongate the length thereof by providing a freezing circuit blasting unit, and a humidifying unit comprising a water storage tank, a filter and a roller in the front of an air suction port of a condenser. CONSTITUTION:When the operation of the air conditioner is started, a compressor 1, a motor 4 for blasting and a roller 14 operate, a fan 5 for the evaporator and a fan 6 for the condenser rotate, and a filter 16 circulates in water within a water storage tank 15. Indoor air is sucked up from a suction grill 13 for the condenser and passes through the filter 16. Upon this occasion, water is vaporized on the surface of the filter 16 to rob of vaporization heat. Then, indoor air passes the condenser 3 and after being heat-exchanged is discharged out of the room via a heat discharge duct 12 by means of the fan 6 for the condenser. Further, indoor air sucked up from the suction grill 9 for the evaporator passes the evaporator 2 and is discharged out of the cold air blow-off port 11 by the fan 5 for the evaporator. Drains condensed in the evaporator 2 fall dropwise into a drain pan 7 and also into the filter 16 via a drain pipe 8, and are utilized for cooling air.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner that efficiently exchanges heat in a condenser inside a refrigeration circuit by using the heat of vaporization of water using a humidifying unit using a filter. It is something.

Structure of a conventional example and its problems One embodiment of a conventional air conditioner will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, 1 is a compressor, 2 is an evaporator, 3 is a condenser, 4 is a
7 is an electric motor for blowing air that rotates the evaporator 77 5 and the condenser 77 6; 7 is a drain pan that receives condensate condensed on the evaporator 2; 8 is a drain pipe that leads the condensate to the drain tank 101; 9 is a suction grill for the evaporator. , 102 is a suction grill for the condenser, 10 is a drain tank cover for taking in and out the drain tank 101, 11 is a cold air outlet after passing through the evaporator 2, and 12 is a duct for exhaust heat after passing through the condenser 3.

In the above configuration, when the compressor 1 and the blower electric motor 4 are operated, the air sucked from the condenser suction grill 102 passes through the condenser 3 and undergoes heat exchange.
The heat is discharged to the outside through the heat exhaust duct 12. Te,
The air sucked from the evaporator suction grill 9 is transferred to the evaporator 2.
After passing through and undergoing heat exchange, the air is discharged from the cold air outlet 11 by the evaporator fan 5. At this time, the condensed water on the evaporator 2 drips into the drain pan 7, passes through the drain pipe 8, and is stored in the drain tank 101.

Due to the above configuration, the condenser 3 is cooled only by air, and in order to ensure the condensing capacity, it is necessary to increase the volume of air passing through the condenser 3. In addition, the diameter of the heat exhaust duct 12, which acts as a resistor for air flow, becomes large, and the length cannot be increased. Moreover,
When the room temperature rises, the condensing capacity of the condenser 3 decreases, leading to a decrease in capacity.

Purpose of the Invention The air conditioner of the present invention eliminates these conventional problems, and reduces the amount of air passing through the condenser, making the diameter of the heat exhaust duct much smaller and the length longer. In addition, the present invention provides an air conditioner that is less affected by temperature changes in air passing through one condenser.

Composition of the Invention The air conditioner of the present invention includes a refrigeration circuit composed of a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser, a blower unit composed of a blower electric motor, an evaporator fan, and a condenser fan, and further includes: A humidifying unit is provided in front of the air suction port of the condenser, and includes a water storage tank, a filter that circulates within the water storage tank, and a roller that circulates the filter. It is configured to efficiently exchange heat in the condenser by evaporating the water in the condenser and using the heat of vaporization at that time to lower the temperature of the air passing through the condenser.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In the figure, 13 is a suction grill for the condenser, and 14 is a water storage tank 16 in which a filter 16 circulates. This is Low 2-, which rotates so that it does.

In the above configuration, when the main body is operated, the compressor 1, the blower motor 4, and the roller 14 are operated, the evaporator fan 5 and the condenser fan 6 are rotated, and the filter 1 is rotated.
6 circulates in water within the water storage tank 15. The indoor air is
The air is sucked in through the condenser suction grill 13 and passed through the filter 16.
At this time, water evaporates from the surface of the filter 16, taking away the heat of vaporization, and the air, which has become low temperature and humid, passes through the condenser 3.
After heat exchange, the condenser fan 6 connects the exhaust heat duct 1 to the condenser fan 6.
It is released outdoors through 2. Moreover, the indoor air sucked in from the evaporator suction grille 9 passes through the evaporator 2, undergoes heat exchange, and is then discharged from the cold air outlet 11 by the evaporator fan 6. At this time, the condensate condensed on the evaporator 2 drips into the drain pan 7 and passes through the drain pipe 8 to the filter 1.
Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, by using the heat of vaporization when water evaporates, by having a humidifying unit using a filter, By lowering the temperature of the air passing through the condenser and increasing the heat exchange efficiency in the condenser, the amount of air passing through the condenser can be reduced compared to conventional methods, and the diameter of the heat exhaust duct can be made smaller and longer. In addition, the influence of temperature changes on the air passing through the condenser can be reduced. In addition, the condensate condensed on the evaporator can be used again for heat exchange by dropping it onto the filter.
