Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the humidification efficiency of the air conditioner by perpendicularly providing a baffle plate for interrupting the flow of a part of air toward a heat exchanger in the vicinity of the nozzle hole of a humidifier, increasing the pressure on the surface portion of said baffle plate, and lowering the pressure on the back surface portion. CONSTITUTION:A baffle plate 16 for interrupting a part of air flowing toward a heat exchanger 13 is perpendicularly provided in the vicinity of the nozzle hole of a humidifier 15. When a blower 12 is operated, air is introduced into a main body 12 to produce an airstream. An airstream which does not make contact with the front surface of the baffle plate 16 passes through the heat exchanger as it is. On the other hand, the pressure of the airstream part which makes contact with the front surface of the baffle plate 16 is increased by the resistance, and the pressure on the back side of the baffle plate 16 is conversely lowered less than that the periphery. Therefore, on the back surface of the baffle plate 16 is produced an uprising flow 8 along the back surface of the baffle plate 16. Accordingly, mists ejected from the humidifier 15 are involved into an uprising current 8 and amalgated with an airstream flowing to the heat exchanger 13, thus enabling the efficient humidifying operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and particularly to an air conditioner suitable for increasing humidification efficiency.

[Background of the invention]

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, as a conventional air conditioner, there is an air conditioner 2 for circulating air in the main body 1 of the air conditioner, and air introduced into the main body 1 from a blower 2. A heat exchanger 3 that cools or heats the There is a configuration in which the exchanger 3t is arranged at an angle and the humidifier 5 is arranged on the water receiver 4.

In this air vI4 sum@, when the humidifier 5 completely humidifies the suction air, the mist ejected from the humidifier 5 due to the turbulence of the airflow on the suction side of the heat exchanger 3 is transferred to the heat exchanger 3t.
- The passing flow 7 and the vortex 6 generated above the water receiver 4
The mist caught in the vortex 61C falls into the water receiver 4. For this reason, the mist from the humidifier is not effectively used to humidify the air, which often results in a decrease in humidification efficiency. An example of this type of air conditioner is Utility Model Application No. 59-25027.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner that can effectively use mist from a humidifier to humidify air and improve humidification efficiency.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention installs a baffle plate near the spray nozzle of a humidifier that obstructs the flow of a part of the air toward the heat exchanger, and reduces the pressure on the falling surface of the baffle plate and prevents the air from getting in the way. By lowering the pressure on the surface of plate 1, an upward flow is generated on the back side of the baffle plate, and the mist from the humidifier is drawn into this upward flow to humidify the air.

(Embodiment of the Invention) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 1 is a front view of an air conditioner according to the present invention, and Fig. In the figure, this air conditioner'@ has a main body 11, a blower 12 for circulating air, and a heat exchanger 13 for cooling or heating the air introduced into the main body 10 by the blower 12. , a water receiver 14 for receiving condensed water generated from the heat exchanger 13, and the heat exchanger 13.
and a humidifier 15 for humidifying the air before heat exchange. The heat exchanger 13 is arranged in an inclined manner.
A baffle plate 16 is installed vertically to obstruct the flow of a portion of the air toward the air. This baffle plate 16 is attached to the humidifier 150 case.

Next, the effect when the humidifier operates in this embodiment VC will be explained.

When the blower 12 is operated, air is introduced into the body 12 and an airflow 7 is generated. At this time, the airflow that does not come into contact with the baffle plates 1 and 6 remains as it is\heat exchanger 13? It passes. On the other hand, the pressure of the airflow portion that comes into contact with the surface of the baffle plate 16 increases due to resistance. Also, the back side 9I of the obstruction board 16
In II, on the other hand, the pressure decreases in the surrounding area as well. Therefore, an upward flow 8 along the back surface of the baffle plate 16 is generated on the back surface of the baffle plate 16. At this time, the air ejected from the humidifier 15 is caught up in the upward flow 8 and merges with the airflow flowing to the heat exchanger 13. As a result, the mist from the humidifier 15 can be merged with the air with 100% efficiency regardless of the vortex 6 generated above the water receiver 14, and efficient humidification operation can be performed.

The relationship between the pressures (static pressures) of the airflow 7, the vortex 6 and the upward flow 8 is shown in FIG. 3.
.

Although the present embodiment shows an example in which the baffle plate 16 is installed vertically, it does not necessarily have to be vertical, and holes may be provided in the baffle plate 16.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it can be effectively used for humidifying St-air in a humidifier, and the humidification efficiency can be improved.
