Description

{Indoor harmful gas emissions system}

The present invention relates to an indoor noxious gas exhaust system, and more particularly, to an indoor noxious gas exhaust system that absorbs harmful gases (radon and radium) and dust heavier than air in a room, collects noxious gases and dust heavier than air, To an indoor noxious gas discharge system for discharging indoor air to the outside.

Generally, people spend more than 85% of their time in indoor space such as houses, offices, and underground spaces, so that the time for indoor exposure to harmful pollutants is much longer than outdoor.

Therefore, the indoor air quality is a very important factor in health. The harmful gas generated from the building materials such as concrete and adhesive used in the buildings cause diseases such as so-called sick house syndrome in the human body, deteriorate the condition of the atopic dermatitis patients, Walls directly touching the outside air are relatively low compared to the room due to the influence of the outside air temperature, so that the water vapor inside the room condenses on the wall surface, so that the wallpaper becomes wet with moisture and the mold is proliferated and the air circulates between the wallpaper and the wall surface No anaerobic bacteria multiply and are harmful to odor and health.

It is common to ventilate indoor air or use an air purifier to clean the contaminated indoor space.

However, this process inevitably affects the thermal environment of the room, thereby deteriorating the thermal comfort and insufficient to remove the harmful gas which is continuously generated.

For the above reasons, in the patent application No. 10-2009-0101777 (Sep. 29, 2009), a vowel tube which is disposed in a space between a ceiling, a wall and a ceiling interior molding and functions to collect indoor harmful gas, ; A drain pipe extending from the vulture tube to the outside through a wall; And a forced discharge means provided at an outdoor side end of the discharge pipe. However, such a device is difficult to realize in a conventional house or building.

Radon (Rn) is a natural radioactive gas produced by the radioactive decay of radium (Ra) in uranium and thorium radioactive series, and has colorless and odorless characteristics. Since it is inactive and is about 8 times as heavy as air, There is a high possibility of being sucked into the human body.

These radon are known to be the cause of lung cancer next to smoking because they damage the lungs when they are sucked into the human body, but they are constantly flowing into indoor space by soil, building materials, ground water, LNG etc. Especially, In addition, it is possible that the indoor movement through the water will penetrate due to the capillary phenomenon or the water pressure through the pores of the concrete, and the higher the indoor temperature and the lower the pressure, There is a serious problem in that it can be introduced and distributed in any space on the earth.

Accordingly, there is a demand for a system capable of removing indoor air of harmful gases (radon, rhenium) and dust present in a general house or a building to improve the indoor environment.

The present invention adds a first tank that houses dust-collecting water to the air conditioner so as to collect noxious gas and dust heavier than air in the inhaled indoor air by the dust collecting water, thereby improving the radon and radium gas, It is easy to remove the harmful gases and dust accumulated in the residential facilities, and it improves the health of the modern people living in the room. The harmful gas sucking part sucking the indoor air sucks in the vortex Which is provided with a vortex type dust collecting hood for generating an indoor air suction force which is higher than the conventional one.

The first aspect of the present invention provides a system for discharging indoor harmful gas according to the present invention, comprising: a first tank installed inside an air conditioner, having a predetermined water level of dust collecting water therein for collecting harmful gases and dust heavier than air, A second tank connected to the first tank through a connection pipe and disposed below the first tank for selectively receiving the dust collecting water collected in the first tank through the connecting pipe, A noxious gas intake part connected to the first tank and sucking noxious gas in the room and guiding the noxious gas to the first tank and one end connected to the first tank and the other end connected to the outdoor, And a noxious gas exhaust unit for guiding the indoor air having the dust and the noxious gas heavier than air collected therein to be discharged to the outside.

The intake port is connected to the upper side of the first tank. The intake port is provided at one side of the intake port and selectively opens and closes the intake port. And a swirling dust collecting hood that is provided on the other side of the indoor unit and sucks indoor air by generating a vortex.

And a mounting unit provided on one side of the air conditioner according to the present invention for gripping and mounting the other side end of the intake communication pipe of the noxious gas intake unit and the eddy-current collecting hood.

In addition, the noxious gas exhaust unit according to the present invention includes: an exhaust communication pipe having one end connected to the upper side of the first tank and the other end connected to the outside; and an exhaust communication pipe provided in the exhaust communication pipe, And an exhaust means for exhausting the room air stored in the tank to the outside.
