Description

Air conditioning and heating apparatus for use of heat pipe and thermo element

The present invention relates to a cooling and heating device using a heat pipe and a thermoelectric element, when hot water is required to obtain water by heating water using high heat obtained from the heat dissipation side of the thermoelectric elements, and when cold air is required, the thermoelectric element. Cool air is generated through the heat pipe connected to the heat absorbing part side of the heat sink, and when the warmth is required, the heat pipe can be obtained through the heat pipe connected to the heat generating part of the thermoelectric element. .

The thermoelectric element is cooled by applying power to one side and the other side to become hot. In addition, the heat pipe is a kind of heat conduction means in which a wick is formed so that a medium moving in the center of the tube can move along the inner wall of the tube. This type of heat pipe has been applied only to high value-added airplanes, ships, spacecrafts, etc., because it requires considerable advanced technology to form wicks on inner walls of limited diameter.

An air conditioner for combined use of a hot air fan using a thermoelectric element is known as a utility model of Registration No. 204571. This is an air conditioner having a heat conduction kit installed on one side of a plurality of thermoelectric elements and a flow fan installed thereon to discharge cold air, and at the same time, a water cooling kit and a radiator are installed on the opposite side of the thermoelectric element.

The use of such a thermoelectric element, but the primary cold and hot air supply device for using both the warm and cold air on both sides is known as the registration No. 217056. Although the device supplies both cold and hot air at the same time, it can cool down the high temperature of the electronic circuit board or supply hot air to electronic equipment that cannot operate normally in cold extreme areas, and the remaining unused hot and cold air is released to the atmosphere. It is a rudimentary hot air supply.

This cold / hot air system has a cooling structure to cool the heat by supplying cold air rather than room temperature when local cooling of electronic equipment is required in high temperature and high temperature conditions, and the heat generating part on the opposite side is only released by cooling in the atmosphere. In extreme cold, it is only a warm air supply structure that prevents freezing of electronic equipment as heat radiating air.

More aggressively proposed cooling systems using thermoelectric elements and heat pipes are known from Patent Publication No. 2000-54406.

This device mainly uses heat pipes to move the heat of the heat dissipation part generated during operation of the cooling system around the thermoelectric element quickly, and is not utilized as a winter hot water supply device.

The boiler of No. 190443 is known as a boiler using a heat pipe. This is a structure in which a heat pipe having a predetermined single layer structure is connected between the heating means and the hot water pipe so that the heat of the heating means is transferred to the water as it is. In particular, the heat pipe is embedded in the hot water chamber. However, the heating means uses water heated by burning ordinary fuels, but not thermoelectric elements.

Not only supplying hot air but also actively supplying hot water in winter, it can be used for heating and hot water supply, but the same device can be used for cooling system in summer. It becomes.

In particular, the thermoelectric structure for contacting the heat pipe, the thermoelectric element, the heat dissipation tank, etc. in the supply device of hot water and cold air using the known conventional thermoelectric element and the heat pipe should be connected without heat resistance, and the thermal conductivity should be easy, There was a need for a heat pipe support structure that must be easily attached to a thermoelectric element and satisfy conditions such as a complete planar structure by milling.

In winter, it is possible to provide high temperature hot water suitable for hot water supply of hot water heating system or hot water supply system using hot water, and at the same time, it supplies the hot water and cold air that is equipped with a cooling system suitable for supplying cold air for cooling in summer. It is an object of the present invention to provide this possible boiler and cooling system.

In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a heating and cooling device using a heat pipe and a thermoelectric element capable of supplying hot and cold air instead of a system of supplying hot water and cold air.

The present invention also aims to provide heat conduction means for most effectively connecting heat pipes that are advantageous for transferring high heat or cold air of a thermoelectric element.

The present invention utilizes the characteristics of the thermoelectric element, so that the temperature in the heat generating unit is heated to a maximum of 80 degrees, so that hot water can be used, and at the same time, a high heat of about 20-30 degrees at room temperature (cooling unit) is a special high heat. Heat that can combine hot water and cold air supply that can be prevented from being generated, and that the heat-cooling function that enables the heat-generating part to be maintained at room temperature even when the cooling temperature through the heat absorbing part reaches a maximum of minus 40 degrees is achieved through a single device. The technical problem is to provide a heating and cooling device using a pipe and a thermoelectric element.
