The present invention relates to an air conditioner with a self-cleaning heat exchanger for continuously maintaining the performance of the heat exchanger by easily cleaning the dust and foreign matter collected in the heat exchanger of the air conditioning and heating air conditioner,

More specifically, by spraying using condensation (condensation) water without additional equipment to clean and regenerate foreign substances such as dust collected in the heat exchanger installed inside the air-conditioning and air conditioning system, By using condensed water, it is easy to clean and regenerate foreign substances such as dust collected in the heat exchanger, so it is not necessary to separate water to reduce installation cost, and it does not dismantle and separate the heat exchanger. The present invention relates to an air conditioner equipped with a self-cleaning heat exchanger for maximizing the satisfaction and reliability of the overall air conditioner by saving energy by maintaining the continuous performance of the heat exchanger. .

In general, air conditioners installed indoors of industrial facilities such as subways, underground malls and factories, department stores, hospitals, and other business buildings are used to remove oil dust, moisture, and dust generated by the facility and external air inflows. It is installed and used to remove it.

As such, the air conditioner is essentially provided with a plurality of air filters for collecting large dust and fine dust, and the like, and the air filter has to be managed separately from time to time so as to keep the dust collection efficiency at a constant state. I have to do it.

Maintenance of the filter of the conventional air conditioner is performed by separating the air filter from the housing to be cleaned or cleaned using a separate cleaning device, or by replacing the air filter itself.

In addition, the conventional air-conditioning and air conditioner is unable to remove foreign substances such as dust trapped in the heat exchanger because the heat exchanger does not have a cleaning device and thus cannot be cleaned. As a result, unpurified air is supplied to prevent the original performance of the heat exchanger. There is a problem that is difficult to maintain continuously.

In addition, the heat exchanger in the air conditioner has a problem that the thermal efficiency is significantly lowered because the fine dust passing through the filter is collected between the fins of the heat exchanger due to the condensation that occurs naturally during heat exchange, and the dust collected above cannot be removed. Done.

In order to remove the collected dust, there is a hassle to dismantle and separate the heat exchanger, and the user and worker have to manually wash them manually, or replace the heat exchanger itself. There is a costly problem of having to purchase a heat exchanger.

In addition, the heat exchanger installed inside the air conditioner is not easy to separate and clean the heat exchanger according to the installation place and the installation method, and the work of replacing the heat exchanger itself is also impossible to be performed in a limited space. As the water condensation (condensation) that occurs naturally between the fins during heat exchange flows downward along the fin surface, some of the fine dust passing through the filter is collected in the heat exchanger as the air conditioner is used. Because it is used as it is, the process of losing the performance of the entire surface of the heat exchanger occurs, there is a problem that can not continuously maintain the original performance of the overall heat exchanger.

To remove contaminants collected on the front and rear of the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger is dismantled and separated, and the labor and separate heat exchanger for exchanging the heat exchanger itself and the hassle that a worker or user must manually wash. There is a problem that a lot of replacement of the filter is made at the same time as the cost of purchase is required. Therefore, the heat exchanger of the conventional air conditioner has a limit to its efficiency and environmental pollution and economic loss. Not only is this aggravated, there is always a problem that the overall satisfaction and reliability of use are deteriorated.

The present invention was created to solve all the problems of the prior art as described above has the following object.

In order to remove foreign substances such as dust collected in the heat exchanger installed in the air conditioner, the condensation (condensation) water naturally generated during heat exchange is sprayed and applied to the heat exchanger to increase the cleaning power, and then the second water. It is an object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner in which an automatic cleaning heat exchanger is built to spray and clean and regenerate to prevent the deterioration of the heat exchanger, and to continuously maintain the performance of the heat exchanger.

It is another object of the present invention to reduce the additional cost of additional equipment by eliminating the need for supplying the washing water necessary for cleaning the heat exchanger and consequently a separate washing water due to the cleaning using naturally occurring condensate during heat exchange. By removing and disassembling to clean the machine, it eliminates the trouble of having to wash it manually by the worker and the user, thereby increasing the convenience of the user, thereby minimizing the labor of performing the exchange of the heat exchanger itself and the filter. It is to provide an air conditioner with an automatic cleaning type heat exchanger.

Another object of the present invention is to improve the overall efficiency, such as saving energy by using the naturally occurring condensate during heat exchange, the air with a self-cleaning heat exchanger built to maximize the satisfaction and reliability of the air conditioner To provide a harmonization device.
