Description

Evaporation System for Air Conditioners for Communication Units {Evaporation System for Airconditioner}

The present invention relates to an air conditioner that cools the heat inside a rack of a communication equipment. Particularly, a condensate generated from a heat exchanger is collected into a bucket, and a PTC heater installed at the side or the bottom of the water container is heated to boil the condensate in the bucket. The present invention relates to a condensate evaporator of an air conditioner for a communicator, which discharges water vapor to the outside through a fan of a heat exchanger to prevent the condensate generated in the heat exchanger from overflowing into the room. As is well known, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the air conditioner includes a compressor 1, a condenser 2, a capillary tube (not shown), and a heat exchanger (evaporator) 3 constituting the refrigeration cycle. It is arranged in a connected state to form a closed circuit.

Then, when the operation of the air conditioner is started and the compressor 1 is operated, when a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows into the condenser 2, the condenser 2 is connected to the outdoor air blown by the outdoor fan 4. The refrigerant is condensed by heat exchange.

The refrigerant condensed as described above is depressurized in the capillary tube and then flows into the heat exchanger (3). The refrigerant introduced into the heat exchanger (3) takes heat away from the indoor air and evaporates. The air is blown back to the room. At this time, the surface of the heat exchanger (3) condenses and condenses moisture contained in the indoor air in a vapor state, and the condensed water formed on the surface of the heat exchanger (3) is water. After collecting to the collecting container 6, the water hose 7 is discharged to the outside or connected to a separate water tank provided with the water hose 7 to the outside so that the drainage is made. However, the air conditioner structure which discharges the condensate generated in the heat exchanger 3 to the outside through the water hose 7 or discharges it to a separate bucket as described above, does not periodically discard the condensate accumulated in the external bucket. If not, water can overflow from the bucket, or if it is not drained properly, the water will accumulate inside the air conditioner or rack and change the temperature and humidity inside the air conditioner. Let's follow.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above conventional problems, the object of the present invention,

After installing the condensate cistern so that the condensate generated from the heat exchanger is high, the PTC heater is installed on the bottom (or side) of the condensate, and the condensate generated from the heat exchanger is drained to the cistern through the cistern The condensed water is heated using a PTC heater to discharge water vapor generated at this time to the outside through the outdoor fan of the heat exchanger to prevent the condensed water generated from the air conditioner from overflowing to the room. For communication device which prevents the occurrence of breakdown of communication equipment installed inside by preventing humidity change

For reference, the drawings referred to below will be described with the same reference numerals for the same parts as in the prior art for convenience of description.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the structure of an air conditioner applied to communication equipment in one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a block diagram of a condensate evaporation device is applied to the bucket of the air conditioner in one embodiment of the present invention.

3 and 4, the compressor 1, the condenser 2, the capillary tube (not shown), the heat exchanger (evaporator) (3) is connected to form a closed circuit by a pipe to form a refrigeration cycle In the air conditioner,

Collecting the condensed water of the refrigerant generated from the evaporation of the heat exchanger (3) to the water reservoir (6), the water reservoir (6) and the water hose to store the condensed water collected by the water reservoir (6) (7) is formed on the water tank 10 connected to the control unit 30 and the inner bottom surface (or side) of the water tank 10 to perform a control operation, the power supplied to the control of the control unit 30 Accordingly, the condensed water stored in the water tank 10 is heated to generate water vapor discharged from the outside fan 4 to the outside, and then consists of a PTC heater 40 which lowers the water level.

Here, since the water vapor emitted from the outdoor fan 4 to the outside does not change into water droplets while colliding with the air at the same time as the external discharge, the disadvantages of the conventional spray method or ultrasonic method (the water particles are larger than the steam, so the water droplets from the outside again) Phenomenon to be reduced to).

In addition, the PTC heater 40 preferably uses a PTC heater that has an excellent effect on power reduction and safety functions while significantly reducing the current supplied when the heat generation is higher than the self-heating, the bucket 10 is inside the air conditioner While seating, it is preferable to form a scattering hole 10a in one side thereof in case the condensate water exceeds an appropriate level.

In addition, by connecting the hose (8) to the scattering life (10a) when the condensed water in the bucket 10 exceeds the appropriate level may be drained to the outside through the hose (8).

Referring to Figures 3 and 4 attached to the operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, when the condensate of the refrigerant generated from the evaporation of the heat exchanger 3 is collected into the water container 6, the water container 6 is stored in the water container 6 through a water hose 7. Connect the bucket (10).

And, one side of the bucket 10 is provided with a PTC heater 40 is heated according to the power supplied from the controller 30.

Thereafter, when the operation of the air conditioner starts and the compressor 1 is operated, a gaseous refrigerant having a high temperature and high pressure flows into the condenser 2, and the condenser 2 is connected to the outdoor air blown by the outdoor fan 4. The refrigerant is condensed by heat exchange.

The condensed refrigerant is decompressed in a capillary tube and then introduced into the heat exchanger (3). In the heat exchanger (3), the refrigerant flows away from the indoor air and evaporates the cooled refrigerant. 5) blow into the room.

On the other hand, the surface of the heat exchanger (3) is condensed by the water contained in the steam in the indoor air condensation bar, condensed water formed on the surface of the heat exchanger (3) is collected in the water container (6) It is discharged to the bucket 10 through the hose (7).

At this time, when the water level of the bucket 10 exceeds the proper level, the condensed water in the bucket 10 is discharged to the outside by the hose 8 connected to the scattering hole 10a.

In addition, the PTC heater 40 formed on the side surface of the bucket 10 according to the power supplied from the controller 30 is heated to boil the condensed water stored in the bucket 10. At this time, the PTC heater 40 The steam generated from heating is externally discharged from the outdoor fan 4 of the air conditioner. Since the water vapor discharged from the outdoor fan 4 to the outside does not turn into water droplets while hitting the air at the same time as the external discharge, The disadvantages of the conventional spraying method or ultrasonic method (water phenomena are larger than the vapor, so that the phenomenon of reducing to water droplets from the outside again) is to be solved.

As described above, the present invention installs a condensate collection bucket so that the condensate generated in the heat exchanger is high, and then embeds an electric heater at the bottom thereof, thereby draining the condensate generated from the heat exchanger to the bucket through the water container. Then, the drained condensate is heated by the PTC heater formed on the side of the water tank to generate condensate. At this time, the condensate generated in the air conditioner is discharged to the outside through the outdoor fan of the heat exchanger. It prevents it from overflowing to the room, and at the same time, it prevents the temperature and humidity change inside the air conditioner, thereby preventing the occurrence of malfunction of the communication equipment installed therein.
