여기서, 스크롤 길이(l)는 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 상기 스크롤 하우징(62)의 컷오프지점(c)과 스크롤 확장각이 끝나는 지점(d)까지의 길이를 말하고, 스크롤 높이(h)는 도 2에 도시된 바와 같다. Here, the scroll length l refers to the length from the cutoff point c of the scroll housing 62 to the point d at which the scroll extension angle ends, as shown in FIG. 3, and the scroll height h is As shown in FIG.

상기와 같이 구성된 본 발명에 따른 공기조화기의 작동을 살펴보면 다음과 같다.Looking at the operation of the air conditioner according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

먼저, 상기 제습유로(52)로 유입된 실내 공기는 상기 응축기(58), 제습로터(50)의 흡착부(50a)를 차례로 통과하게 된다. First, the indoor air introduced into the dehumidification passage 52 passes through the adsorption unit 50a of the condenser 58 and the dehumidification rotor 50 in order.

이 때, 상기 제습로터(50)의 흡착부(50a)는 실내공기의 수분을 흡수하게 되고, 실내공기는 상기 흡착부(50a)에 의해 제습된 후 상기 송풍팬(60)의 흡입구(62a)를 통해 상기 송풍팬(60)의 내부로 들어가게 된다. At this time, the adsorption part 50a of the dehumidification rotor 50 absorbs the moisture of the indoor air, and the indoor air is dehumidified by the adsorption part 50a and then the suction port 62a of the blower fan 60. It enters into the blowing fan 60 through.

상기 송풍팬(60)의 내부로 흡입된 공기는 상기 임펠러(64)의 회전에 따라 반경방향으로 토출되는 바, 상기 송풍팬(60)의 내부로 흡입된 공기 중 일부는 상기 제 1토출구(62b)를 통해 상기 제습유로(52)로 토출되고, 나머지는 상기 제 2토출구(62c)를 통해 상기 재생유로(54)로 토출되게 된다. The air sucked into the blower fan 60 is radially discharged as the impeller 64 rotates, and part of the air sucked into the blower fan 60 is the first discharge port 62b. ) Is discharged into the dehumidifying passage 52 and the rest is discharged into the regeneration passage 54 through the second discharge port 62c.

상기 제 1토출구(62b)를 통해 상기 제습유로(52)로 토출된 공기는 다시 실내로 토출되게 된다.The air discharged to the dehumidification passage 52 through the first discharge port 62b is discharged to the room again.

그리고, 상기 제 2토출구(62c)를 통해 상기 재생유로(54)로 토출된 공기는 상기 히터(56)를 통과하면서 가열되고, 상기 히터(56)에 의해 가열된 공기는 상기 제습로터(50)의 재생부(50b)를 통과하면서 상기 재생부(50b)를 건조시키게 되어, 상기 제습로터(50)의 재생부(50b)는 수분을 방출하게 되고, 가열된 공기는 상기 재생부(50b)로부터 수분을 흡수하여 가습된 후 상기 응축기(58)로 유입된다. In addition, the air discharged into the regeneration flow passage 54 through the second discharge port 62c is heated while passing through the heater 56, and the air heated by the heater 56 is the dehumidification rotor 50. The regeneration unit 50b is dried while passing through the regeneration unit 50b, so that the regeneration unit 50b of the dehumidification rotor 50 releases water, and the heated air is discharged from the regeneration unit 50b. Water is absorbed and humidified and then flows into the condenser 58.

상기 응축기(58)로 유입된 공기는 상기 응축기(58)의 외측을 통과하는 실내공기와의 열교환을 하게 되어, 상기 응축기(58) 내부에서 응축된 후, 외부로 토출되게 된다. The air introduced into the condenser 58 undergoes heat exchange with indoor air passing through the outside of the condenser 58, condenses in the condenser 58, and then is discharged to the outside.

따라서, 한 개의 상기 송풍팬(60)만으로도 상기 재생유로(54)와 제습유로(52)로 공기를 송풍시킬 수 있기 때문에, 부품수가 감소되어 비용이 절감될 수 있게 된다. Therefore, since only one blower fan 60 can blow air into the regeneration flow passage 54 and the dehumidification flow passage 52, the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.
