Description

Humidifier Using Heat of Hot Water Boiler

The present invention relates to a humidifier using heat of a hot water boiler, and more particularly, to generate moisture by inducing natural evaporation by guiding hot water emitted to generate hot water to contact water stored in a humidification tank. And it relates to a humidifier using the heat of the hot water boiler to discharge.

In general, a hot water boiler refers to a device for heating by generating hot water and supplying and circulating the hot water to a heating product such as a mat or a floor covering.

Conventionally, as a technology for heating a heating product as described above, the heating wire is embedded in the heating product and electric power is generated to generate heat by electric resistance, and this heating method inevitably generates electromagnetic waves. Not only the side effects on the human body are very large, but there is also a risk of fire due to electric overheating and electric leakage.Therefore, there was a big problem in safety, and the hot water boiler using hot water instead of using electric heat through the recognition of the problems with conventional electric heating. Has developed.

These hot water boilers start with the method of circulating the stored water through a heating device and circulating the heated hot water by using a separate power device such as an underwater pump. Recently, the phase change of water is performed without using a separate power device. Various techniques have been developed to circulate hot water by using steam pressure generated through a variety of products, and a variety of products employing these technologies have been produced and used.

However, although hot water boilers have a variety of technologies for generating and circulating hot water as described above, most of them generate hot water by heating water, and the generated hot water is heated by using power, whether the power of a pump or the power of steam. There is a problem that only the technology for circulating in the air is employed, and the aspect for providing energy efficiency or the health or comfort of the user who uses the heating product is not considered at all.

In other words, when the hot water boiler is operated, thermal energy is inevitably released during the hot water generation process, which is a big problem in terms of energy efficiency since such heat energy is consumed and released into the atmosphere.

In addition, since hot water boilers are mainly used for heating, it is common to use them in dry late autumn or winter, and as described above, a large amount of heat is released into the atmosphere, so that a hot water boiler is operated for heating.

Therefore, the combined use of the humidifier hot water boiler does not consume any heat energy emitted from the hot water boiler and consumes additional energy, such as a bar heater, which is a humidification method that must boil water for humidification. In terms of energy efficiency, there is a bigger problem, and there is a problem that it is not much different from simply operating a conventional hot water boiler and a separate humidifier at the same time.

In addition, the humidifier combined hot water boiler is made of a heating method that boils a certain amount of water filled in the humidifier as a humidification method to generate water vapor. In the case of such a heating humidifier, various inorganic substances contained in the water when evaporated with water vapor As it is contained in the particles as it is inhaled into the human body through the user's respiratory tract is known a problem that may harm the health of the user.

The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the object of the present invention is that by using the heat that is discharged during the hot water generation process of the hot water boiler by humidifying does not consume extra energy for humidification It is to provide a humidifier using the heat of the hot water boiler to increase the energy efficiency by using the heat discarded together.

 The humidifier using the heat of the hot water boiler according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed in the hot water boiler as described above, the humidification tank (10) for storing the water for humidification, the hot air guide (20) to guide the heat. And a hot air discharge port 30 for discharging heat and a moisture discharge port 40 for discharging moisture.

The humidification tank 10 accommodates and stores humidifying water therein, and a water inlet 11 is formed at one side of the upper surface to inject water from the outside.

The humidification tank 10 is installed above the hot water generation supply unit 2 so as to be affected by the heat released from the hot water generation supply unit 2 and rising according to the convection phenomenon, the circumference of the water storage tank 1 It may be installed in the form of wrapping.

That is, as shown in the drawings, a cylindrical water storage tank 1 is located inside, and the humidification tank 10 has a donut-shaped wastewater passage 12 that surrounds the water storage tank 1. Can have Of course, if the shape of the storage tank (1) located inside is not cylindrical, it is natural that the shape of the humidification tank 10 can also be changed in design corresponding to the shape.

The humidification tank 10 is formed in the form of a wastewater passage 12 surrounding the circumference of the water storage tank 1 as described below. Since the humidification method of the present invention is a natural humidification method according to contact between heat and water, the wastewater This is to increase the length of the channel of the humidification tank 10 through which heat can pass through the limited humidification tank space through the formation of the furnace 12, and thus the time that the heat contacts the water surface of the humidifying water to cause evaporation. This is because the humidification efficiency can be increased by increasing the amount.

The hot air path 20 is a passage for guiding the heat discharged from the hot water generating and supplying part 2 into the humidification tank 10, and humidifying at the lower surface of the humidification tank 10. It is formed to extend upward into the tank 10.

The hot air path 20 may be formed to have the largest cross-sectional area of the lower inlet through which the rising heat flows, and the cross-sectional area of the lower inlet increases gradually.

This shape of the hot air guide passage 20 has a function of allowing the hot air rising by increasing the lower inlet to be better introduced into the inlet of the hot guide passage 20, and the cross-sectional area of the discharge side of the upper portion It decreases and increases the speed of the discharged heat.

Here, in the above drawings, the cross-sectional area is reduced in a straight line while the hot guide path 20 is raised upward, but the cross-sectional area is not necessarily a straight line, but may be formed in a streamline shape.

The hot air discharge port 30 is formed on the top of the hot air guide 20 to discharge the heat guided through the hot air guide 20 toward the water surface of the humidifying water stored in the humidification tank 10. Function

To this end, the hot air discharge port 30 may be formed to be inclined toward the water direction of the humidifying water at the upper end of the hot air path (20).

The moisture discharge port 40 is for discharging moisture to the outside of the humidification tank 10, is formed on the top surface of the humidification tank (10).

The hot air discharged from the hot air discharge port 30 comes into contact with water while passing through the water surface of the humidifying water, and is generated as moisture while causing a natural evaporation to separate the water particles through such contact. It is discharged to outside through 40).

As described above, the heat discharged from the hot water generating and supplying unit 2 is guided through the hot guide path 20 to be discharged toward the water surface through the hot air discharging outlet 30, and then generated as moisture through contact with the water surface. 40 is discharged through the evaporation drum body 50 on the waste water passage 12 between the hot air discharge port 30 and the moisture discharge port 40 in order to further improve the natural evaporation efficiency through the contact of heat and water. Can be installed.

The evaporation drum body 50 is to improve the humidification efficiency by increasing the contact surface area of the heat and water passing through the water surface, a plurality of protrusions 52 for forming a cylindrical shape and to increase the surface area on the outer peripheral surface is formed The drum body 51 is included.

The drum body 51 is automatically lifted by buoyancy so that only a portion of the lower end is submerged in water so that the inside may be formed of a light material that is empty.

In addition, the drum body 51 may be installed to be rotatable by hot air blowing while being fixed at a predetermined point on the wastewater passage 12 of the humidification tank 10 while receiving buoyancy.

To this end, as shown in FIG. 5, the rotating shaft 53 is installed at the center of the drum body 51 so as to be freely rotatable, and in the vertical direction on both side walls of the waste water passages 12 of the humidification tank 10. A pair of guide grooves 54 are formed, respectively, and both ends of the rotation shaft 53 may be inserted into the pair of guide grooves 54 so as to be freely movable in the vertical direction by buoyancy.

Through this configuration, the evaporating drum body 50 floats on the water surface because it is rotated by the blowing heat, but the outer circumferential surface and the protruding protrusions can keep the state soaked in water. It floats on the surface of water and has a large surface area to make contact with heat to increase evaporation efficiency.

On the other hand, the hot air guide passage 20, the moisture discharge port 40, the evaporation drum body 50 is formed at a predetermined interval along the waste water passage 12 of the humidification tank 10, the hot air discharge port 30 of the above-described configuration.

In addition, a blower fan 80 may be further installed below the hot water generating supply unit 2.

The blower fan 80 is drawn up by natural convection to suck more external air into the hot air flowing into the hot air path 20 forcibly blowing the air to allow more heat to flow into the hot air path 20. will be.

In addition, in the case of forcibly inhaling the outside air through the blower fan 80, an air filter (not shown) may be further installed at a portion where the outside air is inhaled to block harmful substances such as dust.

Referring to the operation of the humidifier using the heat of the hot water boiler according to an embodiment of the present invention made as described above are as follows.

First, water is stored in the water storage tank 1 for hot water generation of the hot water boiler, and also water is stored in the humidification tank 10 for humidification.

In addition, when the hot water boiler is operated, the water of the water storage tank 1 is supplied to the hot water generating supply unit 2, and the heating heater of the hot water generating supply unit generates heat and proceeds to supply hot water generation and heating products.

The hot water generation and supply process is made in a variety of ways, such as the circulation pump is operated in addition to the heating heater according to the method of the hot water boiler, during this process a lot of heat is released from the hot water generation supply (2).

The discharged hot air rises according to the convection phenomenon and indirectly heats the humidification tank 10 and flows into the heat guide path 20 to be guided into the humidification tank 10.

The heat introduced into the hot air guide passage 20 is discharged toward the water surface stored in the humidification tank 10 through the hot air discharge port 30, and the discharged hot air moves along the wastewater passage 12 while being in contact with the water surface. After the water is evaporated while being in contact with the evaporation drum body 50 having a large surface area, the water is discharged to the outside through the moisture outlet 40.

Here, if the hot water boiler is continuously operated, the humidification tank 10 itself is continuously indirectly heated by the discharged heat, and thus the stored humidifying water will increase in temperature. Accordingly, as the temperature increases, the movement of the stored water particles becomes more active, and thus the binding force between the water particles is reduced, so that the evaporation through contact with the introduced heat becomes more active, so that the amount of humidification will increase as the operation continues.

And, it is also possible to further increase the amount of humidification by operating the blower fan 80 as needed.

As described above, the humidifier according to the present invention is configured to be humidified by using the waste heat discarded from the hot water boiler for heating it can be seen that the energy efficiency can be significantly improved, and also the humidification method Since it uses a natural evaporation method, such as the humidification by the air sweeping the surface of the sea or the river, it can be seen that a more beneficial humidification effect on the human body than the conventional humidifiers.

As mentioned above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and drawings, and is modified or changed by those skilled in the art. Equivalent configuration will be made without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
