Description

Condensate evaporator for air conditioners {APPARATUS FOR EVAPORATING CONDENSING WATER DISCHARGED AIRCONDITIONER}

The present invention relates to a condensate evaporator for an air conditioner, and more particularly, to condense the condensate into a small volume of droplets and simultaneously evaporate through the condenser coil, simplify the device structure required for condensate evaporation, and The present invention relates to a condensate evaporator for an air conditioner, which lowers the condensation temperature and the condensation pressure to improve the cooling efficiency and the cooling performance of the condenser.

In general, an air conditioning system refers to a system that generates cold and warm air by repeating a process of compressing, condensing, expanding, and evaporating a refrigerant, and using the same, to maintain indoor air at a comfortable state at all times.

Among these air conditioning systems, the air conditioner plays a key role in generating cold air, and is mainly composed of a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and an expansion valve.

First, the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a gaseous state of high temperature and high pressure, and sends the compressed refrigerant to a condenser, a swash plate type, a vane rotary type, and a wobble plate. Type (Wobble plate type).

The condenser serves to condense the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant sent from the compressor to the liquid by external air and to send it to the expansion valve. The evaporator is a free gas through the expansion valve. Receives a rapidly expanded refrigerant to evaporate to a low temperature low pressure gas to take the heat of the evaporation when the evaporation to obtain a cold wind.

Looking at the operating principle of the air conditioner of the configuration as described above, the refrigerant gas of the high temperature and high pressure compressed in the compressor is introduced into the condenser and heat exchange, thereby changing to a liquid low temperature high pressure refrigerant. The low-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant from the condenser passes through the expansion valve (capillary tube) to become a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant and enters the evaporator, and the low-temperature refrigerant is exchanged with indoor air to become a gas state, whereby the refrigerant is introduced again into the compressor. .

Here, a blower fan is installed around the evaporator, so that air at room temperature passes between the cooling fins of the evaporator through the blower fan. The cooling fins take heat from the air while the refrigerant turns into a gas and evaporate to cool the surroundings. As the blower fan moves around the cold fins, the cold wind comes out.

At this time, in the evaporator, the air at room temperature passes between the cooling fins, so that the moisture contained in the air is condensed and condensed water flows down. Various methods have been taken to treat the condensed water.

1 is for the "condensate automatic drainage of the air conditioner" disclosed in the Korean Utility Model Publication No. 2001-0001269 of the conventional condensate treatment technology, briefly, the drain pan 11 installed in the lower portion of the evaporator (8) ), A drain hose 15 connected to the drain pan 11 through the drain hole 13, an opening and closing device 20 for opening and closing the drain hole 13 according to an input signal, and the drain pan 15. It is configured to include a detection device 30 installed inside to detect the level of condensate, and a control device 40 for controlling the operation of the opening and closing device 20 according to the input signal from the detection device 30. .

That is, when the condensed water in the drain pan is filled to a predetermined level or more during the air conditioner operation, the condensed water can be automatically drained to the outside at once, thereby preventing the condensed water in the drain pan from overflowing when the amount of condensed water is rapidly increased.

However, the conventional condensate drainage device has a problem that the surrounding environment becomes dirty by directly discharging the condensate accumulated in the drain pan by using a discharge hose, and in particular, when the air conditioner is installed indoors, the condensate is discharged. There was also a problem that must be secured.

In addition, there is a concern that pathogenic bacteria, including Legionella, which is a causative agent of cooling disease, may grow by condensed water being discharged or accumulated in one place.

2 is for the "condensate evaporator of the air conditioner for the communication" disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2004-0065544 among other conventional condensate treatment technology, briefly look at the compressor (1), condenser (2), capillary, The heat exchanger (3) is connected to form a closed circuit by a pipe to form a refrigeration cycle, while collecting the condensed water of the refrigerant generated from the evaporation of the heat exchanger (3) to the water container (6), and Inside the air conditioner to form a bucket (10) for receiving and storing the condensed water collected by the water reservoir (6) through the water hose (7), the PTC heater which is always powered on one side of the bucket (10) 40) is configured by installing.

That is, the condensate stored in the water tank is heated by the PTC heater to generate steam, and is discharged from the outdoor fan to the outside.

However, the above-described conventional condensate evaporator has a problem in that the power consumption is further increased with the use of electricity required for driving the air conditioner due to the structure characteristic of operating the heater using electricity.

Furthermore, in the conventional condensate evaporator, the heat dissipated from the heater raises the temperature around the condenser, so that the temperature of the air introduced into the condenser is increased to increase the condensation temperature and the condensing pressure, and also increases the freezer load. Refrigerator power consumption is increased, as well as the life of the refrigerator is shortened. Therefore, a problem arises in that the temperature of the condensed refrigerant rises, thereby lowering the freezing efficiency and the freezing capacity.

In addition, there is a problem that additional costs are required to stop the operation and maintenance due to frequent failure of the heater, and there is also a problem that the facility cost is increased due to the establishment or replacement of the electric supply wire due to the high electricity consumption, Even if safety measures were taken in accordance with the use, there was a problem that the risk of fire still remained.

On the other hand, although not shown in the drawings, a method of evaporating condensate is also proposed by flowing condensate into a condenser coil that dissipates heat by another conventional condensate treatment technique.

However, in the conventional condensate evaporation technique, the heat emitted from the condenser coil is transferred to the surface of the condensate so that the condensate evaporation takes place. The thickness of the condensate falling along the condenser coil is relatively thick, and the flow rate of the condensate is relatively high. The condensate flows down before the heat of the condenser coil reaches the surface of the condensate so that the condensate can not evaporate smoothly.

In addition, the condensed water that is not evaporated is re-recovered through a pump or the like flows back to the condenser coil, the reclaimed condensed water is increased by the temperature by the condenser coil, the microorganisms multiply quickly, and the filtered foreign matters, etc. This mixed reaction forms sludge. Therefore, the nozzle or the circulation line for supplying the condensed water is blocked by the sludge, and thus the condensed water supply is not smoothly performed, and there is a need for continuous maintenance and maintenance.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the condensate evaporator for air conditioner to dissipate the condensate supplied to the cooling fan into a small droplet of water and to evaporate through the condenser coil at the same time To provide.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a condensate evaporator for an air conditioner which enables evaporation of condensate while consuming or minimizing electricity, and simplifies a device structure necessary for condensate evaporation.

Another object of the present invention is to reduce the condensation temperature and condensation pressure of the condenser through the condensate splashed on the condenser coil, to improve the cooling efficiency and cooling performance of the condenser, and to extend the life of the product, To provide.

It can be formed by adjusting accordingly.

Next, referring to the second embodiment of the pumping means through FIG. 9, one end of the suction hose 270 is positioned in the reservoir 240, and the other end of the suction hose 270 is a cooling fan 210. Positioned close to the central rotation shaft 215, the condensed water in the reservoir 240 is sucked by the centrifugal force according to the rotation of the cooling fan 210 is supplied to the cooling fan 210. That is, as the cooling fan 210 is rotated, the suction force is generated in the central portion of the cooling fan 210, thereby allowing the condensed water inside the reservoir 240 to be sucked through the suction hose 270.

Subsequently, referring to the configuration of the third embodiment of the pumping means through FIGS. 10A and 10B, a plurality of buckets 280 are installed at equal intervals along the outer circumferential surface of the scattering ring 220 and stored in the reservoir 240.

Referring to the operation and effect of the present invention configured as described in detail as follows.

Looking at the action of evaporating the condensate water through the condensate evaporator for air conditioning according to the present invention, in the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the condensate flowed down from the evaporator 400 is collected in the sump 420, the collected condensate is It is supplied to the center of the cooling fan 210 through the supply hose 430.

As such, when the condensed water is supplied, the cooling fan 210 rotates at a high speed, so that the condensed water flows out along the blades of the cooling fan 210 by the centrifugal force applied to the cooling fan 210, and is scattered in all directions. . At this time, as the condensate is scattered as described above, the condensate is rubbing on the surface of the wing before the scattering, the moving volume of the condensate is significantly reduced compared to the original supply volume is to be scattered in the form of small droplets.

The condensed water scattered in the form of small droplets is dispersed in the form of smaller droplets while being strongly hit by the scattering net 230 outside the cooling fan 210 by centrifugal force by the rotation of the cooling fan 210, and also scattered as described above. The condensed water dispersed by the net 230 hits the condenser coil by the wind blown from the cooling fan 210 and evaporates in the form of water vapor. Here, the condensate finally dispersed by the scattering net 230 is to be evaporated by the heat generated from the condenser coil, it is dispersed in a very small droplet form.

On the other hand, in the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 6 by the scattering ring 220 is installed outside the cooling fan 210, as described above, the condensed water supplied to the cooling fan 210 in the center of the blade of the cooling fan 210 As it flows outwards and is scattered in small water droplets in all directions, the condensate that is scattered in this way is dispersed in a smaller droplet form while being strongly hit by the scattering ring 220 outside the cooling fan 210 by centrifugal force.

At this time, a part of the condensed water hit the scattering ring 220 is rotated with the scattering ring 220 to be rubbed on the inner circumferential surface of the scattering ring 220, so that the moving volume of the condensate to the condensate volume scattered in the cooling fan 210 Compared with this, the water droplets are significantly reduced, so that scattering occurs in the form of smaller droplets.

In addition, the remaining condensate hit by the scattering ring 220 together with the condensate splashed as described above is strongly scattered to the scattering net 230 outside the scattering ring 220 by centrifugal force by the rotation of the cooling fan 210. As they collide, they are dispersed in smaller droplets. Thereafter, the condensed water dispersed as described above hits the condenser coil to evaporate.

In addition, in the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 7, the condensed water supplied through the supply hose 430 is directly supplied to the scattering ring 220, the condensate is rotated with the scattering ring 220, friction on the inner peripheral surface of the scattering ring 220 Will flow.

The condensate that is dispersed together impinges on the condenser coil to evaporate.

Meanwhile, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the condensed water flowing down from the evaporator 400 is collected in the water collecting container 420, and the collected condensed water is stored in the water reservoir 240 again through the supply hose 430. Then, while the pump 250 installed in the reservoir 240 is driven, the condensed water stored in the reservoir 240 is supplied to the cooling fan 210 and the scattering ring 220 through the pump hose 260. .

Thereafter, the condensate is scattered in the form of droplets by the centrifugal force and the scattering net 230 according to the rotation of the cooling fan 210 and the scattering ring 220, and evaporation is performed through the condenser coil. The scattering and evaporation actions have been described above several times and will be omitted.

In addition, in the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 9 condensate flowed down from the evaporator 400 is collected in the sump container 420, and is stored again inside the reservoir 240 through the supply hose 430. In addition, while the cooling fan 210 rotates at a high speed, the centrifugal force is strongly applied to the wing of the cooling fan 210 toward the outer portion, while the central portion of the cooling fan 210 induces vacuum by the centrifugal force described above. Then, the condensed water in the reservoir 240 is pulled up through the suction hose 270, thereby allowing the condensed water to be supplied to the central portion of the cooling fan 210.

Thereafter, the condensate is scattered in the form of droplets by the centrifugal force and the scattering net 230 according to the rotation of the cooling fan 210 and the scattering ring 220, and evaporates through the condenser coil. The scattering and evaporation actions have been described above several times and will be omitted.

10A and 10B, the condensed water flowing down from the evaporator 400 is collected in the sump 420, and is again stored in the sump 240 through the supply hose 430. In addition, as the cooling fan 210 and the scattering ring 220 is rotated, the bucket 280 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the scattering ring 220 pumps up the condensate stored in the reservoir 240, and scatters the condensate. 220 and the cooling fan 210 can be supplied.

Thereafter, the condensate is scattered in the form of droplets by the centrifugal force and the scattering net 230 according to the rotation of the cooling fan 210 and the scattering ring 220, and evaporates through the condenser coil. The scattering and evaporation actions have been described above several times and will be omitted.

Next, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the condensed water flowing down from the evaporator 400 is collected in the sump 420, and is again stored in the sump 240 through the supply hose 430. Along with this, the aberration 290 installed in the reservoir 240 rotates to supply the condensed water to the scattering ring 220 and the cooling fan 210.

Thereafter, the condensate is scattered in the form of droplets by the centrifugal force and the scattering net 230 according to the rotation of the cooling fan 210 and the scattering ring 220, and evaporates through the condenser coil. The scattering and evaporation actions have been described above several times and will be omitted.

As described above, the condensate evaporator for an air conditioner of the present invention supplies condensate generated from the evaporator 400 to the cooling fan 210 and / or the scattering ring 220 to be scattered in the form of droplets, and again, the scattering net 230. By colliding hardly and dispersing in the form of smaller water droplets and then instantaneously evaporating through the condenser coil, condensate can be easily processed.

In other words, by crushing the condensate in the form of droplets, the time for the heat of the condenser coil to reach the core of the condensate droplets is significantly shortened, so that the condensate can be evaporated quickly and reliably.

Furthermore, by cooling the refrigerant passing through the condenser 200 while condensate hits the condenser coil to evaporate, the condensation temperature and condensation pressure can be lowered to improve the cooling efficiency and cooling performance, and to extend the life of the refrigerator. As shown in Table 1 below, by reducing the load on the freezer by more than 10%, it is possible to greatly reduce the electricity bill according to the air conditioner operation.
