Description

The utility model relates to the field of climatic devices for creating and maintaining a certain air humidity, namely to devices for air humidification with volumetric ultraviolet sterilization of circulating water during its preparation for spraying, and is intended for use in residential premises, offices, shopping centers, etc. .

A device for water treatment is known (RF patent No. 152474, published on June 10, 2015), containing a tank for storing running water, an ultraviolet treatment unit located at the entrance to the specified tank for disinfecting water entering the tank, a spray unit located at the outlet of the tank for water storage.

The disadvantage of this flow-through design is the short time of irradiation of water, as a result of which the microflora elements contained in the irradiated water receive an insufficient radiation dose to kill them. In addition, the lack of water circulation does not prevent the growth of microflora after a flow-through ultraviolet lamp.

An air humidifier is known (KR 20040105424, published 12/16/2004), adopted as the closest analogue to the claimed solution, containing a tank for storing circulating water, an ultraviolet lamp installed in the tank for storing circulating water, a circulation pump supplying water under high pressure from a tank for storing circulating water into a vertically located working pipeline having spray nozzles.

UV lamps are widely known for their sterilizing effect. The use of a UV lamp located in a tank for storing circulating water allows continuous volumetric sterilization of all water contained in the tank for its high-quality preparation for spraying into the room. Volumetric ultraviolet water disinfection allows the use of arbitrarily high doses of radiation, which is guaranteed to lead to the death of microorganisms.

However, the disadvantage of the considered solution is the use of a working pipeline design with spray nozzles, which is a “dead-end” pipeline. In this case, stopping the operation of the humidifier leads to stagnation of water in the working pipeline and the proliferation of dangerous microorganisms in it, which, when the device resumes operation, enters the room along with the sprayed water. In other words, the design of this humidifier does not provide for disinfection of the water flow with accumulated microflora that occurs when the device is not in operation. As a result, this humidifier design does not have a sufficient level of reliability.

In addition, stopping the operation of the device can lead to the formation of films that clog the outlet openings of the spray nozzles, which further reduces the reliability of the solution considered.

The technical problem of this utility model is the creation of a device for air humidification, which allows not only to carry out volumetric ultraviolet sterilization of water for safe humidification of air in the room, but also to provide an annular circulation of water, simplifying the movement of unsprayed water back into the tank for storing circulating water for its repeated ultraviolet sterilization.

The technical result of the utility model is to increase the reliability of the humidification device due to the design features of the solution.

The technical result is achieved by using a device for humidifying air, containing a tank for storing circulating water, an ultraviolet radiation device installed in the tank for storing circulating water, an electric pump located in the lower part of the tank for storing circulating water, a working pipeline having spray devices, and the electric pump connected to the first end of the working pipeline, the other end of which is connected to the top of the circulating water storage tank.

In a particular case, the upper part of the circulating water storage tank is connected to a low pressure pipeline for water supply.

In a particular case, the ultraviolet radiation device is located in a quartz case.

In a particular case, the ultraviolet radiation device is installed in a tank for storing circulating water in a vertical position.

However, it is worth noting that the location of the ultraviolet irradiation device in the circulating water storage tank can be arbitrary. A necessary condition is sterilization of the entire volume of water in the specified tank.

In particular, spray devices are nozzles and ultrasonic sprayers.

The location of the ultraviolet radiation device in the tank for storing circulating water ensures constant irradiation of the entire volume of water initially contained in the tank or entering it from the working pipeline, which guarantees stable air humidification that is safe for human health.

The connection of the electric pump with the first end of the working pipeline, the other end of which is connected to the upper part of the tank for storing circulating water, allows you to obtain a circular circulation of water from the tank for storing water again into this tank, when the prepared water flows freely in one direction, which eliminates the occurrence of stagnant zones where accumulation of dirt and dangerous microflora for humans is possible. In this case, when the device resumes operation after its downtime, the stagnant water is first washed out of the working pipeline and enters the circulating water storage tank, where it undergoes ultraviolet sterilization, and only then enters the room. Thus, these features of the proposed solution indicate an increase in the reliability of its operation throughout its entire service life.

The air humidification device contains a tank for storing circulating water 1, an ultraviolet radiation device 2 (UV lamp) installed in the said tank 1 to implement volumetric ultraviolet sterilization of the water contained therein.

An electric pump 3 is installed in the lower part of the circulating water storage tank 1. The output of the electric pump 3 is connected to the first end of the working pipeline 4.

The working pipeline 4 contains control and shut-off elements (not shown), as well as spray devices 5 (nozzles, ultrasonic sprayers, etc.).

The working pipeline 4 is positioned so that its second end is connected to the top of the circulating water storage tank 1 .

A low pressure pipeline 6 is also installed at the entrance to the circulating water storage tank 1.

The humidification device operates as follows.

The prepared water through the low-pressure pipeline 6 enters the upper part of the tank for storing circulating water, in which a UV lamp 2 is installed in a quartz case. Water, being in tank 1, continuously receives the required dose of ultraviolet radiation. The quartz cover is a necessary measure to prevent water from entering the UV lamp 2 itself.

Using an electric pump 3, disinfected water is supplied through a working pipeline 4 to spray devices 5, which spray disinfected water directly into the room.

Part of the water, moving further along the working pipeline 4, as a result of circulation, falls back into the circulating water storage tank 1, where it is re-irradiated with a UV lamp 2.

Circulation can be continuous or periodic when interruptions occur in the operation of the device. When the humidifier resumes operation, the microflora elements contained in the working pipeline 4 are first washed out with water and enter the tank 1, where they are destroyed by ultraviolet irradiation, and then enter the room.

As a result, the proposed solution ensures the absence of pathogenic microorganisms in the sprayed water throughout the entire operation of the air humidification device in accordance with sanitary and hygienic standards, and also allows the destruction of microflora elements contained in the working pipeline, which may be present in it after installation or for a long period of time. just me. These advantages make the proposed humidifier design stand out among well-known analogues on the market.
