The fan part 13 also includes a communication Channel 21b, the communication channel 21b connects the air collecting chamber and the condensation inlet, and the communicating channel 21b extends in the horizontal direction, which can increase the direct facing area between the air collecting chamber and the communicating channel 21b, so that the wind wheel can drive the air flow more effectively during the rotation process . The communication channel 21b communicates with the condensation chamber 210, and the condensed low-temperature dry air continues to flow to the downstream drying tunnel through the communication channel 21b, wherein the communication channel 21b is located at the upper part of the condensation chamber 210 and extends in the horizontal direction.

As shown in Figure 5, according to one embodiment of the present application, the outside of the condenser housing 21 is provided with a water inlet pipe 23 communicating with the water inlet end of the water outlet device 22, the water inlet end is located at the lowermost side of the water outlet device 22, and the water outlet The device 22 extends obliquely from the condensation inlet 2101 to the condensation outlet 2102, and the water inlet end is arranged on the water outlet device 22, so that the flow direction of the cooling water is consistent with the flow direction of the air flow, and the contact time between the cooling water and the air flow is prolonged to improve cooling. The heat exchange efficiency of water to air improves the condensation effect of the condenser 2.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the outer side of the condenser housing 21 is provided with a water inlet pipe 23 communicating with the water inlet end of the water outlet device 22. The water inlet pipe 23 is suitable for being connected with an external cooling water source, and the water inlet pipe 23 can cool the outside. The water source is guided to the water outlet device 22 to realize heat exchange with the airflow in the cooling chamber.
