Method used

The cooling and dehumidification mode of the two-stage runner dehumidification air conditioner realized by the above structure is: the second-stage processing air inlet air valve 27 is closed in winter, the processing air bypass valve 31 is closed, and the processing air intermediate valve 29 is opened. Outdoor air or indoor return air, or indoor and outdoor mixed air (referred to as treated air) enters the first-stage treatment area 23 of the dehumidification rotor 2 from the treatment air inlet duct 11, and the moisture in the air is absorbed by the dehumidification rotor. The process is an isenthalpic process. The air temperature has risen, if you continue to dehumidify, the dehumidification effect will become worse. Therefore, the treatment air then enters the first-stage treatment heat exchanger 13 through the treatment air intermediate valve 29, and transfers heat to the cooling medium on the other side of the heat exchanger. In this embodiment, the cooling medium is air (or water). Then, the cooled air enters the second-stage treatment area 25 of the dehumidification wheel 2 again, and the moisture in the air is further absorbed by the second-stage treatment area 25 of the dehumidification wheel 2 to become air with a lower moisture content. Then, it enters the second-stage processing heat exchanger 6 again, and transfers heat to the cooling medium on the other side of the heat exchanger. Since the selected cooling medium is cooling tower cold water or outdoor air, or indoor return air, the temperature drop of the treated air through the second-stage heat exchanger 7 has not yet reached the comfortable air supply requirement. Since the moisture content of the processing air at this time is low, that is, the enthalpy drop has reached the air supply requirement, the processing air flows through the evaporative cooler 8 to reduce the temperature and humidity and increase the moisture content, thereby achieving a comfortable air supply temperature and humidity working condition . The flow of the processing wind is driven by the processing fan 9 at the outlet of the evaporative cooler 8 (the processing fan ...

The runner driving motor 3, the runner driving belt 4 (or gear), and the dehumidifying runner 2 constitute the runner driving component.
[0035] The air flow of the rotary dehumidifier is divided into two paths, namely the treatment air path and the regeneration air path. The connection method of the treatment air path is as follows: the inlet air duct 11 of the treatment air is connected to the air inlet side of the first-stage treatment area 23 of the dehumidification rotor 2, and the air outlet side of the first-stage treatment area 23 is exchanged with the first-stage treatment area through the air duct. Heater 14 is connected to the processing side inlet. The outlet of the treatment side of the first-stage treatment heat exchanger 13 is connected to the air inlet side of the second-stage treatment area 25 of the dehumidification rotor 2 through an air duct. The air outlet side of the second-stage treatment area 25 is connected to the treatment-side inlet of the second-stage treatment heat exchanger 6 through an air duct, and the treatment-side outlet of the second-stage treatment heat exchanger 6 is connected to the evaporative cooler 8 through an air duct. The evaporative cooler 8 is then connected to the processing fan 9 .
[0036] The connection mode of the regeneration air path is as follows: the regeneration air inlet manifold 16 is connected to the inlet of the regeneration side evaporative cooler 15, and then the regeneration side evaporative cooler 15 is connected to the first-stage processing heat exchanger 13 and the second-stage processing heat exchanger 6 respectively. (Regeneration air is used to cool the process air and is preheated). One side of the first-stage regeneration heater 12 is connected to the outlet of the regeneration air side of the first-stage treatment heat exchanger 13, and the other side is connected to the first-stage regeneration zone 24 of the dehumidification rotor 2 through an air duct. The first-stage regeneration zone 24 The air outlet side is connected to the first-stage regeneration fan 10 . One side of the second-stage regeneration heater 5 is connected to the second-stage treatment heat exchanger 6, and the other side is connected to the second-stage regeneration zone 26 of the dehumidification rotor 2. The output of the second-stage regeneration zone 26 of the dehumidification rotor 2 The wind side is connected to the second-stage regeneration fan 1 (it can also be connected to the first-stage regeneration fan 10 through an air duct, that is, the regeneration side is driven by only one air duct). The two-stage regeneration side components are connected in parallel.
[0037] The connection method of the solar device is as follows: the solar collector 22 is connected in parallel with the auxiliary water heater 21, and is connected with the heat exchanger 19 in the water tank 18, and the water tank is used for heating domestic hot water. The bypass water pipe 20 is connected in parallel with the water tank, and is connected with the solar collector 22 and the auxiliary water heater 21 . The heat exchanger 19 and the bypass water pipe 20 are connected to the hot water pump 17 through water pipes, and the hot water pump 17 is connected to the water side inlets of the first-stage regeneration heater 12 and the second-stage regeneration heater 5 through water pipes. The first-stage regeneration heater 12 and the water-side outlet of the second-stage regeneration heater 5 are connected to the solar heat collector 22 to form a closed cycle. In this case, the water sides of the two regeneration heaters are in parallel. The two-stage regeneration heater can also be connected in series, that is, the hot water pump 17 is connected to the first-stage regeneration heater 12 through a water pipe, and the first-stage regeneration heater 12 is connected to the second-stage regeneration heater 5 . The second-stage regenerative heater 5 is connected to the solar collector 22 to form a closed cycle. Alternatively, the hot water pump 17 is connected to the second-stage regeneration heater 5 through a water pipe, and the second-stage regeneration heater 5 is further connected to the first-stage regeneration heater 12 . The first-stage regenerative heater 12 is connected to the solar collector 22 to form a closed cycle of hot water.
[0038] The cooling and dehumidification method of the two-stage rotary dehumidification air conditioner realized by the above equipment is: outdoor air or indoor return air, or indoor and outdoor mixed air (referred to as treatment air) enters the first stage of the dehumidification wheel 2 through the treatment air inlet air duct 11. In the treatment zone 23, the moisture in the air is adsorbed by the dehumidification rotor, and the process is an isenthalpic process. The air temperature has risen, and if the dehumidification is continued, the dehumidification effect will become worse. The process air thus then enters the first stage process heat exchanger 13, transferring heat to a cooling medium, such as water or air, on the other side of the heat exchanger. Then, the cooled process air enters the second-stage treatment zone 25 of the dehumidification rotor 2 again, and the moisture in the air is further adsorbed by the second-stage treatment zone 25 of the dehumidification rotor 2 to become air with lower moisture content. Next, it enters the second-stage processing heat exchanger 6 again, and transfers heat to the cooling medium on the other side of the heat exchanger. Since the selected cooling medium is cooling tower cold water or outdoor air, or indoor return air, the temperature drop of the treated air after passing through the second-stage treatment heat exchanger 7 has not yet reached the comfortable air supply requirement. Since the moisture content of the treated air at this time is low, that is, the enthalpy drop has reached the air supply requirement, the treated air flows through the evaporative cooler 8 to reduce the temperature and humidity and increase the moisture content, thereby achieving a comfortable supply air temperature and humidity working condition . The flow of the treatment air is driven by the treatment fan 9 located at the outlet of the evaporative cooler 8 (the treatment fan 9 may also be arranged between other components through which the treatment air flows) and sent to the air-conditioned room.
[0039] The wheel drive motor 3 drives the dehumidification wheel 2 to rotate through a belt (or gear). The first treatment zone 23 and the second stage treatment zone 25 of the dehumidifying wheel absorb moisture and then rotate to the first and second stage regeneration zones 24 and 26 under the drive of the motor to be heated by regeneration air to remove the adsorbed moisture. The regeneration air can be outdoor air or indoor return air, and enters the first and second regeneration heaters 12 and 5 from the first and second stage regeneration air inlet pipes 14 and 7 respectively, and is heated to the required regeneration temperature and then enters the dehumidification. Wheel regeneration area. The flow of the two-stage regeneration air is driven by the regeneration fans 10 and 1 arranged at the outlet of the regeneration area (the regeneration fan can also be arranged at other positions where the regeneration air flows), and is discharged to the outside.
[0040] The two-stage rotary dehumidification air conditioner in this embodiment only uses one rotary wheel and a set of rotary wheel drive systems, and has a compact structure, mainly relying on solar hot water as a heat source. This embodiment can be applied to summer air conditioners in commercial buildings, civil buildings and other occasions, and is suitable for medium and small systems.

Outdoor air or indoor return air, or indoor and outdoor mixed air (referred to as treatment air) enters the first-stage treatment area 23 of the dehumidification rotor 2 through the treatment air inlet duct 11, and the moisture in the air is adsorbed by the dehumidification rotor. The process is as follows: An isenthalpic process. The air temperature has risen, and if the dehumidification is continued, the dehumidification effect will become worse. Therefore, the process air then enters the first-stage process heat exchanger 13 through the process air intermediate valve 29, and transfers heat to the cooling medium on the other side of the heat exchanger. In this embodiment, the cooling medium is air (or water). Then, the cooled process air enters the second-stage treatment zone 25 of the dehumidification rotor 2 again, and the moisture in the air is further adsorbed by the second-stage treatment zone 25 of the dehumidification rotor 2 to become air with lower moisture content. Next, it enters the second-stage processing heat exchanger 6 again, and transfers heat to the cooling medium on the other side of the heat exchanger. Since the selected cooling medium is cooling tower cold water or outdoor air, or indoor return air, the temperature drop of the treated air after passing through the second-stage treatment heat exchanger 7 has not yet reached the comfortable air supply requirement. Since the moisture content of the treated air at this time is low, that is, the enthalpy drop has reached the air supply requirement, the treated air flows through the evaporative cooler 8 to reduce the temperature and humidity and increase the moisture content, thereby achieving a comfortable supply air temperature and humidity working condition .
