Air conditioner with waste heat recovery function

Abstract

The invention discloses an air conditioner with a waste heat recovery function. The air conditioner comprises a compressor, an outer unit fan and a thermal electricity device, wherein the compressor is used for outputting a high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant through an exhaust pipe; the outer unit fan is used for dissipating heat of the air conditioner; the thermal electricity device is used for generating power through cold and hot temperature difference and comprises a power generation module, a cold-end module and a hot-end module; the cold-end module is connected with one side of the power generation module in an attached mode; the hot-end module is connected with the other side of the power generation module in an attached mode; the hot-end module is connected with a high-temperature exhaust pipe of the compressor and is used for absorbing heat of the exhaust pipe of the compressor; and the cold-end module is used for cooling by utilizing the outer unit fan, so that a temperature difference is generated between the hot-end module and the cold-end module. The thermal electricity device fully utilizes the temperature difference generated by high-temperature gas discharged by the compressor and cooling of the outer unit fan, so that the power generation module emits electric energy according to a thermo-electric effect. The waste heat generated during air conditioning refrigeration is recovered for generating power by using the thermal electricity device, the generated electricity is directly fed back to internal components of the air conditioner to be used, and the energy consumption of the air conditioner is reduced, so that the energy-saving aim is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of air conditioning, in particular to an air conditioner with waste heat recovery function. Background technique [0002] Most of the waste heat generated by the outdoor unit in the cooling mode of existing air conditioners is wasted, and very few of them are converted into hot water for use in other places. It's a pity to waste it in vain. Converting it into hot water is not very convenient to use, requires energy storage tanks, installs complex pipelines, takes a long time to respond, and there are asynchronous situations, that is, not enough hot water is generated when needed, and a large amount of hot water is stored when not needed and many more. At the same time, the waste heat utilization of existing air conditioners cannot achieve the purpose of reducing energy consumption for the air conditioners themselves. Contents of the invention [0003] The present invention provides an air conditioner with a waste...
