Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of indirect evaporative coolers, and in particular relates to an indirect evaporative cooler. Background Art

[0002] The indirect evaporative cooler is essentially an air-to-air heat exchanger. The dry and wet channels are separated by the heat exchange plates in the heat exchanger. Due to the cooling effect of the wet channel on the dry channel, the temperature in the dry channel is reduced, thereby achieving a cooling effect. However, due to the lower temperature in the dry channel, when the outside air enters the dry channel, due to the temperature difference, the moisture contained in the outside air will condense on the heat exchange plates. The presence of condensed water will reduce the cooling effect of the dry channel in the heat exchanger, and the drying effect of the dry channel cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the invention

At this time, the bottom surface of the rear scraping plate 91 fits with the inclined surface of the inclined plate 94, and cooperates with the front scraping plate 93 to scrape the condensed water attached to the heat exchange plate. When the lifting plate 113 located at the front side contacts with the secondary contact switch 124, the secondary contact switch 124 transmits a signal to the peripheral terminal, receives the signal through the peripheral terminal, and controls the two sets of drive motors 114 to drive the drive screw 115 to rotate in the opposite direction, until the two sets of lifting plates 113 are both fitted with the stable plate 111 and reset;

[0054] Working principle: After condensed water adheres to the heat exchange plate, the humidity of the air discharged from the primary air outlet 6 will increase, and the humidity in the dry channel will be detected by the humidity sensor 144, that is, the air in the dry channel is discharged from the primary air outlet 6. When the air contacts the humidity sensor 144 and the humidity reaches a preset value, the humidity sensor 144 transmits the data to the external terminal, which receives the data and controls the drive motor 114 located on the front side to start, driving the drive screw 115 to rotate, so that the lifting plate 113 drives the connecting rod 103 to descend. Since the connecting rod 103 slides in the annular strip tube 102, the annular strip tube 102 When the connecting strip 101 descends with the connecting round rod 103, the front end of the front scraper plate 93 will descend with the connecting strip 101, so that the condensed water elimination module 9 is tilted. The tilted condensed water elimination module 9 has a better water guiding effect, and guides the condensed water to the front end. After the lifting plate 113 located at the front side contacts with the primary contact switch 122, the primary contact switch 122 transmits a signal to the peripheral terminal. The peripheral terminal receives the signal and controls the drive motor 114 located at the rear side to start, drive the drive screw 115 to rotate, and make the lifting plate 113 located at the rear side descend, thereby cooperating with the linkage module 10 located at the rear side to make the rear end scraper plate 91 descend. At this time, the angle between the front scraper plate 93 and the rear scraper plate 91 and the bottom surface of the dry channel of the heat exchanger 1 is smaller than the angle between the top surface of the inclined plate member 94 and the bottom surface of the dry channel of the heat exchanger 1, so the rear end of the bottom surface of the rear scraper plate 91 preferentially contacts the inclined plate member 94, which will form a blocking effect, making it difficult for condensed water to be squeezed out from the primary air inlet 5. At the same time, the lifting plate 113 located on the rear side contacts the three-level contact switch 126, and the three-level contact switch 126 transmits a signal to the external terminal, which controls the drive motor 114 located on the rear side to be turned off through the external terminal, and the front scraper plate 93 continues to descend until the lifting plate 113 located on the front side contacts the secondary contact switch 124. The scraper plate 91 at the rear end is in contact with the inclined surface of the inclined plate 94, and cooperates with the scraper plate 93 at the front end to scrape the condensed water attached to the heat exchange plate. The scraped and left condensed water is guided to the receiving box 132 through the flow slot 131 by the inclined plate 94, and the collected water is discharged through the drainage pipe 134. When the lifting plate 113 located on the front side contacts with the secondary contact switch 124, the secondary contact switch 124 transmits a signal to the external terminal, receives the signal through the external terminal, and controls the two sets of drive motors 114 to drive the drive screw 115 to rotate in the opposite direction, until the two sets of lifting plates 113 are in contact with the stabilizing plate 111 and reset.
