Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency current collector. Background Art
[0002] With the application of large-capacity multi-split units in large-scale building systems, the single capacity of the top-discharge unit has exceeded 42P in the industry. How can a single large-capacity unit exert its performance? The duct system, as one of the three major energy-efficient components of air conditioners, has excellent performance that directly determines the energy efficiency of the entire machine and its compatibility with the actual installation scenario. At present, large-scale multi-split outdoor units of central air conditioners of various brands mostly use a dual duct system. As the core component of the duct system, the main function of the collector is to accelerate the airflow when the fan and impeller are running, and to establish a uniform velocity field and pressure field in front of the fan inlet to reduce flow losses and improve fan efficiency. The excellence of the collector directly determines the performance difference of the duct system. The existing collector is mainly divided into three parts: the inlet end, the straight end, and the outlet end (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the inlet of the existing collector is circular, and the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the inlet end to the cross-sectional area of the stabilizing end is generally about 1.1-1.2:1, while the whole load heat exchanger is generally square (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the four corners where the collector and the heat exchanger are in contact are prone to generate a large number of eddies, which can easily cause large losses in the airflow during its movement, thus affecting the overall efficiency of the air duct system and the energy efficiency of the whole machine. When the air duct system is running, the airflow is prone to chaos due to the poor connection between the collector and the heat exchanger. The chaotic airflow has different degrees of low-frequency pulsating abnormal sounds, which are low-frequency characteristics and can easily make people feel irritated. It also causes a large noise in the air supply of the whole machine. Utility Model Content
