Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an energy-saving air conditioner, in particular to an air conditioner utilizing full water vaporization refrigeration, belonging to the field of energy-saving technology and HVAC technology. Background Art

[0002] The air conditioners used in high temperature seasons are mainly compressor refrigeration air conditioners and water curtain air conditioners. The former has good refrigeration effect and can provide better comfort but has high electricity consumption cost, while the latter consumes less electricity but has poor refrigeration effect and cannot provide better comfort. In places with poor sealing or requiring a lot of ventilation, people mostly choose water curtain air conditioners due to the high electricity cost of compressor refrigeration air conditioners, especially for cooling large industrial plants.

[0003] Traditional water curtain air conditioners mostly use honeycomb paper (laminated corrugated paper) for heat exchange. The honeycomb paper is wetted by spraying water, and the air is cooled by passing through the gaps of the moist honeycomb paper. Although the moist honeycomb paper evaporates water and absorbs heat in the air when air passes through, a larger excess air volume is actually required to effectively evaporate enough water. The larger air volume causes the cooling capacity contributed by water evaporation to be unable to meet the large-flow air cooling, that is, the problem of the low ratio of water evaporation to air volume is difficult to overcome. This is the main reason for the poor cooling effect of traditional water curtain air conditioners through water evaporation. The air is cooled by sensible heat exchange with non-frozen room temperature water, but the temperature difference between water and air is too small. Moreover, after the water curtain air conditioner water pump circulates for a certain period of time, the water will slowly absorb the heat of the excess air. The continuous accumulation of heat gradually increases the temperature of the spray water, which will further reduce the temperature difference between the spray water and the incoming air. In the end, the sensible heat exchange will gradually decrease, resulting in a further reduction in its cooling performance.

[0004] The cooling effect brought by the sensible heat exchange of water through the traditional water curtain air conditioner is extremely limited, so a larger air volume must be used to increase the evaporation of water to achieve the latent heat cooling effect. However, as mentioned above, a large air volume cannot significantly cool the air, and on the other hand, too large an air volume is not suitable in many occasions, including in factories where it is easy to blow light materials such as light paper, film, cloth, wool and foam into a mess or even blow them flying. It is not suitable for use in occasions with flour, cement powder, sawdust, etc. These powders and fine particles will cause dust when encountering strong winds. Even if used for cooling in restaurants, too large an air volume blowing towards the guests will make people feel uncomfortable.

[0005] The honeycomb paper used in the existing water curtain air conditioner is prone to mildew after a few years of use. After being out of use for a period of time, it will accumulate dust and easily become a breeding ground for bacteria and pests, which will affect the health of users when used again. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an energy-saving air conditioner, which has a smaller volume under the same cooling capacity, can be made into a thinner structure model, and has a long service life.

[0009] The present invention can further adopt the following improvement measures to solve the problem:

[0010] Further improvement measures are: an inclined guide plate is provided in the wind passage area, and the guide plate is located in front of the windward surface of the sintered honeycomb body. A V-shaped air duct that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom is formed between the guide plate and the windward surface of the upright sintered honeycomb body, and the air inlet is connected to the upper opening of the V-shaped air duct.

[0011] Further improvement measures are: a gap is left at the bottom of the V-shaped air duct to allow excess spray water to flow into the water storage area below; a gap is left between the bottom of the sintered honeycomb body outlet surface and the shell to allow water flowing down the sintered honeycomb body outlet surface to flow into the water storage area below.

[0012] Further improvement measures are: the fan is arranged inside the air inlet of the shell, the air suction port of the fan is connected with the air inlet of the shell, and the air outlet of the fan is connected with the upper opening of the V-shaped air duct.

[0013] Further improvement measures are as follows: a water storage area is provided below the shell; the water suction port of the water pump is provided at the bottom of the water storage area; the water inlet of the sprinkler is connected to the water outlet of the water pump through a pipeline; the water storage area is provided with a water injection pipe, and the water level of the water storage area is controlled by a float valve on the water injection pipe.

[0014] Further improvement measures are: the sintered honeycomb body is made of zeolite molecular sieve material or carbon molecular sieve material or microporous ceramic material. Molecular sieve material has a developed pore structure and a huge specific surface area, and has good water absorption and weather resistance.

[0015] A further improvement measure is that the sintered honeycomb body is mounted on a support frame and fixed, so as to ensure that the sintered honeycomb body will not fall and be damaged during transportation or dumping.

[0016] Further improvement measures are: the sprayer can be a flat water nozzle or a porous spray pipe, the number of the sprayers can be one or more, and they are arranged above the windward surface of the sintered honeycomb body or distributed from top to bottom.

[0032] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0033] Example 1: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an energy-saving air conditioner comprises a housing 1, an air inlet 2, a sintered honeycomb body 7, a sprayer 10, a water pump 9, an air outlet 3 and a fan 6; the air inlet 2 is arranged at the upper position of the housing 1, the air outlet 3 is arranged at the front elevation of the housing 1, and the sintered honeycomb body 7, the sprayer 10 and the water pump 9 are arranged in the housing 1. The fan 6 is arranged in the air inlet 2 of the housing 1. The sintered honeycomb body 7 is installed in a wall-like structure and stands upright in the air passage area between the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 3, so that the air entering from the air inlet 2 first passes through the honeycomb holes of the sintered honeycomb body 7 and then flows out from the air outlet 3. The sintered honeycomb body 7 is a molecular sieve honeycomb block with good water absorption; the sprayer 10 is arranged at the windward surface of the sintered honeycomb body 7; the water inlet of the sprayer 10 is connected with the water outlet 91 of the water pump 9 through a pipeline.

[0034] In this example, a water storage area 8 is provided below the shell 1; the water suction port of the water pump 9 is arranged at the bottom of the water storage area 8; the water inlet of the sprinkler 10 is connected with the water outlet 91 of the water pump 14 through a pipeline; the water storage area 8 is provided with a water injection pipe 4, and the water level 81 of the water storage area is controlled by the float valve 41 on the water injection pipe 4.

[0035] In this example, the sintered honeycomb body 7 is made by sintering a zeolite molecular sieve material. The molecular sieve material has a developed pore structure and a huge specific surface area, and has good water absorption and weather resistance.

[0036] In this example, the sintered honeycomb body 7 is mounted and fixed on a support frame 71 to ensure that the sintered honeycomb body 7 will not fall and be damaged during transportation or dumping.

[0037] In this example, the sprayer 10 is a multi-layer flat water spray nozzle, which is arranged on the windward side of the sintered honeycomb body 7 and distributed from top to bottom.

[0038] In this example, the wind passage region is provided with an inclined guide plate 11, which is located in front of the windward surface of the sintered honeycomb body 7, and a V-shaped air duct 12 that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom is formed between the guide plate 11 and the windward surface of the vertical sintered honeycomb body 7. Its function is to prevent the wind force of the fan from acting heavily on the lower part of the vertical air duct, causing the air volume entering the sintered honeycomb body from the horizontal direction to be low at the top and high at the bottom. The V-shaped air duct that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom can ensure that the wind passing through the sintered honeycomb body is relatively uniform from top to bottom.

[0039] In this example, a gap 13 is left at the bottom of the V-shaped air duct 12, which allows excess spray water to flow into the water storage area 8 below; a gap 14 is left between the bottom of the wind outlet surface of the sintered honeycomb body 7 and the shell 1, which allows water flowing down from the wind outlet surface of the sintered honeycomb body 7 to flow into the water storage area 8 below.

[0040] In this example, the fan 6 is arranged inside the air inlet 2 of the shell 1, the air intake of the fan 6 is connected to the air inlet 2 of the shell 1, and the air outlet of the fan 6 is connected to the upper opening of the V-shaped air duct 12.

[0041] In this example, the air outlet 3 of the housing 1 is provided with louvers 31 , and the louvers 31 are installed on the housing 1 .

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] Embodiment 1 (attached Figure 1 and 2 ), the working process of the present invention is as follows: the water inlet pipe is connected to external tap water, the water inlet amount is controlled by a float valve, or water is added through an artificial water injection port, the water level in the water storage area is always maintained near the water level line (81), then the fan and the water pump are started, and the water sprayer sprays water to the windward surface of the zeolite molecular sieve sintered honeycomb body. The water will enter the interior of the sintered honeycomb body with the help of wind force and be absorbed. The excess water from the spraying will flow back to the water storage area from the gap under the guide plate. Long-term spraying or intermittent spraying can be adopted, and it is sufficient to keep the sintered honeycomb body in a wet state. Driven by the fan, the external air enters from the air inlet and passes through the honeycomb space of the zeolite molecular sieve sintered honeycomb body and is discharged, completing the cooling of the air passing through.

[0044] The refrigeration principle of the present invention is: the air flowing through the zeolite molecular sieve honeycomb microchannel is used to desorb the moisture absorbed in the zeolite molecular sieve material. After the moisture is desorbed, water vapor is formed and carried out by the wind. The desorption process absorbs heat when the water vapor evaporates. Since the zeolite molecular sieve honeycomb has a large wind pass area and the molecular sieve material has an extremely high specific surface area, coupled with the open microporous structure of the molecular sieve material, the dense capillaries formed from the inside to the outside will accelerate the penetration of internal moisture to the outside. After the superposition of these factors, the water vaporization efficiency in the molecular sieve can be greatly improved. The moisture in the zeolite molecular sieve will quickly desorb to form water vapor when it contacts the air. Although the temperature of the water vapor after the phase change will not change, the latent heat required for the water vaporization phase change is obtained by absorbing the sensible heat in the moist sintered honeycomb body, that is, when the desorbed water vapor leaves the surface of the zeolite molecular sieve, it has left the cold to the sintered honeycomb body. The sintered honeycomb body is equivalent to playing the cooling role of the evaporator (surface cooler) of the refrigerator, and the subsequent air flowing through is cooled by the sintered honeycomb body after the temperature is reduced.

[0045] To summarize the above, the entire refrigeration process of the present invention is as follows: the sintered honeycomb absorbs water → the overwind desorbs the moisture from the sintered honeycomb → the sintered honeycomb is cooled after the moisture is desorbed into steam → the cooled sintered honeycomb is cooled by subsequent overwind.

[0046] The structural characteristics of the molecular sieve material and honeycomb paper material, which play a key role in refrigeration in the present invention and the traditional water curtain air conditioner, are significantly different. These differences include three key factors that have a significant impact on the water vaporization rate:

[0047] 1. Water absorption rate (water absorption per unit volume of heat exchange material): Water absorption rate depends on the porosity of the material. The higher the porosity, the higher the water absorption rate. If there is no good water absorption rate, it is impossible to store enough water in the material, and it is impossible to provide sufficient water supply support for subsequent water vaporization. In terms of water absorption rate, the porosity of molecular sieve materials and honeycomb paper materials is about 50%, and the difference in water absorption rate between the two is not much.

[0048] 2. Permeability: The water seepage rate depends on the density of capillaries formed by the pores in the material: on the one hand, the function of the capillaries is to penetrate the spray water that contacts the local surface into the inside and the surrounding until the material is completely absorbed; on the other hand, it is to diffuse the deep water to the surface. The thinner and denser the capillaries are, the higher the rate of inward and outward diffusion of water. If the rate of outward diffusion of water is low, even the heat exchange material that is saturated with water will show a "surface drying" phenomenon, and the heat exchange function will be lost. In this regard, the nano-scale pore structure of molecular sieve materials is far superior to honeycomb paper materials.

[0049] 3. Evaporation area: It is equivalent to the contact area between water and air. The larger the evaporation area, the higher the evaporation rate of water. Molecular sieve materials have an unparalleled specific surface area, which is several orders of magnitude higher than honeycomb paper materials. The two are completely on a different level.

[0050] Molecular sieve materials have excellent performance indicators in the above three aspects, while honeycomb paper materials lag far behind in the two key indicators of permeability and evaporation area.

[0051] Since the structure and performance of the molecular sieve material far exceed those of the honeycomb paper material, the present invention can evaporate more water and obtain more latent heat of vaporization heat exchange under the same air inlet temperature and the same air inlet volume than the water curtain air conditioner. This is the main factor that the refrigeration efficiency and air outlet temperature of the present invention are far superior to those of the water curtain air conditioner. Therefore, under the condition of the same cooling capacity, the volume of the present invention is smaller.

[0052] The inclined guide plate arranged in the shell of the present invention is used to prevent the fan wind force from acting heavily on the bottom of the vertical air duct, causing the air volume entering the sintered honeycomb body from the horizontal direction to be lower at the top and higher at the bottom. The V-shaped air duct that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom can ensure that the air flow through the sintered honeycomb body is relatively uniform from top to bottom.

[0053] In the present invention, a filter screen can be provided at the air inlet to filter dust in the air, and louvers can be provided at the air outlet. The louvers can be arranged horizontally or horizontally and vertically, and the angle of the louvers can be adjusted manually or electrically.

[0054] The present invention can be provided with air inlets in different directions, such as the top, front, side and back. Air can be inletted from one or two directions. The air inlets on the top, back or side of the air conditioner can be used to connect outdoor fresh air. The front or side air inlet can also be opened to the room, so as to obtain a variety of effects such as fresh air, fresh air + internal circulation air, or all internal circulation air.

[0055] The water injection method of the present invention comprises a water injection pipe 4 which can be connected to a tap water pipeline and a flip-top artificial water injection port 5. The former is suitable for the present invention to be used at a fixed position, and the latter is suitable for use when moving.
