Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a full heat exchange membrane and a preparation method thereof, and a full heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] As the main heat recovery device in the fresh air system, the full heat exchanger can simultaneously realize the exchange of sensible heat and latent heat compared to the sensible heat exchanger, effectively saving energy while taking into account comfort. The full heat exchange efficiency of the fresh air product depends to a large extent on the heat and mass transfer performance of the full heat exchange core membrane material.
[0003] Existing heat exchange products mostly use paper-based or polymer-based membranes as the heat and moisture exchange medium. Compared to the aluminum membrane media used in sensible heat exchangers, paper-based and polymer-based membranes are hydrophilic (polymer-based membranes have a dense hydrophilic layer), making them susceptible to bacterial and mold growth, significantly impacting the heat exchange core's service life and fresh air quality. Currently, efforts to improve the antibacterial and purification capabilities of heat exchange membranes primarily involve introducing antibacterial fillers into paper pulp solutions or polymer-based coating solutions.
[0004] Polymer-based heat exchange membranes typically have a double-layer asymmetric Janus structure. The dense layer, relying on its hydrophilic properties, effectively dissolves and adsorbs water molecules from moist air, enabling mass transfer. However, the dense layer is relatively thin, accounting for only 2%-10% of the overall membrane material. The porous support layer, which is typically hydrophobic, primarily supports the dense layer, accounting for 90-98% of the overall membrane material by volume.
[0005] Existing methods for improving the antibacterial and other purification functions of polymer-based heat exchange membranes mostly involve introducing high-performance antibacterial fillers into the dense layer formula. However, because the dense layer occupies a relatively small volume of the entire heat exchange membrane, the overall antibacterial performance of the membrane is limited. Furthermore, excessive fillers in the dense layer can clog or block the hygroscopic and thermally conductive fillers, affecting the heat and moisture exchange performance of the dense layer. Furthermore, they can weaken the continuity of the polymer matrix, further compromising the dense layer's airtightness.

Therefore, it may contain information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the low filler content reduces disruption to the continuity of the hydrophilic polymer matrix in the functional dense layer, thereby maintaining high airtightness of the total heat exchange membrane.

Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples.

In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0027] The full heat exchange membrane of the present invention comprises a porous support layer and a functional dense layer coated on the surface of the porous support layer.
[0028] The porous supporting layer comprises modified hydrophobic polymer fibers and a functional agent attached to the surface of the modified hydrophobic polymer fibers.
[0029] The functional dense layer includes a hydrophilic polymer matrix and a filler.
[0030] After the hydrophobic polymer fiber is surface-modified, polar oxygen-containing functional groups are generated on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber, so that the functional agent can be compounded on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber through electrostatic action, hydrogen bonding or covalent bonding to form a porous support layer.
[0031] Functional agents are compounded on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber. The functional agents may include antibacterial agents, flame retardants, thermal conductors, hygroscopic agents, etc., and are not specifically limited here. Functional agents can impart antibacterial, flame retardant, thermal conductive, hygroscopic or other properties to the full heat exchange membrane. At the same time, it can also effectively avoid the introduction of excessive fillers into the functional dense layer, and avoid excessive fillers clogging or blocking the full heat exchange membrane, so that the full heat exchange membrane can maintain excellent thermal and moisture performance and full heat exchange capacity; in addition, the small amount of filler used can also reduce the damage to the continuity of the hydrophilic polymer substrate in the functional dense layer, thereby allowing the full heat exchange membrane to maintain a higher airtightness.
[0032] When the functional agent includes an antimicrobial agent, the full heat exchange membrane can be endowed with antimicrobial properties. Antimicrobial agents include one or more of graphene, nanosilver, silver ion compounds, quaternary ammonium salts, and titanium dioxide. When a quaternary ammonium salt is used as the antimicrobial agent, the aqueous solution of the quaternary ammonium salt carries a positive charge, which can electrostatically bind to the hydroxyl (negatively charged) functional groups on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fibers. This allows the quaternary ammonium salt to be incorporated into the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fibers, imparting antimicrobial properties to the porous support layer.
[0033] When the functional agent includes a flame retardant, it can impart flame retardancy to the full heat exchange membrane. The flame retardant includes at least one of an inorganic flame retardant and an organic flame retardant. Inorganic flame retardants include at least one of aluminum hydroxide, aluminum chloride, magnesium oxide, and silicon-based flame retardants. Organic flame retardants include at least one of ammonium polyphosphate, antimony polyphosphate, ammonium bromide, and chlorinated polyolefins. When ammonium polyphosphate is used as a flame retardant, the positive charge in its aqueous solution allows it to electrostatically bind to the hydroxyl (negatively charged) functional groups on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fibers, thereby imparting flame retardancy to the porous support layer.
[0034] When the functional agent includes a thermal conductor, thermal conductivity can be imparted to the full heat exchange membrane. The thermal conductor includes at least one of carbon nanotubes, silver nanowires, graphite, carbon fibers, boron nitride, and aluminum oxide. When water-soluble silver nanowires are used as the thermal conductor, they can form bonds with functional groups such as hydroxyl groups on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fibers through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. Thus, the water-soluble silver nanowires can be bonded to the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fibers, imparting thermal conductivity to the porous support layer.
[0035] The ratio of the functional agent content to the modified hydrophobic polymer fiber content is X. If X is too low, the functional agent cannot fully exert its functionality. Therefore, X is set to be greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 1%, 1.5%, or 1.8%. The selection of a suitable parameter is considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0036] If X is too high, the functional agent will clog the pores of the porous support layer, reducing its heat and moisture exchange performance. Therefore, X is set to be less than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 30%, 25%, or 20%. The selection of an appropriate parameter will be considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0037] Preferably, in the present invention, X may be greater than or equal to 2%, and X may be less than or equal to 20%. Within this range, the functional agent can fully exert its functionality to impart corresponding performance to the full heat exchange membrane; at the same time, it will not affect or reduce the heat and moisture exchange performance of the porous support layer.
[0038] If the thickness L of the porous support layer is too low, it will make processing of the porous support layer more difficult, which in turn will affect the processing efficiency and yield of the full heat exchange membrane. Therefore, the thickness L of the porous support layer is greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 9μm, 10μm, or 12μm. The selection of an appropriate parameter is considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0039] If the thickness L of the porous support layer is too high, it will increase the heat and mass transfer resistance during the heat and moisture transfer process, reduce the effective air duct volume in the full heat exchange membrane, and reduce the exchange efficiency of the full heat exchange membrane. Therefore, the thickness L of the porous support layer is set to be less than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 40μm, 35μm, or 30μm. The selection of an appropriate parameter will be considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0040] The present invention can optimize the thickness L of the porous support layer to ensure that the porous support layer is easy to process, with high processing efficiency and yield rate, while not increasing the heat and mass transfer resistance, not reducing the effective air duct volume in the full-heat product, and not reducing the exchange efficiency of the full-heat product.
[0041] Preferably, in the present invention, the thickness L of the porous support layer can be greater than or equal to 12 μm, and L can be less than or equal to 25 μm. Within this range, the processing efficiency and yield of the full-heat product can be maximized, and the heat and mass transfer resistance can be greatly reduced, the effective air duct volume in the full-heat product can be maximized, and the exchange efficiency of the full-heat product can be improved.
[0042] If the porosity K of the porous support layer is too low, the heat and mass transfer resistance during heat and moisture transfer in the porous support layer will increase, reducing the exchange efficiency of the full heat exchange membrane. Therefore, the porosity K of the porous support layer is set to be greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 30% or 35%. The selection of an appropriate parameter will be considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0043] If the porosity K of the porous support layer is too high, it will be difficult to apply the coating liquid to the functional dense layer. Therefore, the porosity of the porous support layer is set to be less than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 80% or 85%. The selection of an appropriate parameter will be considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0044] The present invention can ensure that the mass transfer resistance of the support layer portion is not too large by optimizing the porosity K of the porous support layer, and is also beneficial to the coating process of the dense layer coating liquid.
[0045] Preferably, in the present invention, the porosity K of the porous support layer can be greater than 55%, and K can be less than 80%. Within this range, the coating process of the dense layer coating liquid can be smoothly implemented while minimizing the mass transfer resistance of the support layer.
[0046] If the pore size T of the porous support layer is too small, the mass transfer resistance of the porous support layer will be too high. Therefore, the pore size T of the porous support layer is set to be greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 50 nm. The selection of an appropriate parameter is considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0047] If the pore size T of the porous support layer is too large, it will hinder the coating process of the functional dense layer coating liquid. Therefore, the pore size T of the porous support layer is smaller than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 3 μm. The selection of an appropriate parameter will be considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0048] The present invention can optimize the pore size T of the porous support layer to ensure that the coating process of the dense layer coating liquid is favorable, and will not cause excessive mass transfer resistance of the support layer.
[0049] Preferably, in the present invention, the pore size T of the porous support layer can be greater than or equal to 50 nm, and T can be less than or equal to 500 nm; within this range, the coating process of the dense layer coating liquid can be smoothly implemented while minimizing the mass transfer resistance of the support layer.
[0050] If the surface density N of the hydrophobic polymer fiber is too small, it is not conducive to the coating process of the dense layer coating liquid. Therefore, the surface density of the hydrophobic polymer fiber is greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 5g / m 2 , 6g / m 2 , 7g / m 2 , when designing specifically, consider choosing a suitable specific parameter, and no specific restrictions are made here.
[0051] If the surface density N of the hydrophobic polymer fibers is too large, the mass transfer resistance of the support layer will be too large. Therefore, the surface density N of the hydrophobic polymer fibers is made smaller than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 30 g / m 2 , 35g / m 2 , 40g / m 2 , when designing specifically, consider choosing a suitable specific parameter, and no specific restrictions are made here.
[0052] The present invention can ensure that the dense layer coating liquid can be smoothly coated and processed by optimizing the surface density N of the hydrophobic polymer fiber, and will not cause excessive mass transfer resistance in the support layer.
[0053] Preferably, in the present invention, the surface density N of the hydrophobic polymer fiber can be greater than or equal to 8 g / m 2 , N can be less than or equal to 12g / m 2 Within this range, the dense layer coating liquid can be effectively coated and processed smoothly without causing excessive mass transfer resistance in the supporting layer.
[0054] The hydrophobic polymer fiber can be at least one of a polymer-based hydrophobic fiber such as polyethylene (PE) fiber, polypropylene (PP) fiber, polyester (PET) fiber, or polystyrene (PS) fiber, without specific limitation. The porous support layer utilizes hydrophobic polymer fibers, which do not absorb a significant amount of water molecules. Water molecules are unable to penetrate the fibers, thereby preventing the porous support layer from increasing its moisture resistance.
[0055] If the thickness M of the functional dense layer is too small, the airtightness of the functional dense layer will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the thickness of the functional dense layer is set to be greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 0.1 μm. The selection of an appropriate parameter is considered in the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0056] If the thickness M of the functionally dense layer is too large, the mass transfer resistance of water molecules through the functionally dense layer will be significantly increased. Therefore, the thickness of the functionally dense layer is preferably less than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 1 μm, 1.5 μm, or 2 μm. The selection of an appropriate parameter is considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0057] The present invention can ensure that the air tightness of the functional dense layer will not be significantly reduced, and the mass transfer resistance of water molecules passing through the functional dense layer will not be significantly increased by optimizing the thickness M of the functional dense layer.
[0058] Preferably, in the present invention, the thickness M of the functional dense layer can be greater than or equal to 0.1 μm, and M can be less than or equal to 0.5 μm; within this range, it can effectively ensure that the air tightness of the functional dense layer will not be significantly reduced, nor will it significantly increase the mass transfer resistance of water molecules passing through the functional dense layer.
[0059] The antibacterial filler includes one or more of graphene, nanosilver, silver ion compounds, quaternary ammonium salts, and titanium dioxide (TiO2), and is not specifically limited here.
[0060] The hydrophilic polymer substrate includes one or more hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), polyurethane (PU), polyacrylic acid resin (PAA), etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0062] The hygroscopic filler includes one or more of lithium chloride (LiCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), chitosan, and metal organic framework compounds (MOF), and is not specifically limited here.
[0063] If the hygroscopic filler content is too low, the functional dense layer will not have good hygroscopic properties. Therefore, the ratio S of the hygroscopic filler content to the hydrophilic polymer substrate content is set to be greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 1% or 1.5%. The selection of an appropriate parameter is considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0064] If the hygroscopic filler content is too high, it will affect the continuity of the hydrophilic polymer matrix and reduce the airtightness of the functional dense layer. Therefore, the ratio S of the hygroscopic filler content to the hydrophilic polymer matrix content is set to be less than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 20%, 25%, or 30%. The selection of an appropriate parameter will be considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0065] The present invention can ensure that the functional dense layer has excellent hygroscopic properties by optimizing the ratio S of the hygroscopic filler content to the hydrophilic polymer substrate content, without affecting the continuity of the dense layer polymer matrix or damaging the air tightness of the dense layer.
[0066] Preferably, in the present invention, the ratio S of the hygroscopic filler content to the hydrophilic polymer substrate content can be greater than or equal to 2%, and S can be less than or equal to 10%; within this range, it can effectively ensure that the functional dense layer has excellent hygroscopic properties, and will not affect the continuity of the dense layer polymer matrix, and will not damage the air tightness of the dense layer.
[0067] The filler includes a thermally conductive filler, which can impart excellent thermal conductivity to the dense layer. The thermally conductive filler includes at least one of graphene, carbon nanotubes, silver nanowires, graphite, carbon fiber, boron nitride, and aluminum oxide.
[0068] If the thermally conductive filler content is too low, the functionally dense layer will not have excellent thermally conductive filler properties. Therefore, the ratio D of the thermally conductive filler content to the hydrophilic polymer substrate content is set to be greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 1% or 1.5%. The selection of an appropriate parameter is considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0069] If the thermally conductive filler content is too high, it will affect the continuity of the hydrophilic polymer matrix and reduce the airtightness of the functional dense layer. Therefore, the ratio D of the thermally conductive filler content to the hydrophilic polymer matrix content is set to be less than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 20%, 25%, or 30%. The selection of an appropriate parameter will be considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0070] The present invention can ensure that the functional dense layer has excellent thermal conductivity by optimizing the ratio D of the thermal conductive filler content to the hydrophilic polymer base material content, without affecting the continuity of the dense layer polymer matrix or damaging the air tightness of the dense layer.
[0071] Preferably, in the present invention, the ratio D of the thermal conductive filler content to the hydrophilic polymer substrate content can be greater than or equal to 2%, and D can be less than or equal to 10%; within this range, it can effectively ensure that the functional dense layer has excellent thermal conductivity, and will not affect the continuity of the dense layer polymer matrix, and will not damage the air tightness of the dense layer.
[0072] The filler includes an antibacterial filler, which can impart excellent antibacterial properties to the dense layer.
[0073] The antibacterial filler includes one or more of graphene, nanosilver, silver ion compounds, quaternary ammonium salts, and titanium dioxide (TiO2).
[0074] If the antimicrobial filler content is too low, the functional dense layer will not have excellent antimicrobial filler properties. Therefore, the ratio E of the antimicrobial filler content to the hydrophilic polymer substrate content is set to be greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 1%, 1.5%, or 2%. The selection of an appropriate parameter is considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0075] If the antimicrobial filler content is too high, it will affect the continuity of the hydrophilic polymer matrix and reduce the airtightness of the functional dense layer. Therefore, the ratio E of the antimicrobial filler content to the hydrophilic polymer matrix content is set to be less than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 6%, 8%, or 10%. The selection of an appropriate parameter will be considered during the specific design and is not limited here.
[0076] The present invention can ensure that the functional dense layer has excellent antibacterial properties by optimizing the ratio E of the antibacterial filler content to the hydrophilic polymer base material content, without affecting the continuity of the dense layer polymer matrix or damaging the air tightness of the dense layer.
[0077] Preferably, in the present invention, the ratio E of the antibacterial filler content to the hydrophilic polymer substrate content can be greater than or equal to 2%, and E can be less than or equal to 5%; within this range, it can effectively ensure that the functional dense layer has excellent antibacterial properties without affecting the continuity of the dense layer polymer matrix or damaging the air tightness of the dense layer.
[0078] The filler includes a porogenic filler, which can form a pore structure in the dense layer to improve the moisture absorption and thermal conductivity of the dense layer. The porogenic filler includes at least one of polyethylene glycol and silica gel, which is not specifically limited here.
[0079] If the porogenic filler content is too low, the moisture absorption and thermal conductivity of the functional dense layer will be reduced. Therefore, the ratio H of the porogenic filler content to the hydrophilic polymer substrate content is set to be greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 1%, 1.5%, or 2%. The selection of an appropriate parameter is considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0080] If the porogenic filler content is too high, it will affect the continuity of the hydrophilic polymer matrix and reduce the airtightness of the functional dense layer.

[0083] The preparation method of the full heat exchange membrane of the present invention comprises: (1) A PP hydrophobic fiber membrane prepared by a dry casting stretching process was used to prepare the hydrophobic polymer fiber. The PP hydrophobic fiber membrane has a thickness of 20 μm, a porosity of 55%, and a pore size of 300 nm. It can ensure a low mass transfer resistance of the support layer while meeting the coating process of the dense layer.
[0084] The specific dry casting and stretching process is a common process in the art and is not specifically limited herein. Alternatively, the PP hydrophobic fiber membrane can be a commercially available PP hydrophobic fiber membrane, as long as the PP hydrophobic fiber membrane has a thickness of 20 μm, a porosity of 55%, and a pore size of 300 nm.
[0085] (2) The hydrophobic polymer fiber is surface modified to obtain a modified hydrophobic polymer fiber.
[0086] The surface modification method can be high-temperature melting. The high-temperature melting treatment process is to melt a part of the outer surface of the fiber at high temperature, thereby facilitating the embedding of some high surface energy functional agents. After cooling, a modified layer embedded with the functional agent is formed on the fiber surface.
[0087] The surface modification method can be corona discharge treatment. The corona discharge treatment process generates electrons and positive and negative ions through localized discharge. Through interaction with the fiber surface, free radicals and ions are generated on the surface, thereby forming polar oxygen-containing functional groups, which facilitate the attachment of functional agents to the fiber surface through interactions such as electrostatic effects, hydrogen bonds, and covalent bonds. The discharge current can be greater than or equal to 100mA and less than or equal to 300mA. Within this range, the hydrophobic polymer fiber can be fully corona-discharged to form sufficient polar functional groups such as hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, and sulfonic acid groups on the fiber surface, thereby facilitating the attachment of functional agents to the fiber surface through interactions such as electrostatic effects, hydrogen bonds, and covalent bonds.
[0088] The surface modification method can be plasma treatment. Plasma treatment involves placing the fiber in a low-temperature plasma environment in a non-reactive or reactive gas to generate oxygen-containing functional groups or free radicals on the fiber surface. Non-reactive gases include argon and helium, while reactive gases include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, with oxygen being preferred.
[0089] The surface modification method can be a chemical oxidation process. This application uses a hydrochloric acid-potassium permanganate system chemical oxidation process to modify the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber. The hydrophobic polymer fiber is immersed and stirred in a hydrochloric acid-potassium permanganate system solution. The immersion and stirring treatment time can be greater than or equal to 8 hours, and the immersion and stirring treatment time can be less than or equal to 24 hours. The hydrophobic polymer fiber can be fully surface-modified to form sufficient polar functional groups such as hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, and sulfonic acid groups on the fiber surface, thereby facilitating the attachment of the functional agent to the fiber surface through interactions such as electrostatic effects, hydrogen bonds, and covalent bonds.
[0090] The mass ratio of hydrochloric acid to potassium permanganate is 5-15:85-95, which can fully modify the hydrophobic polymer fiber, so that a sufficient number of polar oxygen-containing functional groups or free radicals are generated on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber to strengthen the mutual cross-linking effect between the fiber surface and the antibacterial filler, thereby allowing more functional agents to adhere to the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber.
[0091] The hydrophobic polymer fiber after the immersion treatment is cleaned and dried, and the treated hydrophobic polymer fiber is repeatedly cleaned with deionized water until the pH value of the cleaning solution is greater than 6. The number of cleaning times can be greater than or equal to 5 times, and the number of cleaning times can be less than or equal to 15 times, and the hydrophobic polymer fiber can be fully cleaned.
[0092] In step (2), a polar high molecular polymer is also grown in situ on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber after the impregnation treatment to increase the number of polar functional groups on the fiber surface and strengthen the interaction between the fiber surface and the functional agent, so that more functional agents can be attached to the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber. The specific steps are: aniline monomer is in situ polymerized on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber after the impregnation treatment to generate polyaniline, and hydrochloric acid is used as a solvent during the in situ polymerization process, wherein the molar concentration of hydrochloric acid is less than or equal to 12 mol / L and greater than or equal to 2 mol / L, which can induce the aniline monomer to fully polymerize on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber to generate polyaniline, so as to maximize the number of polar functional groups on the fiber surface and strengthen the interaction between the fiber surface and the functional agent, so that more functional agents can be attached to the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber.
[0093] The polymerization reaction temperature is greater than or equal to -4°C and less than or equal to 0°C, and the polymerization reaction time is greater than or equal to 4 hours and less than or equal to 12 hours, so that the aniline monomer can be fully polymerized on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber to generate polyaniline, so as to maximize the number of polar functional groups on the fiber surface and strengthen the interaction between the fiber surface and the functional agent, so that more functional agents can be attached to the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber.
[0094] During the in-situ polymerization process, ammonium persulfate is used as an initiator for the polymerization of aniline monomer. The mass ratio of aniline monomer to ammonium persulfate is 30-50:50-80, which can ensure that the aniline monomer is fully polymerized in situ on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber. The polymerization degree of the aniline monomer ensures that a sufficient amount of polyaniline grows on the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber, thereby increasing the number of polar functional groups on the fiber surface and strengthening the interaction between the fiber surface and the functional agent, so that more functional agents can be attached to the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber.
[0095] (3) The functional agent is attached to the modified hydrophobic polymer fiber by solution blending to obtain a porous support layer; Figure 1FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the preparation process of the porous support layer of the present invention; Solution blending involves ultrasonically dispersing the functional agent in a solvent, followed by repeated immersion of the modified fiber membrane in the solution to adhere the functional agent to the modified fiber surface. The solvent includes one or a mixture of water, ethanol, methanol, acetone, N'N-dimethylformamide, N'N-dimethylacetamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The ultrasonication time is greater than or equal to 1 hour and less than or equal to 4 hours, and the number of immersions is greater than or equal to 10 and less than or equal to 50 times, ensuring that the functional agent is fully bonded to the surface of the modified hydrophobic polymer fiber.
[0096] Specifically, the functional agent is ultrasonically dispersed in a deionized water solvent to prepare a functional impregnation solution, wherein the mass fraction of the functional agent can be greater than or equal to 3wt% and less than or equal to 10wt%. Within this range, the functional agent can fully exert its functionality to give the full heat exchange membrane corresponding performance; at the same time, it will not affect or reduce the heat and moisture exchange performance of the porous support layer.
[0097] The modified hydrophobic polymer fiber is repeatedly immersed in the functional impregnation liquid, and after being immersed for a few seconds, it is placed in an oven to dry and remove the solvent, so that the functional agent is attached to the surface of the hydrophobic polymer fiber, wherein the number of immersion-drying cycles can be greater than or equal to 10 times and less than or equal to 30 times.
[0098] (4) dissolving the hydrophilic polymer substrate in a solvent, adding fillers, and mixing uniformly by ultrasonication and stirring to obtain a dense layer coating solution; The solvent includes one or a mixed solvent of deionized water, ethanol, methanol, acetone, N'N-dimethylformamide, N'N-dimethylacetamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide.
[0099] The ultrasonic time can be greater than or equal to 1 hour and less than or equal to 4 hours, and the stirring time can be greater than or equal to 2 hours and less than or equal to 12 hours. Within this range, the hydrophilic polymer substrate and the filler can be fully mixed.
[0100] In this application, water-based polyurethane can be selected as the hydrophilic polymer substrate, deionized water can be used as the solvent, CaCl2 can be selected as the hygroscopic filler, silver nanowires can be used as the thermal conductive filler, quaternary ammonium salts can be used as the antibacterial filler, and PEG can be used as the porogenic filler.
[0101] In the present invention, the mass ratio of waterborne polyurethane, CaCl2, silver nanowires, quaternary ammonium salt, and PEG can be 70-98:1-20:1-10:0.1-5:1-5; within this range, it can effectively ensure that the functional dense layer has excellent antibacterial, moisture absorption, thermal conductivity and other properties, and will not affect the continuity of the dense layer polymer matrix or damage the air tightness of the dense layer.
[0102] (5) Coating the dense layer coating solution on the surface of the porous support layer and drying in an oven to obtain the full heat exchange membrane. The drying temperature can be greater than or equal to 40° C. and less than or equal to 70° C., and the drying time can be greater than or equal to 1 hour and less than or equal to 4 hours, so as to achieve sufficient and thorough drying and ensure that the dense layer coating solution is fully cross-linked on the surface of the porous support layer.
[0103] If the coating layer is too thin, the airtightness of the functional dense layer will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the thickness of the functional dense layer is set to be greater than the first parameter value. For example, the first parameter value can be 0.1 μm. The selection of an appropriate parameter is considered in the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0104] If the coating layer is too thick, it will significantly increase the mass transfer resistance of water molecules through the functional dense layer. Therefore, the thickness of the functional dense layer is set to be less than the second parameter value. For example, the second parameter value can be 0.5 μm. The selection of an appropriate parameter will be considered during the specific design and is not specifically limited here.
[0105] In the present invention, the coating layer thickness can be greater than or equal to 0.1 μm and less than or equal to 0.5 μm; within this range, it can effectively ensure that the air tightness of the functional dense layer will not be significantly reduced, and the mass transfer resistance of water molecules passing through the functional dense layer will not be significantly increased.
[0106] The coating process includes at least one of calendering, casting, scraping, etc. The present application adopts the scraping process to evenly coat the coating solution on the surface of the modified porous support layer, and places it in an oven to dry to obtain a full heat exchange membrane.

At the same time, it can recover HVAC energy (both sensible heat and latent heat), thereby saving energy and reducing emissions in building HVAC. It will effectively and effectively promote the country's "energy conservation and emission reduction" process, and has far-reaching strategic significance and good social benefits. Example 1
